WWE has updated their card for this Sunday’s Royal Rumble event. Two matches, previously featured as main card bouts, will now be taking place during the Royal Rumble Kickoff Pre-Show, beginning at 5E/2P.
Those matches are the WWE United States Championship match, seeing Rusev defending his title against former champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, and the Fatal 4-Way for the WWE Cruiserweight championship. The latter match will have Buddy Murphy attempt to retain against Kalista, Akira Tozawa, and Hideo Itami.
So if you were particularly interested in either of those matches, be sure to tune in for the Kickoff show this Sunday.
