SmackDown preview, Feb 28, 2017: Harper and Styles will battle to become the WWE Title No. 1 contender

Following a controversial ending to last week’s 10-Man Battle Royal, the question of who will challenge WWE Champion Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania is finally answered when Luke Harper takes on AJ Styles on SmackDown! LIVE tonight at 8/7 C.

ALSO:

• What will happen when John Cena comes to "Miz TV" tonight?

• Becky Lynch v. Mickie James -- 2 out of 3 falls match

• Dolph Ziggler v. Apollo Crews -- Chairs match

• PLUS MUCH MORE!

Rather excited for this tonight.

Why the fuck are they acting like AJ didnt hit first lol

Even with the new cam angle, Styles still lands first

The hair that clogs the shower

I've been drinking all evening. Personally I feel that would be better preperation for RAW but we are where we are.

A Show Time!!!

My wife has left 17 different tabs open with dogs for sale. I'm not sure if she is trying to hint at something.

Hopefully the crowd tonight is not as incredibly horrible as the one last night

Whats the point of these chairs.

The Miz has been oh so average in the ring for so damn long.

But his mic work has been incredible recently.

always completely space out whenever The Miz talks

You sold out chants..hmm

Miz is damn good at what he does.

A-Show right now.

Mix is right about what happened post-Mania and Cena's gimmick in general.

:lol: you sold out chants

It should be lets go cena cena sold out now

Even Smackdown's Talk segments are great to watch.

Miz is so good, fuck his haters.

Miz sounded like a dying dog

Miz full of passion and fire, acting like he is on John Cena's level

Heel Status

Smackdown's #1 = Miz

Raw's #1= Kevin Owens

Cena fake "accent" makes me want to throw up

Oh snap

Wow we are really geeting Nikki and Cena as a team at WM

Cena playing up to the 50/50 crowd is something Reigns needs to learn urgently.

Typical Cena promo about his "Hustle, Loyalty Respect". :roll:

Really great promos and segment

Uh, actually Flair GIFTED him the Figure 4, Cena, you stupid son of a bitch.

if i mute this (due to cena's voice/accent) will some1 tell me if he says anything important... way he talks is unbearable

damm CENA with the Tropic Thunder burn

Cena with the sick burns

Yup although to be fair its only because Nikki requested something with Cena for her big retirement match

Crowd now only chanting "CENA" with no "CENA SUCKS"

The Miz has really nice eyes.

It's not gay to say that. Fuck off.

Really great start to Smackdown and promos by both guys

Punch her Cena!

Her knee looks fine

Nikki: "Forget about the fact that you beat me with a pipe last week and cost me a big match...... YOU MESSED WITH MY MAN!"

I can't wait for Nakamura to show up

Harper vs Styles should be a classic. and 2 out of 3 falls becky vs mickie should be good too.

Don't really get that quote from Oprah the WWE used for Black History Month celebration.

Is she trying to imply those who don't stumble are because they don't do stupid things or take risks?

SD live already spitting fire in contrast to that 3hr shit show

Even the talking parts are exciting

List of things I never want to hear Mauro Ranallo say again:

- En Fuego

Becky bores the shit out of me. Just so bland. Missed the first segment which blows. Love Miz and Cena.

I was watching a break and checked out for a minute only to find out I'm back in time for another break.

I trust nothing important happened.

It's now March here.

Fuck off winter.

LOL indirect TNA reference. :lol:

Outsider wants winter gone. Meanwhile we never even had winter here this year.

Best 2 out of 3 Falls match in recent times is still Revival vs DIY because every fall legit felt like its own match. No sudden quick scores or pins and then drag out the final one.

They wouldn't DARE bury Becky and have her eat 2 straight falls, would they?

Also going to be on alert assuming there's a 3rd fall for any sign of shenanigans from Alexa.

Well, technically, March 1 is the start of meteorological spring, so he's right. Winter can fuck off.

Told you so.

For older ones under the "3 Stages of Hell" moniker, Triple H v. HBK @ Armageddon 2002 for the World Heavyweight Championship was AMAZING.

:heart: Becky Lynch

F the haters

That felt far too much like a normal 1v1 match rather than getting anything from the additional 2 out of 3 stipulation. Bit of a waste really.

Becky manages to both tap out and win according to the commentary

Decent match overall but didn't really need the special stip for it.

I heard that weakest fucking winter ever.

Harper's promos have been pretty good. Always assumed he'd been kept quite as part of the Wyatt Family for a reason but surprised. No Bray, obviously, but not as bad as I would have expected.

If he could nail the talking side of things, Harper could one day be very, very big.

Bray is gonna look like a Sting level dumbass after Orton betrays him

Feel bad for Bo Dallas, not even Bray considers him brother material anymore. Orton not only took over Harper's job as #2 Wyatt but also took Bo's spot as Bray's bro.

Hapus dydd Dewi Sant.

And all that.

:lol: if Natty just pulls a Nikki/Big Show with a sudden face turn OUTTA NOWHERE.

Already?

Clearly starting this now because of Trump

Has he done something now or is this just a general 'blame Trump' moment?

Not that it isn't justified.

I just looked it up.

Given my status as a politics and wrestling nerd, I'm torn.

Yeah, because Trump TOTALLY = RATINGS (and I'm not talking about The Apprentice)... :roll::roll::roll:

Fuck stupid Trump sheep,,,,,,

Crews is going to fucking main event tonight. Hell ya.

Linda McMahon sighting at the presidents meeting

I'm only watching to mock it.

Like RAW.

This match is gonna rock

pele on the floor

Wonder what the main event is

Really good match so far between Styles and Harper

Might be the Dokph/Crews chairs match.

List of things I never want to hear Mauro Ranallo say again:

- En Fuego
- Senton Atomica
- Tope Suicida

Yeah..... Harper really over with the crowd as well......

Lol

Is MAMA MIA still acceptable?

The refs decision last week was final..but not tonight

and here we go with Shane....

Dangit. AJ vs. Shane CONFIRMED

So AJ,Wyatt and Orton?

Did he say it? Def goes on The List.....

Baw Gawd Sweet Harper Music to Shane.

Lol maybe Harper vs styles

... ummm what.

Why even restart it if Styles still wins in the end.

Did we get Swerved just now?

Uhhh hmmmmm.....wonder what the story will be.

Harper vs Shane #1 contenders match!

Wonder if Tom Phillips has a raging boner right now

AJ and Bray fucking Wyatt. Hell ya.

That...was very unexpected.

Lol

Triple threat tag at mania.

Cena/Nikki vs Ellsworth/Carmella sounds really horrible for next week.
