WWE SmackDown! Live preview, January 2: Watch online

Here is how you can watch the Jan. 2 edition of WWE “SmackDown! Live” via an online stream.

We have turned the calendar to 2018, and are set for an explosive edition of WWE SmackDown! Live this Tuesday night. As we inch closer to the Royal Rumble, there are some huge matches planned and you can watch it all online.

After winning a triple threat match over the duos of The New Day and Rusev and Aidan English, the team of Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin have earned a shot at the WWE SmackDown! Live Tag Team Championships. They will face The Usos for the titles LIVE on the USA Network. It should be interesting to watch, as the challengers hold a victory over the champions a couple of weeks ago. Can they score a win when it counts, or will they fall victim to the Uso Penitentiary?

Two weeks ago, Dolph Ziggler reclaimed the United States Championship and then subsequently abandoned it in the ring 48 hours later. As a result, an 8-man tournament was set up to crown a new champion. Bobby Roode has already advanced, after defeated former champion Baron Corbin, as has former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. Two quarterfinal matches remain, as Xavier Woods will face Aidan English, and Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder will collide in a battle of former friends. Who will advance in the United States Championship Tournament?

Date: Tuesday, Jan. 2,
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET

Also, WWE Champion AJ Styles will be in action as he faces Sami Zayn in a non-title match. Last week, Styles found himself on the losing end of a match against Kevin Owens. Now he seeks redemption against the other half of the obnoxious duo and will have to keep aware of Owens being around as well. The champion needs to get back on the winning track, as the Royal Rumble draws another week closer.
