On the final episode of Smackdown before this Sunday’s Royal Rumble, John Cena and AJ Styles took their promo game to the next level. Mickie James explained her actions and the Wyatt Family suffered a casualty. Also, James Ellsworth got a makeover and we saw the annual everyone jump in the ring to get us hyped for the Rumble spot.

While this didn’t feel nearly as epic as last night’s ending of RAW, there were some good moments.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the night that was in the WWE.

“Does this mean YOU’LL marry me?” – Nikki Bella
“Uh…” – AJ#SDLive
Great promos by both guys. Cena’s anti Southern, anti indies rant will not sit well with REAL graps fans at Rumble, Mania.
