7 WWE Superstars who could cost Solo Sikoa and The MFT on SmackDown

The Solo Sikoa-led MFT has been wreaking havoc on WWE SmackDown since regrouping and embracing a more sinister side. The list of enemies has grown long for the heel faction. On the upcoming episode of the blue brand's show, they are set to battle a babyface team in a five-on-five traditional match.

The opposing side consists of Sami Zayn, Rey Fenix, Shinsuke Nakamura, and The Motor City Machine Guns. That said, the Sikoa-led faction may have a hard time on Friday, as these seven WWE Superstars could cost them the match:

#7. WWE United States Champion Ilja Dragunov

Ilja Dragunov has previously suffered the wrath of the MFT. The Mad Dragon was attacked by the heel group immediately after winning the United States Championship against Sami Zayn last month.

To exact revenge on the faction and to help out the babyface team, the Russian star could interfere in the five-on-five match and cost the Sikoa-led stable.

#6. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler returned on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW as Solo Sikoa's surprise opponent in the first round of the Last Time is Now Tournament. While The Showoff lost the bout, his performance was praised by everyone.

Ziggler's appearance was reportedly a one-time thing, but given the reaction he received from the WWE Universe, he could extend his stay and appear on SmackDown. To avenge his loss on Monday, the veteran could cost Sikoa and his faction the five-on-five bout against the babyface team.

#5, #4, #3, #2, #1. The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross)

The MFT has teased a feud with The Wyatt Sicks, but it has been put on hold due to Uncle Howdy's recent absence. However, it's only a matter of time before the eerie faction puts Solo Sikoa and Co. on notice once again, resuming their rivalry.

It could happen as soon as this week's SmackDown, as the Uncle Howdy-led faction could emerge to cost The MFT their five-on-five match against the babyface alliance.

With multiple possibilities open, it will be interesting to see how the traditional five-on-five match plays out on WWE SmackDown.
