The first episode of Smackdown Live in the year 2017 will take place at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The second longest running weekly episodic television show in the television history concluded 2016 on a bigger note by beating Raw in every term. Last week, we went off the air after getting confirmed that John Cena and AJ Styles will be competing at Royal Rumble for the WWE championship. We will be receiving major fall-outs after the announcement, for sure. Here’s what to expect from tonight:
Predictions for tonight’s main event
Tonight’s Smackdown will be main evented by The Miz and Dean Ambrose who will be fighting it out for the Intercontinental title. Quite interestingly, WWE.com posted the picture of the match which included Renee Young besides the Lunatic Fringe. The blonde headed announcer is going to be an integral part of the feud and we can expect that she will be present at ringside to neutralise Maryse’s actions. However, no title change is expected, tonight as Miz will be running away, anyways. This will set up the next match between them at Royal Rumble PPV.
