WWE SmackDown Predictions: Bayley Will Reveal Her WrestleMania Opponent
By Mark Justice
4.) Rey Mysterio (w/Dominik Mysterio) vs. Otis (w/Chad Gable) [Grudge Match]
On last week’s WWE SmackDown, Dominik Mysterio defeated Chad Gable via pinfall whilst Rey Mysterio delivered a gnarly Meteora to Otis on the announce table. On Talking Smack, Rey warned Otis that a hurricane is coming his way after Otis crushed his ribs two weeks ago on SmackDown. It is very likely that the WWE will book Rey to battle Otis on this episode so that they can settle the score.
Otis and Gable already regained their momentum with a heel turn and a tag victory over the Mysterios. Now is the time for Mysterios to regain their momentum and remind the SmackDown Tag Team Division why their goal to win the SmackDown Tag Team Titles can come true, especially since a new babyface team is needed to dethrone Dirty Dawgs. Consequently, Rey will defeat Otis to get his revenge and use that momentum for a future title opportunity.
Prediction: Rey Mysterio
3.) Sasha Banks (w/Bianca Belair) vs. Nia Jax (w/Shayna Baszler & Reginald) [Grudge Match]
On last week’s WWE SmackDown, Bianca Belair defeated Shayna Baszler via pinfall with the Kiss of Death (KOD). Since Baszler and Nia Jax are scheduled to defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, it is very likely that the WWE will book Sasha Banks to battle Nia Jax on this week’s episode. Since Reginald was fired by Carmella, slapped by Banks, and recruited by Jax last week, he will be a distraction in this match.
Clearly, Reginald would be at ringside to cost Banks the victory and help Jax win. However, Banks should still get the win. When Banks are Belair are in a tag match against the tag team champions, there is not as much harm in losing to Baszler and Jax. However, when Banks or Belair are in singles matches, they should be winning on the road to their huge SmackDown Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 37.
Prediction: Sasha Banks
