4) Nikki Cross Will Defeat Mandy Rose
WWE has officially confirmed that Mandy Rose and Nikki Cross will be facing off on Smackdown this week.
This should be a solid match for the episode. I definitely see Nikki winning as she just became the number one contender for the Smackdown Women’s Title. It would be silly to have her lose just one week later.
My guess is that Nikki will beat Mandy after a solid match.
3) Nikki Cross vs Bayley For The Smackdown Women’s Title Will Be Announced For Next Week
Last week on Smackdown, Nikki Cross defeated Carmella, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Lacey Evans, and Dana Brooke. As a result, Nikki earned a future Smackdown Women’s Championship match against Bayley.
My guess is that WWE is going to do that Title match on next week’s episode. Smackdown next week is only one day after Crown Jewel, so it would make sense to build the episode around a Women’s Title match. The guys are going to be tired from the PPV, so WWE should put a ton of effort into booking some great Women’s matches for the episode.
Announcing it on Smackdown also gives WWE a week to promote the match.
2) Braun Strowman Will Squash The B Team
Braun Strowman attacked Tyson Fury while he was at the WWE Performance Center this week. As a result, Fury hurt his foot. My guess is that Fury won’t be on Smackdown this week so he can rest up.
That means Braun needs something else to do. He defeated Drew Gulak last week and I am expecting another win for Braun on Smackdown.
This time, I think that Braun will squash both members of The B Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel). This will showcase Braun’s dominance heading into his big match at Crown Jewel.
