January 19 2017 Rich Brennan and JBL hyped tonight's appearance by "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar. But Dean Ambrose, the WWE Universal Champion, kicks off tonight's SmackDown addressing last week's main event and confirms that Stratus has granted Rollins with a title opportunity a week from Sunday. Ambrose said he could whine, but he can't wait to punch Seth's teeth down his throat. Rollins came out to antagonize a fight, but backed off at the last second. Then emerged Trish Stratus from the back, who could see Seth was enjoying himself too much and felt Rollins wanted competition, placing him in a match RIGHT NOW against Ryback!
Seth Rollins def. Ryback Rollins struggled to find his ground in this impromptu match sprung on him, but was able to find a way to win with a Pedigree executed.
Immediately after the match, Dean Ambrose came back down and hit Dirty Deeds on his #1 contender and then raised the WWE Universal Championship high above his head after making a big statement.
The Miz is backstage probing at the SmackDown GM Trish Stratus to let him in the Royal Rumble. After not letting up, Stratus caved, but only if The Miz could win his match tonight against Tye Dillinger. The Miz said it's already been done before finally leaving her alone.
Justin Gabriel came along with Blake and Murphy for the qualifier for the WWE Trios Championship Match, that is set to take place next month when SmackDown is broadcast live. The Dudley Boyz come out and said after hearing about there being a trios title, they now have one thing left to accomplish in WWE. The Dudley Boyz then said there's nobody else to be the third man... Spike Dudley comes out to a warm welcome from the crowd! Spike is back in WWE!
Justin Gabriel, Blake and Murphy def. The Dudley Boyz and Spike Dudley The Dudley family reunion was ruined after Blake and Murphy hit Death by Dubstep to Spike, followed by Gabriel's 450 Splash on Spike.
As the three celebrated, the lights went out to see Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman on screen. Harper, centered, said The Wyatt Family is back together and he'll be leading his team to the WWE Trios Championships. They pop off, and we see fear on the faces of Blake and Murphy who seek a solution from Gabriel, who looks just as frightened.
Back from commercial, Trish Stratus heads out to clear up the WWE Matron's Championship situation. Inviting Natalya and champion Becky Lynch to the ring, she assures both the trust placed in them to make the division better and life for women in WWE much better. With that said, she wants them to go to war at the Royal Rumble and put them in a Last Woman Standing Match! Both are fired up for it, but out came Maria who isn't thrilled Natalya will be getting a title shot, saying she had the opportunity last week and blew it. Trish Stratus then made a match on the spot, at the request of the champion, Maria versus Becky Lynch right now!
Becky Lynch def. Maria in a non-title match Lynch put Maria in her place with the Bex-Plex and then the Dis-arm-her.
Before Becky Lynch is handed back her title from the official, Natalya jumps Becky Lynch from behind and locks in her family's Sharpshooter, keeping it in until Lynch cries out for help.
Kane comes out to the ring and before his match up next, he mentions what he did to Finn Balor and Balor won't be able to come for the Royal Rumble. Kane then places his name into the hat officially to be apart of the Royal Rumble Match, as he says he's hoping to have one last world title run in him.
Kane def. Zack Ryder Kane put Zack Ryder away easily with just a Chokeslam. But to make matters worse, hit a Tombstone Piledriver before pinning him.
Dolph Ziggler is interviewed by Renee Young and while Ziggler acknowledges Tye Dillinger had his number the last two weeks, that doesn't mean he won't walk out the winner of the Royal Rumble Match. Ziggler says he has to outlast everyone and he's proven he can toss Dillinger over the top rope, referencing to a nasty bump last week, but Dillinger popped up okay.
The Miz def. Tye Dillinger After Dillinger's best efforts, a bitter Dolph Ziggler came in and superkicked the official, pulling him out right after Dillinger's Tye Breaker and pin attempt. Ziggler then hit a superkick on Dillinger, that was followed by Ziggler leaving, a new official coming down, and The Miz pinning Dillinger after a Skull Crushing Finale.
After commercial, Rich Brennan and JBL hype next week's show that includes WWE Universal Champion Dean Ambrose against Kane, with the second of three qualifying matches for the WWE Trios Championship. We then hear the music of Brock Lesnar when only Paul Heyman comes out. The fans got their hopes up, but Paul Heyman came in the ring hyping this month's Royal Rumble event and how Lesnar will win the match and go on to headline WrestleMania. Heyman asked everyone to welcome the next WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar!! ... and he didn't show up. Heyman laughed that he tricked the fans and Lesnar won't show up for free tonight, but they can pay good money to see him at the Royal Rumble. Then Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura heads out and calls Lesnar scared to show his face. Nakamura told Heyman in few words to let Brock know he'll be winning the Royal Rumble instead. The theme of Nakamura is how we end SmackDown as Nakamura sends words to Heyman's client Lesnar.

January 23 2017 Advertising tonight's Raw, Michael Cole and Tyson Kidd bring up the United States Championship match later on tonight. But first, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt heads to the ring. Wyatt cuts a promo with the spotlight on him, detailing what is at stake for Bryan this Sunday at the Royal Rumble. Wyatt says he's coming this Sunday to crush the dreams of the underdog, and make sure WWE never has to see the sight they did at WrestleMania 30, with Bryan as world champion. Wyatt says beating Bryan won't only never let him compete for the title, but to never compete in a Royal Rumble Match. Wyatt sent a warning ahead to the Royal Rumble winner that they'll meet him at WrestleMania and fall as Bryan falls. This promo was before Wyatt's match, opening Raw against Hideo Itami.
Bray Wyatt def. Hideo Itami in a non-title match Itami wrestled the same style as Bryan, so it was a confidence boost for Wyatt to come out on top with catching Itami in Sister Abigail.
Tom Phillips welcomed his guest at the interview table, Xavier Woods, with Big E Langston standing in the background. Woods spoke for his friend and Woods told Phillips that Big E will indeed be in the Royal Rumble Match and should be the favorite to come out victorious because of the combination of size, skill, speed, and power. When asked about wrestling Wyatt, Woods said that he nor Big E is afraid of Bray Wyatt. Then when asked about Neville tonight, Xavier Woods laughed and left the interview table right then with Langston.
Bayley def. Tamina Snuka With Divas Champion doing commentary, scouting her opponent, Bayley overcame the pressure, but only after an Elbow Drop to Tamina from the top rope.
After a commercial, the WWE Tag Team Champions Aiden and Simon headed to the ring and made several excuses about losing their match to Matt and Jeff Hardy last week. The Hardy Boyz then came out and said if The Vaudevillians wouldn't let the fans know, they would. This is when it was announced that Foley is making The Vaudevillians defend their titles this Sunday at the Royal Rumble. Jeff then said if they think it's a fluke, he'll offer a 1-on-1 match tonight. Simon took the opportunity right then to avenge losing last week.
Jeff Hardy w/Matt Hardy def. Simon w/Aiden The Vaudevillians were victims of deja vu as Jeff Hardy's Twist of Fate gave way to beat Simon.
Tom Phillips is with Brie Bella at his interview table, in which she accepts Charlotte's challenge at the Royal Rumble. Brie said this could go down on only one condition, for it to be a Submission Match. Brie said she wants to shut Charlotte up for good and wants no excuses when she makes Charlotte tap.
Rusev w/Lana def. Kalisto via Disqualification Rusev dominated, but won by DQ when John Cena couldn't help himself for revenge and charged at Rusev, tackling him.
This brawl ensued between Cena and Rusev until Lana begged for mercy to be shown, in which this drew Cena's attention, enough to be kicked in the back of the head by Rusev. Rusev locked in The Accolade and once again stood tall over Cena after this devastating submission hold.
After a commercial break gives everyone time to diffuse, Mick Foley is in his office and makes several announcements. He confirms two matches for Sunday's pay-per-view between John Cena and Rusev, also Charlotte and Brie Bella now being a Submission Match. Foley also made a big announcement about tonight's main event. Foley understood tonight's main event was important in closing the chapter between Reigns and Owens headed into WrestleMania season, so he's making it a Falls Count Anywhere match!
Big E Langston w/Xavier Woods def. Neville Once Big E took Neville seriously, he endured the high-flying attacks and won his first real match in 2017 with his Military Press Chokeslam.
Backstage, Tomko is listening to Christian brag to Dana Brooke of how he'll enter at #1 and win the entire Royal Rumble, overcoming every obstacle and all odds. Titus O'Neil spoiled this braggadocios moment for Christian, laughing at his chances. Christian then challenged Titus to a match tonight, and when O'Neil was quick to accept, he clarified he meant Titus O'Neil versus Tomko! This match would happen next after commercial.
Tomko w/Christian def. Titus O'Neil Christian low-blowed Titus O'Neil behind the ref's back for Tomko to hit a massive boot and win the match.
Daniel Bryan is welcomed via satellite by Michael Cole and Tyson Kidd. When asked, Bryan confirmed he's aware of the stipulation and won't need to worry about that because he promises the fans he'll win the world title and bring YEStlemania back once more. Bryan agreed that Wyatt was an intimidating champion, but he knows how to handle him and knows how to beat him. Bryan promises this Sunday won't be any different than last year's WrestleMania when he defeated Bray Wyatt. After this short interview, we turn our attention to the main event.
Roman Reigns(c) def. Kevin Owens in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to retain the United States Championship Raw borrowed time from the Chrisley Knows Best program to showcase the ending to this match, one that resulted in 3 corners of the barricade being Speared through by Reigns, with the third being the final nail in the coffin for Owens.
After scoring a pinfall in the crowd by spearing Owens through the barricade a THIRD time, Reigns popped up and celebrated in the ring with his title before moving to another side of the barricade broken and celebrated with the crowd before this Sunday's Royal Rumble event, when Reigns will have the opportunity to be both the United States Champion and WWE World Heavyweight Champion after WrestleMania. This is how Raw goes off the air tonight.
Monday Night Raw talent confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match: Big E Langston Christian (entering at #1) Neville Titus O'Neil

January 25 2017 NXT began tonight with Baron Corbin and Zack Sabre Jr, who agreed they didn't get along backstage, have a common enemy in The Tolutasi. They then called out a man they didn't know, and that was the guy going as Bubba Stone. Stone headed to the ring, and admitted to have never meeting Corbin or Sabre Jr before but was training in the Performance Center when he's seen The Tolutasi take over. Stone said he loves NXT and wants it to be the best experience of his career, but they can't do it with The Tolutasi around. The Tolutasi then headed out, but seeing as Bubba Stone still had the barbed wire baseball bat, they kept a good distance. The Tolutasi challenged them to a 6-man tag team match at NXT Takeover this Saturday if that's what they wanted. All three men nodded to each other this is what they wanted.
Asuka def. Peyton Royce w/Billie Kay in a non-title match Asuka wasn't hindered by Kay's presence at ringside and instead put in the Asuka Lock on Royce to tap her out.
As the NXT Women's Champion was just about to leave the ring, out came Tessa Blanchard. Tessa was not afraid to get in Asuka's face and warn her if Alexa Bliss is not able to walk out of NXT Takeover San Antonio this Saturday, she has no problems challenging Asuka for the title either. The two got nose-to-nose before Asuka is the one to break the stare and head on past Blanchard.
After the video package for "Despair" and the arrival of that in NXT, Michael Bennett is in the ring and accepts the match for NXT Takeover San Antonio against Adam Cole. Elias Samson wasn't fond that Bennett was getting a match at NXT Takeover, so Bennett and Samson squared off right then on NXT.
Michael Bennett def. Elias Samson Bennett locked in the Anaconda Vise and quickly forced Samson to tap out.
Angelo Dawkins and Mojo Rawley were hyped about getting their names in the NXT tag team division hat, but this was interrupted by Abyss and Steve Marx, Strange Bedfellows, who believe they are next in line for the titles. We left backstage in an argument.
Shane Hollister def. John Kay Hollister has struggled to win since debuting in NXT and finally got his first career win, pulling out a 720 DDT!
The commentators advertised this Saturday's NXT Takeover pay-per-view and played a couple video packages about the NXT Tag Team Championships Match and the NXT Championship Match. This culminated in a contract signing to end tonight's show.
As NXT Champion Apollo Crews and challenger Tashard Wiggins were backstage for this contract signing with William Regal, they acknowledged being friends behind the scenes and making incredible strides towards African-American success in NXT and the WWE, but all that goes out the window this Saturday in San Antonio. The two signed the dotted line and respectfully had their signing, but during the handshake, Wiggins pulled Crews back into it and the two stared down into the final fade before NXT Takeover San Antonio.

January 26 2017 SmackDown begins with Seth Rollins coming out to make a guarantee of him becoming the new WWE Universal Champion this Sunday. The champion Dean Ambrose then came down to counter that claim, and then Rollins said he better look towards Kane tonight because that is no cake walk. Ambrose then asked why Rollins didn't have a match tonight, and when Rollins made some lame excuse, Trish Stratus stepped out from the curtain. Stratus said that Ambrose's match is in near moments against Kane, but Seth does in fact have a match tonight. Rollins wondered who, when his opponent for the main event tonight is named the Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Rollins was hot over this as Ambrose found it funny, until the blast goes off for Kane to come to the ring.
Dean Ambrose vs. Kane ends in a no contest Kane was taking it to Ambrose to make it an even match, but Kane was setting up for a Chokeslam when Finn Balor's music hit and he came down and hit a dropkick on Kane, calling for the bell.
Finn Balor took it to Kane until Kane rolled to the outside, in which Balor hit a Suicide Somersault Senton. Balor then rolled Kane back into the ring in the waiting arms of Dean Ambrose for Dirty Deeds. Balor rolled back in and as Ambrose grabbed his WWE Universal Championship, the two locked eyes. Balor told Ambrose up front he's coming for that title, but Ambrose rolled out of the ring and left Balor there. Balor turned to see Kane had sat up, but kicked Kane in the chest and then went up to the top for a finishing Coup de Grace, leaving Kane there. Finn Balor is back!
Trish Stratus is in her office when Natalya heads in and asks why she's been put in a match tonight against Sasha Banks, especially when she's in a Last Woman Standing Match this Sunday. Stratus recalled Natalya attacking Becky Lynch last night and figured she couldn't wait for the Royal Rumble, so that is why the match for tonight is in stone.
The Wyatt Family def. R-Truth, Tye Dillinger, and Zack Ryder The Wyatt Family were a cohesive unit for Luke Harper to hit a Discus Clothesline on Truth to qualify for the WWE Trios Championships Match.
Right after that match, Rich Brennan and JBL confirm Tye Dillinger is working the kickoff show against Dolph Ziggler this Sunday, preluding to the next match on deck with Ziggler taking on Randy Orton.
Randy Orton def. Dolph Ziggler Both competitors gave it their all headed into this Sunday, but it was just one RKO Outta Nowhere to give Orton the nod.
A video package of several superstars are shown, that was put together earlier this week, of SmackDown's talent in the Royal Rumble Match. They all make their claim as to why they are going to win the match and headline WrestleMania.
Natalya def. Sasha Banks Natalya had to fight for it, and these girls nearly went on for 20 minutes, but the constant toll on Sasha's back wasn't enough to stand a Sharpshooter.
After Natalya and Sasha Banks had a terrific match, Becky Lynch's music hit. The WWE Matrons Champion rushed to the ring but stopped at ringside, seeing Natalya was out of breath. Becky got a microphone and asked for her music to be cut off. Lynch said she wants so bad to get in that ring, lock the Dis-arm-her in, and be done with her. Lynch recalled being put in the Sharpshooter last week after her match with Maria, and wanted revenge tonight, but she's taking the high road. This actually drew boos from the fans who wanted to see a fight, but got them back to cheering after Lynch commended Natalya's match with Sasha Banks. Becky Lynch says she'll see Natalya this Sunday and have her opportunity to be the Last Woman Standing, and she will be. Lynch's music hit as she raised the title above her head before turning around and walking up the ramp, but this wasn't a good move as the veteran Natalya charged and knocked her down from behind. Natalya stomped viciously on Becky before locking in a Sharpshooter on the ramp. Becky was tapping as the officials finally got Natalya to break the hold. If Becky wasn't going to take advantage, Natalya did, and Natalya picked the WWE Matrons Championship up there on the ramp and held it above her head before kneeling down and telling Becky to say goodbye, dropping the title beside her and leaving.
They take a commercial break to cool things down, and when they come back, Brennan and JBL recap what just happened. They then turn it to Trish Stratus who is in her office with Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady. When they asked about their trios qualifier this Sunday, Stratus said that will be on the dock for the first live SmackDown this upcoming Tuesday. When asked why, Stratus said she'd grant one of them the opportunity to be in the Royal Rumble Match. Stratus then asked them a question, asking if they had found a tag team partner, in which Enzo said they're still holding auditions and going through the interview process for a Certified G. Stratus wished them luck.
Before the next match, Brennan and JBL run down next week's SmackDown on Tuesday, going live beginning January 31st. They discuss the final trios qualifier as well as Shinsuke Nakamura's Intercontinental Championship defense. They also break down the Royal Rumble card, especially SmackDown's portion, as they sent it to the ring for the main event.
Shinsuke Nakamura def. Seth Rollins in a non-title match Nakamura and Rollins were dead-even but it was when the official got knocked out and WWE Universal Champion Dean Ambrose ran to the ring in an official's shirt, hit Dirty Deeds on an irate Rollins, and then for Nakamura to hit Kinshasa for the win.
Dean Ambrose raised the hand of the Intercontinental Champion. After Nakamura had left, Ambrose ripped the referee shirt off and held the WWE Universal Championship high in the air above Rollins as the final Thursday SmackDown goes off the air.
SmackDown talent confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match: Brock Lesnar Cody Rhodes Dolph Ziggler Finn Balor Kane The Miz Randy Orton Sheamus Shinsuke Nakamura Tye Dillinger
