As WWE returned to the road, there were several exciting plans to mark the occasion. Aside from the expected comebacks from big stars like John Cena and Brock Lesnar, several concepts were reportedly discussed to be brought back as well.
WrestleVotes tweeted that the promotion was looking at more "themed" live shows after fans returned. The concepts mentioned were King of the Ring, Cyber Sunday, and Old School RAW.
King of the Ring did return in October, with the final taking place at Crown Jewel. Xavier Woods defeated Finn Balor in Saudi Arabia to win the tournament and achieve his lifelong dream. Its female counterpart also took place. Zelina Vega won the inaugural Queen's Crown Tournament.
ALL HAIL KING XAVIER!!!

While the promotion may have discussed bringing back the other concepts, neither Old School RAW nor Cyber Sunday has happened as of January 2022. While the former could still happen any week, the latter would make for a solid premium live event after WrestleMania 38.
