Michael Ornelas Went to Sam’s Hofbrau with a porn star, and I’m truly truly upset that he didn’t invite me…
After we see a bunch of our WWE RAW Superstars arriving, we go live to the ring where our World Champ is readying to appear.
Gunther is out, suited up, wearing his gold. Jackie is in the ring with him and asks Gunther about last week on RAW and the attack Gunther attempted on Priest.
We get a recap of it then Jackie asks Gunther what he has to say, but he is interrupted by Damien Priest. Jackie is about to leave, Gunther tells her to hand him the mic because he wants to see if Gunther grew a set and has anything to say to his face.
Priest says Gunther used to have this aura, this killer vibe. Gunther would speak and no one would make a move. Maybe the pressure of being champ got to him. He gets it, he gets the pressure. He wants the title back. Gunther has had a lot of accomplishments in his life. He knows why Gunther can’t talk or act right. In his life, he’s never had to deal with a problem like Priest. At Survivor Series, this problem is taking that championship. Priest wonders what happens to Gunther after Survivor Series when he loses to a guy from the streets.
Priest allows Gunther to speak. Gunther raises the mic then lowers it with nothing to say. He looks to turn but cheap shots Priest with the mic. Again. Right hands to Priest. Big kick. Gunther sends Priest outside then whips to into a short clothesline. Gunther to the table, clearing the debris. Here comes some refs to stop the action, but Priest grabs Gunther and sends him into the post. Priest lifts up Gunther, RAZOR’S EDGE THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!! Priest grabs the title and holds it high.
WE get an update on Jade Cargill, who is apparently out for a while.
We go live to Bianca Belair and Naomi who wanna try an figure out who hurt Jade. Naomi asks who their new 5th will be. Here comes Iyo Sky to recommend Kairi Sane. Naomi says Bayley. In comes Rhea Ripley to stop the bickering and says whoever it is simply needs to stay out of her way. Bianca suggests Rhea choose the fifth. Rhea says as long as they leave her Liv, she couldn’t care less. Bianca mocks this as ‘good leadership,’ and says she’ll put the team on her back tonight and win the advantage match while they figure it out.

Kofi Kingston is pissed. He goes to Woods, and they argue yet again. Woods leaves the ring, Kofi chases him asking where he is going. They argue up the ramp again. Woods says he is running the play, Kofi argues back and Woods says that’s Kofi’s problem, he never listens. Woods says Kofi wrestles like garbage. Kofi says all he has ever done is help Woods. He gave up his Ic title shot away. When Woods was KOtR, Kofi held his cape. Woods fumbled the title shot and fumbled the crown. There is a reason that E and him never let Woods call the shots. HE is too reckless.
Woods tells Kofi to shut up and let him talk. He rmembers when Kof was too terrified which is why he never got a shot at the big title until he came along. He is the reason Kofi became champion.
Kofi says he was a Hall of Famer when Woods met him, which is why he asked to be a part of the group, not the other way around. Woods shouldn’t be talking about titles, because he has yet to win a single title by itself. Do you know why Wods has never been a World champ like him and E? He’s just not good enough. That is not Kofi’s fault.
Woods says he was good enough to fight for Kofi, take his beatings for him, believe in him, just like the people, and turned it into Kofimania and handed it to him and Kofi pissed it away in 6 seconds to Brock.
Kofi swears to God if he was anyone else. Woods says what, if he was anyone else, Kofi would finally get mad?
Kofi seethes in the face of Woods. Tells him see you at the reunion, brother. Woods corrects him, says see him at the Anniersary.
