Adam Pearce is the current General Manager of WWE RAW. As the Stamford-based promotion heads toward Crown Jewel 2024, the current landscape of RAW is also being shaped with that event in mind. Tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW will not be live, as it was taped last week due to the company's tour of Europe.

In this article, we will discuss four things the RAW General Manager could announce on this week's episode of the red brand.


#4. Adam Pearce could announce a tag team tournament

One of the things Adam Pearce could announce on tonight's episode of RAW is a tag team tournament for the World Tag Team Championship. Currently, Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh hold the titles, and their recent feud with Damian Priest seems to be paused.

With this in mind, WWE could now concentrate on Bálor and McDonagh as Tag Team Champions, potentially leading to Adam Pearce announcing a tournament to crown the number one contenders. This could result in The Judgment Day defending their Tag Team Titles at Crown Jewel 2024.

For those unaware, Crown Jewel 2024 is WWE's upcoming premium live event, set to air live on Saturday, November 2, 2024, from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.


#3. Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed could be announced for Crown Jewel

The rivalry between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed is amplifying each week, and on tonight's show, Adam Pearce could announce Rollins vs. Reed for Crown Jewel. On last week’s RAW, The Visionary issued a warning to Bronson Reed, hinting that a match between the two is now on the horizon.

As of now, only two matches have officially been added to the card for the Saudi Arabia PLE. The Visionary vs. The Auszilla would be a fantastic addition to the Crown Jewel match card.


#2. Adam Pearce might announce Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker but with a stipulation

The rivalry between Jey Uso and Bron Breakker is far from over, as Breakker destroyed the YEET Master on last week’s RAW after his victory over Xavier Woods. This is a clear indication that a title rematch between these two could be announced soon. However, it's possible that Adam Pearce might add a stipulation this time.

The RAW General Manager could announce this match for an upcoming episode of the red brand or directly for Crown Jewel 2024. The reason WWE might prefer a stipulation for this Intercontinental Championship match is to make it more exciting and engaging for the fans.


#1. The RAW General Manager might punish Rhea Ripley for her actions

During the recent episode of SmackDown, RAW star Rhea Ripley made a surprise appearance and took down The Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez, and Nia Jax. Fans certainly enjoyed Mami’s presence on the blue brand, but SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis might not be pleased with Rhea.

As a result, it’s possible that, on Aldis' orders, Adam Pearce could punish The Eradicator on tonight’s RAW by imposing a fine. Previously, we’ve seen superstars fined for unauthorized visits, and Rhea Ripley could be the latest addition to this list.
