This week's WWE RAW is the penultimate edition of the show before Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on June 28. It appears Monday's episode will have a stacked lineup, and ahead of the event, Adam Pearce has announced that he is on vacation.
The RAW General Manager stated in a recent Instagram post that Liv Morgan will be in action against Kairi Sane and will address her actions against Nikki Bella, whilst Bayley will also be in attendance following her recent attack on Becky Lynch.
Pearce also noted that the show will feature the last two Fatal Four-Way first-round matches of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. He also revealed he will not be there in person but will instead be replaced by Nick Aldis.

Nick Aldis has been the SmackDown General Manager since 2023 and will easily be able to hold down the fort for Pearce in his absence. It will be interesting to see if Aldis will have to step in with some of the RAW rivalries reaching their boiling point, but otherwise, it should be an easy night for him.
Will Adam Pearce return for the final show ahead of WWE Night of Champions?
It's unclear how long Adam Pearce's vacation will last, but he could return in time for Night of Champions since it's a high-profile event. WWE is only traveling to the Middle East once this year, as next year's Royal Rumble will be in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time in history.
It means that for the first time since 2021, WWE will only visit Saudi Arabia once, and they need to make it count. As of this writing, WWE has announced three matches for the event. The finals of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will take place, and John Cena will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk.
