2021 draft picks by WWE Raw went fully into effect during the post-Crown Jewel edition of the show, last week. New challengers for the WWE and Raw Women’s Championships were also determined on the night as we will be getting one of the title matches set for this week’s main event for Raw. Also, a heated confrontation is waiting between the WWE Champion and his challenger from the show that emanates from the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
WWE Champion Big E kicked off the new era for the red brand wondering who should be the next in line to challenge for his title. Seth Rollins, Rey Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and Kevin Owens came out to throw their names into the melee to set up a future Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match for a WWE Championship opportunity.

Seth Rollins capitalized on the opportunity by flipping Owens over the ropes and sending him crashing through a ladder outside the ring. Rollins then connected with a stomp on Bálor, clear the ring to climb the ladder, snatch the contract to finish the WWE Raw main event match in his favor.
Once the match was over, Seth Rollins had a confrontation with WWE Champion Big E who came out to congratulate his new challenger. The face-off ended on a tense note as Rollins avoided a handshake and cut a heel promo on his future title win. Now, WWE is promoting another confrontation between the two as The Visionary will once again try to one-up the champion.

WWE Raw Preview (01/11/21): Title Match set
Becky Lynch came around on WWE Raw season premiere with her new Raw Women’s Championship, claiming that she is the new face of the brand. Insisting that she was done with Bianca Belair, The Man claimed that it’s time for her to give an opportunity to someone new.
But Bianca Belair didn’t accept the idea as she wasn’t pinned by Lynch at Crown Jewel and she also defeated the then WWE Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair to win a title shot. Lynch told Belair to get to the back of the line and in reply, she was beaten down with some kendo stick shots.
Now, as per WWE’s announcement, WWE Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will have to defend her title against Bianca Belair in a singles contest, the Superstar she stole the Smackdown Women’s Title in just 27 seconds at SummerSlam 2021. Will we witness a new champion, tonight? Answers will be given on a brand new episode of WWE’s flagship show on the USA Network.
