WWE SmackDown: 5 Storylines That Will Make This Week’s Show Exciting
WWE SmackDown is returning this Friday with fresh excitement, and this time the stage is set at Allstate Arena in Chicago, the hometown of CM Punk. After the conclusion of the WrestleMania Europe Tour, this will be the first SmackDown show in the United States. WWE is leaving no stone unturned to make it special.
While legends like CM Punk and Roman Reigns will be part of this episode, some explosive matches and storylines are also ready to surprise the audience. Rey Fenix will make his first appearance in WWE this week, and there will be a clash between Naomi and B-Fab as well.
Let’s take a look at the five biggest storylines that fans will have their eyes on this week
1. Countdown Begins for WrestleMania’s Main Event
Last week, the triple-threat match between Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk for WrestleMania 41 was officially announced. All three signed the contract, and now it’s confirmed that this match will be part of the main event.
CM Punk and Roman Reigns will be present on this week’s WWE SmackDown, and since it’s Punk’s hometown, his presence will fill fans with huge excitement.
2. Drew McIntyre’s Eye Injury, Fight Continues
After defeating Randy Orton last week, Drew McIntyre was leaving the arena when Damian Priest suddenly attacked him. A powerful chokeslam sent Drew crashing onto a car windshield.
This attack left one of Drew’s eyes injured, and now we’ll see how long it takes him to recover. Will his feud with Priest turn even more intense?
3. Braun Strowman vs Jacob Fatu: Last Man Standing
Two giants, Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu, will face off in a Last Man Standing Match this week.
Last week, Fatu attacked Strowman and ruined his chance at winning the United States Championship. Now, this battle has become a matter of pride for both.
Braun Strowman vs Jacob Fatu – Last Man Standing Showdown
| Competitor | Strength | Past Encounter |
|---|---|---|
| Braun Strowman | Brutal Power & Endurance | Interrupted by Fatu |
| Jacob Fatu | Speed + Unexpected Attacks | Ambushed last week |
4. Randy Orton’s Rage and Kevin Owens’ Tricks
After a clash at the beginning of last week’s show, Randy Orton lost to Drew McIntyre.
The main reason for the loss was Kevin Owens, who distracted Orton during the match. When Owens tried to attack Orton further, ‘The Viper’ tried to respond with his famous punt kick.
Now this rivalry has reached the WrestleMania stage and could heat up further on SmackDown.
5. Naomi vs B-Fab Clash, but Jade Cargill Might Show Up Too
In the last episode, Naomi attacked Michin and B-Fab backstage. B-Fab was the main target, and now the two are set to face each other in a singles match this week.
Jade Cargill, who Naomi narrowly escaped last week, might show up again and bring a big twist during the match.
