Bengaluru, January 30: With the conclusion of the most exciting Royal Rumble match in the history of the WWE, the Road to Wrestlemania kicked off officially.

When it comes to Smackdown Live there will never be a show without controversies and there was not any exception this past Sunday Night, as well. So, we expect a massive fallout from the PPV on tonight’s show.

This is going to mark the fourth consecutive night for the WWE roster's stay in Philly as Smackdown will be hosted at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Smackdown Live will be telecasted live in India via the Sony Ten 1 Network on Wednesday (January 31) from 6.30 AM (IST) onwards, while the repeat will be aired at 5 PM and 10 PM later in the day.

AJ Styles have been dealing with the shenanigans raised by both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn over the past few weeks. Although he was able to retain the WWE Championship, it did not come in a fair way. He pinned Kevin Owens to win the match who was not legal in the contest and a bad call was made by the referee.



Based on this, we are expected to receive big complaints from the heel duo of Smackdown Live to the authority figures. This, in turn, will continue the rift between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, as well. Meanwhile, the Fastlane PPV will be the next stop for the blue brand. So, all these happenings will set up the main event of the PPV, as well. For now, a multi-man title matchup is expected to take place on the show.

For weeks now, Charlotte Flair has not had a proper challenger for her women’s title. Being a strong champion, she certainly deserves a number one contender which should be declared, tonight. We can also expect to see the returning Bella Twins on the show gunning for the title now as the Wrestlemania season is approaching.



Shinsuke Nakamura won the men’s division, Royal Rumble, to the delight of the pro-wrestling circuit. But, he will have to be sidelined from the spotlight until the Fastlane main event is over after which we wiill know whether he gets to face AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 34 or any other superstar.



Dolph Ziggler returned to the WWE after a hiatus of almost two months. We expect him to appear on tonight’s Smackdown Live to give an explanation on his status. Also, a fatal-4-way contender’s match for the US title has been scheduled to take place between Rusev, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder and Jinder Mahal. Plus, the Usos will be looking forward to their next challengers for the tag titles.
