WWE RAW Glendale, Arizona
The commentators are Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.
– Tonight it’s WWE RAW, the red show starts with the commentators welcoming us and we see the Superstars arriving in the arena.
– The champion Gunther comes to the ring for an interview with Jackie Redmond. We present a video of Damian Priest attacking Gunther last Monday on RAW. Jackie says Gunther doesn’t seem like the confident champion Priest used to say, what’s his response? Gunther was about to answer, but Damian Priest’s music hits and he arrives. Priest says he doesn’t want to interrupt. He wants to hear Gunther tell us how easy it will be. Gunther remains unanswered. Priest says he wants to hear the champ speak this week and see if he’s grown a pair of balls. Gunther wants to pretend the old Gunther is back, but we all know that’s not true. Gunther had this killer instinct, people were afraid to go near him. Maybe the pressure of being champion hurt. He knows this champion pressure and he wants to find it again. The problem is that Gunther has never faced a problem like him. At Survivor Series, this problem will take the title from him.
Priest says he wonders what will happen at Ring General when he loses to a guy from the street. Priest invites him to respond again. Gunther approaches with the microphone, but turns to leave. Gunther finally decides to hit Priest with his microphone in the head! Gunther starts beating. Gunther brings him to ringside and sets up the announce table, but Priest blocks him and gives him a Razor Edge through the announce table! Officials arrive to arrest him.
– The commentators take stock of Jade Cargill’s attack on SmackDown. They announce that there is no expected date for his return.
– Backstage, Bianca Belair is with Naomi. Belair says it sucks for their sister, they need to find out who is responsible. Naomi says they also need to find a fifth partner. Iyo Sky arrives and offers Kairi Sane. Belair says she doesn’t really like Damage CTRL. Naomi says she’s voting for Bayley, Bayley is fighting on the same side. Belair responds that the past with Bayley doesn’t work. They argue. Rhea Ripley comes in and says the fifth partner should just give her her place. Belair asks her if she has an idea for a partner. Ripley replies that it can be anyone, as long as that person lets her have Belair.
– Back after the break, the wrestlers arrive in the ring.

Truth says they’re not family, he can forget about Thanksgiving. Truth leaves.

– After the fight, Kingston and Woods argue again and they continue backstage. Woods says Kingston wasn’t up to par. Kingston says he always helped him. He gave him his shot at the Intercontinental title and he also gave him a shot at King of the Ring. And Woods did what? He failed as always. There’s a reason he and Big E never gave control. Woods says Kingston was afraid of becoming champion and he is the reason Kingston became champion. Kingston claims he was a Hall of Famer when Woods asked him to join the group. People like Woods shouldn’t be talking about championships because Woods still hasn’t won any solo titles. Does Woods want to know why he was never a champion like him and Big E? Because Woods was never good enough and it’s not his fault! Woods says he was good enough to take the hits for Kingston and believe in Kingston to create Kofi-Mania. And what did Kingston do with it?
