4 Predictions for WWE SmackDown Live: January 24, 2017

Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper

After Luke Harper and Randy Orton yet again got in each other’s way last week during Orton’s match-up with Dean Ambrose, the two will do battle this week. It is necessary according to Bray Wyatt for the two to settled their differences in the ring. Wyatt claims it will only strengthen the Wyatt Family in the end. This match-up will likely not go as Wyatt planned, but how exactly will things go awry? If this match ends in a clean result, it is easy to predict the winner: Orton.

What type of angle will this take, however? Will the Wyatt Family implode this week or perhaps at the rumble? Is Harper right? Is Orton indeed trying to break up the Wyatt Family from the inside? Perhaps this week, Wyatt will be left with an automaton where he will have to choose between Orton and Harper.  I ultimately think this is all leading towards a Wrestlemania showdown between the Viper and the Eater of Worlds.
