WWE SmackDown Preview: 15 January 2019

#3 The greatest birthday bash in the world

Shane McMahon and The Miz make an odd pairing. It is even odder that they have a title shot at the Royal Rumble. Can this unlikely team coexist long enough to dethrone Cesaro and Sheamus? Well, this week will be the first test of many.

Shane McMahon turns 49 when SmackDown Live comes around. And The Miz wants to make Shane McMahon's special day even more special. He has planned special celebrations to make the occasion memorable.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

It is almost a certainty that something will go down during the course of this segment, which will play into the upcoming Royal Rumble match. Whether it's interference from Cesaro and Sheamus or a dispute between the oddball tag team remains to be seen.

Whatever the case may be, I know that because of the men involved, the segment will be 'Awesome!'
