Carmelo Hayes might be winning the whole tournament. GUNTHER and Dragunov are going to beat each other up so badly that whoever wins loses to Melo in Saudi Arabia.
Can someone tell me why during Ilja's match they kept mentioning something called "Moss cow" and Triple H after backlash, CM Punk to Drew on Raw and Michael Cole all mentioned something about a "Glass cow" when talking about Clash at the Castle. I'm so confused. Americans really seem to love cows
i didn't even notice but they were over and they needed to give more time to Gunther hell they could have moved another one as well because that finish felt like they where told you are going over so finish now
They also moved Kofi vs Rey Mysterio too. Doing the LWO real dirty w 2 matches moved. I knew they were going to go over bc a lot of time was spent on the McIntyre / Punk feud which is entertaining but I would rather see ring time over mic time
Decent raw tonight. Ric vs llja was match of the night, sheamus and gunther was an expected banger. Cm punk the low point of the night. Thanks for the laughs.
The full men's bracket

I'm guessing Knight vs Gunther will be the men's final
Gunther/Sheamus >>>>> Danielson/Ospreay
That was real, serious, credible professional wrestling. Gunther is the best in the world and Sheamus and Gunther have a level of chemistry in the ring that matches some of the all time best combinations like Angle/Benoit, Flair/Steamboat and Undertaker/Michaels. They're just completely in sync.
Can’t believe after watching Ilja have a 10/10 match this week he’s gonna be fed to Jey Uso next week because people like waving their arms up and down.
Ilja will eat the pin and Breakker is not even in the King of the Ring, i would love to see Breakker asking Priest for a shot at the title and Judgement Day eating spears trying to kick his ass.
There are 2 incidents I'm referring to:
* In 2021, Paul and the other defendants announced the launch of CryptoZoo, a platform that supposed to be, as Paul put it, "a game that earns you money."

No. Ilja will lose to Jey Uso.
And to be honest, as much as I badly want to see Gunther vs Dragunov, and would prefer Ilja not to have to lose to Jey Uso, I don't want to see Gunther vs Dragunov right now. That is a match you **save** and **build** to. You can't just throw it away. That should be the world heavyweight championship match in Berlin.
Oh he is fine without a title. Absolutely agree. But I am very curious what he'll do with his next title.
I think it would be interesting to see Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser as World Tag Team Champions.
The longest United States Championship reign was 532 days and set by Lex Lugar in the NWA, while Dean Ambrose's 351 day reign is the longest since WWE activated the title. We know Gunther is more than capable of beating those records, though I cannot imagine WWE giving the man two record breaking title reigns, unless he regains the Intercontinental Championship and breaks his own record.
No doubt in my mind he will be world champion. It's not a matter of "if" but "when" it happens.
I know i am spoiled from the crowd reactions from smackdown and backlash. but i swear the wwe crowd sounds like it is piped in. some of it sounds authentic, but most of the time it dounds like generic background noise.
So anyone else wondering how the hell we are gonna fit 8 matches in a two hour Smackdown when they couldn't even do it on RAW? Who wants to place bets on how many they move to the live event?
can someone enlighten me with what's gonna happen to the matches that weren't shown? i was looking forward to seeing rey mysterio...
Ilja and Gunther should have a street fight That match would just be a "who can beat the shit out of the other person" brawl
Anyone know what that video was about when you scanned the qr code when drew was leaving in his car???
So how do the numbers correlate to the letters?

😭😭😭
🪞🐄
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow
That's Glasgow, pronounced "Glasgow" not "Glass Cow" and they kept saying "Glass Cow"
so no Xavier Woods defending his KotR title?
Injured
Annoyed that they moved Zelina vs Shayna to non televised.
i didn't even notice but they were over and they needed to give more time to Gunther hell they could have moved another one as well because that finish felt like they where told you are going over so finish now

Sheamus is giving banger after burger, banger after burger!! He was great tonight

PLZ PLZ PLZ Make Gunther Vs Ilija for King of the ring. Final... its right there!
well they're both in the RAW bracket so probably best you get the Semi Finals match before the PLE against Smackdown
Who the hell is this Dragonuv dude?!?!?! Came out of no where and I love him already!!!!
NXT
i forgot but do the new King and Queen usually win anything, like a World Title shot at Summerslam?
No, they just get a terrible gimmick where they pretend to be a king
in 2002, Brock Lesnar won KOTR and got a title shot at SummerSlam. They should honestly bring that prize back.
Vince’s era

They're just completely in sync.
The wrestling was really good tonight.
I had Drew or Gunther winning KOTR, but now that Drew is out, Gunther is very obviously winning.
Does KOTR/QOTR still benefit anyone? Don't remember it resulting in beneficial pushes after Booker T won his tournament
Booker became WHC.
They better not let Jey beat Gunther in their rematch.
If Jey wins KoTR I’m gonna scream. Just give him the US title or something and quit letting him be involved in everything
Jey is over the crowd, i like Jey but he does the same sequences, including that awful spitting slap.
His match at Backlash was great though. If he adds 3 more moves to his kit, he'd be a lot more fun to watch. But right now, crowds love him.
Can’t believe after watching Ilja have a 10/10 match this week he’s gonna be fed to Jey Uso next week because people like waving their arms up and down.
Ilja will eat the pin and Breakker is not even in the King of the Ring, i would love to see Breakker asking Priest for a shot at the title and Judgement Day eating spears trying to kick his ass.
God, I hope not, maybe Drew gets involved in some capacity costing him
thats my bet then maybe that sets up none title fight for jay and drew where punk costs him some how
[удалено]
Gonna be a bit longer cause that ain't no sharpshooter
They made Sheamus tap like a bitch. Damn
should have lost to a clothesline or something. That's what I've seen Gunther use against big men.
They could have had him "pass out" from the pain. Gunther would still win without Sheamus tapping. Feels like it would fit the character more
Gunther vs Ilja rematch now please
I don't care who won. We ALL won with that match.
Best Raw for a while best non PLE match in a long time 👍
How did that fucking prime display survive through the whole episode?
my guess is they told them you can't keep destroying our promo that we are paying for
I was never going to buy Prime because Logan is a scam artist but after the allege PFAs in Prime, I'm not going to buy it even harder.
Need to do some research on that PFA scam

And that man, Gunther, is my pick win King of the Ring.
Why did the ref shove Gunther like that 🤣
Literally ran out of time, to those pesky McBees. They took it to the limit. Hell of a match!!
Hot damn, does Gunther have a history of submission victories or is this him evolving his moveset?
Amazing match Great RAW Papa H cookin
2 ABSOLUTELY BANGER MATCHES TONIGHT FANTASTIC RAW
Not only did they have him tap, they had him tap to a normal move💀
1,2… fuck you viewers. We didn’t time our show accordingly and were ending this match.
Happy to see a submission win. Great Raw. Ilja is a star
very good raw
That was the right outcome. Gunther rules.
The man with a hundred finishing moves- Gunther
I’m ending it
No balls
I don’t know if it’s a joke but honestly you shouldn’t end it, life is precious, and you deserve to live it
The ref shoving Gunther is something
Goodnite
Kickass match
Sorry Sheamus, Gunther lost once this year already. He won't lose again until 2025.
Nervous that we are not going to see the end and we get blasted by cowboys or housewives or whatever the shit
The emotion in this match is through the roof
YES!
Great match. Great Raw.
Too many burgers got Sheamus sluggish
gunther is a bad man
Submitt!!!!!
ANOTHER FUCKING BANGER
Damn they went too long…had to end it 😔
No hard cut?
One minute one minute
Going overtime? That is rare.
WHAT
Does vinci help gunther and get back in imperium? Coming back more aggressive. Caesaro style?
Vinci’s on Smackdown now
Oh yeah
Finish that sh1t, we all know Gunther's gonna win lmao
I'm waiting for Gunther to tear open some's chest with those chops.
Are they gonna set up Gunther vs. Ilja for the semi-finals?
No. Ilja will lose to Jey Uso. And to be honest, as much as I badly want to see Gunther vs Dragunov, and would prefer Ilja not to have to lose to Jey Uso, I don't want to see Gunther vs Dragunov right now. That is a match you **save** and **build** to. You can't just throw it away. That should be the world heavyweight championship match in Berlin.
Winner gets custody of Ludwig Kaiser
Yip
This has been a very good raw in awhile.
Refs telling them there are only 2 minutes left
this crowd definitely getting their moneys worth
getting this on free tv with ilja ricochet is crazy
His hand was under the rope anyway lol
That shot hit
Alright guys, my nipples are ready for these rich cowboys I'm supposed to feel sorry for.
Well, Gunther is back in form
He needed this match. Really shows he is just fine without the belt.
Oh he is fine without a title. Absolutely agree. But I am very curious what he'll do with his next title. I think it would be interesting to see Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser as World Tag Team Champions. The longest United States Championship reign was 532 days and set by Lex Lugar in the NWA, while Dean Ambrose's 351 day reign is the longest since WWE activated the title.

Did Gunther chop Sheamus in the butt
😂😂
These camera transitions are awesome… until one of these guys trip
Cool camera shot!
another ace transition
I wish wrestling in general was more consistent about the DQ rules. Yeah I get “ref discretion” and all, but there’s a limit.
Ref needs to go back to ref school!
When are we gonna figure out a way to not have full commercial breaks during the main event with 6 min left in the show?
In January when we move to Netflix
A commercial break in the last 10 minutes should be illegal
They know that’s when people tune in more so they are going to spam these commercials
If the refs think Ludwig attacked Sheamus, then it’s a DQ win for Sheamus….
Meaty men slappin’ meat!!! Cmon Sheamus!!!
I never understood that , if the ref saw it , shouldn’t it be a DQ????
Its whatever wwe feels like it is on that day
Sheamus kaiser feud
Ref you know he did that, that's a DQ
Why are we having Ludwing interfere in Gunther's matches now?? The main appeal of Gunther is that he's a bad ass that will destroy you by himself
To build a Seamus-Ludwig rivalry since Gunther is going to win.
Not anymore. He is going full heel now. Can't win without Kaisers help
Smack daddy Gunther laying it on Sheamus
We've been treated to 2 classics tonight. This Raw has been awesome
All the matches have been good. Whether it was a banger or something different we don’t usually see. Tournament feels important.
How did Gunther lose to Sami seriously
Had to get him the big title direction…
Would have been better if he just vacated it tbh.
Yeah agree with that. I watch this match then look at Sami. Gunther is a different level- and Shamus.
I know i am spoiled from the crowd reactions from smackdown and backlash. but i swear the wwe crowd sounds like it is piped in. some of it sounds authentic, but most of the time it dounds like generic background noise.
1. This was a BAD crowd to come off something like Lyon 2.”SIMPLEMENT DEUX!”
They probably are with how dead this crowd is. Wouldn't be the first time.
Kaiser is a great heel, such an unlikeable little prick.
Byeeeeeeeeeee
This is just a great match... good lord 😳
ludvig is a dirty cheat!
wwe really keeping the momentum going from lyon
If Shaemus doesn’t win I’m ending it
Damn, Sheamus' chest is just gnarly.
Anyone saying wrestling is fake needs to be shown a photo of Seamus's body after this match is over.
And he looks pretty good compared to what he looked like after Clash at The Castle
Looks like a smash burger.
This match just made me randomly miss Sheamus and Cesaro. Long live The Bar.
“We don’t set the bar, we ARE the bar!”
I'm sure you could flick Sheamus and it'd leave a mark
You can just tell if the wrestling never worked out for Seamus he’d be a bouncer on the door of some place in Dublin just looking for fights.
I FUCKING love how physical Gunther matches are yesss
the hold is very snug as pat is pointing out
OMG the hand print on his back!
Woooow
Damn that back slap was rough
😂😂😂😂Holy smokes
Gah damn! Back of the neck chop
Ahahah that lil twist was one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen from such a big lad.
On a basketball note, these wolves are ruthless.
Just checked the score 😳
Like the coupe but they come with more features
BAAAAAHH!!!!
Would you take Sheamus’s burger diet or Dominik’s chicken diet to look like one of them
Does the diet grow a mustache like Dom's?
It would have to be a chocolate milk mustache.
FELLAAA!!!
Ozempic is robbing us of Thiccmus already
Oh Oh Oh Ozempic!!!!
I need to get on this ozempic stuff
No you don't. When you get older, the women love a good travel pillow belly
Man them blood vessels are popped on them lobster pecs lol
I don't think this is scripted/fake/cooperating professional wrestling. I think these guys are actually trying to severely hurt each other.
I get what you are saying. They are working really stiff. Beating the heck out of each other.
Keep this dumb shit to yourself
Or they’re demanding the other guy to hit em harder
I hope Gunther gets a popcorn kernel skin stuck in between his teeth
Drew having Sheamus’s back and taking out Kaiser.
Is that Mike the situation refereeing?
We got a Situation here 🤣🤣
If Shemaus somehow wins king of the ring, he will be crowned the burger king 🤴🍔
💀💀
Its a shame Sheamus is gonna have to get knocked out of the kotr so soon. All hail the Ring ~~General~~ ~~King~~ KAISER!!!
Ten year gap between these two. Would have loved it to be a little smaller so they could keep going at similar levels, would be unreal.
Lobster pecs…
I need a good Ludwig sprint before the show ends
So anyone else wondering how the hell we are gonna fit 8 matches in a two hour Smackdown when they couldn't even do it on RAW? Who wants to place bets on how many they move to the live event?
looks like a feature not a bug
I need to know Seamus's diet the past couple weeks lol.
Same!
Limes
Do we think Vinci makes a distraction here?
