WWE SmackDown 5 predictions: The real mystery revealed

2. Daniel Bryan Defeats Buddy Murphy

Last week on SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan vehemently expressed his disgust at Buddy Murphy’s bearing of false witness against Rowan. Bryan felt that Murphy hurt Rowan’s reputation by lying to Roman Reigns about Rowan being the culprit for Reigns’ forklift accident.

When Murphy had revealed Rowan to elicit this accident, his head was bashed against the wall by Reigns. Because of this compelled deception, Bryan and Rowan decided to force the truth out of Murphy by tossing him around backstage, and bashing his head against the wall in a similar manner until he admitted that he lied.

Murphy didn’t take too kindly to this treatment, and challenged Bryan to a match this week on SmackDown Live. Similar to how Murphy lost to Reigns in a show-stealing match last week on SmackDown Live, expect Murphy to lose again tonight to Bryan.

After defeating Murphy, Bryan could very well reveal the individual who attempted to murder Reigns.

1. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt Tried To Murder Roman Reigns

As for the boldest prediction of the night, Bryan could reveal that “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt murdered Roman Reigns. The best mysteries are the ones most twisted, and no WWE superstar is more twisted than Bray Wyatt.

Wyatt attacks his opponents randomly, and his history with Reigns in 2015 could explain this attack. Everything about Bray Wyatt is mystic, and his new alter ego, “The Fiend,” knows no boundaries as it pervades the landscape of the WWE.

Rowan’s original association with Wyatt in the Wyatt Family years ago probably explains why Bryan and Rowan have inside information on the culprit. In the short run, this could set up a ‘hell’ of a feud between Wyatt and Reigns.

In the long run, this could set Wyatt up for a future Universal Championship match against Reigns’ Shield brother, Seth Rollins. All Roman Reigns has to do is “let him in.”
