Updated Royal Rumble Card: Tag Title Match, 4 New Entrants, More

Here is the updated Royal Rumble card after tonight’s Raw.

– Cesaro and Sheamus vs. Gallows and Anderson for the Raw Tag Team Titles was announced for the Kickoff Show, which will begin at 5 PM ET. The “actual” PPV starts at 7 PM ET.

– Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax was also announced for the Kickoff Show.

– Shawn Michaels was announced as a “special guest” on the Kickoff Show.

– A “no disqualification” stipulation was added to the Owens vs. Reigns match.

The card is very Raw-heavy and the Kickoff Show will be two hours, so it seems like they might add a SmackDown title match or two on the Kickoff Show.

– Big Show was announced on Twitter prior to the show.
– Sami Zayn “earned a spot” after defeating Seth Rollins, taking Rollins’s spot and removing him from the match for now.
