The July 14 episode of WWE RAW went down in the Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama. There is a lot going on in WWE right now, and now we know who will face GUNTHER next.
The match featured CM Punk, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Penta, and Bron Breakker, with each superstar battling for a chance to face GUNTHER. After a hard-fought series of eliminations, the winner secured a title opportunity at SummerSlam.
Bron Breakker and Penta started out the match. Then Breakker beat LA Knight. Finally, Jey Uso came out to finish off the match.
This contest went through a commercial break as we turned to see Uce and Breakker battling. Both of these competitors are second-generation Superstars, so it was special to see them share the ring. Eventually, Bronson Reed showed up to screw Jey Uso over and give Bron Breakker a chance to eliminate him.
CM Punk came out last to face Bron Breakker in the gauntlet match. Punk laid into Breakker and sent him rolling out of the ring to behind the final stage of the contest. This match kept going with the two of them, Punk’s first gauntlet match in 14 years. Bronson Reed tried to get involved, but Punk kicked him off before nailing an elbow drop off the top, which he transitioned into an Anaconda Vice. Suddenly, Reed got in the match and nailed an elbow drop on Punk, but there were no DQs. Then Jey Uso ran down to run Reed off.
Punk stopped a spear to nail a GTS and get the win. Now, CM Punk will go onto SummerSlam to take on GUNTHER.
We will have to see how SummerSlam turns out for GUNTHER. We know who his challenger is, and that is plenty enough to get us pumped for the biggest party of the summer at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and 3.
