Next week's SmackDown Live comes to us live from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. After the Superstar Shake-up was done and dusted, WWE took the last week's episodes to build feuds for the Money in the Bank PPV.

We got to know that Kevin Owens is going to be next challenger to Kofi Kingston, while AJ Styles is going to be the next challenger to Seth Rollins. While we don't know who's going to be challenging for the United States Title and the Intercontinental Championship yet, but expect Vince McMahon to give us some clues about the same next week.

Also, we haven't seen much from the newly crowned SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boyz, and next week they might have new challengers. Last week on Tuesday, we also got to know that The IIconics aren't going to be Women's Tag Team Champions for a long time and it's inevitable that Kairi Sane and Asuka challenge them at MITB.

So, keeping all that in mind, here are the 3 Biggest Surprises that we could see on SmackDown Live next Tuesday:


#3 Andrade vs Aleister Black for the number 1 challenger to Finn Balor' Intercontinental Championship

This is something I mentioned above as well that we may see some development in the Intercontinental Title picture, and what I am sure off is that Andrade is going to be involved in it.

He was switched from Raw to SmackDown Live only for the sole purpose of competing against Finn Balor as he beat him on Raw before The Demon made his switch to SmackDown Live.

We saw that Andrade was beaten by Balor last week on SmackDown, and we also saw Aleister Black being drafted to SmackDown after breaking up from Ricochet.

With both superstars looking for fresh feuds, we may just end up seeing them square off for a shot at Finn Balor' Intercontinental Championship, but this is purely speculative as we may see one of them being involved in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

#2 Lars Sullivan joins Elias and Shane McMahon against Roman Reigns

All right! This is another speculative move but a possible one as Lars Sullivan is being built up as a monsterous heel and increasing the odds against Roman Reigns could benefit The Big Dog as a babyface in the long run.

I say that because Reigns got supported in his previous feud with The Authority some years back,, and this feud with Elias has that same look, so, we might see Reigns being cheered after all.

Also, Sullivan since his debut on the main roster, has been destroying every jobber for no reason and making him involved in some kind of feud that makes sense will only get him in the good books of the WWE Universe.

This can also set up the possibility of some Superstar coming to the aid of Reigns and that is where the unpredictability lies. But everything that is unpredictable is exciting.

#1 Finn Balor, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows reunite to form The Bullet Club

The possibility of the reformation of The Bullet Club was opened when Finn Balor joined the blue brand and this is something I personally want it to happen as it develops the possibility of forming a dominating three-man faction. The last ones we saw were The Wyatt Family and The Shield.

Also, we haven't seen Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson on a WWE screen very often, so they need to involved in something good and this is the best opportunity that WWE would get to make the veteran tag team relevant again.

We have already seen AJ Styles form The Club in his early days in WWE and its time we see Balor, Gallows and Anderson dominate the blue brand. They have all the potential to deliver the best segments every week on Tuesday nights, and I can imagine them being the best three-man faction for years to come.
