Follow along with our review of Tuesday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown.

On Tuesday night, the latest episode of WWE SmackDown took place. The show looked to follow up on what had been seen to open up 2017. This included a big match being set up, Dolph Ziggler turning heel, and more direction being brought to the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

The main event of SmackDown would see John Cena and Baron Corbin battle. This comes after their interaction during last Tuesday’s WWE Championship contract signing. This is Corbin’s highest profile match singles yet, including his title shot in the six-pack challenge in September. Would he be able to walk out with a surprising win over the Leader of the Cenation?

American Alpha would defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against the Wyatt Family in a rematch. Tensions have surrounded Randy Orton and Luke Harper in recent weeks, which seems set to send this stable into chaos. Would there be a new development?

One week after turning heel, Ziggler would be back in action to show off his newfound attitude on SmackDown. He faced Kalisto after their surprising encounter from the January 3 show. Would Ziggler be able to start winning? Or would the Lucha Dragon make his presence felt?

Dean Ambrose and the Miz also stood face to face in the ring to continue their feud. Nikki Bella, Natalya, Carmella, and others were also seen on SmackDown to continue the road to the Royal Rumble.

So, what would go down on SmackDown? Follow along with our review of the show from January 10.
