#SDLive Discussion Thread: Styles to battle Ellsworth in a WWE Title Match as part of WWE Week

[Kross Rhodes]

Battle Royal announced to determine SmackDown Tag Team Champion No. 1 contenders
WWE Week rolls through SmackDown LIVE with a high-stakes Battle Royal to determine The Wyatt's No. 1 contenders. Plus, James Ellsworth looks to unseat "The Champ that Runs the Camp." But will Dean Ambrose have something about it?

WWE Week will feature Styles vs. Ellsworth in a WWE Championship Match
Tonight at 8/7 C, James Ellsworth challenges AJ Styles for the WWE Title as part of WWE Week on USA Network. In addition to dealing with the pressures of such a high-stakes contest and the fact that The Phenomenal One will be out to absolutely destroy him, Ellsworth must also prepare himself for the little matter of a lunatic on the loose, thirsty for retribution.

Last week, Ellsworth cost Dean Ambrose both the WWE Championship at WWE TLC and the Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown LIVE. So perhaps the question isn’t whether or not the chinless Superstar will win the title, but who will get their hands on him first? Then again, Ellsworth has defied the odds before. (He’s unbeaten against the champion so far.) Is there actually a chance that he will find a way to capture WWE’s top prize?

Battle Royal tonight to determine SmackDown Tag Team Champion No. 1 contenders
WWE.com has learned tonight’s SmackDown LIVE will feature an explosive Tag Team Battle Royal to determine the new No. 1 contenders to SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Wyatt Family.

The competing tandems will include former titleholders Heath Slater & Rhyno, American Alpha, The Hype Bros, Breezango, The Vaudevillains, The Ascension and The Usos.

Who will rise above the all-out free-for-all to capture a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Is Nikki out to get Natalya or Carmella?
Last week, following Carmella’s claims that Natalya had attacked Nikki Bella at Survivor Series, a stone-faced Nikki didn’t seem the least bit receptive to Natalya’s denial. Later on Talking Smack, The Princess of Staten Island further explained her side of things and added more fuel to the fire.

Which one’s lying: Carmella or Natalya? And will Fearless Nikki take it upon herself to find out the answer with whatever force necessary?

Who will look to unseat The Miz?
As Curt Hawkins might say, it’s time to face the facts: The Miz walked out of Survivor Series, WWE TLC and last week’s SmackDown LIVE with the Intercontinental Title still securely around his waist.

So who will be the next Superstar to try and knock The A-Lister into a B-List column? As SmackDown LIVE is the land of opportunity, the field has never been more wide open. Certainly Baron Corbin comes to mind, considering his success in recent brutal showdowns against Kalisto. Perhaps Luke Harper will look to conquer Miz and bring even more championship gold into the Wyatt Family fold. Or, in light of James Ellsworth’s interference last week, will Dean Ambrose vie for another crack at the illustrious title?

Whoever decides to step up, one thing is certain: The Miz continues to prove that he is a lot better at winning than everybody thinks he is, and knocking him off the mountaintop will not be a small task for any Superstar.

WWE Week rolls on with SmackDown LIVE tonight at 8/7 C, on USA Network.

I'm lookin' forward to see what they do with Miz tonight.

Who's next in line for Miz and The Wyatt Family. I'm hoping we finally get to see that Alpha rise to power.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Ambrose & KANE to win the battle royal.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Ambrose & KANE to win the battle royal.

What about Ambrose and Ellsworth? Those wacky kids can make it.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Alpha better actually win but I have a strong feeling WWE is gonna fuck that up.

 

[Cwalker]

Ok now it's time for No Chin to get murked

And if Alpha doesn't win than fuck this show

 

[Deezy]

No other options for wyatts, it's got to be Alpha. No one else with the star power and being babyface.

Unless Wyatts start going character babyface, which I could see since live audiences don't boo Orton unless they're in smarky areas.

 

[Deezy]

This sick sell is the woat.

Bret did it better in 93.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Someone get this nasty asshole out of here!

 

[Cwalker]

Stop prolonging No Chin's murking

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Bryan is just getting drenched with Shane's ooze.

 

[Deezy]

I bet you Bryan and Shane got that poor Ellsworth sick so he can't get his title shot.

 

[Deezy]

Bryan is just getting drenched with Shane's ooze.

Steph got drenched in champagne, so Shanes like "I can do worse".

Still fighting for daddy's love

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Even in black Maryse brightens the room.
