Considering the chaos that occurred between all three Superstars and Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair last week on SmackDown and during this week’s Raw, the chances of bedlam are… well, better than average.
The finals of both tournaments will also take place at Crown Jewel on Thursday, October 21, 2021, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Fahd International Stadium. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar will likely headline this show that airs on Peacock at 12 PM ET/9 AM PT.
