43-year-old WWE Superstar to finally get his title shot on SmackDown and win his first title? Potential explored

Tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown is just hours away, and fans eagerly anticipate what the creative team has in store for them. The show is expected to feature the finals of John Cena’s Last Time Is Now Tournament and many more. In a shocking twist, a 43-year-old superstar might earn a title shot tonight and may even have the chance to win his first championship.

Tama Tonga is the name in question. He made his return on the go-home edition of the blue brand show before Crown Jewel: Perth as the last member of Solo Sikoa’a MFT, attacking Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura, who answered Sami’s United States open challenge.

Recently, the OG Bloodline member has revealed his interest in dethroning Ilja Dragunov for the United States Championship. Dragunov defeated Sami Zayn on the October 17 episode of Friday Night SmackDown to win the title and has proven to be a fighting champion by always issuing an open challenge for the gold every week.

With a plethora of possibilities open on tonight’s flagship show, Tama Tonga might answer Ilja Dragunov’s US Title open challenge. If this happens, with the MFT standing at ringside as support, they could pull off a major distraction during the match and help the 43-year-old win his first championship on the main roster.

As for now, this angle is speculative, and fans will have to wait until tonight’s episode of SmackDown to see if it comes to fruition.

Roman Reigns could confront Cody Rhodes on SmackDown

After losing in this year’s Men’s WarGames Match, Cody Rhodes faced off with Roman Reigns, and the incident has fueled theories among the wrestling community and fans online.

The OTC cut a promo on the go-home edition of RAW ahead of Survivor Series. During this promo, he engaged in a back-and-forth exchange with CM Punk and Cody before finally revealing that he will be coming after any of the world championships. Given his face-off with The American Nightmare in San Diego, many are now suggesting that he might aim for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

There is a possibility that Roman Reigns might appear on tonight’s episode of SmackDown to confront Cody Rhodes. If this happens, it could set the stage for a blockbuster match for the Undisputed WWE Championship leading into WrestleMania 42.

However, while this angle might sound convincing, it is hypothetical, and nothing has been confirmed. It will be interesting to see what the creative has in store for the superstars.
