As reported by Rajah.com's Mike Hogan during last night's episode of Monday Night RAW, the opening matchup featured a Tag Team Battle Royal to determine the new #1 Contenders for the RAW Tag Team Titles, currently held by AJ Styles and Omos. The Battle Royal featured The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar), who became the eventual winner, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods), John Morrison, T-BAR and MACE, Lince Dorado and R-K-Bro (Riddle and Randy Orton).
Both members of the Lucha House Party Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik were scheduled to be in the match and the WWE was even advertising both Dorado and Metalik for the Battle Royal until Monday afternoon, with Metalik himself even hyping and promoting the match on his Instagram on Monday afternoon as well but after WWE announced that Gran Metalik was injured, Lince Dorado worked the match on his own.
There is no word yet on what kind of injury Metalik is dealing with, but he did send out a tweet last night on RAW to Dorado that he will be back on RAW on next week's show. Metalik last competed for the WWE on the May 31st episode of RAW, when he and Dorado lost to T-BAR and MACE.
