SmackDown LIVE preview, Jan. 24, 2017: Orton and Harper battle to decide the future of The Wyatt Family
At the behest of Bray Wyatt, The Viper and his The Wyatt Family cohort Luke Harper will look to put their internal divide to rest when they go one-on-one tonight. Plus, an exclusive interview with 5-time Women’s Champion Mickie James.

Last week, Bray Wyatt announced that before The Wyatt Family can take part in the Royal Rumble Match on Sunday, Randy Orton and Luke Harper must first square off against each other tonight in an attempt to quell their ongoing internal turmoil.

The New Face of Fear has made no bones about the fact that a family divided is no family at all. But, will a match between Harper and Orton fix the problem or finish off the dreaded faction for good? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Renee Young set to interview the returning Mickie James
In an absolutely stunning moment last week, it was revealed that the mysterious La Luchadora, who has been causing so much disruption on SmackDown LIVE, was none other than Mickie James.

Tonight, the five-time Women’s Champion will grant an exclusive interview to Renee Young in the center of the ring – the very same squared circle where the dangerous competitor built her reputation against the likes of Beth Phoenix, Team LayCool, Maryse and WWE Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita.

Will we find out why Mickie has opted to align herself with SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss? What are her long-term plans now that she has returned? Most importantly, will Becky Lynch be on hand to offer her the courtesy of an Irish Lass Kicking?

AJ Styles will call out John Cena
This Sunday, AJ Styles will attempt to defend his WWE Championship against John Cena. However, before that highly-anticipated rematch, WWE.com has learned that “The Champ that Runs the Camp” is planning on calling The Cenation Leader to the ring tonight on SmackDown LIVE.

Perhaps Styles simply wants to have a pow-wow with his No.1 contender concerning Shane McMahon’s shocking announcement that the winner of their Royal Rumble showdown will have to defend the WWE Title against five other Superstars in the career-altering Elimination Chamber Match at SmackDown LIVE’s next solo pay-per-view on Feb. 12. Then again, maybe The Phenomenal One is looking to get retribution on Cena for the Attitude Adjustment he suffered last week.

Kalisto seeks payback on Dolph Ziggler
It can truly be said that Dolph Zigger’s new-found aggression went way over the line one week ago on “King’s Court,” when he took credit for causing WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler’s heart attack back in 2012 and then proceeded to attack The King. Later on WWE Talking Smack, Commissioner Shane McMahon apologized for Ziggler’s actions, but Lawler suggested that the apology might mean more coming from The Showoff himself.

Although Ziggler has had no response and no action was taken to punish him as of yet, perhaps payback is still on its way. After suffering a vicious chair assault two weeks ago, Kalisto will go head-to-head against Ziggler in a highly-personal showdown.

Don’t miss a moment of SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.

WWE 205 Live preview, Jan. 24, 2017: Can Cedric Alexander upset Neville?
With less than a week until Royal Rumble, Neville looks to send Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann a message, while Cedric Alexander hopes to deliver an upset to The King of the Cruiserweights. Don't miss WWE 205 Live, tonight at 10/9 C, exclusively on WWE Network.

The Brian Kendrick's quest for respect and dominance
Following Tajiri's successful debut on WWE 205 Live, The Brian Kendrick was eager to congratulate and greet his fellow veteran and Cruiserweight pioneer. The Japanese Buzzsaw returned the greeting by spitting his patented green mist in Kendrick's face, leaving the former Cruiserweight Champion both irate and without an ally.

Tajiri has since been sidelined with an injury, and if Kendrick's match with Sean Maluta two weeks ago was any indication, Kendrick intends to get payback on Tajiri by taking out his aggression out on new and upcoming Cruiserweights looking to make a name for themselves. Although Maluta put forth an excellent effort, Kendrick emerged victorious, adding credence to his new effort.

What is Kendrick's endgame, and who will be the next wide-eyed Cruiserweight on the veteran Superstar's list?

Can Cedric Alexander keep his focus inside the ring?
Hoping to center his focus on reaching the pinnacle of the Cruiserweight division, Cedric Alexander faces the most daunting challenge of his career —Neville. However, for Alexander, no matter how hard he tries to put the drama among himself, Alicia Fox and Noam Dar behind him, it has a way of coming back to haunt him.

On Raw, in the midst of explaining his determination to win the Cruiserweight Championship, Alexander was confronted by Dar and Fox. The situation soon degraded as Fox berated her ex-boyfriend, claiming he couldn't win without her. The exchange ended with Alexander pushes Dar to the ground, but it was clear that the psychological damage had been done.

How will the continued drama with Alicia Fox and Noam Dar affect Alexander's huge battle with Neville? Can he stay focused on the task inside the squared circle? Find out tonight on WWE 205 Live at 10/9 C, exclusively on WWE Network.
