THIS PAST SUNDAY AT THE ROYAL RUMBLE: Thanks to their recent meetings with Triple H, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn made their WWE returns in the Royal Rumble Match as free agents not signed to RAW or SmackDown Live!

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn believe they should be treated as good as WWE's other free agents, John Cena and The Undertaker. They believe that Shane McMahon robbed them of a WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania by sending out The Undertaker to specifically target Kevin.

The new WWE Champion Randy Orton likes John Cena's idea of a title rematch and has an idea of his own: to have two of the best Superstars in WWE history teaming up against Owens and Sami. They decline.
