4) Kofi Kingston Will Start A New Feud With Ali
Kofi Kingston defeated Randy Orton at Clash of Champions. It looks like he will now be moving on to a new feud. My guess is that Kofi starts a feud with Ali on Smackdown this week.
This would make sense because Kofi replaced Ali in the Elimination Chamber match several months ago. This led to Kofi going on his magical run and winning the WWE Championship. None of that happens if Ali doesn’t get injured. That seems like an easy storyline for WWE to write. Plus, there are rumors that Ali has impressed Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff as of late, so a WWE Title match could make sense for him.
I think that Ali will confront Kofi on the episode, setting up our next WWE Title program.
3) Shane McMahon Will Put Chad Gable In A Handicap Match
Last week on Smackdown, Shane McMahon was defeated by Chad Gable. After this, Shane fired Kevin Owens, who was the special guest referee for the match.
I think that Shane is going to punish Gable for beating him. I could see Gable being forced into a handicap match on the episode or something like that.
This generates some extra sympathy for Gable after his loss in the King of the Ring finals.
2) Aleister Black Will Interrupt Baron Corbin’s Coronation
WWE has confirmed that there will be a segment involving Baron Corbin on Smackdown this week. This comes after Corbin won the 2019 King of the Ring tournament.
My guess is that Aleister Black will interrupt the segment. Black has been asking for a fight for a while now, so it might make sense to have him interrupt Corbin.
This could lead to Aleister hitting Corbin with the ‘Black Mass’ to close the segment.
