Rumour: Huge betrayal waiting at WWE championship match in Royal Rumble

Bengaluru, Jan 28: The WWE Championship match is all set for the Royal Rumble PPV. As announced by Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles will defend it against both Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. It will be a handicapped match which will favour the heel friends. Going against the Smackdown commissioner, the GM has confirmed this contest.

For the past few weeks, the conflict between Shane and Bryan are going on over the favouritism that the latter one is showing to Owens and Zayn. These two have picked up pinfall wins over the champion via shenanigans outside the ring which made them the qualifiers for a title shot.

So, the GM did not hesitate to announce the match on Smackdown. However, it was unexpected that he will force the phenomenal one to go against two superstars at the same time and that too, in a match where the most prestigious title of the sports entertainment will be on the line.

Recently, stillrealtous.com provided an update about the potential happening during this match. This suggested that a massive shocker in-store in the contest which might cause AJ Styles to retain the title. According to the source, Kevin Owens will turn on against Sami Zayn to end their recent friendship.

It is an understandable move since every man competes for himself in a WWE Championship match. When it comes to Kevin Owens you cannot trust a heel like him. Plus, we should remember the bad blood that he previously had with Sami. So, the source provided the following update for the match,

“Wrestling fans know that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have a very long and interesting history together, and they’ve switched from being friends to enemies several times, so it seems that it’s only a matter of time before their friendship falls apart again.

With WrestleMania season right around the corner, it will be interesting to see what’s planned for Zayn and Owens, and who ends up playing the heel if their feud is rekindled.”

In case you don't know, both Owens and Zayn fought each other all around the world under the name of Kevin Steen and El Generico before coming to the WWE. They continued the feud even here on NXT and the main roster. Now, a potential match between these two at Wrestlemania, after the betrayal will be a proper culmination of this rivalry.
