This week’s episode of WWE Raw was filled with drama, surprises, and intense matches, as the King of the Ring tournament continued to unfold. One of the most notable developments was the ongoing storyline involving the Latino World Order, which took a surprising turn as Carlito betrayed WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio and the rest of the group.
In a shocking move, Carlito joined forces with The Judgment Day, leaving Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik fuming. Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and Damian Priest initially had mixed reactions to Carlito’s betrayal, but eventually, they welcomed him into their fold. However, it remains to be seen whether Carlito will become an official member of The Judgment Day.
Meanwhile, the King of the Ring tournament saw some exciting matches, with IYO SKY defeating Shayna Baszler on Raw, and Kofi Kingston advancing to the quarterfinals after defeating Gunther. Unfortunately, Rey Mysterio, who was initially slated to compete in the tournament, was eliminated after losing a qualifying match to Kofi Kingston at a recent WWE live event.
In other news, WWE fans were thrilled to see the return of legendary ring announcer Lilian Garcia, who made a one-off appearance on Raw. Garcia was invited by Samantha Irvin to announce the Kofi Kingston vs. Gunther match, which was a quarterfinal contest of the King of the Ring tournament. After the show, Garcia posed for a selfie with Zelina Vega, who shared the photo on Instagram, sending love to the legendary ring announcer.
The episode also saw the absence of Zelina Vega, who was initially booked to face Shayna Baszler, but was replaced by Maxxine Dupri due to an unforeseen injury. Unfortunately, neither Baszler nor Dupri made it to the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
Overall, this week’s Raw was filled with unexpected twists and turns, setting the stage for an exciting road to the King of the Ring finals. With Carlito’s betrayal and the ongoing tournament, WWE fans are eagerly anticipating what’s to come in the world of professional wrestling.
