As we noted before Kevin Owens & Jason Jordan are dealing with some minor injuries. WWE isn’t using them at recent WWE Live Events as a precautionary measure. Both of them will still compete in their scheduled Title matches at this Sunday’s Royal Rumble 2018 PPV.
Jason Jordan & Seth Rollins will defend their Raw Tag Team Titles against The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus) and Kevin Owens will team up with Sami Zayn to face “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles for the WWE Championship in a 2 on 1 handicap match.
