WWE SmackDown Predictions (4/17/2020): Tamina beats Sasha Banks

2.) Tamina Defeats Sasha Banks to Become #1 Contender for Bayley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship

Bayley has defeated every superstar on SmackDown, except Tamina and Sasha Banks. In what was a fight-or-flight response, she threw Sasha Banks under the bus by having her take on Tamina for this week’s SmackDown.

Tamina should defeat Sasha Banks to become to set up a championship match against Bayley at WWE MITB 2020. This victory will permit Sasha Banks to focus on qualifying for the Women’s MITB Ladder Match, becoming Mrs. MITB, and cashing in on her best friend after Bayley retains the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Tamina at WWE MITB 2020.

1.) The Miz Retains The SmackDown Tag Team Championships

At WrestleMania 36, John Morrison retained the SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Jimmy Uso and Kofi Kingston in a Ladder Match. Now is The Miz’s turn to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Jey Uso and Big E in a triple threat match.

Due to dire circumstances, the tag team championships are being defended in singles matches. However, everything should go back to normal come WWE MITB 2020 because one of two things could happen:

(1) Dirt Sheet (c) vs. The Usos vs. The New Day [SmackDown Tag Team Championships]

(2) Dirt Sheet (c) vs. Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak [SmackDown Tag Team Championships]

Since the WWE fans did not receive the former triple threat tag team championship match at WrestleMania 36 as planned, WWE could very likely give that match to them at WWE MITB 2020.

However, if WWE decides to take a new path with the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak would be prime candidates for The Miz and Morrison at WWE MITB 2020 if they are indeed out of the Intercontinental Championship picture with Sami Zayn.

Will Daniel Bryan and The Miz cross paths again? Yes!
