Potential Spoiler Alert: Shinsuke Nakamura Rumored as Surprise Partner for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on WWE RAW This Week
In a highly anticipated six-man tag team match scheduled for this week’s episode of RAW, WWE has piqued fans’ curiosity by teasing a mystery partner for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as they face off against Imperium. As the go-home episode before the Night of Champions event on May 27th, this matchup carries significant implications for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles.
The latest development comes from a tweet by BWE (Behind the Wrestling Empire), who shared a tweet from WWE asking fans to speculate on the identity of Owens and Zayn’s mystery partner. While BWE did not provide a direct comment, they included an explosion emoji, suggesting something significant.
Shortly after, BWE tweeted again, stating, “As of draft 1. It’s Shinsuke.” This revelation comes as a surprise since it goes against the prevailing belief that Drew McIntyre would fill the role of the mystery partner.
While the return of Drew McIntyre has been highly anticipated, his appearance on this week’s RAW was never officially confirmed. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that McIntyre’s injury status had been cleared, and he awaits the right creative opportunity for his return.
Interestingly, McIntyre’s contract situation with WWE remains an intriguing topic. Reports indicate that he still needs to sign a new deal, and his current contract is set to expire at the end of this year. The coming months will shed light on the direction his career takes.
As fans eagerly await this week’s RAW episode to unveil the surprise partner alongside Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, the potential involvement of Shinsuke Nakamura adds an exciting twist to the mix. The anticipation continues to build, and only time will tell how this surprise will unfold.
