Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax added to Royal Rumble pre-show

After the addition of Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson to the Royal Rumble kickoff show was announced earlier in the night, another match was added to Sunday’s pre-show on tonight’s episode of Raw.

Sasha Banks will face Nia Jax on the show as the Raw women’s division gets another match at the Alamodome. Bayley challenging Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women’s Championship is also scheduled for the Royal Rumble.

The match was announced after Banks stood tall over Jax as she attacked her with a crutch before hitting her with flying knees to the outside. The two have been programmed together in a storyline lately, including an angle where Jax attacked Banks before last week’s Raw went on the air.

With the two-hour kickoff show and expanded four-hour main card, the Royal Rumble lineup should at least mostly be rounded out on tomorrow’s SmackDown. If SmackDown adds a women’s match to the card, it will be a rare pay-per-view with more than two women’s division matches.

It was also announced on Raw that the Universal Championship match between Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns on Sunday would now be a no disqualification match in addition to Chris Jericho being suspended above the ring in a shark cage.
