"Days before WWE touches down in Perth, Australia, for the Crown Jewel premium live event (PLE) on Saturday ( 8 a.m. ET, ESPN Unlimited), "Raw" created new questions about the state and future of the World Heavyweight Championship. Three wrestlers -- Jey Uso, CM Punk and LA Knight -- are not-so-patiently waiting for a title shot, while the current champion, Seth Rollins, is focused on bringing home Crown Jewel hardware against a man he has yet to beat in WWE, Cody Rhodes."
"When Punk, Knight and Uso all jumped into the ring and began arguing over who is most deserving of the next shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, the importance of the championship was instantly elevated. Rollins wasn't even in the ring, as the three top-tier superstars jousted verbally over what seemed to be the most important thing to all of them."
