WWE SmackDown Results January 17th, 2020: Winners, Grades, Video Highlights for latest Friday Night SmackDown
Kane kicked off SmackDown live and started talking about Royal Rumble and how much it means to him. Bray Wyatt interrupted him and showed us that Ramblin' Rabbit was recovering, before showing up in the ring as The Fiend. Kane asked what took him so long before Daniel Bryan attacked The Fiend, as it turned out that Kane and Bryan were working together.
The Fiend escaped but Bryan stole some of his dreadlocks. Backstage, Bryan challenged him to a Strap match at Royale Rumble so Wyatt couldn't run away.
