5 things RAW got right on the episode after the Royal Rumble (January 27, 2020)

#2 Seth Rollins & Buddy Murphy’s titles

How long will this partnership last?

Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe were not looking to bow down to the Monday Night Messiah as they decided to confront Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy again.

Authors of Pain, who were backstage, were taken out by The Viking Raiders in hopes of making the match fair and allowing KO and Joe to fight the two heels without any interruptions.

While KO and Joe were doing a great job, a suicide dive by The Samoan Submission Machine from the ring to the outside on Murphy seemed to have injured the Superstar.

The medical staff had to take Joe out of the match, forcing KO to fend for himself. A big Frog Splash to Rollins almost allowed him to win the RAW Tag Team Championships, but the Monday Night Messiah kicked out.

Murphy managed to roll up KO for the count of three, retaining the titles for his team. This was a good tag team match that helped establish the rivalry between these two teams while allowing KO to come out strong even in defeat.

We hope that Joe is fine and will be competing again soon, and it’ll be great to watch the babyfaces take away the titles from Rollins and Murphy down the line.
