Nightmare: After beating The New Day on next week's SmackDown and thus securing themselves a shot at the SmackDown Tag Titles at SummerSlam, The Bar are mauled by The Bludgeon Brothers.

Chances Of It Coming True: Unfortunately, they're pretty high.

WWE aren't done with this Bludgeon Bros push just yet, and they'd gain credibility by beating a team like Sheamus and Cesaro cleanly. The Bar's win over The Usos on SmackDown suggests they're being primed to play the role of sacrificial lambs in Brooklyn.

The way they've been booked until recently also hints that creative might be ready to move on from The Bar as a full-time tag too. Since moving brands during April's Superstar Shakeup, the pair have barely been used. Unless they shock Harper and Rowan at SummerSlam, Sheamus and Cesaro are a stick on to split later this year.
