UPDATED: WWE Championship Match For Day 1 PPV Now A Triple Threat

UPDATE: Seth Rollins won’t be the only person challenging for Big E.’s WWE Championship at Day 1. On tonight’s Raw, Kevin Owens managed to get himself inserted into the match for the January 1st PPV.

Owens was able to get in on the match by claiming he negotiated a deal with Adam Pearce that would see him get added to the match if he could beat Big E. When Rollins confronted Pearce about it, Pearce said that wasn’t true but Sonya Deville liked the idea. Owens continued to insist he was being added into the match, and Pearce and Deville eventually agree with it.

Owens then was able to bait Rollins to attacking him during the match, throwing the first shot as Rollins was on commentary. The referee called for the DQ and Owens was added to the match.
