WWE SmackDown: 5 Predictions For September 12, 2017

On this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live, Vince McMahon will make a rare appearance to address Shane McMahon’s indefinite suspension, but there will be plenty more to watch in this jam-packed episode.

Last week’s edition of WWE SmackDown Live certainly delivered, and it wasn’t just about the excellent main event between Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura that featured one of the greatest RKO counters you’ll see. No, the real show-stealer was the confrontation between Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon, which included a “Did he really just say that?!” moment when Owens said that Shane’s family would have been better off if the SmackDown Live commissioner died in a helicopter crash (that, y’know, actually happened).

Needless to say, Shane wasn’t too happy, and the tension that existed between them since, uh, Day One boiled over. Shane lost his cool, beat up Owens, and then received notice from Vince McMahon, via General Manager Daniel Bryan, that he will be suspended indefinitely. And oh yeah, his father will be appearing tonight on SmackDown Live in Las Vegas, probably to announce an Owens-Shane bout at Hell in a Cell.

But that’s not all SmackDown Live‘s faithful fans will be getting this week. The Usos chose a street fight as their stipulation against The New Day, Natalya will have to face Naomi in a rematch from SummerSlam, and Tye Dillinger gets a shot at AJ Styles’s United States Championship.

Here are five predictions for what should be a “straight fire” episode of SmackDown.
