Sonya Deville vs. Naomi, New Day Bout Set For 1/28 WWE SmackDown

WWE has announced two noteworthy matches for the January 28 episode of WWE SmackDown, which will be the go-home show for the Royal Rumble premium live event.

First, WWE RAW star Big E will come over to the blue brand for the second consecutive week to reunite with his New Day stablemate, Kofi Kingston. The duo will face the team of Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss one week after Kingston defeated SmackDown’s resident jokester. After the bout, Big E dropped Moss with a Big Ending to send a message to his “happy” pal. All four men will aim to pick up some last-minute momentum ahead of WWE Royal Rumble.

Plus, after WWE official Sonya Deville has spent moments abusing her power in a bitter feud with Naomi, the two rivals will finally clash in a singles bout. WWE official Adam Pearce decided that Deville crossed the line when she “screwed” Naomi out of her match with SmackDown Women’s Charlotte Flair on Friday, so he recommended a bout between the two women to higher management, and the match was later confirmed. Deville has previously weaseled her way out of previous in-ring clashes with Naomi, and it’s unable if she’ll be able to do so next Friday.

The card for the January 28 episode of WWE SmackDown is as follows:

  • Sonya Deville vs. Naomi
  • The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) vs. Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin
