WWE SmackDown: 3 interesting things which could happen on the upcoming episode (27 August 2019)

The previous edition of SmackDown Live received mixed to positive reviews from critics as well as fans. While the show had its moments, it did fail to live up to the expectations on a few fronts.

While Charlotte Flair and Bayley taking shots at each other in 'A moment of Bliss' segment was a treat to watch, Buddy Murphy defeating Daniel Bryan came as a shock to many. However, Kevin Owens getting eliminated in the very first round of the King of the Ring tournament courtesy of Shane McMahon was outrageous. The ongoing feud between Shane and KO has already become stale and it's hight time WWE realize the same.

Furthermore, Daniel Bryan revealing an old, bald, Rowan lookalike guy as the mystery attacker was a great idea to end the show on a cliffhanger. However, of all the hype surrounding it, the segment did turn out to be a damp squib.

Barring a few bookings here and there, it was a good show overall and WWE would like to continue with the same momentum when SmackDown comes live from Baton Rouge River Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

While the upcoming episode is scheduled to feature the remaining two matches of the first round SmackDown matches for the King of the Ring, expect WWE to reveal Roman Reigns' mystery attacker this Tuesday night. Thus, an exciting episode seems totally on the cards.

So, without further ado, let's take a look at 3 interesting things which could happen on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.

#3 WWE reveals Daniel Bryan as Roman Reigns' mystery attacker

This could totally be on the cards

Daniel Bryan was scheduled to reveal Roman Reigns' mystery attacker on the last episode of SmackDown Live. However, what we got was a bit disappointing. Yes, Bryan revealed an old, Rowan lookalike guy as the perpetrator behind all the attacks.

Given how things unfolded last week, plus, the rumored Bryan vs Reigns for Clash of Champions, Bryan seems all but confirmed as the man behind the attacks and WWE might reveal the same on the upcoming episode of SmackDown Live.

However, it would be interesting to see how WWE goes on about revealing the same. Bryan and Rowan decimating Roman could be one such away, who knows, creative could have Roman confront the Rowan lookalike who could spill his guts out about Bryan's sinister plans.

#2 The remaining matches of the first round of King of the Ring tournament

Two remaining matches are scheduled for this Tuesday night.

The remaining two matches of the first-round SmackDown matches are scheduled to take place on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. While Chad Gable is scheduled to take on Shelton Benjamin, Ali will face off against Buddy Murphy for a spot in the second round.

In case you did not know, Elias (thanks to Shane McMahon) and Andrade have already qualified for the second round after they defeated Kevin Owens and Apollo Crews respectively last week.

While Ali vs Buddy Murphy promises to be a classic match, a win for the former looks more likely as per the betting odds. However, given how WWE has been pushing Murphy in the last two weeks, you never know.

On the other hand, given how Gable did not look too amused over Benjamin's joke on his height, one could sense a storyline developing between the two. Expect Gable to secure a win to move to the next round, WWE could then have Shelton cost him his second-round match to lay down the breadcrumbs for a feud.

#1 Kevin Owens gets suspended after attacking Shane McMahon

This could totally be on the cards after what happened last week.

On the last episode of SmackDown Live, Kevin Owens faced Elias in the first round qualifying match for the King of the Ring tournament. However, the latter picked up a victory thanks to a quick count by the special guest referee, Shane McMahon.

In case you did not know, Owens was fined $100,000 a week prior by Shane McMahon and given how things unfolded this week, it seems WWE is not in the mood of putting this feud to bed anytime soon.

Thus, expect an infuriated Owens to confront Shane McMahon for his actions last week. This could then turn south very soon resulting in Owens getting suspended indefinitely. I mean, that's how it goes in these types of storylines, right?

On another note, as I have said it before, the existing feud between Shane and Owens has already become stale and WWE needs something magical to make it relevant once again.
