SmackDown preview, Jan. 10, 2017: John Cena goes to war against The Lone Wolf
Following Baron Corbin’s disruptive actions last week, The Cenation Leader goes head-to-head against the Lone Wolf tonight on SmackDown LIVE. Plus, The Wyatt Family attempts to reclaim the SmackDown Tag Team Titles and Nikki Bella seeks major payback against Natalya.
Will Corbin wreak havoc on the Cenation?
NEW ORLEANS – Baron Corbin made a strong statement when he interrupted the Royal Rumble WWE Championship Contract Signing between AJ Styles and John Cena last Tuesday night. You really have to hand it to the Lone Wolf – he has forced his way into the spotlight in recent weeks, and no one has been able to knock him back out of it.
However, can the brutal up-and-comer truly leave his mark on the Cenation when he takes on the 15-time World Champion tonight? Moreover, with Royal Rumble looming, will WWE Champion AJ Styles be on hand to rattle the celebrated No. 1 contender?
The Wyatt Family look to take back the SmackDown Tag Team Titles
On the final SmackDown LIVE of 2016, American Alpha captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in an explosive Four Corners Elimination Match. Tonight, The Wyatt Family will look to reclaim the titles from Chad Gable & Jason Jordan.
The talented new titleholders have certainly lived up to the hype. However, can they withstand the scourge of Wyatts in a one-on-one match-up?
Nikki Bella stands ready to play with the Queen of Harts
OK, not only did Natalya attack Nikki Bella at Survivor Series, but last week on SmackDown LIVE, she added insult to injury by telling her Fearless adversary that she is “going to die alone.”
Nikki may have left Nattie lying on the canvas after that comment, but can she gain lasting retribution on The Queen of Hearts in their highly anticipated showdown tonight?
Beware of an angry Ziggler
Last week on SmackDown LIVE, Dolph Ziggler snapped after losing to Baron Corbin, taking out Kalisto and Apollo Crews in the process. Will The Showoff’s newfound aggression give him a competitive edge in the weeks to come? Or will he ultimately regret his actions once the likes of Kalisto and Crews come looking for payback?

Who is the mysterious La Luchadora?
Over the past few weeks, several matches have been influenced by the presence of the enigmatic “La Luchadora.” Though originally it was Becky Lynch wearing the mask as she looked to humiliate SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, in recent weeks another La Luchadora has helped Bliss get the best of The Irish Lass Kicker.
With speculation running wild as to whom the new masked disruptor may be, find out if her identity will finally be revealed tonight.
What will the fallout of Dean Ambrose’s Intercontinental Title victory be?
After losing the Intercontinental Championship to Dean Ambrose last week, the primary question now becomes: How will The Miz respond?
There’s no doubt The A-Lister is fuming, not only about the loss of his coveted championship, but also over the fine imposed by SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan onto his wife Maryse, after she slapped Ambrose’s girlfriend, Renee Young, last week.
Will there be more outward venom between Maryse and Renee Young? And what will the new Intercontinental Champion have up his sleeve now that the title resides in the Ambrose Asylum?
Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE!
