SmackDown Preview: Huge return after 9 years, The Fiend to take control of Daniel Bryan's ex-partner (January 17th, 2020)

#1. Roman Reigns takes on the returning Robert Roode in a tables match

Roman Reigns vs Robert Roode

Last week, the main event saw The Usos make their in-ring return against King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. Roman Reigns was ringside and caused a DQ after he speared Corbin at ringside. While the beatdown seemed to be going in his favor, it was the returning Robert Roode who made the difference - attacking Reigns from behind and assisting Corbin and Ziggler in sending him through a table.

Roode returned exactly a month after his suspension for violating WWE's Wellness Policy and he wasted no time in getting right back into the mix. Reigns is now set to take on Robert Roode in the latter's in-ring return and the stipulation is a tables match - making it an exciting one.

This is merely days before a ladders match on RAW between Rey Mysterio and Andrade. But before we get ahead of ourselves, this tables match is what you should be most excited about on SmackDown.

There's no doubt that King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, and The Usos are all going to be involved at ringside, which makes it somewhat fair since the numbers game is now even.
