The last week before WrestleMania 35 has begun, and we have a lot of hopes attached to the final episodes of SmackDown Live before the event takes place on April 7.
Raw managed to deliver quite a few punches before the Show of Shows, and now it’s time for the blue brand to do the same.
WWE is doing a good job building the storylines for the matches that will unfold at the Show of Shows, and they will want to end SmackDown on a high before the mega event to get fans even more excited for it.
Keeping that in mind, we have made a list of 3 crucial things which WWE should do this week to make SmakDown sign off before WrestleMania with a blast.
Take a look at the 3 things that should happen on SmackDown Live this week below, and share what you are looking for from WWE this week in the comments section!
#3 Add Andrade to the United States Championship match
Andrade has been giving A-grade performances in televised matches since his arrival to the main roster.
Many fans would be extremely furious that he hasn’t won a championship on the main roster after all he has done, and even more furious knowing that he’s not even in any worthy matches at WrestleMania.
Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio will battle it out for the United States Championship at WrestleMania, and the two veterans will definitely give a classic performance.
Before the match takes place, Mysterio will battle Andrade in a one-on-one match on SmackDown Live this week.
WWE should use this opportunity to give Andrade a win over Mysterio aided by Samoa Joe, and then adding Andrade to the US Championship match for WrestleMania.
This would help the budding superstar get more notice, and put him in the race for the championship for the next few months.
#2 Make a Tag Team Ladder Match
It’s quite surprising that apart from WWE’s newest championships, the Women’s Tag Team Championships, no other tag team championship matches have been added to the WrestleMania card yet.
Apart from the above-mentioned titles, WWE currently has the NXT, SmackDown, and Raw Tag Team Championships actively being competed for.
As the holders of the SmackDown Tag Team titles, The Usos seem like the best men to be added to the WrestleMania card to make the event all the more glittery.
WWE should go ahead and announce a fatal-four way ladder match for the titles, and add The New Day, The Bar, and The Hardys to the mix.
This type of match has been used by WWE in the past and has been hugely popular with the fans. The Hardys’ return during WrestleMania a couple of years ago in this type of a match is among the greatest WrestleMania moments in recent history.
Therefore, SmackDown should use the final episode before Sunday to announce a SmackDown Tag Team Championship match.
#1 Announce a new stipulation for the WWE Championship
There are many reasons why WrestleMania is referred to as the Show of Shows, and one of those reasons is that all the different stipulation under which different pay-per-views are named or matches are fought come together in one event.
Vince McMahon had been extremely reluctant to give Kofi Kingston a chance for the WWE Championship, but Kofi and his buddies overcame all odds to earn the opportunity that he rightfully deserves.
Even though Kofi now has the opportunity, there is all possibility that Vince will now try to somehow pile the odds against the leader of The New Day so that he has little chance of winning the title.
Vince can do it in any way possible as the Chairman of the Board and without any rhyme or reason. He can do this by making the match a handicap match and adding Rowan to Daniel Bryan’s side.
Another possible way is making the match a submission-only match, taking out any chance of pinning your opponent as Kofi has no submission moves in his move-set, and relies on pinning his opponents for the win. Bryan, on the other hand, has quite a few submission manoeuvres under his belt.
Whatever the stipulation is added, Vince should do it on SmackDown this week to make the match seem even more impossible for Kofi and making his possible victory even more memorable.
