Last week on SmackDown Live, a WWE Championship match was booked by the show's general manager Daniel Bryan for the Royal Rumble on January 28 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.The Royal Rumble match card is starting to fill up, as so far, the matches at the Rumble include the men's and women's Royal Rumbles, the final of the United States Championship tournament, and the triple threat between Brock Lesnar, Kane, and Braun Strowman for the Universal title.After the main event of SmackDown, Bryan booked another match for the show, as AJ Styles will defend his WWE Championship in a 2-on-1 handicap match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn at the Rumble at the end of this month.This will be The Phenomenal One's toughest challenge yet since he defeated Jinder Mahal to win the WWE title on the November 7 episode of SmackDown Live in Manchester, England, the second time which he has won the title since joining the WWE in 2016.Following the announcement of the match, The Prizefighter and The Underdog from the Underground have reacted to their match against the WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble at a recent WWE live event in Jackson, Mississippi, sending a bold message to Styles and Shane McMahon.As you can see in the video below, Owens started off by saying at the Royal Rumble he and his tag team partner are finally getting what they deserve, a fair shot at the WWE Championship.The Prizefighter also took another shot at Shane by saying he and Sami have been battling the numbers game for a while now and Shane was the one to blame for all this confusion and disruption.The former Universal Champion finished off by praising Bryan, saying he's very sensible and a great man, as well as saying himself and Zayn will take the WWE title away from Styles because they are better than The Phenomenal One.

This is a very interesting match at the Royal Rumble, as not only will Styles have to defend his title against two superstars, but it will also be interesting to see who will pin the WWE Champion to win the title if the opportunity presents itself? Owens or Zayn?

This could lead to the split of Owens' and Zayn's friendship as they couldn't decide between themselves who should win the title, allowing Styles to pin one of them unexpectedly to retain. Either that or the two SmackDown superstars are going to start using the Freebird rule for their team so they can both be WWE Champion.
