The Usos invaded last night's episode of RAW to send a message to Seth Rollins ahead of his Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns next weekend at The Royal Rumble.

The former world champion was superkicked by the SmackDown Tag Team Champions following his match with Bobby Lashley which had already ended via disqualification following The Hurt Business' interference.

Rollins is now expected to head to SmackDown on Friday night to respond to Reigns, but who will The Visionary of Drip have in his corner?

Rollins has had many tag team partners throughout his career and still has a few friends, but could a common enemy be enough to unite the former WWE Champion with some interesting superstars?


#5. Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens are currently seen as friends on WWE TV

Kevin Owens is probably the only person in WWE who has a worse history with tag team partners than Seth Rollins. In recent months Owens and Rollins have found common ground and have been able to work together cohesively on RAW.

Last night on RAW, Rollins was the guest on The KO Show and Owens noted that Rollins was going to become Universal Champion and take the title back over to RAW if he is able to defeat Roman Reigns at The Royal Rumble.

Of course, Owens expects to be handed a shot at the Championship in the months that follow, but this is WWE, title matches can be contested between friends if handled correctly.

Owens has no issues stepping into someone else's fight and also has a long history with Roman Reigns. KO has been on the other end of a beatdown at the hands of The Bloodline so it's easy to imagine that Rollins will call upon the former Universal Champion to neutralize the threat of the trio on SmackDown.

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are former tag team partners, so Rollins should already know what the Tribal Chief's next move will be and be able to prepare for it.

#4. Becky Lynch could easily back up Seth Rollins since she was mentioned last week on SmackDown

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins share a daughter together and Roux is often on the road with the duo. This means that if Rollins is traveling to SmackDown on Friday night then it's likely that Roux and Becky Lynch won't be far behind.

Lynch was mentioned last week on SmackDown when Roman Reigns noted that she was the "megastar" in the relationship. This could be enough to see Lynch appear to back up her husband this week.

The Man has never been scared of stepping up to the men in the company and if Rollins and Reigns are in the ring having a back and forth then Lynch could easily handle The Usos.

Lynch was seen checking on her husband after he was attacked by a fan on a recent episode of Monday Night RAW, and it's likely that she would want to be on hand to make sure Rollins makes it out of SmackDown in one piece.

#3. Cesaro and Seth Rollins are best friends outside of WWE

Seth Rollins and Cesaro were most recently seen as rivals on WWE TV, but outside of the company, they are close friends.

The two men were once travel buddies and enjoyed the opportunity to work together last year. The Swiss Superman is yet to appear on TV since his loss to Sheamus and Ridge Holland back at WWE Day 1.

Rollins has a way of helping any superstar reach their potential in the company and since Cesaro has his own issues with Roman Reigns, he could be the ideal backup.

Cesaro and Reigns collided at WrestleMania Backlash when The Swiss Superman looked to win the Universal Championship, but like many others before him, he came up short. After the match, The Usos attacked Cesaro before Rollins ambushed the latter.

At present, several superstars have nothing to do on WWE TV and Cesaro would jump at the chance of working with his long-time friend once more.

#2. Sami Zayn could help Seth Rollins since he has unfinished business with Roman Reigns

Sami Zayn is another WWE Superstar who could team up with Seth Rollins in order to get even with Roman Reigns.

Whilst Zayn is currently in his own storyline with Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs heading into The Royal Rumble, he has unfinished business with Brock Lesnar and Reigns, since he was screwed out of his Universal Championship match.

Lesnar was able to interfere in the match and made sure that Zayn lost, which then gave The Beast the match at WWE Day 1, even though it didn't take place.

It's also well documented that Zayn and Rollins are good friends outside of WWE, so the former world champion could cash in a favor and ask for Zayn's assistance.

Given Zayn's character on WWE TV at present, it's unlikely that he will want to help either Rollins or Reigns. Since he already has some history with the Universal Champion, he could be persuaded to help Rollins in exchange for a future title opportunity.

#1. Finn Balor could help Seth Rollins in order to get even with Roman Reigns

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins have an interesting history in WWE. The two men have been both friends and enemies and could once again be on the same page this week on SmackDown.

Last night on RAW, Balor was defeated by Austin Theory as it was made clear that The Demon King is no longer seen as one of the top stars on the brand.

Balor's downfall began when he was betrayed by the top rope in his match against Roman Reigns back at Extreme Rules last year.

Balor was never able to exact revenge on Reigns and the culprit who cut the rope was never found. This remains one of WWE's biggest mysteries and it's clear that Balor's career will not get back on track unless he is able to overcome his own demons.

Helping Rollins get even with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline could allow Balor to assess his recent in-ring issues and find a new focus in his career.
