It's over to WWE Raw after that, as one of the brand's struggling stars looks set for another repackaging (04:55), with significant tweaks coming to a character that hasn't gotten off the ground since arriving on the main roster.

From there, we talk about the King of the Ring and Queen's Crown tournaments (06:51). The finals were set on last night's Raw - and the matches are booked for Crown Jewel 2021.
