WWE SmackDown: Brock Lesnar

The Beast Incarnate has won the WWE Championship title last week and has the highest probability of joining the blue brand. After his victory against Kofi, Brock Lesnar was attacked by his UFC rival Cain Velasquez. WWE might use Cain in their storyline but there have been no confirmed reports about Velasquez’s full-time WWE entry. Brock Lesnar lost his Universal title against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam and it seems that the Beast has found his new title run.

WWE SmackDown: Sasha Banks

After a controversial defeat against Becky Lynch at Clash of Champions, it was assumed that Sasha Banks will get RAW Women’s championship belt around her waist at Hell In A Cell. However, Becky Lynch managed to retain her belt by defeating Sasha Banks again at Hell In A Cell. It seems that WWE will end the journey for Sasha Banks and ’The Boss’ might make a new start in SmackDown. Sasha Banks can come back at SmackDown and challenge  Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s belt.
