The last episode of Smackdown Live before the Royal Rumble PPV came live last night from the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. The episode was a much-anticipated one after what transpired last week during the ending segment on the show. Mickie James returned to WWE after a long time costing Becky Lynch the title opportunity. We were eager to hear from her. Plus, a match was already scheduled between Randy Orton and Luke Harper. This is how things went down on last night’s Smackdown.
Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper
This match between the two brothers from the Wyatt family kicked off Smackdown Live. RKO chants fired up in the arena as Orton took the control of the match from the beginning. After some back and forth going, Harper went for the discuss clothesline but Orton countered it with the RKO for the win. After the match, Wyatt hit Harper with a Sister Abigail and left him in the ring before going backstage with Orton.
