Last night's "WWE SmackDown" had several memorable moments but arguably none bigger than at the finale of the show.

The Triple H era of WWE continued to deliver surprises on this week's SmackDown, as Drew McIntyre was blindsided by the returning Karrion Kross and Scarlett, and it looks as if they are targeting Roman Reigns and The Bloodline too. One pitch from USA evidently was to have an interim Title, though it isn't known if that was actually considered by WWE. Now, if Kross and McIntyre take one of Reigns' Titles, that doesn't actually help the USA and Raw situation any, unless WWE would have them take the Universal Championship and then move Reigns to Raw with the WWE Championship. Reigns has been on SmackDown for a while, so perhaps that is something they are considering.
Kross coming back to WWE may ultimately have long-term implications on the WWE Universal Title picture in the coming months of programming.
An internal USA pitch also brought up the idea of having an Interim World Title appear on Monday nights until something greater was set in stone; however, it’s unclear if the company ever considered the idea. The idea is to “insert Kross into the Drew McIntyre – Roman Reigns feud to be involved in a match” for one or both of Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Title belts. According to a new report from “ Fightful,” Kross coming back to WWE may ultimately have long-term implications on the WWE Universal Title picture in the coming months of programming.
