RAW is live in St. Paul, Minnesota, as the latest iteration of the King of the Ring Tournament begins, and there's talk of a major announcement being made that if the rumours are true, may well be yellow and black related...
Despite all his dominance over the last few years, Braun Strowman only has a day long reign as one half of the RAW Tag Team Champion and the Greatest Royal Rumble to speak of for career accomplishments. Tonight, the Monster Among Men has a chance to amend this, as he challenges AJ Styles for the United States Title. Strowman helped out Universal Champion Seth Rollins and Ricochet against The OC last week, can he go on and take the US Title from the Phenomenal One?
The King of the Ring was last held in 2015, when Bad News Barrett became the King. The tournament starts again tonight with 16 men in the running, culminating with the final at Clash of Champions in Charlotte on September 15th. The first two matches will be held tonight, pitting Cedric Alexander against Sami Zayn and Cesaro against Samoa Joe. Who will be the first two to advance?
After four months away, The Boss returned to WWE, as Sasha Banks revealed new blue hair and attacked both Natalya and the RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch. Earlier that night, The Man advised potential opponents to get her before she gets them, and clearly Banks took this advice, perhaps using an injured Natalya as a way to draw Lynch out. Will The Man get revenge on The Boss tonight?
Elias won the 24/7 Title last week, and Drake Maverick has spent the week unsuccessfully trying to win it from him... it even got to the point that Elia threatened to lose the title to a duck (DRAKE, get it?) - will Elias survive tonight with the title?
All this and much more tonight from 8/7c on USA!

We could very well see the beginning of NXT's end tonight everyone
Not because of AEW, but because USA Executives and Vince are gonna be involved, so it might as well be a death sentence.

Sasha Banks will appear on The King's Court with Jerry Lawler tonight. It took me a good 30 seconds to determine if this was a joke post or legit news. Even after typing that I'm still not entirely sure. Feels like they pulled The King's Court out of a hat filled with all the talk shows they could have.

For a supposedly big announcement, weβve heard nothing official other than online news talk.

I'm not a fan of Lawler, but this is how you use him/any legends.
I like the idea King's Court more than an active wrestler TV show because you know WWE isn't going to let Lawler wrestle and he can still work a mic and help young talent and progress storylines with being part of said storyline. Also unlike Miz TV it won't lead to predictable matches being made NEXT! or later tonight with the guy that was just hosting a TV Show lol
