As noted last week, Roman Reigns will not only compete in the 2020 Royal Rumble match but also in a second contest on that same night. Over on SmackDown, he continued the feud against Baron Corbin and set up yet another battle with him. Thus the second PPV match of this rivalry will culminate on January 26th.
Roman Reigns appeared on SmackDown, last night before the main event match went down with the lineup of The Usos vs. Corbin and Ziggler.
The latter duo arrived at ringside trying to talk trash about The Bloodline that is the brotherhood of Reigns and Usos to infuriate them. The Big Dog could not think of a better idea to solve the issue but to go against war with his current rival.
No more mind games. @WWERomanReigns will get his hands on King @BaronCorbinWWE one-on-one at #RoyalRumble! https://t.co/iotsMEU800

On the second FOX edition of SmackDown, Roman Reigns issued a challenge to King Baron Corbin for a singles contest at the Rumble pay-per-view.
The challenge was accepted as quickly as possible by Corbin who also revealed that he will be in the Rumble Match. On the other hand, Reigns declared last week that he will also be competing in the prestigious match.
Thus, both Roman Reigns and King Corbin will pull off double duties at Royal Rumble 2020. Earlier to this, Reigns entered the 2017 edition of the Rumble match even after competing at the Universal title match to be seen on two occasions on a single night.
