Two matches have been made official for the WWE SmackDown’s Royal Rumble go-home show next week.
Sonya Deville will make her true return to the ring against Naomi on the show while The New Day’s Big E & Kofi Kingston will face Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss.
For the past few months, Deville has been feuding with Naomibut has refused to face her one-on-one as she said Naomi isn’t allowed to touch her when she’s working in her role as an on-screen authority figure. This has led to Sonya abusing her power and doing so on Friday’s show where she was the referee for Naomi’s non-title match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. Naomi had Flair beat, but Deville refused to count the pin.
Flair later put Naomi in the Figure Eight and Deville called for the bell before Naomi tapped out.
Big E, a top star on Raw, appeared on SmackDown to be in Kingston’s corner for his match against Moss. Post-match, Big E challenged Corbin to come into the ring and when that didn’t happen, he gave Moss the Big Ending and said it was for Corbin.
