What Led to WWE Title Matches
The tag team title scene of “Monday Night Raw” got shaken up when Jey and Jimmy Uso announced that they would be returning to the division. Their tag team return got off to a hot start with a win over Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day. The victory earned The Usos a shot at the gold.
As for Vaquer, she was recently in the midst of a title defense against Rodriguez when Bella attacked both performers. This was in retaliation to Rodriguez ambushing Bella the week prior. Vaquer requested the triple threat match during a backstage segment with “WWE Raw” general manager Adam Pearce.
In total, “Monday Night Raw” is set for five total championship matches over the next two weeks. The Jan. 5 episode of “Raw” will be headlined by a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between titleholder CM Punk and Bron Breakker.
