WWE RAW Results (5/13/2024):

The show opens up with Imperium’s “The Ring General” GUNTHER, The New Day’s Kofi Kingston, “Main Event” Jey Uso (with his son), “The Mad Dragon” Ilja Dragunov and “The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre shown arriving at the arena. Samantha Irvin then introduces Drew McIntyre and McIntyre makes his way down to the ring as Michael Cole and Pat McAfee welcomes us to the show.

We get loud “CM Punk” chants once McIntyre’s music stopped playing. McIntyre starts off by saying maybe if they were in Atlanta or Charlotte, then CM Punk will be there, but Punk only makes the big towns and wouldn’t show up in Greenville. McIntyre then brought up the line about the greatest trick the devil played was convincing the world that he did not exist. McIntyre then says Punk looks like a drug addict even though he has never done drugs. McIntyre then says if you’re a CM Punk fan then you are stupid. McIntyre then accuses RAW General Manager Adam Pearce of giving Punk inside scoop of his schedule. McIntyre then says he will get his hands on Punk and then Punk will beg him to tear his tricep. McIntyre then says until then he will not waste his time on a guy who won’t be cleared for twenty years. McIntyre then says his target is the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and that paper champion Damian Priest.

The Judgment Day’s music then hits and they make their way down to the ring. Damian Priest starts off by saying McIntyre has serious issues. McIntyre then says Priest has an inspirational story and worked his ass off. McIntyre then says Priest deserves all the success in the world, he just doesn’t deserve to be world champion. McIntyre then says it’s a case of the title making the man. McIntyre then labels it the RAW Title and says it needs him in its infancy. Priest then calls McIntyre delusional and says he blames everyone else for his failures. Priest then tells McIntyre to find a mirror, look at the reflection and then blame that asshole. Priest then says McIntyre just had to grab his wife’s hand after winning the title and go enjoy his moment, but he saw Punk and made him more important than himself, the championship and his wife. Priest then mocks McIntyre for getting his ass whooped by a one-armed man. Priest then says if McIntyre wants a shot at the title, then he has it. Priest then says McIntyre could call him a paper champion all he wants, but he’ll eat those words once he is finished with him. Priest then says now you all can rise to that, then he tosses the mic and makes his exit.

We then get a video from earlier today of Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark arriving at the arena. We also see Damage CTRL (IYO SKY, Kairi Sane and Dakota Kai) arriving at the arena as well. Baszler and SKY then jaw jacks at one another until Baszler shoves SKY. WWE producers then quickly intervenes.

We then head to the back, where we see Carlito with The Judgment Day. They were approached by WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest and Carlito says the group could use extra muscle with Rhea Ripley out. Priest then says the rest of The Judgment Day could work with Carlito if they wanted but as far as he was concerned, Carlito wasn’t welcomed there. Carlito then says he knows Priest didn’t trust him, but thought he would at least trust his boys. Carlito then says even the most stubborn minds can be changed and maybe one day they can be amigos.

We then see Chad Gable speak with Maxxine Dupri, Otis and Akira Tozawa. Gable says Dupri blew her opportunity and embarrassed Alpha Academy. Gable then says Otis will face Sami Zayn.

Kingston then says his match with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio reminded him that there is no room for fear in the ring. Woods then speaks about how winning King of the Ring brings honor, but he couldn’t defend that honor thanks to GUNTHER. Woods then says GUNTHER will get his ass beat by one of the greatest champions ever in Kingston and he would learn why New Day rocks.

WWE World Tag Team Champion The Miz then approaches them and was nervous that Truth put them in a title match. Pearce then assures Miz that they weren’t defending the titles tonight and that they just needed new contenders, but Miz was still nervous. Kiana James then enters and says she is looking forward to working under Pearce and will prove why she was the 1%. Pearce then tells James not to hesitate to contact him. James then says she doesn’t hesitate, she adjudicates. Truth then says he didn’t know what that meant and thought her comment was not PG.
