- There were plans for AJ Styles to defend his WWE World title against the Undertaker at Royal Rumble, according to PWInsider. The shift to John Cena came around the same time the Creative team was changed up with the dismissal of Managing Writer Tom Casiello.

- The “injury” Alexa Bliss suffered during Tuesday’s Women’s title match was possible because the champ’s elbow joints are hypermobile (aka “double jointed”); she did not break or dislocate anything.

- Speaking of SmackDown injuries, Heath Slater Tweeted after the show he thought he’d been hurt in the tag title match, but later said he got a clean bill of health from the medical team.

- Chris Hero is working for Evolve on Royal Rumble weekend, including a show running at the same time as TakeOver: San Antonio, so if he is still coming to WWE, it won’t be until February.

- After working the first match in 205 Live history, the Bollywood Boys were sent back to the Performance Center, as management thought they needed more work.

Tonight on SmackDown Live, The Miz must defend his Intercontinental Championship title against Dolph Ziggler. Plus, John Cena goes one-on-one with Dean Ambrose in a match, and if we’re lucky enough, we may see the return of Eva Marie. The show will air tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the USA Network, broadcast from Birmingham, Alabama.

On SmackDown tonight, The Miz will be placed in a match against Dolph Ziggler, and his Intercontinental Championship title is on the line. The Miz is not happy about this, describing the decision in a Facebook video as Daniel Bryan pulling a fast one on him and saying that Dolph Ziggler does not deserve another shot at the title. After demanding a contract negotiation, The Miz, Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon came to an agreement recently, and so we’ll likely learn the details of this new contract this evening.

Plus, last week on SmackDown, it was announced that John Cena, Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles will fight in a Triple Threat match to determine the WWE World Champion at No Mercy. Last week, Cena and Ambrose teamed up in a tag team match, but it ended with Ambrose betraying and assaulting Cena. This week, John Cena and Dean Ambrose will go head-to-head.

On the women’s division side of things, we’ll likely be seeing much more of Alexa Bliss, who last week earned the right to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at No Mercy. She didn’t wait long to go after Lynch, insulting the Irish Lass Kicker on Talking Smack immediately after the show.

“I’ve watched her for years,” Bliss said of Lynch. “I saw her walk in on her first day at NXT. I know her weaknesses. I know her flaws…And I know how to counter pretty much everything that she can do.”

Eva Marie’s suspension also just ended, so might we see her return tonight? Could she actually, finally make her debut? Finally, we’ll almost certainly see more of the feud between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt, more of Heath Slater and Rhyno, and perhaps even a role for the magnificent James Ellsworth.
