SD LIVE Preview: Match 21, 2017: Is AJ Styles fired or heading to WrestleMania?

Following a vicious attack on SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon, what will ultimately be the fate of The
Phenomenal One? Plus, American Alpha will battle The Usos in a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match.

Is AJ Styles fired or heading to WrestleMania to face Shane McMahon?

Last Tuesday, after blaming Shane McMahon for having to “jump through hoops” in pursuit of a WWE Championship Match
at WrestleMania, AJ Styles ambushed the SmackDown LIVE Commissioner and hurled him through a car window.
As a result, SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan fired The Phenomenal One and kicked him out of the building.
However, as the blue brand was about to conclude, a battered Shane-O-Mac emerged to make the emphatic statement, “AJ Styles
says he doesn’t have an opponent at WrestleMania … he does now.”
So, is Styles gone for good? Or will he be heading to The Ultimate Thrill Ride to take on Shane McMahon? Find out tonight
at 8/7 C on SmackDown LIVE.

American Alpha to defend the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against The Usos tonight

SmackDown Tag Team Champions American Alpha are “Ready, Willing and Gable” to take on all comers.
However last week, with only three episodes of SmackDown LIVE left before The Ultimate Thrill Ride, The Usos scored a huge
non-title over Chad Gable & Jason Jordan. As a result, WWE.com has learned that American Alpha will defend their titles against
Jimmy & Jey tonight on SmackDown LIVE!
Who will walk onto The Grandest Stage of Them All with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Will John Cena and Nikki Bella or The Miz and Maryse emerge as SmackDown LIVE’s A-List couple?

Last week, John Cena & Nikki Bella challenged The Miz & Maryse to a Mixed Tag Team Match at The Showcase of the Immortals,
but who will prove they are the true A-list couple of the blue brand? And one week after scrambling into the crowd to avoid a
confrontation, will Miz and his dangerous bride attempt to regain some momentum just two weeks before The Ultimate Thrill Ride?

Who will survive the mind games en route to The Ultimate Thrill Ride?

Randy Orton may have burned down The Wyatt Family Compound, but WWE Champion Bray Wyatt has apparently returned more powerful
than ever after being baptized in the ashes of Sister Abigail. But, as The New Face of Fear and The Viper prepare to engage at
WrestleMania, who will win the war of intimidation between these two absolute masters of psychological warfare?

What will happen when Ambrose & Corbin clash again?

Baron Corbin injured Dean Ambrose in a Forklift assault two weeks ago and sent him out on a stretcher. The Lone Wolf appears
to be on the hunt for The Lunatic Fringe’s Intercontinental Championship and to destroy his adversary permanently. Ambrose is
never one to back down from a fight and will most certainly return to get retribution, so is SmackDown LIVE prepared for the
all-out destruction that will occur when these two Superstars brawl again? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.
