WWE SmackDown Jan. 10, 2017 Preview
John Cena vs. Baron Corbin
As announced on WWE.com, Cena makes his in-ring return on this week's episode of SmackDown Live. He faces "The Lone Wolf" Baron Corbin, who is on a tear as of late. Corbin defeated Kalisto and Dolph Ziggler while having a great showing in the Triple Threat WWE Title Match two weeks ago.
Will Cena be able to stop the Corbin train or "The Lone Wolf" gets another victim? A.J. Styles will closely watch this match since he will face Cena at the Royal Rumble while Corbin is focused on getting a shot at the WWE championship.
SmackDown Tag Team Title Match
The Wyatt Family is looking to get back their tag team titles as they invoke their rematch clause against American Alpha this week. Who will The Wyatt Family send to recapture the titles? Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt? Can Chad Gable and Jason Jordan successfully earn their first title defense?
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya
After attacking Nikki at Survivor Series and insulting her in the last couple of weeks, Natalya will finally get her hands on the longest reigning Divas champion in history. Can Nikki Bella get revenge on "The Queen of Harts"?
Will the WWE Universe finally know who La Luchadora is?
A total of three women has now donned the La Luchadora mask - Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and the mystery superstar. According to PWInsider, La Luchadora is being portrayed by Deonna Purrazzo but the WWE might reveal that it was Mickie James all along.
What's next for Dean Ambrose?
"The Lunatic Fringe" became a two-time Intercontinental champion last week when he defeated The Miz. What's next for the new IC champion? Probably another match with The Miz, who erupted on Talking Smack and blasted hosts, Daniel Bryan and Renee Young.
