Mysterious video plays on WWE SmackDown; potential new stars arriving

WWE SmackDown had a strange vignette aired in the opening hour of the show this week. This has led to speculation about what the creative department may hint at.

This week, the show opened with AJ Styles coming out for a promo. Amid everything, a mysterious video package showed some silhouetted figures. The vignette also featured fast muscle cars, with a message of "coming soon."

Speculation about what the video meant immediately gripped the wrestling community. While the theme of the vignette seemed to resemble Fastlane, many believe it may hint at the Motor City Machine Guns making their debut soon.

MCMG has been in the news for weeks now, with reports coming in about them signing with WWE. Given the tag team's veteran status, their entry is expected to cause major turmoil among audiences and the locker room.

If what the vignette hints at is the two stars joining the active scene, fans are certainly in for a treat. Only time will tell if the Motor City Machine Guns will be coming in soon.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former.
