Why You Can't Miss Smackdown | July 5, 2013

What does CM Punk have planned for the blue brand?

As announced on Raw, CM Punk will make a rare appearance on SmackDown tonight, bringing along his trademark vitriol. But at whom will he direct it?
These days, that seems to be the million-dollar question, as The Straight Edge Superstar has had more than a few issues with longtime friend and confidante, Paul Heyman. Coming off Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel’s covert tag-in on Raw, Punk is none too happy with Heyman's guys these days ... not to mention the mad scientist himself.

Speaking of Heyman’s clients … Brock Lesnar is still out there, lurking somewhere in the distance after his shocking F-5 on Punk last month on Raw. And if there’s one thing we know about Punk, it's that he has a long memory.
So, what does "The Best in the World" have planned for the WWE Universe on the blue brand? Find out tonight at 8/7 CT, only on Syfy!

Can Christian de-fang The Viper?

With just nine days to go before the Money in the Bank All-Stars Ladder Match, Captain Charisma will look to tame The Viper tonight on SmackDown.
Christian has been on a roll since his return, scoring an impressive WWE Main Event victory over an increasingly aggressive Damien Sandow, in addition to helping The Usos drop the mighty Shield in six-man tag action.

However, Randy Orton has stepped up his game to a whole new level as well, coming off a series of unforgettable matches against Daniel Bryan. Plus, who could forget the classic contests between Orton and Christian, which resulted in the World Heavyweight Title changing hands several times throughout the summer of 2011?
When the two ring veterans collide on SmackDown, the WWE Universe knows they’ll get a great show. But who will come out on top, and build All-Star momentum towards Money in the Bank?

Will AJ make fireworks in a heated Divas rematch?

Last Monday on Raw, Kaitlyn dropped Alicia Fox in a competitive bout where the Hyrbrid Diva showed just how quickly her powerful spear can turn a match around. Yet Kaitlyn had zero time to celebrate her victory, as Divas Champion AJ Lee arrived and aimed to again embarrass her Money in the Bank challenger, this time by showing a doctored “modeling” photo of the former titleholder.
If history has taught us anything, though, Kaitlyn will fire back at AJ in the near future, and certainly ahead of their Money in the Bank battle. As their psychological game continues to escalate week after week, will AJ interfere in Kaitlyn’s rematch against Alicia Fox? Or will Kaitlyn manage to get inside her former friend’s cranium, and gain the advantage heading into the July 14 pay-per-view? Find out tonight, only on Syfy.

Will Ziggler steal Del Rio’s show?

It has been a series of back-and-forth battles between World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio and his Money in the Bank challenger, Dolph Ziggler, ever since Del Rio dethroned The Showoff at WWE Payback. It has also been a succession of one-upmanship between the two Superstars, as Ziggler crashed Del Rio’s championship fiesta last week on SmackDown, then provided the perfect distraction during Del Rio’s Champion vs. Champion match with John Cena on Raw.

With their Money in the Bank title showdown looming, it’s a safe bet that these two will cross paths again tonight, and Del Rio will be looking for retribution. But will The Showoff once again get the last laugh?

Can The Usos regain the momentum in their war against The Shield?

The Usos have tasted both success and frustration throughout their continuing battle against The Shield, beating them in six-man tag action on SmackDown, only to lose a massive tag team match to the rogue trio Monday on Raw.

Thanks to their high-octane ring style, though, the maximum velocity brothers possess the ability to flip the momentum switch right back to their side on any given night. And there’s no better way to take back that momentum than to score a tandem victory over Team Rhodes Scholars on SmackDown tonight. Can The Usos get rolling again? Find out tonight on Syfy!
