5 twists that could happen in the SmackDown Live after Hell in a Cell

If booked right, this could be an explosive episode of SmackDown Live
If booked right, this could be a very explosive episode

After what was a pretty intense edition of Hell in a Cell, the aftermath of the event will play out on SmackDown Live, this week. Last week's go-home show was a disappointment, and the viewership tanked because of how poorly the show had been put together.

This week, there's a chance to rectify the wrongs of last week and ride the momentum of the pay-per-view to create some compelling television. If any of the five twists we list here play out at the show, it could be a very massive success indeed.

In fact, as good as this week's edition of RAW was, SmackDown Live has a chance to even top that. Here are some of the way by which it can.

Let us know in the comments if you find our possibilities likely.


#5 Triple H returns for retribution

Imagine a feud between Kevin Owens and Triple H!
Imagine a feud between Kevin Owens and Triple H!

Triple H has a strange habit of turning on his own guys. After taking Seth Rollins under his wing, Triple H cost him the Universal Championship and handed it over to his next guy, Kevin Owens.

Now that Owens has put both his father-in-law and brother-in-law out of commission, let's hope that the "King of Kings" will come back strong, seeking revenge. It could lead to a program between Triple H and Kevin Owens for Survivor Series.

Both men are exceptional on the microphone, and with the right booking, this could be the big marquee match, for the grand pay-per-view. Owens proved that he can steal the show with a non-wrestler like Shane McMahon, so he could tear the house down with Triple H come Survivor Series.

There's another big name who could make a return, come SmackDown Live.

#4 Paige comes to challenge Natalya

The rumors have been growing stronger every day

Paige has been teasing a return for a really long time now. Having been put on the shelf with an injury, Paige missed out on almost the entirety of the WWE Women's Revolution (except for the very start with Team PCB).

Natalya thwarted Charlotte Flair's chances of becoming the SmackDown Live Women's Champion and could be looking for a new challenger, when Paige's familiar music could interrupt the proceedings. The WWE Universe would go absolutely bananas!

Natalya and Paige could have a very fresh feud. Paige could also benefit immensely from working closely with a veteran like Natalya, and getting back in the groove.

Having Paige win the championship could be a great story of redemption. Here's another great story, that could play out in a few hours...

#3 Luke Harper debuts another avatar

Could we see the debut of a brand new gimmick?
Could we see the debut of a brand new gimmick?

Luke Harper is probably the most talented guy on the WWE roster, who's not on weekly television. We had heard rumours that this is because he was being repackaged in a brand new avatar, and would make his television reappearance soon.

We wonder if Pulp Fashion is leading to the return of this former Wyatt family member, once again. Harper is the underdog that many in the WWE Universe root for, and is a surprisingly agile man for his size. With the right kind of booking, he could be a solid mid-carder, or even a main eventer, given the right kind of push.

We'd recommend a shave, a shower and maybe a haircut as well. The new gimmick should not have any elements of the supernatural, as it would be far too similar to the Wyatt Family storyline.

Speaking of great in-ring workers, how cool would this be, if it actually did happen?

#2 AJ Styles becomes the US Champion again

Could WWE go off air with a feel good moment?
Could WWE go off air with a feel-good moment?

Many fans have complained that AJ Styles does not wrestle on SmackDown Live enough. Rumours indicate that Styles had been wrestling dark matches in recent weeks, trying to stop the crowd from leaving before 205 Live came around.

This week, it seems likely that he will challenge Baron Corbin for the United States Championship on SmackDown Live. While most fans expect a long run for Corbin, WWE may have booked this match to have AJ Styles regain his championship after a competitive contest.

It would ensure that WWE went off the air with a feel-good moment, and made us want to tune in again next week. There haven't been enough feel-good moments from WWE, in the recent past.

#1 Kevin Owens moves to RAW

Could we see The Prizefighter shift to RAW soon?
Could we see The Prizefighter shift to RAW soon?

With the possible exception of AJ Styles, it seems that whenever someone gets over on SmackDown Live, WWE transfers him/her to RAW. There are various rumours circulating online that Kevin Owens may become a RAW superstar soon.

The perfect way to do this would be to have Stephanie McMahon return to television, and punish Kevin Owens for his actions. Not only did he injure her father, he also poisoned the mind of the ultimate babyface, Sami Zayn. One way to do this would be to fire him.

Who knows? Stephanie could also hire him for RAW, considering that she is at odds with her brother, Shane McMahon. In either case, Kevin Owens could switch brands, this week.

Let us know if you think any of these possibilities could play out. Join us again for the 'Best and Worst' of SmackDown Live, in a few hours. Until the next time, have a good day!
