Tonight’s SmackDown is coming live from The O2 in London, a legendary arena that has hosted several iconic WWE events. As the final stop on the European Tour, this episode holds major significance on the road to WrestleMania. With that in mind, fans can expect plenty of surprises to unfold throughout the night.
Tonight’s show features some big matches and moments, including a United States Title showdown between LA Knight and Braun Strowman, as well as a WWE Tag Team Championship match between Pretty Deadly and The Street Profits. Additionally, an anticipated contract signing between CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins is set to take place, making this a must-watch episode of SmackDown.
Therefore, let’s discuss 3 BOLD predictions for SmackDown 3/28:
3. WWE to add surprising stipulation in CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins
Last week, WWE officially confirmed that CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins will clash in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41. While the bout looks massive on paper, it lacks high stakes, which could diminish its significance. To raise the stakes and add more excitement, WWE might introduce a major stipulation to this high-profile Mania showdown.
Rumors suggest that WWE might turn the match into a #1 contender’s match for the World Title. The winner could earn a championship opportunity after WrestleMania, having secured a victory over two of the biggest stars in the industry. Additionally, there’s speculation that Paul Heyman’s allegiance could also be on the line, adding another layer of intrigue to this high-stakes showdown.
Some speculations even suggest that WWE might add the winner of this match to the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship match on Night 2 of WrestleMania. With so much uncertainty surrounding the stakes, there’s a strong chance that WWE will provide clarity by adding a major stipulation to the match on tonight’s SmackDown.
2. Jade Cargill to brutalize Naomi
Jade Cargill and Naomi have been caught up in a heated feud on SmackDown. Last week, The Glow played a crucial role in The Storm’s loss to Liv Morgan, handing the former AEW star her first-ever pinfall defeat in WWE.
Cargill was visibly dejected, but things didn’t end there. Naomi later attacked Cargill, making a bold statement and escalating their rivalry even further. With tensions running high, there’s a strong chance that the former Women’s Tag Team Champion will be out for revenge tonight. She could ambush Naomi backstage, launching a brutal assault to make a statement.
The beatdown could spill across the arena as payback for The Glow’s car attack and would be enough to send her to the hospital. To raise the stakes even further, Cargill might challenge the former TNA star to a high-profile match at WrestleMania.
1. Rey Fenix to make his WWE debut
For weeks, WWE has been airing vignettes teasing Rey Fenix’s arrival on SmackDown. According to Fightful, the high-flyer recently signed a multi-year contract with WWE following his AEW departure. Since then, excitement around the luchador has been building among the WWE Universe. With all the buzz surrounding his debut, WWE could finally pull the trigger and introduce him on tonight’s SmackDown.
Fenix could make a surprise appearance after LA Knight’s match on SmackDown, setting up a potential confrontation. Making his debut on an international stage would create massive buzz among the WWE Universe, setting the tone for something big. With WrestleMania 41 fast approaching, now could be the perfect time for the 34-year-old to step into WWE.
