Bengaluru, Feb 20: Last week, Smackdown Live ended in a cryptic way when Randy Orton denied facing Bray Wyatt in the main event of Wrestlemania to hint that someone new might be given the chance.
Daniel Bryan announced a number one contender's battle royal for the WWE championship, this week.
The match will take place in the main event and will declare a new contender, for sure. However, this contender will not face Wyatt for the championship at Wrestlemania since the planned match between Orton and Wyatt is still intact.
Luke Harper is the supposed name who will be the winner of this week's battle royal to create an interesting feud between him and his mentor.
They will be involved in a championship match later this month, supposedly.
Plus, we will be witnessing a Falls Count Anywhere match on Smackdown between Nikki Bella and Natalya after they are unable to settle their differences in singles encounters. It was much needed for them.
These two are likely to be involved in a second altercation during this match at backstage, once again after Elimination Chamber.
Later their respective life-partner that is John Cena and The Miz will join the foray to set up the mixed tag team match at Wrestlemania. The backstage happening will also cost Nikki the match against Natalya.

There might be a championship match on this week's Smackdown after the verbal confrontation that Alexa Bliss and Naomi had last week.
The former champion gave the current one a notice of one week due to the injury suffered from Elimination Chamber.
As per the rumour mill, the match would be happening, this week and Naomi might get the clean pin to finish the rivalry between these two. She will be heading to her hometown of Orlando, Florida as the champion.
