4) Daniel Bryan Will Try To Convince Roman Reigns That He Is Not In Cahoots With Erick Rowan
One of the big storylines heading into Smackdown will be what happened last week between Erick Rowan, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns. Last week’s episode ended with Rowan attacking both Bryan and Reigns.
My theory is that Bryan is going to be revealed as the mastermind behind everything after Clash of Champions. On the episode this week, I think that Bryan will plead to Reigns that he is not involved with Rowan anymore.
The end game of this storyline will likely lead to Bryan vs Reigns at Hell in a Cell. In the meantime, I think Bryan will try to trick Reigns into thinking that he is finished with Rowan on the episode this week.
3) Chad Gable Will Defeat Elias In The King Of The Ring Semi-Finals
Chad Gable will be facing off against Elias in the King of the Ring semi-final match.
My guess is that Gable is going to win the match to advance to the finals of the tournament.
It would make sense to put him against a heel (Baron Corbin) in the finals.
2) Baron Corbin Will Attack Chad Gable After The Match
After Chad Gable beats Elias, I am predicting that Baron Corbin will appear and attack him.
They will be facing off on Sunday night and WWE doesn’t have any time to build up their feud. As a result, Corbin attacking him here would be an easy way to get the feud going prior to the PPV.
This gets some heat on Corbin and gets the crowd behind Gable. I think that it would make sense.
