SmackDown Five-Point Preview: Dec. 20, 2013

Will the creepy Family overtake the strength of brothers?

CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, The Rhodes Brothers & The Usos vs. The Shield & The Wyatt Family - 12-Man Tag Team Match: Raw, Nov. 18, 2013

CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, The Rhodes Brothers & The Usos face The Shield & The Wyatt Family in an action packed main event on Raw Country.

As announced Monday on Raw, WWE Tag Team Champions Goldust & Cody Rhodes will square off against The Wyatt Family’s Luke Harper & Erick Rowan tonight on SmackDown. Coming off their decimation of Daniel Bryan at WWE TLC, the Wyatts look stronger — and creepier — than ever. The image of leader Bray Wyatt cradling the limp body of his fallen opponent will resonate with the WWE Universe for a long time and has served to further the ominous aura surrounding the terrifying trio.

But the tag champs are riding high in their own right, as the brothers Rhodes successfully defended their illustrious titles at Sunday’s pay-per-view in a WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match. And with WWE’s tag team division quickly becoming as good as it’s ever been, all eyes will be on this bout as the Wyatts look to enter into title contention.

A win over Cody & Goldust would go a long way in that regard — but is a win in the cards for the Wyatts?  Or will the reigning titleholders overcome their creepy opponents? Find out tonight at 8/7 CT, only on Syfy!

Will The Viper be struck on SmackDown?

Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton: Raw, Dec. 16, 2013

Daniel Bryan and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton clash in the main event of Raw.

Tonight, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton comes to SmackDown for the first time since his historic victory over John Cena at WWE TLC. After The Viper’s appalling display Monday on Raw — a display that included a low blow on Daniel Bryan and ended with an RKO of the Cenation leader, by the way — Orton will open the blue brand. But will he do so with a bang? And, for that matter, will there be someone standing in his way to fire back?

Witness history with these photos

Despite his pay-per-view win, the Face of WWE still seemingly has a chip on his shoulder, and he appears as vicious as ever. But there’s a growing list of Superstars ready and willing to knock said chip off The Viper’s shoulders — Cena and The Beard chief among them. One has to believe that one or both of those former champions will look for retribution tonight on the blue brand!

The "Total Divas" clash with the "Divas" on Raw.

With Brie scheduled in action against the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, emotions will unquestionably run high in what should be a classic Divas battle.

It also remains to be seen whether Nikki will be recovered enough to accompany her sister into action and what part the unpredictable AJ will play in the outcome.
