A few matches for Royal Rumble is still supposed to be announced despite the PPV being just a few days away. Both the next episodes of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown will be serving as the go-home episodes for the Sunday night show as we can expect a couple of new matches to be confirmed if the creative team does intend so.
According to what Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there are still a few matches in the pipeline to be revealed for Royal Rumble. Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship was the original planning for the PPV which may not happen as these two will be in the 30-man Royal Rumble match.
Unless the officials want then to pull off double duties, The Monster among Men will have to wait a little longer to get his title shot for the mid-card title. This match was about to happen for the WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target Center last month. Strowman’s injury has pushed back the program.
Rumor Killer On Kane Vs. The Fiend Inferno Match
WWE has also been building for an Andrade vs. Humberto Carrillo match for Andrade’s United States Championship. Carrillo has been out of action after Andrade’s attack on Raw, a few weeks ago. Now he may be waiting to make a return and claim his title shot and thereby trying to build himself as Mexican babyface player on the roster.
Another Big Return Reportedly Confirmed For WWE Royal Rumble 2020 Match
Another match is being discussed after what has been transpiring on SmackDown over the past few weeks. It looks like the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match between New Day and Miz & John Morrison will be confirmed, soon. We might get confirmation on this match at the upcoming episode of SmackDown on January 24th.
