Here are some of our predictions for this week’s episode of Smackdown.
7) Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton Will Be Made Official For TLC
It seems clear to me that we are heading towards a match between Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton at the TLC PPV. These two have been involved in a feud on Smackdown over the past several weeks.
My guess is that WWE makes it official this week on Smackdown.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if it is made into a stipulation match at TLC. This is based on how violent Orton has been over the past few weeks.
6) The United States Championship Match Will Be Confirmed For TLC
I think that we are also going to see Shinsuke Nakamura vs Rusev happen at TLC for the United States Championship. This was hinted at on last week’s episode, where Nakamura attacked Rusev prior to their match.
My guess is that Nakamura vs Rusev gets officially added to the TLC card on Smackdown this week.
This would be a solid addition to the card.
5) Samoa Joe Will Attack Jeff Hardy Backstage
It seems clear to me that we are going to get Jeff Hardy vs Samoa Joe at TLC. These two started a feud last week after Joe interrupted Hardy’s celebration of 20 years in WWE.
My guess is that we will see Joe attack Hardy backstage on Smackdown this week. This will be an added layer to the storyline and will hint at a future match at TLC being announced.
I don’t think that Joe vs Hardy will get confirmed this week for TLC but I think it will be strongly hinted at. I think a backstage attack accomplishes that.
