Damian Priest and Gunther meet face-to-face​

Following the chaos of WWE Money in the Bank, Damian Priest will defend his World Heavyweight Title against King of the Ring Winner Gunther.

Next week, the two participants in the huge match at SummerSlam will meet in a face-to-face for the ages.

Which Superstar will gain the edge heading into their colossal championship match?

Sheamus brings Fight Night to Bronson Reed​

Following a backstage confrontation, Sheamus will take on “Big” Bronson Reed as he brings Fight Night to The Aus-Zilla.

Reed has cried foul at The Celtic Warrior’s longevity, saying he has been overlooked and that he is the future.

Who will come out on top in this first-time matchup?

Drew McIntyre returns after meltdown at WWE Money in the Bank​

20240708_RAW_DrewReturns_FC_Monday--639ff46e67b71cd3571d4e0c1271c71a.jpg

Drew McIntyre is embroiled in a bitter rivalry with CM Punk that reached new levels of animosity after The Best in the World interfered in The Scottish Psychopath’s Money in the Bank cash-in and allowed Priest to retain the World Heavyweight Title.

Next week, McIntyre will return after being fined and suspended for his outburst following WWE Money in the Bank.

With Punk given strict orders not to show his face, how will McIntyre respond after The Second City Saint all but demanded a match between the two?

Don’t miss the explosive return of McIntyre​

Does anyone think Gunther will win? I hope he does as priests reign has has been boring AF, he was much better as a face and needs to leave Judgement Day to reach his full potential.

Anyone else think Gunther will win ?

Rhea Ripley kicks off Raw​

20240712_RAW_Rhea_FC_Mon--6976816e29628ba090e4f61fbf02e9b1.jpg

One week after making her thunderous return, Rhea Ripley will kick off Monday Night Raw.

Much will be on the mind of the former Women’s World Champion who had to relinquish her title following an injury sustained at the hands of current Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.

When Ripley made her gigantic return, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Morgan looked to be in the middle of a compromising situation.

What will Mami have to say regarding Mysterio’s recent escapades with Morgan?

Gunther as HW champ would suit many WWE fans a lot as priest is meant to be a heel but comes off as face/tweener. RAW has been better than SD last few shows for myself I'm shocked. But Rhea Ripley coming back is this where we see Judgement Day Turn Faces? Still don't know why Carlito is with them. I Get Bobble Head he's Finns Best mate in wrestling. But if It's Rhea v Liv at Summerslam and Priest v Gunther that would mean they're turning as Gunther isa bonafide heel and Liv is too. Unless Judgement Day are just tweeners as a group.

McIntyre Fined 50K suspended indefinitely then he's back a week later lol. Can't wait to see how Punk and McIntyre play this out as Rollins has now installed himself in against punk . Would be good to finally see Punk have a match since returning and after the Royal Rumble injury. Hunter knows punk draws huge numbers and just having face McIntyre and Rollins let the other two help carry the work load if his arm isn't still at 100% or close enough for him to be cleared.

As much as I like punk, mox said his mouth cashes cheques his body can't cope with or something along those lines, if he misses summerslam then what next?

I haven’t seen anyone predicting Priest to win.

I'm very happy about this . Just seeing the transformation of him has been a pleasure to watch lost a lot of weight, trimmed down.Promos are a lot better, having a kid changes your thought process instantly he said.

All Hail The King GUNTHER!
