AJ Styles Vs. Kevin Owens And Sami Zayn In A Handicap Match Announced For WWE Royal Rumble

AJ Styles will have a tough time ahead of him at the Royal Rumble, as he's facing not one, but two people gunning for him and him only.

At the end of tonight's Smackdown, General Manager Daniel Bryan made the match, AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, after Styles said he might as well be in a handicap match after Owens got involved during Smackdown's main event, which pitted Styles against Zayn.

Zayn picked up a win after Daniel Bryan told Shane McMahon, who was at ringside, that he should leave the ring. Distracted, Zayn nailed Styles with the Helluva Kick and pinned him. This is the second time that Styles has been pinned in the last two weeks, as Kevin Owens picked up the win last week on Smackdown pretty much in the same manner, with Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon bickering.

The Royal Rumble will take place on January 28 in Philadelphia. Be sure to stick to Fightful as we'll have full coverage and a post-show podcast after the event.
