After beating Big E by disqualification on Monday Night Raw, Kevin Owens has been added to the WWE Championship match at Day One.
Monday Night Raw opened with number one contender Seth Rollins announcing that he would face Big E for the WWE Championship at WWE Day One on January 1st.
However, later in the show, Rollins was confronted by a smug Kevin Owens, who revealed that if he was victorious in his non-title match against Big E in the main event of Raw, he would be added to the Day One match and it would become a triple threat.

Seth Rollins was on commentary for the bout between Owens and Big E, and obnoxiously cheered on the WWE Champion during the match. Owens eventually left the ring to attack Rollins, and it seemed he may be risking a loss by countout or allow Big E to get the upper hand and capitalize on a distraction.

However, it turned out to be part of a master plan that lured an incensed Rollins to get caught up in the moment and follow Owens back into the ring, attacking him to cause a win by disqualification.
Rollins was understandably beside himself when he realized what had happened, but the damage was done, and Owens was officially added to the WWE Championship match at Day One, making it a triple threat.
