WWE Smackdown Preview & Wrestling Predictions

WWE Smackdown 5/1 Show Preview

WWE Smackdown will host 2 of the final 3 Money In The Bank(MITB) qualifying matches Friday night. There will be one for the men and one for the women. Those 2 matches were originally supposed to be the final 2 but after Apollo Crews got injured on Raw Monday night, there will be another match to see who will take his place. The men’s MITB qualifying match will feature a Wrestlemania re-match. Smackdown will also feature MITB match participants, Daniel Bryan and Baron Corbin, facing off against each other.

Otis vs. Dolph Ziggler – Men’s Money In The Bank Qualifying Match

If someone would have told wrestling fans that Otis and Dolph Ziggler would be carrying one of Smackdown’s hottest feuds in the year 2020, most would not have believed them. But even after their match at Wrestlemania over the affection of Mandy Rose, their feud is still going strong. Otis defeated Ziggler at ‘Mania with an assist from Mandy Rose and Otis has been on cloud nine ever since as now he and Mandy seem to be a couple. 

Ziggler and Mandy’s now ex-best friend, Sonya Deville, think Mandy is making a big mistake being with Otis so they have tried weekly to ruin their relationship. The MITB qualifier match between Otis and Dolph Ziggler should be a good one since it could go either way. It’s actually a little shocking either of them are in a qualifier match since it seemed like the feud was heading towards a mixed tag team match at the MITB pay per view. But wrestling is at its best when it is not predictable so this match should deliver some solid entertainment while progressing the feud further.

Carmella vs. Mandy Rose – Women’s Money In The Bank Qualifying Match

As stated above, it’s a little shocking that Mandy Rose is being featured in a MITB qualifying match on Smackdown this week. Her feud with Ziggler and Deville is still going strong at the moment. Moving her into another program right now would seem illogical. But it could be that Rose’s popularity is at an all-time high right now and WWE wants to feature her the pay per view’s namesake match.

Carmella has been irrelevant for a little while now on Smackdown so this match, regardless of the outcome, should help her stock a little bit. Smackdown is currently working with a thin roster so showing up is good in WWE’s eyes. This is another match that could go either way due to ongoing storylines. Fans shouldn’t rule out an appearance by Sonya Deville in attempt to cost Mandy her spot in the MITB match.
