Here are some of our predictions for this week’s episode of Smackdown.
7) Ali vs Shinsuke Nakamura Will Be Officially Confirmed For The Hell In A Cell PPV
Last week on Smackdown, Ali was attacked by Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura. It looks like this will be our next program for the Intercontinental Championship.
My guess is that on Smackdown this week, Nakamura vs Ali gets officially confirmed for the Hell in a Cell PPV.
This could be a really strong match if given enough time.
6) Shane McMahon Will Try To Make A Deal With Kevin Owens
Last week on Smackdown, Kevin Owens announced that he is suing Shane McMahon for $25 million in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
I think that on the episode this week, Shane will attempt to make a deal with Owens to get him to drop the suit. Shane will likely give Owens his job back on Smackdown and will offer him a Title shot in the future or something like that.
I think that Owens will refuse any offer and will continue to make Shane’s life a living hell for the next few weeks. It will be fun to see someone with some power over Shane for once since it is usually the other way around.
5) Heavy Machinery Will Win Another Tag Team Match
To me, it feels like WWE is building up Heavy Machinery to be the next challengers for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles. I could see them challenging for the belts after the Hell in a Cell PPV.
In the meantime, I see WWE having them pick up another win on the episode this week.
It will likely be against a lower card tag team or a team of jobbers. Something to give them some more momentum.
