WWE SmackDown: What to expect?

Brock Lesnar-Cain Velasquez feud

The Mexican MMA Superstar has recently left the UFC and signed a new deal with the WWE. However, Cain Velasquez is not a full-time wrestler yet and his name has not been added in the roster. This opens up his opportunity to get inside SmackDown any time and bless the WWE fans by taking his feud with Brock Lesnar further. Cain entered the ring and attacked Brock Lesnar on FOX's SmackDown debut and the fans can expect something similar this Friday Night as well.

The Miz vs Shinsuke Nakamura

The brawl between the Intercontinental champion Shinsuke Nakamura and The Miz have been intense so far. The WWE fans are loving the feud and the entry of Miz on SmackDown is surely going to extend it. The former Intercontinental Champion Miz feels that he deserves the belt more than anyone and he can go to any extent to get it back around his waist. It won't be shocking if Miz enters the ring and tries to develop a feud with the current Intercontinental Champion Nakamura in the upcoming episode.
