Team Hogan vs. Team Flair at Crown Jewel now features Captain Roman Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Ali, and Shorty Gable vs. Captain Randy Orton, King Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, and McIntyre. WWE Hall of Famers Flair and Hulk Hogan will be at ringside for the match.

As we've noted, McIntyre had been out of action after undergoing surgery to repair a lingering injury that came up after his promotional tour of Mexico earlier in the summer. The idea was to get the surgery out of the way, so McIntyre will be ready for the fall TV push and the build to WrestleMania 36 season. McIntyre was waiting for WWE doctors to clear him to compete, and there had been rumors on the company keeping him off TV until the 2019 WWE Draft. Drew was officially drafted to the red brand last week.
