Official “Smackdown Live” Preview – December 26, 2017

It’s time to get ready to start to Rumble! We’re past Christmas and now have just over four weeks to go before we can get to the Royal Rumble. That means it’s time to really get things going for one of the biggest matches of the year. It also means that we’re likely to have a fresh and unique challenger for AJ Styles’ Smackdown World Title.

WWE.com has released its official preview for tonight’s “Smackdown Live”. This week’s show seems to be focusing on continuing most of the storylines that have already been set up, including the issues between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, plus Dolph Ziggler leaving the United States Championship in the ring. Here are the stories featured in the preview.

Opinion: It’s one of my favorite times of the year as we’re full speed ahead towards the “Royal Rumble”. If nothing else we have the always cool period of people being announced for the match. While a lot of these names might not be shocking, it’s cool to see who is getting in and who might be doing something else.
