WWE seems to have a habit of leaving fans with more questions than answers, and that includes this past Sunday night following Hell in a Cell. While WWE answered a few questions on RAW, there are even more that need answering over on SmackDown.
Keep in mind that these are crucial questions that could change the landscape of Friday Night SmackDown. The Blue brand is also handling a few big money feuds at the moment, which makes one wonder what is next for all those Superstars involved.
With many questions still left unanswered, here are five that are hopefully resolved by the time Friday Night SmackDown concludes. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to tell us what questions you want answered.
#5. What does WWE have planned for the midcard of Friday Night SmackDown
WWE did a lot of great storytelling at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, but there were many Superstars on both brands that were left out. Not only did this leave a bit of a hole in the midcard for both brands, it also left Friday Night SmackDown with a lot of work to do once Friday night comes around.
Keep in mind that WWE has a lot of options with their midcard right now, including the Mysterio family versus Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn's next challenger and the women's division, which should all have the potential to go in a variety of directions in the coming weeks.
In the end, Friday Night SmackDown has a stacked midcard and fans should probably expect them to utilize that to the fullest. In fact, between Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn, The Street Profits and a pretty good women's division, there are a lot of possibilities here.
#4. What does WWE do with Otis from here?
What is WWE going to do with the breakup of Otis and Tucker Knight of Heavy Machinery? That is the question left in a lot of fans' minds after Knight cost his best friend the Money in the Bank briefcase in vindictive fashion. Tucker then claimed that Otis wasn't even capable of functioning without him and that he was tired of never getting the spotlight.
Tucker went on to dig the knife in even deeper, stating that Otis would have never gotten a date with Mandy Rose without his help. Otis didn't take too kindly to the betrayal, though, and ambushed Knight before the two were finally separated by WWE officials.
With the two Superstars supposedly on different brands and Otis losing everything that mattered to him, what will happen next? Is there any lower they can go with Otis's character or is WWE planning to turn him into some kind of pity party act?
#3. Who will be WWE SmackDown's Survivor Series team?
WWE has many traditions they follow throughout the year and one of the most exciting ones is the annual Survivor Series matches in November. Not only is it a chance for RAW and SmackDown to battle for brand supremacy, but it also allows fans to see encounters they wouldn't see otherwise.
Of course, WWE doesn't really seem to be going all-in with the brand supremacy angle this year, since they are leaving NXT out of the mix, but it should still be fun to watch. The only question left to answer, however, is who will be a part of SmackDown's men's and women's Survivor Series team this year?
Keep in mind that SmackDown roster boasts of Superstars like Lars Sullivan, Seth Rollins, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, Aleister Black, Natalya, Sasha Banks, and Bayley, who would all be great picks. Who SmackDown ultimately chooses for their team remains to be seen, but they are going to need some ringers to hang with RAW's Survivor Series teams.
#2. What does WWE do next with the Mysterio family?
WWE has teased some kind of relationship between Aalyah Mysterio and Buddy Murphy for a while now, but have given no definitive answers on the subject. In fact, it's been vague, with Aalyah coming to Murphy's rescue and even telling her parents that they are wrong about Buddy Murphy, which has proven somewhat confusing.
If nothing else, WWE can't keep spinning their wheels with this storyline and need to give fans some kind of payoff. Whether that happens to be a budding romance between Murphy and Aalyah, or Murphy trying to make things right with the Mysterio family, something needs to happen.
In the end, WWE has done a great job at attracting interest with this storyline, but the progression has become stagnant to some degree. That's why the next couple of weeks should be very interesting for the Mysterio family and that should all start this Friday night on SmackDown
#1. Will WWE have Roman Reigns kick Jimmy and Jey Uso out of the family?
WWE Superstar and current Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated Jey Uso in the first ever Hell in a Cell I Quit match, but only managed to do so after a controversial series of events. In fact, Jey Uso only uttered the words "I quit" after watching his own brother Jimmy be chocked out by Roman Reigns and begging for help.
While Jey Uso's second loss might mean the end of his chances at the title, it does begin a chapter in his career where he is forced to do Roman Reigns' bidding. This is going to be a very powerful storytelling tool as time goes on and is going to add some variety to Roman Reigns' next feud.
With Jey Uso now likely out of the title picture, will the Usos fall in line and obey their cousin? Or will they have a crisis of conscience and refuse to follow Reigns' barbaric orders? Also, it's worth watching whether Jey will be part of the men's Survivor Series team or find himself involved with Reigns' match against RAW-affiliated WWE Champion Randy Orton.
