Twitter reacts to SmackDown Live - January 23rd, 2018

The Royal Rumble go-home show of SmackDown Live laid the final foundations for the Royal Rumble feuds, including the Kevin Owens-Sami Zayn vs AJ Styles feud.

Styles faced Owens and Zayn in singles matches, back-to-back, and was victorious in one - against Owens - but lost his match against Zayn.

Here's what Twitter had to say about the various feuds and matches on SmackDown Live.

Owens and Zayn kicked off WWE SmackDown Live in their hilarious best...

Not a lot of people in WWE use their TV time better than Chad Gable. I'm an even bigger fan after every single segment he's in. #SDLive

I just saw some stuff in that Naomi/Liv Morgan match that, if the Young Bucks or Will Ospreay had done it, would have melted down 64% of wrestling Twitter. #SDLive
