The 11/08 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will be aired live from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, United States. This fallout episode of SmackDown will see many top stars appearing following the Crown Jewel 2024 PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of the WWE SmackDown event in New York, let us take a look at the top four predictions for this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
4. Randy Orton gets suspended
‘The Viper’ Randy Orton is involved in a savage feud with his former friend Kevin Owens. The two were scheduled for a grudge match at the Crown Jewel PLE in Riyadh. However, the match never officially began as the two stars kept battering each other before the match began officially.
Amid the in-ring brawl, WWE security along with Raw & SmackDown GM, Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis rushed to the arena to contain the chaos. However, the tensions were so high that they failed to get the situation under control.
The situation got worse for Raw GM Adam Pearce as he tried to calm Orton down but The Viper landed a devastating RKO flatlining the general manager. Due to Orton’s actions, there is a possibility that the WWE might suspend him this week for the attack on a WWE official.

3. Nia Jax’s next opponent is Tiffany Stratton
WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax suffered defeat at the hands of Liv Morgan in the ‘Champion vs Champion’ match for the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship. During the match MITB 2024 winner and Jax’s friend Tiffany Stratton walked in and was looking to cash in the MITB contract.
This situation angered Jax as it has become a continuous thing for her to worry about Tiffany cashing in. Following her defeat the champion might confront Stratton which could lead to their fallout and a potential matchup in the future.
The fallout could also lead to Tiffany cashing in her MITB contract anytime as she had made her intentions clear multiple times and a rift between the two would only make her rush the decision.

2. Kevin Owens attacks Cody Rhodes
The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is scheduled to address the WWE universe on this week’s episode following his victory against Gunther at Crown Jewel PLE. On the other hand, his former friend who he had a recent fallout with decimated Randy Orton during their grudge match at the Crown Jewel PLE.
After taking care of Orton, Kevin Owens might set his sights on the Undisputed Champion. Owens attacked Rhodes after he teamed up with Owens’ fierce rival Roman Reigns at the Bad Blood PLE. Owens attacked Rhodes after the Bad Blood PLE in the parking lot.
The feud was put on hold due to Rhodes’ scheduled match with Gunther and Owens’ grudge match with Orton at the aforementioned Saudi PLE. However, post the Saudi PLE Owens might want to settle the dispute with Rhodes and teach him a lesson about ‘friendship’.
1. Roman Reigns accidentally attacks Sami Zayn
Roman Reigns is set to appear on this week’s episode of the Blue brand to address his recent loss at the hands of The Bloodline at the Crown Jewel 2024 PLE. Jey Uso on the other hand has invited Sami Zayn on this week’s episode to ‘hash the beef’ with Reigns.
Zayn accidentally kicked Reigns during the post-match brawl between the rogue Bloodline and the OG Bloodline. Zayn will attempt to convince The OTC that he was aiming for Sikoa and unintentionally kicked Reigns and Sikoa ducked underneath.
There is a potential that Solo Sikoa and faction will attack Reigns during his address to the WWE universe. Sikoa might either wait for Zayn and The Usos to appear or attack Reigns when he is alone in the ring. This sequence might lead to Zayn and The Usos appearing to aid The OTC.
There is a possibility that the mishap at Crown Jewel might repeat itself only this time Zayn will be the target and Reigns will be the aggressor. Reigns might accidentally hit a spear on The Honorary Uce during the brawl.
