Mickie James addresses her actions from last week
Renee Young is in the ring, and she introduces the newest member of the Smackdown Live roster, Mickie James. Mickie James makes her entrance to a nice reception. Renee mentions that it’s been almost seven years since she’s been in a WWE ring. Everyone was surprised that she was La Luchadora. Why did she do that? Mickie asks if Renee knew that she won her first WWE Women’s Championship when she beat WWE Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus, at WrestleMania. She is a five-time WWE Women’s Champion and former Diva’s Champion. Renee says she has one of the most impressive resumes in WWE history, but she didn’t answer her question. Mickie says she did. Renee mentions that she just ran down her resume. Mickie says the fact that she had to do that answers the question. She might not have been around for a bit, but she never stopped watching WWE. Becky Lynch and the women of “the revolution” want to pretend like they were the first real female athletes of WWE as if everything she accomplished and sacrificed meant nothing. They would’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for one person: Alexa Bliss.Becky Lynch’s music interrupts her. Lynch charges down to the ring and takes James down before unloading on her with punches. James escapes and runs through the crowd. Lynch goes to follow her, but Alexa Bliss blindsides her from the crowd. Bliss gets her in the ring. James follows and wipes her out with a Mick Kick. Bliss goes to the top rope and connects with Twisted Bliss. James grabs the microphone and says she should have learned this lesson a long time ago from Alexa: always be one step ahead. They stand over the fallen Lynch.
Battle Royal – Winner is in the Royal Rumble
Heath Slater vs. Rhyno vs. Mojo Rawley vs. Viktor vs. Konnor vs. Aiden English vs. Simon Gotch vs. Tyler Breeze vs. Fandango vs. Curt Hawkins
Winner: Mojo Rawley
AJ Styles calls out John Cena ahead of the Royal Rumble
WWE Champion AJ Styles makes his way to the ring. Styles is furious over this. Styles sarcastically praises Shane McMahon for showing him some respect. Styles then stops and calls John Cena out.John Cena makes his way to the ring to his usual mixed reaction. Cena stands in the ring as the crowd chants, “Let’s go Cena/Cena sucks.” This goes on for a few moments. Styles cuts him off before he can really speak. Styles says we don’t need to hear another one of Cena’s speeches. Monday morning, he turned on the television to see him on “The Today Show.” What does he hear and see? A replay is shown from the show where they don’t know Styles’ name and calls him, “Guy from Atlanta.” Styles says Cena has forgotten who he is. He’s “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. He is the champ that runs the camp. He’s the unbeatable, unstoppable champ that has held down Smackdown Live since he’s been gone. Nobody missed Cena. A loud “Cena” chant fires up. Styles says a couple of morons apparently did miss him. Styles says he didn’t just take Cena’s place. He’s the face that replaced him. Styles says that must get to him that he’s the man on this show and not Cena. Every time Cena gets in the ring with him, he knows that he’s the better man in it. Each and every time, Cena says the champ is a little tense tonight and complaining that he doesn’t get any respect. How many times has he come to the ring and 10,000 people tells him he sucks. Styles will try as hard as he can, but if he fails, it’ll be his fault because he buried him. Styles has been hot for six months whereas he’s held the place down for a decade. A guy like Styles can stand in the ring and call him a sorry excuse for a wrestler. Why? He didn’t put time in on the indy scene? Cena wasn’t built for that scene. He was built for the WWE and moments like right now. Regardless of how good Styles thinks he is, he’s not on his level or the level below him. Styles is also just the guy that will find out on Sunday what everyone knows: there’s only one John Cena, and he’s a very bad man. His time is now. Cena then walks off while his music plays.
Kalisto vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner by Pinfall: Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler stands tall before looking down at Kalisto. Ziggler then leaves the ring and grabs a steel chair. JBL gets up from commentary and yells at Ziggler. Apollo Crews attacks Ziggler from behind and sends him into the ring post. Crews swings the chair, but Ziggler avoids him. Ziggler runs up the ramp and escapes.
Naomi vs. Natalya
Naomi makes her unique entrance and waits for Natalya. We go backstage to see Nikki Bella attacking Natalya. Referees have to run in to pull her off. Naomi is watching in the ring and is not pleased. Naomi says she’s just making her return and she’s not leaving the ring until someone steps up. Alexa Bliss’ music hits, and she makes her way to ringside. Bliss says she’s not here to accept a challenge from a nobody. Naomi hasn’t been on TV in three months. Who is she again? The better question is who does she think she is? Naomi says she’ll show her exactly who she is. She’ll snatch that blonde hair and make her bald. She’ll be looking like Mr. Clean. She’ll be the new Smackdown Women’s Champion. Bliss asks if she wants a shot at the title and goes to get in the ring before immediately getting off the apron. Bliss says she’s not worth her time. Bliss says, “Say hi to obscurity for me. Thanks.” Bliss then walks off.

WWE Smackdown Live Results: 1/31/2017
— The show kicked off with Shane McMahon, AJ Styles, and Daniel Bryan backstage. Shane announced that Style will compete in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship alongside John Cena, Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, and The Miz.
— John Cena came out to say that he can admit when he’s wrong, and he was wrong about AJ Styles. Styles is an elite-level WWE Superstar who brought out the best in him. Cena doesn’t want to spend time celebrating his title win, and instead wants to defend his championship. Bray Wyatt came out with Randy Orton, saying they’re going to end this vicious cycle and set the championship free. Before they can both attack Cena, the lights cut out for a moment and Luke Harper appeared beside Cena in the ring. Shane McMahon then came out to make it a tag team match then and there.
1. Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton defeated John Cena and Luke Harper. Randy Orton picked up the victory with an RKO to John Cena.
2. Carmella with James Ellsworth defeated Delilah Dawson. Ellsworth grabbed Dawson’s feet from the outside, faceplanting her onto the canvas. Carmella then caught her with a drop toehold as soon as she got up, then locked in the Code of Silence for the win.
3. Dolph Ziggler defeated Kalisto. Ziggler superkicked Kalisto and got the pin. After the match, Ziggler tried to remove Kalisto’s mask, but was chased off through the crowd by Apollo Crews.
4. Naomi and Becky Lynch defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James. After Becky speared Mickie out of the ring, Naomi took Bliss down with a spinning roundhouse kick. Naomi won the match with a split-legged moonsault.
5. The American Alpha Open Challenge. After issuing an open challenge, a chaotic battle royal of sorts ensued after The Ascension, Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Vaudevillains, Breezango, and the Usos came out to fight in the ring. It came to an end with the Usos and American Alpha left in the ring. No, this did not make more sense on television.
6. AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose. Baron Corbin and The Miz got into a fight while both of them were on commentary. It spilled over to the outside of the ring, but both were taken out by a dive from Dean Ambrose. Shortly after he got back in the ring, Styles met him with a Styles Clash to get the win. As Styles headed up the ramp, The Miz got in the ring and attacked Ambrose with a Skull Crushing Finale before eating an End of Days from Baron Corbin.
