SmackDown Five-Point Preview: May 3, 2013
Will Kane be able to get ‘justice’ for The Undertaker?
It’s a lesson Superstars have learned the hard way for decades: You simply don’t cross the Brothers of Destruction without the likelihood of some serious comeuppance. But The Shield is clearly refusing to heed that advice.
Watch the Brothers of Destruction in action | Why is The Shield's so successful?
The emboldened trio of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns shocked the WWE Universe when they decimated The Deadman on SmackDown, planting the legendary Superstar with an unforgettable Triple Powerbomb through the announce table. Then, on Raw, The Shield had lots to say and showed no signs of backing down to WWE Champion John Cena & WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No, scoring a huge victory as Raw went off the air.
The fact remains that blood is thicker than words, however, and now, The Phenom’s brother Kane looks for vengeance against Dean Ambrose, tonight at 8/7 CT, only on SmackDown!
Has Ryback made a huge mistake?
The intense Ryback seems completely focused on dethroning WWE Champion John Cena at Extreme Rules — as he left the Cenation leader to face The Shield alone on Raw. But has his upcoming challenge clouded his judgment?
Considering the magnitude of the pay-per-view WWE Title match, is it wise that “The Human Wrecking Ball” is now turning his attention to the multi-skilled WWE Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan on tonight on SmackDown? Despite Ryback’s power game, the question becomes: Is the submission specialist capable of putting a serious monkey wrench the intimidating No. 1 contender’s momentum? YES! YES! YES!
Can Sheamus surpass Mark Henry’s strength?
How do you beat The World’s Strongest Man in a test of strength? Well, we have no idea, but Sheamus is going to have to come up with an answer to that particular quandary tonight, when he squares off against Mark Henry in an Arm Wrestling Contest.
Watch: WWE showdowns of strength | Henry feats of strength
Monday on Raw, Sheamus’ solution was to turn their Tug-O-War into a Brogue Kick–athon, and leveling his massive adversary with the business end of his boot. Will the irate Henry finally prove his superior strength? Or will Celtic-might power though?
Can Ricardo Rodriguez silence Zeb Colter?
Coming off his epic Triple Threat Match victory over Zeb Colter and Big E Langston Monday on Raw — which allowed Alberto Del Rio to select the Ladder Match stipulation for the Triple Threat World Title Match at Extreme Rules — Ricardo Rodriguez heads into tonight’s SmackDown with the wind at his back to face Jack Swagger’s outspoken “Founding Father” one-on-one.
Can Ricardo once again silence — and dare we say, even humble — Colter tonight on the blue brand?
Is Randy Orton more venomous than ever?
With each passing week, WWE’s Apex Predator looks more and more vicious. And after dismantling Cody Rhodes with two RKOs on Raw, The Viper carries his ever-increasing mean streak into a showdown tonight with the grandson of a plumber’s best friend Damien Sandow.
