Smackdown preview

* SmackDown Gauntlet main event to determine who challenges Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble

Tonight’s SmackDown main event will feature an epic Gauntlet Match to determine who will challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble, pitting highly decorated Superstars Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura and King Corbin against each other in an all-out battle to face The Head of the Table.

* Apollo Crews to challenge Intercontinental Champion Big E

On the Jan. 1 edition of SmackDown, Intercontinental Champion Big E joined forces with Apollo Crews to overcome the tandem of Sami Zayn & King Corbin.

The Powerhouse of Positivity is eager to prove himself a fighting champion, so rather than sit back and wait for a challenger to present himself, Big E announced that he will issue an open challenge for his title the following week on the blue brand. Instead, Crews stepped up and informed Big E that he will be accepting that challenge.


* The Street Profits take on Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode in a SmackDown Tag Team Title Match

After an absolutely brutal chair assault by Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode, it was confirmed on WWE Talking Smack that the SmackDown Tag Team Champions will once again put their illustrious titles on the line against The Showoff and his "Glorious" partner.

The Street Profits bested the challengers in their final match of 2020, but Ziggler & Roode hope to recapture the magic of earlier victories to open the new year.

Considering the vicious nature of the attack by their would-be challengers, will The Street Profits – particularly the knee of Montez Ford – be in any condition to repel their dangerous opposition?


Are you ready for a good time?

It would actually be cool if Sami turned face and won that match. Probably gonna be Bryan though, which isn't bad either.

I saw this reported as "Roman kills NXT star's push" and then when you read the actual story it's "KO thought it didn't make sense for Priest to be his best friend and Roman backed him" lol

e: It doesn't make sense! It's like... a basketball team in Seattle!

This is why I think they might actually turn Sami back face and have him win. If they actually listened to KO and Roman, Sami is the guy that should be used in that spot.

I really, really hate when WWE does this thing where a wrestler calls someone out to the ring and says "Hey look at this video package I put together"

e: Roman is a really good heel

e2: oh my god, every time they cut to showing Pearce from the front and Roman from behind you can see all the fuzz and string and poo poo stuck in the velcro

The best thing about Carmella vs Sasha was when Sasha handed Carmella the champagne and she reacted to it immediately because of the BOSS knuckles, but the knuckles were facing the camera not Carmella

According to Adam Pierce and Sonya, either a rematch with the Street Prophets, Gable and Otis, or more legends. Real deep pool there.

Gable and Otis would be good, I guess. Street Profits really shouldn't have lost though.
