WWE RAW Results (5/27/2024):

The show opens up with a recap of this past weekend’s WWE King and Queen of the Ring PLE. WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and “The Man” Becky Lynch were then shown arriving at the arena. Ludwig Kaiser is inside the ring and he introduces the new King of the Ring “The Ring General” GUNTHER and GUNTHER makes his way down to the ring to address the WWE Universe as Michael Cole and Pat McAfee welcomes us and as the fans chant for “The Viper” Randy Orton.

GUNTHER starts off by saying he defeated Orton on Saturday to become the rightful King Of The Ring. GUNTHER then says in the process he also earned the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE SummerSlam. GUNTHER then addresses Damian Priest and applauds him for stepping up in Judgment Day to take on the responsibility in Rhea Ripley’s absence. GUNTHER then says he stepped up himself to become the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion and much like he did with that title, he raised the lacking King of the Ring Tournament to new heights never seen before. GUNTHER then says Priest took a shortcut to become World Heavyweight Champion by cashing in his Men’s Money in the Bank briefcase.

Judgment Day’s music then hits and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh make their way down to the ring. Priest says GUNTHER is King Of The Ring and he has the crown to prove it. Priest then says GUNTHER proved nothing because he didn’t beat Randy Orton clean and if he wants to take credit for something, he should take credit for costing Orton a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. Priest then says he cashed in his briefcase like many before him, then asks GUNTHER if he knows how business around WWE works and offers to teach him about it. GUNTHER then says he focuses on facts and the fact is that he is King of the Ring. GUNTHER then says he will challenge Priest at SummerSlam should he still be the titleholder and he is waiting for someone to teach him something in the ring. GUNTHER then says while he can’t teach business, he can teach professional wrestling. GUNTHER then says Priest can either give him a speech on business now while he’s King of the Ring or after he becomes World Heavyweight Champion. Priest then says he respects GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Championship reign, but questions what GUNTHER can teach that he doesn’t already know.

Drew McIntyre’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. McIntyre stares down Priest and GUNTHER, then grabs a microphone and responds to fans chanting for CM Punk by saying the highlight of Punk’s return has been him. McIntyre then introduces himself to Priest and GUNTHER as the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and the new World Heavyweight Champion. GUNTHER then exits the ring before Priest tells McIntyre he is not overlooking him. McIntyre then says he just wants Priest to be aware of what’s going to happen to him at WWE Clash At The Castle. McIntyre then says Judgment Day has been messing up time and time again in Ripley’s absence, then offers to help Priest. McIntyre then says there have been several talents from the United Kingdom who never won world championships and he was the first to do so. McIntyre then says Clash At The Castle is in his home country of Scotland and he gives a geography lesson of the UK. McIntyre then says the people of Scotland are the most passionate people in the world, then he tells Priest he is walking into a war zone. McIntyre then says the fans there will break Priest mentally and he’ll break him physically. Priest then asks McIntyre if his game plan is to really get under his skin and being booed doesn’t bother him. Priest then says he’s made a living of proving people wrong, then asks McIntyre if his wife will be at Clash At The Castle. McIntyre then warns Priest about using his wife’s name and Priest says he could care less if she’d be there. Priest then says he wanted to see if he could get under McIntyre’s skin and he clearly did. Braun Strowman’s music then hits and Strowman makes his way down to the ring for the first match of the night as McIntyre leaves the ring. McIntyre then stares down Priest before Priest leaves the ring and McDonagh enters the ring.
