This week’s episode of SmackDown promises to be an eventful one, since it is the first episode since the Money in the Bank PLE that took place on Saturday. We could get everything from Cody Rhodes inserting himself into the WWE Championship picture to Seth Rollins and company causing all kinds of chaos.
WWE could also give us some returns and debuts this week on The Blue Brand. Here are four potential ones that could shake up the show:
#4. Mr. Iguana
WWE x AAA Worlds Collide was a game-changing event for both promotions, featuring some of the best wrestlers from the two promotions clashing in a spectacular event. One of the standout names was Mr. Iguana, whose unique wrestling style instantly grabbed the attention of the WWE Universe.
It’s a matter of time until Iguana makes his official WWE debut. Who says it can’t happen on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown?
#3. Ilja Dragunov
Ilja Dragunov has been out with an injury for weeks. A lot has happened during his time away from the ring, including his rival Gunther winning the World Heavyweight Championship.
Dragunov’s return has been talked about for weeks now, and SmackDown could be the day. The intensity on the roster will rise sharply should he come back.
#2. Joe Hendry
Joe Hendry has been a delight to watch whenever he has shown up on WWE TV. His Royal Rumble and NXT appearances have been class, while his WrestleMania match with Randy Orton was an absolute blast to watch. However, he has yet to make his main roster debut.
SmackDown could be a great platform for WWE to finally pull the trigger on Hendry’s main roster debut. Someone needs to say his name.
#1. Hikuleo
There are rumours floating around that Hikuleo is set to make his WWE debut and play a starring role in Solo Sikoa’s faction. If that is true, it could take place as early as this week’s episode of SmackDown, making it a must-see show.
After Jacob Fatu cost Sikoa the Money in the Bank briefcase on Saturday, he will be itching to get his revenge. The thought of him, JC Mateo, and Hikuleo teaming up to destroy Fatu is actually very exciting for some WWE fans.
After seeing how incredible RAW was this past Monday, the WWE Universe is hyped for SmackDown. With the King and Queen of the Ring tournament underway, along with stars like John Cena and Cody Rhodes booked for tonight, this week’s episode of The Blue Brand will be a memorable one.
