In last night’s Men’s Royal Rumble Match, Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe set aside their recent alliance in pursuit of main-eventing WrestleMania. Now that that’s out of the way, they’ll regroup and focus on their common enemies.
The pair will challenge recent tormentor Seth Rollins and his new acolyte, Buddy Murphy, for the Raw Tag Team Titles in a match that will test the strength of both impressive young alliances. For Rollins & Murphy, it’s a test to see if they can build off the improbable win over The Viking Raiders that made them champions. And, for Owens & Joe, it’ll go a long way toward showing whether this is a true partnership that can weather ups and downs or just a brief alliance of convenience.
