#5 Brock Lesnar's WWE SmackDown promo had a world of meaning

He speaks! By the good lord, he speaks! Brock Lesnar proved on SmackDown this week that he is a really entertaining promo and going forward, he does not really need Paul Heyman. In all likelihood, he will let his actions do all the talking 90% of the time. But when the fists are not flying, Brock Lesnar can cut a promo that makes you sit up and take note!

But let's analyze his promo on SmackDown for an instant as well. The fact that he is not beholden or aligned to a particular brand means that after decimating Roman Reigns (or taking the pin), he could show up on RAW closer to WrestleMania season and take on Bobby Lashley. This is if The All Mighty is still a RAW Superstar by the time RAW is done.

What did you think of Brock Lesnar's promo on this week's show? Would you like to see him talk a lot more going forward?

#4 The Bloodline is likely to split up, come RAW

WWE SmackDown was blessed with the arrival of The New Day whereas Big E remained on RAW. The reason for this is so that the babyface does not have the numbers advantage when going up against a heel, who will likely not have backup.

From the events that unfolded on this week's show, it is clear that Roman Reigns will remain on SmackDown while The Usos could get drafted to RAW. Paul Heyman is likely to fall short when it comes to negotiations, or the storyline makes no sense at all.

The New Day and The Usos are the anchors of the tag team division. It is their job to elevate the other tag teams in the roster. Hence, they're likely to work their magic on SmackDown and RAW respectively.

#3 The WWE SmackDown Women's Champion is headed to RAW very soon

Judging from the way that SmackDown ended this week, with both women raising their titles, it is likely that Becky Lynch is headed to RAW. Gear up for a title swap soon.

Keep in mind, she never lost the RAW Women's Championship! She just relinquished it to Asuka. Plus, if she does head there, and so does Seth Rollins, an interesting possibility may unfold.

#2 A mixed-gender feud is likely to start soon

One of the many WWE SmackDown highlights this week was the sight of Seth Rollins making himself at home at Edge's house. Remember how he mentioned Beth Phoenix's name at the top of the segment?

We're likely to head into an Edge and Beth Phoenix vs. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch feud very soon indeed. Something like that would be par for the course at WWE Survivor Series.

#1 WWE SmackDown star Kevin Owens may be on his way out

Anyone that follows SmackDown star Kevin Owens' social media activity is aware that he recently teased a Mount Rushmore reunion. Mount Rushmore was a faction with Kevin Owens, Adam Cole, and The Young Bucks.

Considering 3 of the 4 men are in AEW right now, it would only make sense that Kevin Owens could also make his way there from WWE SmackDown in due time. Which would explain his booking and the manner that he lost to Happy Corbin on this week's show. It's almost possible to forget under such circumstances that he's a former world champion!
