How will AJ Styles react to his Handicap Match at WWE Royal Rumble?

Last Tuesday, after losing to Sami Zayn in controversial fashion during a battle that saw Kevin Owens,
Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan get involved, a frustrated AJ Styles lashed out, saying he may as well
face Owens & Zayn in a Handicap Match.
Bryan, whose leadership has been called into question in recent weeks, took the WWE Champion literally,
making a Handicap Match for the title on the spot for the Royal Rumble event on Jan. 28. The Phenomenal
One seemed less than thrilled with the decision. How will Styles react to this predicament tonight.

Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable demand justice

Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable thought they had defeated The Usos and won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles last week.
The referee counted three as Gable pinned Jimmy Uso, setting off a celebration. However, the official soon realized
that neither Gable nor Jimmy were the legal Superstars in the battle, rendering his decision null and void, and he
ordered the match to restart. The Usos stayed focused after the restart and walked out victorious with their titles in hand.
However, Gable & Benjamin are not going away quietly following the controversial ending. WWE.com has learned that
the two are “demanding justice” after last week’s battle. What exactly do the two mat wrestling masters have in mind?

The Ascension battle The Bludgeon Brothers

After saving their best friends from another bludgeoning at the hands of Harper & Rowan, The Ascension will get a
crack at The Bludgeon Brothers this week on SmackDown LIVE.
Konnor & Viktor inadvertently fed their best friends, Tyler Breeze & Fandango, to the wolves over the past few weeks,
volunteering them for rematches against the hammer-wielding monsters. After being saved from a beatdown by The Ascension,
The Fashion Police showed Konnor & Viktor a great deal of gratitude, but said it was time for The Bludgeon Brothers to
face someone their own size. With that, Breeze & Fandango went to Daniel Bryan and got The Ascension a match with
Harper & Rowan this week.
Will the bludgeoning continue, or will Harper & Rowan go on a one-way trip to The Wasteland?
