WWE SmackDown Preview: Brock Lesnar returns to Roman Reigns’ nightmare, former champions form a new alliance (3rd December, 2021)

#4 Sasha Banks finds a new ally on WWE SmackDown

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Sasha Banks fought for Naomi, and the two got a match against Natalya and Shayna Baszler. This in-ring battle allowed Naomi to prove herself as a top competitor, which she desperately needed after constantly being sabotaged by Sonya Deville.

The two superstars could form a mutually beneficial alliance on the blue brand moving forward.

Banks is currently involved in a feud with Shotzi while Naomi has found a nemesis in Baszler. All four superstars can engage in multiple matches while simultaneously extending their respective feuds on WWE SmackDown.

Both The Boss and Naomi are top babyfaces on the show at the moment, and they deserve to be part of compelling feuds on the blue brand before they eventually enter the title picture.

#3 Sheamus continues his feud with Cesaro on WWE SmackDown

Sheamus has found a trusted friend in Ridge Holland on WWE SmackDown. Last week, the latter made his in-ring debut against Cesaro, sowing the seeds of an extended feud between two former tag team partners.

The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg share a long history between them, and they could deliver an entertaining storyline in the coming weeks.

Since Sheamus can rely on Holland, he is likely to have an advantage in this storyline moving forward. But it is crucial that both former members of The Bar are involved in good narratives as they have not been part of significant rivalries in a long time.

Hopefully, this will help push both Cesaro and Sheamus into the world title picture while also helping Ridge Holland establish himself as a promising superstar.
