7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Possible bad news about Edge's return, Unexpected WrestleMania match confirmed? (January 3rd, 2020)

#5. No allies for Kevin Owens?

The story of the past couple of weeks has been about Kevin Owens having to fight his battle on his own. Last week, he teamed up with Samoa Joe in a RAW Tag Team Championship match.

Unfortunately for him, Samoa Joe suffered a concussion and was forced to be removed from the match. Owens ended up having to finish the match on his own, with the numbers game unsusprisingly catching up to him.

This week, it was a similar story. He teamed with The Viking Raiders against Buddy Murphy and AoP in a six-man elimination tag team match. Erik was eliminated first after an assist from Seth Rollins and Ivar had to pull out of the match due to an injury.

Despite this, Owens somehow racked up two eliminations before the numbers game caught up to him again. And from the look of things, Rey Mysterio nor Aleister Black will be joining his fight.

The story seems to be that Owens has to do it on his own. That could be a big push for him as a babyface.
