Which Superstar will come out on top this time around?
The Miz to throw Shane McMahon “The Best Birthday Bash in the World”
The Miz is declaring that he and Shane McMahon are The Best Tag Team in the World … so, it’s only natural that one-half of the best team in the world would throw “The Best Birthday Bash in the World” for the other.
Make sure to tune in this Tuesday on #SDLive as yours truly hosts the best birthday bash in the world for my bestie @shanemcmahon…it’s gonna be AWESOME! @WWE pic.twitter.com/nOqhhg3mjC

The Miz clearly has plans to celebrate his tag team partner in extravagant fashion on Shane-O-Mac’s birthday tonight. Will this party help draw the two teammates together as they prepare to challenge The Bar for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at this year’s Royal Rumble event?
Carmella and Sonya Deville to square up
With Sonya Deville repeatedly using social media to opine that Carmella is continually getting opportunities that she doesn’t deserve, The Princess of Staten Island responded and then swiftly challenged Deville to a match.
The fact that THIS is what took my spot in the triple threat match last week AND is gonna take up some more wasted space in the rumble 🤔 #WHOLEMOOD https://t.co/LXUCKDDswL

Says the chick who got eliminated by her “day one” at #WWEEvolution. 🤣
Why don’t you put your hair up and square up with me this Tuesday on #SDLive? Unless you’re gonna be too embarrassed when you lose to the chick with the dance breaks.. 😏 https://t.co/sDEaUR7Qej

Will Deville back up her bold words, or will she soon be quieted by Carmella’s Code of Silence?
What’s next for Becky Lynch and Asuka?
Last Tuesday, Becky Lynch emerged victorious from a grueling Triple Threat Match to earn the right to challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka at WWE Royal Rumble. After her win (and coming face-to-face with The Empress of Tomorrow), The Man made it clear that she’s coming for “her title” in Phoenix on Sunday, Jan. 27.
Knowing Asuka, the reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion won’t take that threat lightly. Will tensions continue to rise between these two fierce competitors as the Royal Rumble event approaches?
Will AJ Styles find out how vicious Daniel Bryan can be?
As their WWE Championship showdown draws near, “The New” Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles are turning up the heat in their already-intense rivalry. Last Tuesday, The Phenomenal One caught Bryan off-guard with a vicious attack following the champion’s match with R-Truth.
Bryan responded with an unsettling interview later that night, saying that Styles’ actions weren’t even close to being as vicious as he could be. “The New” Daniel Bryan vowed that Styles would see that side of him at, if not before, WWE Royal Rumble.
Could Bryan choose to unleash that vicious side this week? Will the “real” AJ Styles be ready? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
