The tone always seems to be better and more positive when it comes to SmackDown Live. Perhaps its the fact that its two hours or maybe even that it's simply not as repetitive as RAW is. Let's have a recap of last week.
Paige announced Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair as a TLC match for the SmackDown Women's title. The other women of the roster protested and a battle royal was made, with the winner entering the match and making it a triple threat. Asuka, the winner of the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble wound up winning that match, inserting herself into the Women's title match at TLC and making it a dream triple threat.
Shinsuke Nakamura seemingly began a feud with Rusev. He was supposed to take on The Bulgarian Brute in a non-title match, but attacked him before the match could even begin. AJ Styles returned to SmackDown Live and addressed Daniel Bryan, who conveniently wasn't present.
Samoa Joe also began a feud with Jeff Hardy after making things personal and crashing his 20th-anniversary celebration. Meanwhile, Rey Mysterio was once again victim to an assault by Randy Orton. Let's take a look at what you need to look forward to this week.
Daniel Bryan joins Miz TV
This is one we've really been waiting for, haven't we? Daniel Bryan and The Miz have been each other's biggest rivals for the last few years now, but with Bryan's new changed attitude, this may be the start of something very interesting.
It's very possible that The Miz TV segment could be the start of where they finally get on the same page. Could we finally be seeing an alliance between Daniel Bryan and The Miz after all these years?
Randy Orton goes one-on-one with Jeff Hardy
After brutalizing Rey Mysterio last week once again, Orton faces another legend who he brutalized not too long ago - Jeff Hardy. Orton takes on the three-time WWE World Champion (and six-time overall world champion). However, this match reeks of interference.
Jeff Hardy started a beef with Samoa Joe while Mysterio will look to get one over The Viper. It's highly likely that the chaos will see a double interference and result in a subsequent tag team match, with Hardy and Mysterio facing Orton and Joe.
Cesaro faces the odds in a triple threat match-up
The Bar haven't been in the best form over the last few weeks, with The Big Show already seemingly ending their alliance. A triple threat match has been announced for TLC where The Bar will defend the SmackDown tag titles against The New Day and The Usos.
Until then, Cesaro will take on Xavier Woods and Jey Uso. This is going to be an exciting one!
A contract signing for the TLC match
The Man Becky Lynch has a huge task ahead of her as she takes on Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a TLC match-up. She overcame the challenge of Charlotte Flair after the summer of 2018, but how is she going to be able to handle the threat of the two most dangerous females in WWE not named Ronda Rousey?
Paige will be hosting a contract signing between the three women. As we know, contract signings in WWE hardly ever end with just the ink on paper and nothing else. There's going to be verbal jabs thrown at one another and there's most definitely going to be a lot of action.
The bigger question is: What's Becky Lynch's medical status? Will she be able to handle the onslaught of both The Queen and The Empress Of Tomorrow?
