WWE Raw will present the final edition before Crown Jewel 2021, this week with a loaded lineup waiting for the show. The episode also marks the end of co-branded shows, for now. It comes with a main event match where Raw Women’s Championship will be on the line. The red brand semi finale of King of the Ring and Queen’s Crown tournaments will also be on the card as the show emanates from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
During this past episode of SmackDown, it was announced that WWE Raw will be headlined by Charlotte Flair as she will be defending the RAW Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair. Now, obviously, we can expect the presence of SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks on the show as these two are booked to compete in a Triple Threat at Crown Jewel alongside Bianca Belair.
Another solid main event for WWE Raw has been announced where a tag team action will feature WWE Champion Big E and Drew McIntyre teaming up against the Dirty Dawgs – Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. This match comes just days before E and McIntyre lock horns for the WWE Championship at Crown Jewel.
Last week, E and McIntyre looked forward to keeping aside their differences and feature in a tag team action against SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos but it didn’t have a happy ending. The Usos won that match after which McIntyre took the WWE Champion to the Claymore Country to send him a stern warning. Hence, E will obviously look forward to seeking redemption against McIntyre.

This past week on SmackDown, the duo lost in a Street Fight against The Usos where the tag titles were on the line. Now, The Profits will battle WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Randy Orton and Riddle in a non-title match. A win could certainly put these two on the title hunt.
