With the excitement of the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event slowly fading away, the latest episode of WWE RAW shifted its focus to the upcoming Clash at the Castle event, taking place in Scotland in less than three weeks. While the show had its share of highs and lows, there were several storylines that grabbed the attention of viewers.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the show was the subtle hint that Drew McIntyre might not be a shoo-in to win the World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest at Clash at the Castle. The Scottish Warrior’s path to the title is not as clear-cut as expected, with confrontations with Braun Strowman and Gunther suggesting that Priest might retain the title in Glasgow, Scotland. This unexpected twist has left fans wondering if McIntyre will finally get his moment or if the writers have another plan up their sleeve.
Another standout storyline involved Bron Breakker, who is slowly becoming a force to be reckoned with on WWE RAW. Despite being fined and suspended for his actions last week, Breakker continued to wreak havoc, interrupting Ricochet’s rematch against Ilja Dragunov and ultimately setting himself up for a potential feud. The tension between Breakker and General Manager Adam Pearce is palpable, and it will be interesting to see how this storyline unfolds.
On the other hand, the women’s division saw some drama unfold, with IYO SKY’s meltdown in her dressing room leaving fans worried about the future of Damage CTRL. The faction, which recently ousted Bayley, needs to stay together to thrive, and this new development raises questions about their stability.
The show also saw Chad Gable’s abusive leadership style reach new heights, with Maxxine Dupri and Sami Zayn stepping in to try and stop him. Meanwhile, the Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio storyline took a dramatic turn with a surprise kiss, leaving fans wondering what’s next for this unlikely pairing.
Despite the highs, the show was not without its negatives. The broadcast ended abruptly in the United States, missing the climactic kiss, and the preceding events were clunky, to say the least. The involvement of Braun Strowman in the Women’s World Championship match between Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch was bizarre and felt forced, taking away from the overall impact of the match.
As WWE gears up for Clash at the Castle, fans will be eagerly waiting to see how these storylines unfold and which directions they take. With some hits and misses, the latest episode of WWE RAW left fans with mixed emotions but plenty to look forward to in the weeks to come.
