New Match Added To The Royal Rumble

Two men will work double duty at the rumble.

Tonight on Friday Night Smackdown a challenge was laid out and accepted for a match at the Royal Rumble as Roman Reigns will square off against King Corbin. The two will not only have this match but are entered into the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble match the same night.

The match itself as stated was set up on Smackdown when Reigns said he wanted to “Kick Corbin’s ass” twice on Sunday. He then made the challenge for the Royal Rumble and Corbin agreed to the match.

Before Roman Reigns and King Corbin enter the Royal Rumble Match for an opportunity to earn a World Championship Match at WrestleMania, the two fierce rivals will once again battle in a one-on-one bout.

Week in and week out, the conflict between The Big Dog and WWE’s resident monarch has grown more and more brutal, from Corbin humiliating Reigns by handcuffing him to the ring post and covering him with dog food to Reigns costing Corbin an opportunity at the Universal Championship to a frenetic Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match to all the chaotic brawls in between.

After The Usos returned to help neutralize Corbin and Dolph Ziggler’s two-on-one assault on their cousin, Corbin accused his foe of “hiding” in the Royal Rumble Match just because he’s scared of another conflict with him. In response, the former World Champion proposed that before entering the high-stakes matchup, they battle in a one-on-one showdown so that he could beat his adversary twice in one night.

The 2020 Royal Rumble comes to us from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas on January 26th live on the WWE Network.
