In a shocking turn of events, WWE fans were in for a surprise last night as multiple changes shook up the highly anticipated edition of RAW, particularly impacting the King of the Ring tournament. The WWE Universe was geared up for the kickoff of the prestigious competition, setting the stage for the upcoming premium live event on May 25.
However, the excitement took a hit when Drew McIntyre, a key contender for the title, was sidelined from the tournament due to an elbow injury. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce announced McIntyre’s unfortunate situation, stating that he hadn’t received medical clearance to compete. Consequently, McIntyre’s scheduled match against Finn Balor was scrapped from last night’s lineup.
Adding to the unexpected twists, a report from Corey Brennan of Fightful Select revealed that the highly anticipated showdown between Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston was also axed from the show. The two superstars were slated to clash in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament, but plans took a sudden turn.
Despite these setbacks, fans were treated to an intense main event, featuring Gunther facing off against Sheamus.
Drew McIntyre, known as the Scottish Warrior, had to sit out due to his injury, leaving fans wondering about his eventual return to the ring.
While the last-minute changes may have left fans disappointed, RAW still delivered an electrifying night of action as the King of the Ring tournament kicked off. With the competition’s unpredictable nature, one thing was certain – last night’s RAW was packed with surprises.
