WWE Planning to Embarrass Top Star on Tonight’s SmackDown

Tonight’s edition of SmackDown features a match between Jimmy Uso and Drew McIntyre that emerged following their backstage altercation last week. The confrontation, which saw Jimmy deliver a Superkick to McIntyre, has set the stage for what could become a pivotal moment in their respective trajectories.

While conventional wisdom suggests McIntyre would dominate given his recent momentum heading into the Elimination Chamber, the actual outcome might defy expectations. Current storyline developments suggest the possibility of Jimmy securing an upset victory through unconventional means.

Wrestling observers note that a roll-up victory by Jimmy would create a logical narrative disruption in McIntyre’s confident march toward the premium live event in Toronto. Such an outcome would position Jimmy to absorb McIntyre’s inevitable post-match frustration, likely leading to a retaliatory assault fueled by his embarrassment.

This confrontation carries additional intrigue considering recent teases of a potential program between Jimmy Uso and current United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. WWE has subtly established groundwork for this championship scenario, which could intertwine with McIntyre’s own trajectory.

The potential intersection of these storylines presents an intriguing possibility where McIntyre’s frustration with an unexpected loss leads him toward a collision course with Jimmy, possibly with the United States Championship involved should Jimmy successfully challenge Nakamura in the coming weeks.

The timing of these developments aligns strategically with WWE’s WrestleMania season storytelling, where establishing meaningful midcard championship programs becomes particularly significant. A three-dimensional feud involving McIntyre, Jimmy Uso, and championship stakes would provide substantial material for the weeks leading to WWE’s showcase event.

While current indicators suggest increasing possibilities for these developments, they remain in the planning stages as WWE continues navigating multiple creative directions heading into their premium live events season.
