WWE's first pay-per-view of 2021, the Royal Rumble, is now less than three weeks away, with last night's Raw bringing a handful of new additions to the card.

The most notable involves WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. His match with Goldberg is now official after McIntyre accepted the challenge thrown down by the WCW legend last week, doing so in pre-recorded promo.

Testing positive for COVID-19 prevented Drew from attending last night's show in person, meaning an advertised non-title bout with Randy Orton had to be scrapped. On top of the Goldberg promo, he cut another urging fans to stay safe through the ongoing global health crisis, while Orton ended up fighting Triple H instead.
