WWE SmackDown Preview: Brock Lesnar’s epic reunion with Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns’ master plan in the works? (24th December, 2021)

#4 Toni Storm gets a shot at the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Toni Storm and Sasha Banks teamed up to face Charlotte Flair and Shotzi. The match ended with Storm pinning the women’s champion to pick up a victory for her team. It was a huge moment for her as she finally got the credible reason to challenge The Queen for the title.

Toni Storm struggled to get this championship shot for a long time and was humiliated on multiple occasions in the process. But now, she has a huge opportunity to establish herself as a top star in the SmackDown women’s division.

It is unlikely she will dethrone Charlotte Flair as the champion tonight, but we could still see their title feud extend until the Day 1 pay-per-view.

#3 The Usos continue their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship feud with The New Day

The Usos will put their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships on the line against King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston at the Day 1 pay-per-view.

The two tag teams shared a long history in the promotion and have delivered some of the best tag team matches in the past. They are now heading towards another title bout and will look to intensify their feud on the show.

Woods has defeated both Jimmy and Jey Uso in recent weeks. The New Day has strong claims over the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships and will build momentum on the blue brand.

The Bloodline are focused on Roman Reigns’ feud with Brock Lesnar. King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston could potentially join The Beast Incarnate in his confrontations with The Tribal Chief and his cousins.
