Backstage, Kayla Braxton talks with Ludwig Kaiser, who assures us that GUNTHER is ready for “Main Event” Jey Uso tonight. He then talks about Sheamus and says he can either stay at home and protect his legacy, or he can return and Kaiser can send him packing again. He walks off and then Drew McIntyre walks up.

He talks about not being booked tonight and then gives his opinion on Damian Priest as champion and the King of the Ring. We head to another break. Backstage when we return, we see Gable talking to The Creed Brothers. They walk off and Gable sees Otis. He thinks Otis apologized to Zayn to purposely tug at his heart strings. He then bullies Otis into vowing he will help him get the I-C title this weekend.

We then shoot to “Main Event” Jey Uso, who is backstage in his ring gear. In typical YEET-friendly fashion, he delivers a fired-up promo and then throws on the shades. He is super hyped up and the new trend of single-camera shots being extended and moving all around, we see Uso go from his interview spot all the way to the ring without any cuts.

Uso settles inside the ring and the crowd is almost as hot as they were in France, singing along with Uso, doing the wave with their cell phone “Fireflies” flashlights, etc. The music dies down and then we hear the familiar sounds of GUNTHER’s entrance tune. Out comes the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all-time for our main event of the evening.

On that note, we settle into a quick pre-match commercial break. When we return, the bell immediately sounds and off we go with our Raw Semifinal bout in the ongoing 2024 WWE King of the Ring tournament. The winner of this one will face the winner of Friday’s SmackDown Semifinal bout in the KOTR tourney between Randy Orton and Tama Tonga. GUNTHER goes to work on Uso with chops.

Uso fires back with punches. He decks GUNTHER, who crashes out to the floor at ringside. Uso builds up a full head of steam and connects with a suicide dive on GUNTHER, sailing through the ropes and splashing onto him at ringside. Back in the ring, Uso goes for a high spot but GUNTHER moves and then sends Uso shoulder first into the ring post.

He continues to target the right arm of Uso, sending him into the ring steps. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as GUNTHER is in a healthy offensive lead. When we return, we see much of the same, with GUNTHER controlling Uso and working on his injured right arm. Uso fights back and hits a huge top-rope Samoan Drop.

GUNTHER fights back with chops and power bombs Uso into a pin attempt. Uso fires up for another comeback, but again “The Ring General” beats him down with loud chops that echo throughout the Greensboro Coliseum. Uso’s chest is bright red. Uso slaps GUNTHER, which only angers GUNTHER, who proceeds to chop the crap out of him in the corner.

Uso hits a spear and an Uso splash, but lands on his bad arm. The delay causes him to only get a two count on the follow-up pin attempt. GUNTHER loses his cool, pounds the crap out of Uso and then slaps him in a tight arm and head choke. Uso passes out and Cole quickly wraps things up as this week’s show abruptly goes off the air on that note. Thanks for joining us!
