Here are some of our predictions for this week’s episode of Smackdown.
7) Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali & Shorty G Will Defeat King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.
WWE has confirmed a 6-man tag team match for the episode this week. It will be Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali & Shorty G vs King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode.
I think that Reigns’ team is going to win. All of his team members will be on Team Smackdown at Survivor Series. As a result, it doesn’t make sense for them to lose prior to the event.
I think that Reigns will pin Ziggler or Roode to give his team the win. Ziggler and Roode aren’t in the match at Survivor Series so they can take the loss here.
6) AJ Styles Will Get The Better Of Shinsuke Nakamura & Roderick Strong
The Survivor Series card will feature Shinsuke Nakamura vs Roderick Strong vs AJ Styles. So far, this match hasn’t had much storyline development.
My guess is that we see Nakamura, Strong, and Styles get into a big brawl on the episode this week. I could see both Strong and Styles trying to attack Nakamura at some point during the episode.
My guess is that AJ Styles will be the one who stands tall on the episode this week. I don’t have him winning the triple threat match but I could see him going into Survivor Series with the momentum.
5) Several NXT & RAW Stars Will Beat Down Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman will be a member of Team Smackdown at Survivor Series (for the men’s elimination match). While saying that, he hasn’t been involved in any of the brand warfare storyline so far. I see that changing on Smackdown.
On Smackdown this week, I have a feeling that Braun is going to squash a jobber. After this, Strowman will get attacked by several members of the NXT & RAW rosters.
The goal of this is to piss off Braun prior to Survivor Series. That way, it gives him a reason to care about the men’s elimination match on Sunday. It would be simple but effective booking.
