WWE SmackDown Live Preview: August 08, 2017

#5 The odds are stacked!

John Cena has Jinder Mahal to worry about... but will that be all?

John Cena dealt with his loss to Shinsuke Nakamura like the champion that he is, classy as ever and even more determined to right his mistakes.

Such a driven and refocussed John Cena surely spells disaster for WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, when the two square off on SmackDown Live this week.

But will Baron Corbin allow the match to proceed as planned?

Corbin has a nasty habit of sticking his nose into matters that don't concern him and may view a match between Cena and Mahal as the perfect opportunity to make a statement by again taking out the Face that Runs the Place.

Although John Cena is about as formidable as they come, it does seem like he is caught between a rock and a hard place this time around.

Will the Leader of the Cenation come out swinging like we expect him to? Or will the odds prove too insurmountable, even for him?

To find out, make sure you tune in to this week's episode of SmackDown Live!
