5 things RAW got right on the episode before Royal Rumble

#3 Humberto Carrillo’s return

Andrade was set to defend his United States Championship against Rey Mysterio in a Ladder Match just days before the Royal Rumble.

Mysterio showed a lot of determination and managed to get the better of El Idolo early on in the match. He carried on the momentum and hit a 619 followed by a huge Senton before turning his attention to the title hanging above the ring.

However, Zelina Vega got in his way and did not allow him to get to the title. The distraction proved to be enough for Andrade to send The Master of the 619 through a ladder and climb up to retain the title.

After the match, Vega set up the concrete floor for Andrade to DDT Mysterio. However, a masked Humberto Carrillo appeared and made the save, making the US Champion run up the ramp.

This was a good way to possibly end the rivalry between Mysterio and Andrade and restart the one between El Idolo and Carrillo. It’ll be interesting to see if the two men come face to face during the Royal Rumble match, and we could get the best action from these two men in the weeks to come.
