LAST WEEK ON SMACKDOWN LIVE: Before the WWE United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, could celebrate his championship victory, R-Truth crashed the celebration. Nakamura responded by clocking R-Truth with a cheap shot that set off a brawl that Truth got the better of!

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

R-Truth makes it clear that while he loves to have fun, he could still get the job done better than anyone and Shinsuke Nakamura is about to learn that lesson the hard way when Truth leaves him laying and takes his United States Title. At that point, Nakamura appears on the Titantron in the backstage area cornering Carmella and telling her what he's got in store for Truth which prompts him to run to her aid.

TWO WEEKS AGO ON SMACKDOWN LIVE: Against his better judgment, Shane McMahon agreed to be The Miz's tag team partner!

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

The Miz has a message for The Bar: He is giving the opportunity to defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against Shane McMahon and himself at the Royal Rumble. The Bar aren't grateful to face an “untested, uncoordinated dysfunctional duo with daddy issues,” but then swiftly accepted The Miz's challenge. Sheamus provokes Miz into launching an attack on “The Celtic Warrior” in a brawl that Sheamus gets the better of.
