Powell’s POV: Vince McMahon removed Braun Strowman from the WWE Championship match and he was eventually replayed by Finn Balor on Raw. WWE added Kalisto and Mickie James to the Royal Rumble matches since our last update. R-Truth and Carmella won the Mixed Match Challenge to earn the No. 30 spots in their respective Rumble matches.
