First match set for WWE Crown Jewel 2019.
On Monday's episode of Raw, The Miz hosted Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in a special edition of Miz TV. During the segment, the two WWE Hall of Famers teased squaring off one last time. Instead of leg drops and figure fours, cooler heads prevailed as Miz announced that Hogan and Flair would serve as coaches for a five-on-five bout at WWE Crown Jewel 2019.

Hogan and Flair wasted no time in announcing their respective captains for the bout. Hogan's captain will be none other than the WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins.

The showdown nearly led to a Captains Match on Raw, but Baron Corbin attacked Rollins before the match began. Rusev made the save for Rollins, implying that Rusev and Corbin would be added to Team Hogan and Team Flair respectively.
