WWE is hyping the following heading into tonight’s Smackdown, and as always be sure to join WZ tonight at 8pm EST for live coverage of the show!
On if Dean Ambrose will decide to annihilate James Ellsworth:
Last week on SmackDown, James Ellsworth lost control and superkicked WWE World Champion AJ Styles, inadvertently costing Dean Ambrose a WWE World Title opportunity in the process.
So what now? Ellsworth publically apologized for his actions on WWE Talking Smack and on social media. At this point, there is no indication as to whether he has talked to Ambrose personally, but he clearly regrets his actions. Will that be enough to smooth things over? When one considers the unpredictable nature of The Lunatic Fringe on his best days, Ellsworth could be in some very big trouble. Find out how much tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.
Wow! In the midst of Kane’s No Disqualification Match against Bray Wyatt one week ago, Randy Orton sent shockwaves through Team Blue when he emerged to hit The Demon with an RKO. Pressed as to why he did what he did, The Viper said simply, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”
Does that mean that WWE’s Apex Predator has actually decided to join The Wyatt Family? If it does, Bray Wyatt seemed as surprised as anyone to know it.
In any event, the possibly itself has raised a ton of questions. For instance, if Orton has joined The Wyatts, is there anything that can stop The New Face of Fear from finally taking over SmackDown LIVE? Could The Viper be simply playing Wyatt in order to unleash the ultimate mind game on his established adversary? What sort of Hell is Kane prepared to unleash in response to the surprise attack? And will there be anything left of the blue brand when he does?
