WWE SmackDown Live: 5 things we learned from this week's episode (January 15, 2019)

#4 There will be a stipulation added to the AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan match

AJ Styles was fired up by Vince McMahon, and now we have started seeing a bit of a different side to him. Even though he did use some dirty tactics, even as a face, WWE is trying to use the same tactics but make it seem as though it has been caused by his confrontation with Vince.

Regardless of whatever the reasons are, Styles and Daniel Bryan have been seen brawling on and off, and their current brawl on SmackDown last night seems to signal towards change in the stipulation for their match at the Royal Rumble.

While a Falls Count Anywhere match seems the most likely stipulation for their match, it could even turn into an Iron Man Match, which would be extremely fun to watch.

While Daniel Bryan is playing a pure heel character, Styles’ character is a bit mixed now and not of a pure face’s, which could mean that their clash at the Royal Rumble will be extremely physical and give us one of the best matches of the year already.
