WWE Smackdown Live Preview: January 17, 2017

The dominance of Smackdown Live in the brand supremacy continues despite the presence of bigger names on the flagship show i.e. Monday Night Raw. This week the blue bandwagon will like to continue their momentum with a first-ever match in store in the night. We will see a steel cage match for the Women’s championship. Hence the stakes are already high from the night which will be hosted by the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. This is what’s expected from tonight’s edition of Smackdown:

 

 

John Cena to continue with his momentum

The franchise of the company picked up a much-needed singles win against Baron Corbin after return. Now, that he is on a mission to prove everyone wrong, he is not likely to stop until he gets his 16th world title at the Royal Rumble PPV. So, he is likely to continue with the momentum while confronting his opponent, AJ Styles.

 

First-ever women’s steel cage match

With the women’s revolution continuing, we are getting yet another first-ever matchup for the women’s division. This time, Alexa Bliss will take on against Becky Lynch inside a steel cage. The cage was added to the match to prevent the outside interferences from the mystery woman, La Luchadora. However, this should not prevent Bliss from retaining her title since the masked woman will eventually show up again throwing shenanigans outside the ring and creating distractions for Lynch. We finally might get to know who the masked woman is who would start a rivalry against Becky.

 

Nikki-Natalya continues

Last week, we expected to see the much-anticipated singles match between these two on Smackdown. However, the rivalry has reached to its boiling point courtesy personal comments from both of them. Plus, Natalya put up a brutal assault to the Bella queen from behind. Nikki must be irate with this and there’s no way that we are going to get an outcome with a simple match. Hence, we might get to know about a No Disqualification match between them for next week.

 

Will the Miz retaliate?

Last two weeks were not so good for the A-lister on Smackdown. Ambrose won the IC title two weeks ago whereas he was accidentally slapped by his wife, Maryse on the Ambrose Asylum show. The Miz must be fuelling inside to get his hands on Ambrose. So, he might come up with a sneak attack on the Lunatic Fringe, somewhere. Furthermore, he is yet to invoke his rematch clause for the IC title. Daniel Bryan might officially announce that, as well.

 

What’s next for the Wyatts?

Going by the sequences from last few weeks, it is almost evident that the Wyatts are on the verge of falling apart. They not only lost the tag team championships to American Alpha but also grew animosity among each other. The leader, Bray Wyatt must come up with some vocal tonics to keep his disciples united. Or else, Randy Orton will soon leave the flock to renew his rivalry with him. This might turn out to be Wrestlemania feud as well.
