Hey everyone! Hope all is well I am back for another Top 5 article, this time featuring the Top 5 Feuds that need to happen on Smackdown now the WWE Draft rosters are official. You might have caught my similar article about Monday Night Raw and I hope this one doesn’t disappoint. Smackdown had an exciting draft and their mid-card intrigues the hell out of me. The likes of Austin Theory, LA Knight, Grayson Waller, Lashley, The LWO, and Edge. WOW! I only say mid-card because we know The Bloodline is going to hold down the main event scene for the foreseeable future and rightfully so. OK, enough talk let’s get to the 5 feuds we MUST have on the newly revamped Friday Night Smackdown.
5. LWO vs The Usos (and Bloodline, depending on how The Bloodline story goes)
We might be getting this feud as we speak since they do have a match this week on Smackdown but LWO vs Uso’s we are huge for all involved. I understand The Bloodline is in deep with Roman and Uso’s vs Roman/Solo might be the plan for Summerslam but The LWO being looped into ANY TV time with The Bloodline would do wonders for the group. The LWO has been impressive, even though they do lose a lot of matches but Vega showed out at Backlash and overall the LWO had a great showing at the event. I hope this Friday begins the feud even though I doubt it will but I hope WWE has plans for this feud down the road because it would be a very entertaining feud and beneficial for both groups and us as wrestling fans.
4. Austin Theory vs LA Knight vs Grayson Waller
I couldn’t pick just one, I just couldn’t. Grayson Waller and LA Knight are SUPERSTARS! Austin Theory is a SUPERSTAR! This feud would fire on so many levels. The history between Waller and Knight would make sense to have them feud again if they both wanted to go after the US Championship currently possessed by Austin Theory. So, that’s why I made it a triple threat. The mid-card is so stacked on Smackdown but I expect Waller and Knight to stand head and shoulders above the rest and a US Championship run for either guy would be well deserved. Just imagining the matches and promos these three guys could have gives me goosebumps. I really hope we get a feud between these three guys either at once or individually because it would be best for business for sure.
3. Karrion Kross and Scarlett vs Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss
Yes, I’m aware Bray and Alexa are both off TV right now and we have no idea when they’ll be back. But they will be back and this feud is too obvious not to happen. They have all spoken out in interviews and on podcasts that they’d all welcome this feud so do it. Make Bray a part of Smackdown or just keep him as a free agent and have him feud with top stars on each show like they use Brock. The entrances and promos alone would be amazing leading up to matches between all four teamed up, Bray vs Kross or Alexa vs Scarlett. With the creative mind of Bray, I have no doubt this feud would be must-see TV and deliver on every level.
2. Charlotte Flair vs Bianca Belair
Anyone who watches my podcast RSH (every Wednesday at 630 ET on the RSH Twitter) knows how I feel about Charlotte Flair. For those of you that don’t its not very nice. But, I’m not an idiot and I know this is a huge feud and it has to happen. Bianca has always said she wanted to take down The Four Horsewomen and she already has beaten Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Becky Lynch respectively. Bianca has accomplished a lot in WWE so far, just not a win over Charlotte. I’d have Charlotte win the belt and have Bianca be chasing it until the next Wrestlemania. Bianca is a better title chaser than a title holder IMO. Then have Bianca beat Charlotte at the grandest stage cementing her legacy as one of the very best. Just a thought, but you have to agree this would be a damn good story to be told.
1. Roman Reigns vs Solo Sikoa
This one might be for WAY down the road but I have always believed Solo should be the one that dethrones Roman. Whether you agree or not you gotta admit it’d be damn interesting. The way the story is going now looks like The Usos cost Roman/Solo at Night of Champions leading to a match between The Usos and Solo/Roman at Summerslam but what if Solo takes the pin at Summerslam and ends up on the bad side of The Tribal Chief? Solo backs down to no one and has been booked like an absolute badass. This would be absolute cinema. The family member who Roman has taken under his wing turns becomes the one to dethrone him and reunite with The Usos. If done right it can be absolute magic. I firmly believe this feud is inevitable at some point but I’m not as sure about Solo dethroning Roman, even though that’s what I’d do. But let’s all pray we get this feud down the line because it would be absolute money.
