A change is being made to Monday's WWE Raw
Mike Johnson at PWInsider is reporting that the Roman Reigns Acknowledgment Ceremony scheduled for WWE Raw XXX on January 23 is being changed.
According to the report, the Acknowledgment Ceremony will be replaced with the Trial of Sami Zayn. The reported change is due to the fallout from WWE SmackDown where Reigns was displeased with Sami wanting to be in on his plans regarding Kevin Owens and looking further displeased when Sami was nowhere to be found when Owens attacked Reigns during the contract signing.
The Acknowledgment Ceremony was set to include generations of the Bloodline including Rikishi and Samu.
WWE would later confirm the change.
Here is the advertised lineup for WWE Raw XXX:
WWE Raw (1/23)
- Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Ric Flair, The Bellas, Kurt Angle, Road Dogg, X-Pac, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Theodore Long, and more set to appear
- RAW Tag Team Championship: The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) (c) vs. The Judgment Day (Dominik Mysterio & Damian Priest)
- WWE United States Championship: Austin Theory (c) vs. Bobby Lashley
