SmackDown Five-Point Preview: Dec. 28, 2012

Will The Awesome One turn ‘The Showoff’?

The Miz tries to find the reasoning behind the recent actions of AJ Lee, Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston.

AJ Lee came to “Miz TV” on SuperSmackDown LIVE 10 days ago, with Dolph Ziggler and her powerful friend Big E Langston at her side. The controversial Diva and her new boyfriend explained exactly why she turned on John Cena and chose to go with The Showoff, before Big E put the explanation point on her message by taking down the Awesome host in painful fashion.

Tonight, four days after he and Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston scored an impressive tag team victory over Wade Barrett & United States Champion Antonio Cesaro on Raw, Miz will look to get retribution on Mr. Money in the Bank in a one-on-one showdown. But will it truly be a one-on-one battle?

Has Sheamus earned himself another huge World Title Match?

Chaos erupts inside and outside the ring following the Lumberjack Frost Match between Sheamus and World Heavyweight Champion Big Show.

This Monday on Raw, in the first-ever Lumber-Jack Frost Match, Sheamus overcame World Heavyweight Champion Big Show with White Noise.

In light of his incredible feat of strength and his gigantic non-title victory over The World’s Largest Athlete, has The Celtic Warrior earned himself another opportunity at the giant’s championship gold?

Will ‘Hell’ freeze over in a heated Six-Man Tag Team Match?

Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow get their WWE Tag Team Title Match against Kane & Daniel Bryan.

Last week, WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No overcame Team Rhodes Scholars in a title match on the WWE Main Event and joined with Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston to overcome Wade Barrett & The Prime Time Players on SuperSmackDown LIVE.  

Tonight, they will join forces with Kingston once again to face the combined assault of The Barrett Barrage and Team Rhodes Scholars. Caution is advised. The increased threat of the opposition appears to be getting organized. But will it be enough to conquer the dominating titleholders?  

What will Del Rio’s resolution be after being bested by Santa?

Alberto Del Rio kicks off Raw in an unusual and unfortunate way by hitting Santa Claus with his car.

On Raw, Alberto Del Rio put the brakes on Santa Claus’ Christmas Eve gift-giving by accidently mowing down the jolly symbol of the holiday season with his car. Claiming it was an accident, Del Rio went on to fall to John Cena in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight Match — after Cena utilized a slew of gifts, including some “Saint Socko” help from a recovered Saint Nicholas himself, to help set up the victory.

How will The Mexican Aristocrat bounce back from such humiliation and grab some new-year momentum? 

Will The Shield end 2012 with a bang?

The Shield provide choice words for some WWE Superstars and welcomes them to "The Shield of Justice."

The year 2012 will be remembered for many things, but one of the most impactful has got to be the emergence of The Shield. Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns have attacked everybody from Ryback to Team Hell No to Randy Orton. But will they end the year of their emergence with a bang?

And what will 2013 bring for the rogue faction?
