WWE News: Two Big Matches to be Announced for Royal Rumble

With WWE cutting down the number of PPV in the fall of this year, Raw will not host any of the Raw-exclusive PPVs, for now. Following the Survivor Series PPV, the next-in-line big event for the flagship show will be the Royal Rumble event. It will also be the first dual-brand show for the year 2018 on January 28th.

While Smackdown Live is gearing up for the brand exclusive PPV, Clash of Champions in December, Raw is preparing for the show that will kick things off for the Road to Wrestlemania season. The flagship show has been continuing the momentum following up the 31st edition of Survivor Series with some big-time rivalries on the show. Banking on which we might get a couple of matches at the next co-branded PPV in line.

The main event scene is featuring two big giants for weeks now. Kane has been involved in a rivalry against Braun Strowman on the show ever since the return of the Demon in October. He has targeted the monster among men claiming he is the only monster present in the WWE. However, Strowman has something else on his mind who keeps on counter-attack the Big Red Machine.

Another marquee feud will involve the franchise player of the company. Roman Reigns has won the Intercontinental Championship from The Miz to send the latter one on a hiatus and is expected to feature on the main event scene, for sure. As for his opponent over the title, Samoa Joe is the most appropriate name, for now after the massive assault he delivered on the champion, two weeks ago.

So, quite expectedly, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggested two big matches will be announced, soon. Kane vs Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe for the IC title will be made official for the Royal Rumble event. The official announcement is likely to come up in time for the dual brand event.

With Brock Lesnar being absent from the show, the IC title is supposed to carry forward WWE Raw. Apparently, this might be the reason as of why Roman Reigns is holding the championship and is likely to hold it heading into 2018.
