So are they basically admitting that giving Big E a solo run was a mistake and putting the New Day back together?

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I think they just had no follow up plans for Big E after his title run. I think he'll get more title shots in the future. Also workin' with Corbin is never a downgrade.

 

[Cwalker]

Obviously there was no plan for E after losing the title because he more than likely wasn’t losing until the day of the show.

Putting him back with Kofi for the time being is better than having him be stagnant until Brock loses the belt

Seth "Freakin" Rollins heads to SmackDown to deliver a personal message to Roman Reigns

Just 24 hours before their epic collision at the Royal Rumble for the Universal Title, Seth “Freakin” Rollins heads to SmackDown to deliver a message to The Head of the Table Roman Reigns.

After The Usos fired back at Seth Rollins in response to being banned from ringside in Saturday’s showdown, The Visionary elected to send his message in person, unlike Reigns.

With a history that’s crossed paths over the better part of a decade, what will Rollins have to say to his former Shield brother?

Ridge Holland returns alongside Sheamus for WWE Day 1 rematch with Ricochet & Cesaro

For the first time since having his nose broken at WWE Day 1, Ridge Holland joins forces with his mentor Sheamus in the hopes of getting his retribution on Ricochet and his partner Cesaro for the injury.

Holland made his way back to SmackDown last Friday night to cheer on The Celtic Warrior as he bested Ricochet with a massive Brogue Kick, welcoming his protégé back to the Blue Brand with a hug following the pinfall victory.

With The Swiss Cyborg now in his corner, will Ricochet & Cesaro spoil Holland’s first match back in nearly a month, or will the two bruisers toast to a victory?

Nice! I'm glad Seth is on the show again. Amped for some more build-up towards the match. I'm very hyped for it

Time for Cole to overexplain the Rumble rules

 

[DammitC]

- Will this be the last time we see the boring Roman Reigns hold the Universal title on Friday nights?
- Will Big E's reunion with Kofi Kingston tonight as part of the New Day be for 1 night only?
- Will Naomi FINALLY get her revenge on Sonya Deville tonight after all the tough obstacles and trouble she's faced over the past several months?
- Will Drew McIntyre be in any shape to compete tomorrow night for the Men's Rumble match?
- Will Xia Li end up competing tomorrow night for the Women's Rumble match?

Find out on the next edition of Smackdown Live. Stay tuned
