WWE SmackDown Predictions: Seth Rollins Will Anoint Daniel Bryan

4.) Bayley vs. Liv Morgan [Grudge Match]

On last week’s WWE SmackDown, Bayley defeated Ruby Riott thanks to distractions from Billie Kay at ringside. It would make sense for Bayley to battle Liv Morgan on this week’s episode. Bayley will very likely defeat Liv Morgan due to more distractions from Kay. Bayley seems to be regaining momentum after losing to Belair. She won’t be in the title picture for the time being, so these matches should help maintain her credibility in the SmackDown Women’s Division.

Billie Kay seems to be attracted to winners in her pursuit to show other wrestlers her resume. If Billie Kay is convincing enough, she could try to form a tag team with Bayley. However, her chances of joining forces with Bayley are probably just as low as her chances of joining forces with the Riott Squad. Clearly, her weekly applications are merely booked for comedic relief and could lead to something iconic on the road to WrestleMania.

Prediction: Bayley

3.) Cesaro vs. Shinsuke Nakamura [Grudge Match]

On last week’s WWE SmackDown, Cesaro defeated Daniel Bryan. Ever since Cesaro signed a new contract, he has been winning his matches consistently. This recent momentum has teased the buzz for an actual singles push. However, this buzz just seems too good to be true. Another superstar who has been subject to the farcical idea of a singles push is Nakamura, who garnered attention after delivering a star-making performance in a Universal Title #1C Gauntlet match.

Cesaro and Nakamura are both former tag team partners of the Artist Collective who have teased tension in recent weeks and could collide in the squared circle to prove who is the very best. It is expected that they will go to war and end the match in a draw in the form of double countout, double pinfall, or double disqualification. However, their goal is to move their war up the ladder to the Universal Championship and would be ideal candidates for the Elimination Chamber.

Prediction: Tie
