WWE SmackDown is on the road to Crown Jewel, but a big question ahead is whether The Street Profits will make it to the PLE as a tag team or standing on opposite sides. Fans and media members alike have long debated about the potential of this team going their separate ways. WWE has hinted at that possibility many times, but now it seems like a stronger possibility on the horizon. So much so, do not be surprised if Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford do not make it through the October 10 edition of WWE SmackDown.
Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. Street Profits [Tag Titles]
Wyatt Sicks will retain the tag titles here, as they already played enough mind games to ensure dissension in the Street Profits. Many fans would not want Street Profits to break up, but their gimmick has run stale lately, and it is time for a change. This has the same vibe as Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty. Just like Shawn Michaels had the potential to be the biggest singles star in this business, Montez Ford has that same potential. Unfortunately, just like Marty Jannetty, Angelo Dawkins would wither into the abyss, but he would still have the potential to be a solid mid-carder.
Prediction: Wyatt Sicks
Sami Zayn (c) vs. Oba Femi [U.S. Title Open Challenge]
Sami Zayn has been delivering banger after banger with his U.S. Title Open Challenges and has been stealing the show every week on SmackDown. He has helped showcase rising talent like Carmelo Hayes, Rey Fenix, J'Evon Evans, and Aleister Black. Another rising talent who has been heavily rumored to get called up from NXT and would benefit greatly from a rub by Sami Zayn would be Oba Femi. Oba Femi just lost the NXT World Title to Ricky Saints and has nothing else to do in NXT. Making a huge statement against Sami Zayn would be a great introduction for him to the blue brand.
Prediction: Sami Zayn
Stephanie Vaquer & Tiffany Stratton vs. Giulia & Kiana James [Tag Match]
Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton had a contract signing last week for the Crown Jewel Title that surprisingly ended peacefully between the combatants before Giulia and Kiana James interrupted the segment and decided to stick their noses where they don't belong. In order to teach them a lesson about minding their own business, it seems that Vaquer and Stratton will have to co-exist for 24 hours before their big Crown Jewel Title Match. Hopefully, there are seeds planted to add some heat to their match. Despite both being babyfaces, their egos could always clash as they find a way to win.
Prediction: Stephanie Vaquer & Tiffany Stratton
Aleister Black vs. Damian Priest [Last Man Standing Match]
This match will likely be the main event of the evening, as this feud has been built for weeks, and the added stipulation of a Last Man Standing Match signals the end of that feud and even seals the deal for a solid closer to the go-home show. Aleister Black already defeated Damian Priest, but Priest screwed Black in his U.S. Title Match against Sami Zayn last week. Black will get his revenge for that and hopefully get a rematch against Zayn for the belt at a future date, hopefully on PPV. Priest can team up with R-Truth again and target the tag titles as he regains momentum on the blue brand.
Prediction: Aleister Black
