There was a time, not that long ago, that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. They won those titles from The Usos in dramatic fashion at WrestleMania but lost them to a different villainous group since — and they’d like to fix that tonight on WWE Raw in California.
After moving past The Bloodline, KO and Sami fought the good fight against The Judgment Day too, but their success ran out when Damian Priest and Finn Balor beat them for the titles. Priest and Balor had plenty of help from the rest of their team, so the question is whether anything will be different during the rematch with the roles of champions and challengers reversed.
We’ll also hear from Shinsuke Nakamura tonight. Though he failed to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins at Payback, he’s done a masterful job living rent-free inside the champion’s head since then. Rollins finally snapped last week and said they could have a rematch with Shinsuke picking the stipulation, which he may do tonight … or not, depending on how far he wants to keep stringing Rollins along.
Other things to watch for tonight on Raw:
- The Miz will welcome Drew McInyre to Miz TV, where surely nothing will go amiss and no one will try attacking anyone else
- Otis will take on Bronson Reed in a clash of two very large human beings
- Cody Rhodes is slated to open the show, and will probably ask us what we want to talk about
WWE had also been promoting an NXT North American Championship match between Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee. It wasn’t included in the Raw social media posts sent out Sunday, but that could very still be on the card as well.
As we do every week, we’ll have live WWE Raw results and updates beginning at 8 p.m. ET, so join us back here then if you aren’t able to watch tonight’s show.
