SmackDown opens with Kane heading to the ring.

Kane talks about the upcoming Royal Rumble and says it is his favorite event. He talks about having the most career eliminations in the match. The Firefly Hun House music plays and Bray Wyatt comes on the big screen.

Wyatt taunts Kane a bit before he says Ramblin Rabbit is alive and recovering from his wounds. He reminds Kane about when The Fiend attacked him before the lights go out in the arena. The Fiend emerges from under the ring and sneaks up on Kane. The Big Red Monster turns around and asks what took him so long. Daniel Bryan comes out of nowhere to hit a Running Knee. He beats down Wyatt until he goes back under the ring.
