SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn making their way to the ring.

Owens and Zayn talk about their upcoming WWE title match against AJ Styles and how the Yep Movement is about more than just a one-syllable word. They are confident they will leave the Rumble with the WWE title and become the first co-champions in the belt's history. Then Sami says after they take his title, they are going to hurt Styles. This brings out aJ Styles to respond.

He vows to make sure Owens and Zayn never become champions. KO says AJ may be phenomenal, but he is also predictable. 

After they trade some more insults, we end up with AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens and AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn immediately after for later tonight. Daniel Bryan came out, but AJ agreed to the matches before Bryan could book them against his wishes.

Bryan and Shane run into each other backstage and McMahon questions why AJ is in two matches tonight. Bryan says he wasn't going to book those matches, but Styles agreed to do it anyway. Shane implies he no longer thinks Bryan can do the job.
