4) Mustafa Ali Will Start A Feud With Shinsuke Nakamura
As of right now, Shinsuke Nakamura does not have a clear opponent for the TLC PPV. WWE didn’t end up teasing anything for him on the past two episodes.
I think that Mustafa Ali will start a feud with Nakamura on the episode this week. Mustafa is the only guy who I can think of right now as he picked up a win against Drew Gulak last week. I think that match was WWE’s way to give Ali some momentum heading into a Title match.
The end goal would be Ali vs Nakamura at the TLC PPV for the Intercontinental Championship. That is the direction that I think we are heading in.
3) Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross Will Defeat Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville
Last week on Smackdown, Nikki Cross defeated Sonya Deville. After the match, Sonya and Mandy attacked Nikki. This led to Alexa Bliss coming out and making the save for Nikki.
It seems pretty likely that we will see Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville on Smackdown this week. This would make sense after what happened between them last week.
If this match does happen, I am expecting Bliss & Cross to win. They seem like the two who WWE is more likely to push.
2) The New Day Will Start A Feud With Heavy Machinery
A few weeks ago, The New Day and Heavy Machinery teamed together against The Undisputed Era. During that match, some tension was teased between The New Day and Heavy Machinery.
With The New Day not having a clear feud heading into TLC, I think that they will officially start one with Heavy Machinery on Smackdown this week.
I am not sure how this will be set-up. All I know is that I think we are getting The New Day vs Heavy Machinery at TLC for the Smackdown tag team belts.
