WWE remained in Saudi Arabia after Crown Jewel 2024 for a pre-taped edition of Monday Night Raw, where Damian Priest emerged as Gunther’s next opponent for the World Heavyweight Championship. He did so by winning a Fatal Four Way against Sheamus, Dominik Mysterio, and Seth Rollins, who was taken out of commission by Bronson Reed giving him a Tsunami through a table. Dragon Lee defeated Chad Gable to pour more misery on American Made after Ivy Nile distracted her teammate by fighting Zelina Vega, and the War Raiders continued their winning streak with a victory over The New Day, as Kofi and Xavier Woods’ problems continued.
