– Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder on this week’s SmackDown to advance to the second round of the WWE United States Title tournament. He will now face Bobby Roode with the winner going on to the finals at the Royal Rumble, facing the winner of Jinder Mahal vs. Xavier Woods.
Below is Fallout video of Dasha Fuentes talking to Mojo after the win. Mojo wonders why people say Roode is glorious and says he’s sick & tired of people just saying things to be saying them. Mojo says he acts when he says he’s going to do something because that’s how he is. He goes on about Ryder’s loss and says he hopes Roode has a little more fight in him than Ryder did because Ryder’s loss was just an embarrassment.
– The Undertaker was backstage for this week’s WWE SmackDown in Birmingham, Alabama, according to PWInsider. No word yet on why The Dead Man was there but it could have been to go over plans for his big TV return at the RAW 25th Anniversary show on January 22nd in New York City.
– As noted, Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in a 2 of 3 Falls Match is now official for the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Above is Fallout video of Dasha Fuentes asking The Usos about the match. The Usos say they were upset at first and feel they shouldn’t have to defend in a 2 of 3 Falls Match because they don’t have anything else to prove. They go on and say Gable & Benjamin can’t prepare for a team of brothers like they are. They end the promo by saying Gable & Benjamin better come correct at The Rumble.
