Here are some of our predictions for this week’s episode of Smackdown.
7) Nikki Cross Will Defeat Bayley After Some Help From Shayna Baszler
WWE has officially confirmed a match for Smackdown. It will be Nikki Cross vs Bayley. If Nikki wins, she will earn a spot on the Women’s team at Survivor Series.
My guess is that Nikki is going to win this match. This will come after Shayna Baszler interferes and distracts Bayley.
Nikki will become the final member of Team Smackdown. This will also continue the feud between Bayley and Shayna.
6) Alexa Bliss Will Return To Help Out Nikki Cross
After Shayna Baszler attacks Bayley, I am expecting her to escape through the crowd. My guess is that Bayley (and probably Sasha Banks) will take out her anger on Nikki Cross after this all happens.
I could see Alexa Bliss returning here to make the save for Nikki. Bliss is currently out with an injury but the rumor mill suggests that it is only minor.
This could be a solid way to bring Alexa back to WWE television after she has missed the past few weeks.
5) Roderick Strong Will Attack Shinsuke Nakamura
On Smackdown this week, I am expecting some storyline development for the midcard Title match at Survivor Series (Roderick Strong vs AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura).
Since nothing has happened yet, I think that it would make sense for Roderick Strong to make a surprise appearance on Smackdown and attack Shinsuke Nakamura.
This would be a fun moment and an easy way to crank up the heat in the build towards their match at Survivor Series.
