WWE Top Five rumors of the week and analysis: December 5th, 2016

WWE is apparently inspired by Conor’s double title win

#4 Free bird rule in SmackDown

Freebird rule might apply to the SmackDown titles

Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton captured the SmackDown tag team championships at TLC when they defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno. Their reign is bound to freshen up the entire division and just like with Monday Night Raw; WWE might roll out the free bird rule on SmackDown as well.

After winning their match, both Bray and Orton kept the titles on Luke Harper’s shoulder, and this could be an indication of how they plan to defend it.

Cageside Seats notes that the free bird rule would be implied in SmackDown as well and if that is the case, the WWE would have enough opportunities to rest either Orton or Bray without losing their presence on the show.
