It's time for another episode of WWE SmackDown, and this week, it's anyone's guess what will happen. With a lack of announced matches and a GM who's been out of action, the show feels like a ship without a captain. But fear not, for there's still plenty to discuss and analyze, and I'm here to guide you through it all. So, let's dive in and explore the possibilities and implications of this week's episode.
One of the biggest questions on everyone's mind is what will happen with GUNTHER. After his brutal attack on Nick Aldis, the Ring General needs to face consequences. In a normal work environment, he'd be fired, but in pro wrestling, we know better. We need charismatic trash talk, low blows, and maybe even a 2-on-1 match with Aldis and Adam Pearce. But will Pearce be up to the task? Or will he just announce GUNTHER's opponent at SummerSlam? Personally, I think the latter is more likely, as Pearce has a history of being a bit of a pushover.
Speaking of matches, the CM Punk and Cody Rhodes vs. GUNTHER and Sami Zayn tag team match at Saturday Night's Main Event needs some stakes. Will Zayn return and demand a spot in the WWE Championship match? Will Punk and Rhodes have any tension between them? I think we need to see some tension between Punk and Rhodes, as their dynamic has been a bit one-sided lately. And what about the women's division? With Rhea Ripley out, who will challenge for the WWE Women's Championship? I think we need to see some new blood step up, maybe even Chelsea Green or Nia Jax.
The return of Baron Corbin is another interesting development. Will he get some promo time to explain his desire for Trick Williams' title? How will this affect Ricky Saints' pursuit of the belt? And what about Blake Monroe and Chelsea Green? With Monroe attacking Green on last week's episode, will we see some tension between them? I think we need to see some more development between them, as their dynamic has been a bit one-sided lately.
The WWE Tag Team Champions, Damian Priest and R-Truth, need to face the AAA World Tag Team Champions, War Raiders, in a winner-take-all match. But with Aldis out, will they continue to delay this match? And what about Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair? With Bliss warning Flair to cool off her obsession with Jade Cargill, will we see a match between them at SummerSlam? I think we need to see some more tension between them, as their dynamic has been a bit one-sided lately.
The Bloodline is another interesting development. With Jacob Fatu and Big Jim Uso back on SmackDown, will they hunt down Solo Sikoa? And what about Royce Keys? Will he return the favor to Solo? I think we need to see some more development between them, as their dynamic has been a bit one-sided lately.
Finn Balor's victory over Tama Tonga last week was a good step forward for him. But what's next for him? Will the Tongans be nice enough to let him move on? And what about Paige and Brie Bella vs. Fatal Influence? Will Nikki Bella return to support them? I think we need to see some more development between them, as their dynamic has been a bit one-sided lately.
Finally, where is Jordynne Grace? Her uncertain creative direction is a bit of a mystery. But I think we need to see more from her, as she has the potential to be a big star. So, there you have it, a lot to discuss and analyze on this week's episode of WWE SmackDown. With a lack of announced matches and a GM who's been out of action, the show feels like a ship without a captain. But with so many interesting developments and possibilities, I think we're in for a treat. So, tune in and see what happens!
