The Besties’ Bash 

The Miz is declaring that he and Shane McMahon are The Best Tag Team in the World … so, it’s only natural that one-half of the best team in the world would throw “The Best Birthday Bash in the World” for the other.

The Miz clearly has plans to celebrate his tag team partner in extravagant fashion on Shane-O-Mac’s birthday tonight. Will this party help draw the two teammates together as they prepare to challenge The Bar for the SmackDownTag Team Titles at this year’s Royal Rumble event?

How vicious is ‘The New’ Daniel Bryan?

As their WWE Championship showdown draws near, “The New” Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles are turning up the heat in their already-intense rivalry. Last Tuesday, The Phenomenal One caught Bryan off-guard with a vicious attack following the champion’s match with R-Truth.

Bryan responded with an unsettling interview later that night, saying that Styles’ actions weren’t even close to being as vicious as he could be. “The New” Daniel Bryan vowed that Styles would see that side of him at, if not before, WWE Royal Rumble.

Could Bryan choose to unleash that vicious side this week? Will the “real” AJ Styles be ready? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
