Several Changes To The Royal Rumble Go Home Episode Of WWE Raw

Last week's episode of WWE Raw saw a last minute change, as well as additional changes.

Originally, Carmella was scheduled for a match with Bianca Belair early in WWE Raw, which was changed before the show to a Zelina vs. Bianca Belair match. Instead, Carmella ended up teaming with Tamina and Nikki A.S.H. to take on Rhea Ripley, Dana Brooke and Liv Morgan. We weren't given any reason for the change, but were told that it happened on short enough notice to where it wasn't reflected internally near the start of the show.

The match was used as a promotional tool for the Royal Rumble match.

Seth Rollins was also slated to be on commentary for a match during the show at one point, but that didn't end up happening. In addition, there were plans to run the Rumble By The Numbers feature, that instead appeared on social media.
