Two new title matches announced for Royal Rumble

As expected tonight's Raw was all about building the upcoming Royal Rumble ppv with two new championship matches and new obstacles for Roman Reigns into his road to Wrestlemania.

First of all it was announced that Kalisto will get his rematch for the United States championship in the ppv. However it's highly unlikely that WWE creatives will let the title change happen 3rd time in 2 weeks.

Also The New Day will defend their Tag Team Championship against The Usos. A Divas title match is also expected to be added but hasn't been announced yet.

It was also revealed Roman Reigns who will be defending his World Heavyweight championship into the Royal Rumble will be entering the Rumble on #1 spot.

As if this wasn't enough for Reigns to handle, mr. McMahon decided that Roman will have to go through a handicap tag match against Sheamus, King Barrett, Rusev and WWE United States Champion Alberto Del Rio in Smackdown before reaching the Rumble.

Big Brock Lesnar segment planned for Raw, Finn Balor responds to Bullet Club rumours

As noted before there are lots of rumours going on about a 'Bullet Club' reunion on WWE as the 'Balor Club'.

WWE Champion Finn Balor recently addressed this rumour after his match against Semi Zayn in a WWE Live Event.

Balor said that he and his band created a club four years ago but it's not about what he is creating. It's about what every one backstage at NXT is creating.

Whatever does that mean is still not clear. Rumours of Balor Club emerging at Royal Rumble this Sunday are running wild. We'll keep you updated on this situation.

Big Brock Lesnar Segment planned for Raw

As we noted before Brock Lesnar will be featuring on tonight's episode of Monday night Raw. Making this mix more exciting WWE announced that Brock along with his Advocate Paul Heyman will be joining the 'Highlight Real' with Chris Jerricho:

Brock Lesnar has takenRoman Reignsto Suplex City before, but The Big Dog's brutal encounter with The Beast Incarnate on Raw last week was painful for multiple reasons.

Already facing an uphill battle by having to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against29 Superstars in the 2016Royal RumbleMatch, Reigns now also finds himself in the crosshairs of The Anomaly, a monster who will stop at nothing to ascend to the top of the sports-entertainment food chain. Whatever strategy Reigns had for this near-impossible title defense just went right out the window.

Following that savage display of aggression, Lesnar will appear on Chris Jericho's "The Highlight Reel" alongside Paul Heyman. What questions will Y2J have for The Beast and his calculating advocate? No matter what happens, The Big Dog will be watching. Believe that."

Both Paul Heyman and Jericho are considered one of the best mic workers in the business. And when they both share the ring at the same time then it's going to be worth watching.

Former World Champion removed from Royal Rumble, miss management at WWE Live Event

There was a management problem during yesterday's WWE Live Event in matinee in Chicago. The show started one hour later then schedule.

During the wait outside WWE Sent the NXT Champion Finn Balor out to meet the fans. He thanked them for coming.

Brock Lesnar added to upcoming WWE shows, WWE Diva reveals injury

WWE Diva Paige hasn't been seen in the WWE TV in recent shows. She last competed in 2015. She revealed in a latest interview that she has suffered a concussion.

She said that it's not very bad and she will be back in the ring soon:

"WWE has been absolutely great with the wellness program and wanting to make sure I'm back on my feet and completely healthy before getting back in the ring again,

I'm losing my mind because I'm not at work right now, so it's been a few straight weeks of not leaving the house. I do go to the PC and get back in the ring there and see the doctors to make sure I'm a good kid and taking as much ImPACT tests as I possibly can.

"I hope to get back in the ring soon. It's just a slight concussion. No big deal. Not a crazy one, but WWE is obviously very protective of their talent. I'm like, 'I'm fine. I promise.' They're like, 'No, we have to make sure you are 100 percent.' They are like parents."

Brock Lesnar announced for more WWE Shows

Brock Lesnar has been added to the active participants for next week's Raw. He will also be appearing on Next week's Smackdown.

Brock is currently the only realible big star left in WWE's roster who is not injured. That means we are going to see lots of Paul Heyman appearances with his client in upcoming weeks.

Big title match announced for Royal Rumble, Title Change takes place at Smackdown

Breaking the 2-3 weeks myth that WWE creatives are really caring about story lines again, we saw a big title change in this week's episode of Smackdown.

(Spoiler) WWE Superstar Kalisto lost his newly won WWE United States Championship to Alberto Del Rio.

It's notable that Kalisto won the championship on this past Raw. That makes his championship reign just 24 hours long. King Barret was in the ring side with Del Rio to help him win the title.

Also Kevin Owens accepted the challenge of Dean Ambrose for a 'Last Man Standing' match at Royal Rumble.

The match will be contested for the Intercontinental Championship. This is Owen's third title shot since losing the title to Ambrose.

Biggest Royal Rumble entrance revealed, big Title match announced for Smackdown

Lots of interesting developments were made on tonight's episode of WWE Raw. Along with a title match which will surely be a contestant of WTF moment Slammy of 2016.

First of all the biggest upset in recent months Kalisto defeated United States Champion Alberto Del Rio for US title.

While I do really like Kalisto, that makes the title less relevant as Alberto just won it 2 months ago. It means that we now have all face champions which Vince doesn't really like. That means we'll gonna be seeing another title change very soon.

After this it was announced that Alberto will be cashing in his rematch clause in tomorrow's Smackdown. Several Other matches were also announced for the show:

* The Dudley Boyz vs. The Wyatt Family in a Tables Match

*Neville and WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus and Kevin Owens

*Alberto Del Rio vs. WWE United States Champion Kalisto

Also Brock Lesnar made his anticipated return and made his claim on the current World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns after giving him an F-5.

While he certainly didn't announced his entrance in the Rumble by himself, Michael Cole made it for him saying that he thinks Brock is entering the Rumble.
