WWE SmackDown Preview: New Age Outlaws, Daniel Bryan/Wyatts, CM Punk, more

Chris Graham

smackdownThe Daniel Bryan-Wyatt Family saga took an interesting turn on Monday Night Raw. What will happen between Bryan and the Wyatts on Friday Night SmackDown?

WWE.com offered hints in its weekly SmackDown preview. Highlights from the preview:

  • It can be argued that daniel bryan has never had as much momentum as he does right now, and all eyes are focused intently on what The Beard will do next. So, how does Bryan follow up one of the most memorable Monday nights in recent history?
  • Once again at the center of controversy, will 5-time titleholders Road Dogg & Billy Gunn reassert themselves into the WWE Tag Team Championship picture, or will Cody & Goldust deliver some comeuppance for a battered and bruised CM Punk?
  • After being spurned by The New Age Outlaws during their tag match against The Shield Monday, CM Punk will certainly journey to SmackDown tonight with retribution on his mind. But just who might be locked and loaded in the crosshairs of The Best in the World?
  • The tag team division in WWE today is, arguably, the best it’s been in decades. With new, exciting and, frankly, dominant, duos emerging seemingly every week, WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Goldust have competition from all corners of the locker room. Chief among that competition has to be The Usos, who picked up two massive wins Monday, including a Raw main event Steel Cage Match victory over daniel bryan & Bray Wyatt.
  • WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton sickened the WWE Universe Monday on Raw, attacking John Cena’s father after The Viper suffered a shocking loss to a surging Kofi Kingston in one-on-one action. For his part, Cena was too concerned about his dad to seek retribution against WWE’s Apex Predator that night, but now that four days have passed, will the former World Heavyweight Champion seek out The Viper on SmackDown?
