The last episode of WWE SmackDown Live will take place in Louisville, Kentucky on Tuesday, May 7th.

One of the most important stories of the show is the new "Wildcard Rule" of the WWE, which means that some raw superstars will be allowed to appear in this week's SmackDown Live. [19659017] With the pay-per-view Money in the Bank in just two weeks, we can also expect the four SmackDown Live Superstars from the men's ladder match (Ali, Andrade, Finn Balor and Randy Orton), as well to the four Superstars of the women's ladder match (Bayley, Carmella, Ember Moon and Mandy Rose), to appear on the show.

Elsewhere, Shane McMahon will crown the SmackDown Tag Team's new champions after the Hardy Boyz were forced to relinquish their titles last week, while it is announced that Kevin Owens will release a response after being attacked by WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. ] The WWE has also announced two matches that will take place on the episode. Ali will face Andrade and Bayley, Carmella and Ember Moon against Charlotte Flair, Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose.

In this article, take a look at five possible scenarios and scenario developments we saw during the show.

No. 5 Shane McMahon & Elias Are Named Beacon Champions

As soon as the WWE issued a strangely worded statement that Shane McMahon would "crown" the new champions of the SmackDown Tag Team, we hypothesized that the figure of authority could retain a title for himself and hand the other to Elias.

The company published a follow-up article in which are listed some of the potential new champions, and it turns out that despite the fact that they never teamed, Shane & Elias were on the list.

Assuming that Shane attributes the titles to himself / someone else rather than announcing a one-night tournament, there are not many teams left on the blue mark that, point of view of the plot, could receive the titles in a realistic way without even winning a match.

Heavy Machinery, The Colons, Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura and The B-Team are the only remaining duos on SmackDown Live, and none of them are in a scenario as striking as Shane & Elias are currently.

The alternative option would be to surrender the titles to Raw. tag team (for example, The Viking Raiders or AOP?), but that would make the Superstar Shake-Up even wackier than in the last few weeks.
