WWE SmackDown 5 Predictions: Samoa Joe Imposes His Will And Wins

Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe will clash tonight on WWE SmackDown Live for the final spot in the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, but what other big moments will take place on the show?

It’s been a hard road to qualifying for the Money in the Bank ladder match for Daniel Bryan, and WWE SmackDown Live’s top babyface could nail that final spot by defeating Samoa Joe tonight. After losing to Rusev due to the lasting effects of Big Cass’s beatdown at Backlash, Bryan won his second chance match against Jeff Hardy last week to face Joe tonight. But can he actually defeat the Samoan Submission Machine?

Carmella learned during her Royal MellaBration in London that her opponent for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank would be Asuka. The Princess of Staten Island’s endless gloating has to be getting on Asuka’s last nerves, especially since Asuka is just dying to get her hands on a championship on the main roster after being the most dominant wrestler in WWE as the NXT Women’s Champion.

Elsewhere in the women’s division, I hope we get some more build to the women’s ladder match. All four SmackDown Live participants are locked in, as Naomi and (shockingly) Lana qualified last week to join Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

Here are five predictions for tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
