Everything Announced for WWE and AEW TV This Week (Oct. 17)

✖

WWE's Crown Jewel pay-per-view is on Thursday, AEW Dynamite is stuck on Saturday once again and NXT 2.0 has one week left to build towards the 2021 Halloween Havoc special event. As a result, plenty of matches between both companies have been announced ahead of time for the weekly lineup of programming. And while there won't be another head-to-head confrontation between the two promotions like AEW Rampage and Friday Night SmackDown had last week, it doesn't sound like the "wrestling war" between WWE and AEW is ending anytime soon. Check out the full lineups for Monday Night Raw, NXT 2.0, Crown Jewel, AEW Rampage and AEW Dynamite in the list below!

Do you think any of the shows will hit us with big surprises this week? Will any titles change hands in Saudi Arabia on Thursday? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments!

Monday Night Raw (Oct. 18)

• Raw Women's Championship: Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Beliar -- "The EST" could wind up being a double champ by the end of this week, and the jury is still out over whether or not Flair will have any role in Crown Jewel.
• King of The Ring Semifinals: Xavier Woods vs. Jinder Mahal -- Woods has said in countless interviews and video promos that he values winning King of the Ring more than anything else in the WWE. Unfortunately, that has led to many pessimistic fans believing that's the exact reason while he'll lose
• Queen's Crown Semifinals: Shayna Baszler vs. Doudrop -- The winner will take on Zelina Vega at Crown Jewel
• Randy Orton & Riddle vs. The Street Profits
• Big E & Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode -- McIntyre has already poked fun at how this is a rematch.

Nothing has been officially announced for the show, mostly because it will see the immediate fallout from Crown Jewel. Barring any travel issues, this will be the first time fans will see the updated Blue Brand roster following this year's Draft.
