4 Predictions for WWE SmackDown Live: January 10, 2017

Dolph Ziggler vs. Kalisto

Much to the pleasure of the WWE Universe last week, Dolph Ziggler has now turned heel on SmackDown Live. After a match-up with Baron Corbin, Ziggler had lost yet again. Corbin would continue his attack on the fallen Ziggler. Kalisto, who recently had a feud with the Lone Wolf, came out to aid Ziggler. Kalisto was soon hit with a super kick from the Show Off, solidifying his heel status. Ziggler claimed he didn’t need any help as he screamed at Kalisto while he lay on the canvas.

Ziggler had altercations with both Kalisto and Apollo Crews last week. I expect Kalisto and Ziggler to fight this week after what happened after the match on Tuesday. I believe Ziggler will defeat Kalisto and continue to inflict pain on him after the match. This is where Crews will come in to defend the Luchador. This will begin the rivalry between him and Ziggler. Involving Crews in a feud with Ziggler will help to build his name on SmackDown. He has not made much of an impact for team blue thus far since the brand split. This will hopefully get his name on the board.
