WWE Rumor Roundup: Legendary tag team reuniting after 5 years at Royal Rumble, Plans changed for Liv Morgan - 3rd January 2020

#5. Kairi Sane update

Kairi Sane, who has been out of action due to a concussion suffered during the main event of TLC, is widely expected to return to action at the Royal Rumble.

The ever-so-reliable Tom Colohue revealed in his new YouTube video that Sane will undergo an assessment before the show and the company expects her to clear the test and be a part of the Women's Royal Rumble match.

The plan is still to give her (Kairi Sane) an assessment before the Royal Rumble, to check if Kairi Sane can be involved in that match. The opinion backstage is quite high. They find it very likely that she will appear at the Royal Rumble, probably get a nice pop. If she doesn’t, not the worst thing in the world, because Asuka is already in the match, so they don’t need the Tag Champions.

#4. Paul Heyman behind Liv Morgan's return

The latest episode of RAW ended with the return of Liv Morgan, who showed up and revealed herself to be the love interest of Lana.

WrestlingNews.co reports that the plan was never to insert Liv Morgan into the storyline and she was just brought back by Paul Heyman to give her a push in a top angle on TV.

The report also states that Vince McMahon is quite happy as the wedding segment, which went into overtime, did solid numbers. The WWE Boss has a penchant for doing crazy stories such as this, but he has had to maintain a balance to please the USA Network officials as well as the sponsors.

This time around, Vince McMahon got what he wanted and that's kept him in a good mood.
