WWE SmackDown predictions: Long live The Big Dog

1. Roman Reigns Challenges Daniel Bryan and Rowan to a Handicap Match At Clash of Champions

Last week, a Rowan doppelganger was revealed to be the individual who actually tried to murder Roman Reigns. Some found this revelation to be disappointing; others found it to be perplexing for many questions arise from this so-called mystery.

Did Daniel Bryan really exonerate Rowan last week on SmackDown Live when he revealed said individual? Did this revealed individual really attack Reigns on both the forklift incident as well as the car accident? Was Buddy Murphy really lying to Reigns about seeing Rowan at the scene of the crime? Or is this entire series of events a ploy to swerve Roman Reigns and the WWE fanbase into thinking that Daniel Bryan and Rowan weren’t behind these attacks all along?

When there’s problems or issues in the WWE, they get solved in the ring. Reigns will probably feel that Bryan and Rowan are messing with him, and challenge them to a handicap match at Clash of Champions.

Buddy Murphy, who was very much involved in this storyline, could be added to this match to make it a tag team match, but Reigns may find it hard to trust anyone at this point.

If we’re lucky, the true attacker may be revealed at Clash of Champions if he/she helps Bryan and Rowan defeat Reigns.

Maybe it’s Luke Harper because of his association with Rowan. Maybe it’s “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt because of his sadistic mind set. Maybe it’s Sheamus since he hasn’t returned to in-ring action yet, and also has an orange beard. Maybe it’s Liv Morgan since she promised she would “be real” when she returns to SmackDown Live. Maybe it’s Vince McMahon because he booked this genius storyline.

Only time will tell, but let’s hope The Big Dog’s livelihood remains intact until this mystery is fully fathomed.
