WWE Champion AJ Styles has a lot to complain about as he steps inside the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, for tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live. Why would anyone complain if they’re the WWE Champion? Well, for one, he’ll have to face off against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in a two-on-one handicap match at the Royal Rumble, per the orders of SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan. Sucks to be Styles.
One of the biggest matches for tonight comes from the women’s division. Becky Lynch returns to action for the first time since she was jumped backstage by The Riott Squad. Tonight, she’ll be able to enact a measure of revenge as she battles Ruby Riott in a one-on-one encounter. The winner of this match will add momentum to their side on the way to the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match in less than three weeks.
The Ascension’s Konnor and Viktor are also making their in-ring return tonight. The duo has mainly appeared in backstage comedy skits alongside their best friends Breezango. On the December 26 edition of SmackDown Live, The Bludgeon Brothers decimated Breezango triggering The Ascension to storm the ring and save their friends. Tonight, The Ascension will set up to The Bludgeon in a traditional tag team match.
In the final match of the first round for the vacant WWE United States Championship, Mojo Rawley will battle his former tag team partner Zack Ryder. Who will advance to the semi-finals tonight? Rawley and Ryder went from Hype Bros to Hype Foes!
