WWE SmackDown Jan. 17, 2017 Preview

First ever Women's Steel Cage Match

With Raw making history last year for making the first ever Women's Hell in a Cell Match, it's now SmackDown Live's turn. General Manager Daniel Bryan announced last week that Alexa Bliss will defend her women's championship against Becky Lynch in a Steel Cage Match, per WWE.com.

What will the two bitter rivals do to each other inside one of the WWE's unforgiving structure? Will the mysterious La Luchadora come out again and help Alex retain her title or Becky becomes a two-time women's champion?

A.J. Styles needs some momentum

Since John Cena won last week against Baron Corbin, it's Styles' turn to gain some momentum heading into their WWE title match at the Royal. Who will Styles face this week on SmackDown - Corbin or even James Ellsworth?

What's next for The Wyatt Family?

In last week's SmackDown, The Wyatt Family lost their rematch against American Alpha. Randy Orton and Luke Harper continue their path to implosion while Bray Wyatt becomes the peacemaker. What will Bray do next to keep his family together?

The King's Court returns!

As announced by Jerry Lawler on Twitter, The King's Court segment will be back on this week's episode of SmackDown Live. There is still no word on who will be the guest but expect it to be a big superstar like Dean Ambrose or The Miz.

Who enters the Royal Rumble next?

SmackDown Live has only four participants announced for the 2017 Royal Rumble - Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin, The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. Which SmackDown star will announce his participation or earn a ticket to the most star-studded Royal Rumble Match of all time?
