From there, it's over to Saudi Arabia. WWE is believed to be monitoring the situation in the nation ahead of Crown Jewel 2022 (04:51), as Saudi officials warn the United States government of the threat of an imminent "attack."

Finally, we hit a lighter note, going over the big segment scrapped from this week's episode of WWE Raw (08:51), which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
