WWE RAW REPORT: BRON BREAKS, DREW DECLINES, SETH SAVES, ALPHA ABANDONS, PRIEST POUNCES, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2024-07-15 23:00:00

We are back and Adam Pearce is talking to some officials.  He is interrupted by Chad Gable.  

He says he cracked the code that Uncle Howdy is Bo Dallas.  Chad says he wants to know what was discussed and what discipline he will receive.

Adam says it is privileged.

Chad wants to know what is going to happen.

Adam says that Bo is here and he can talk to Chad.

Chad says he will take care of this himself and he will call out Bo.  He says he will do it his way.

Damian Priest makes his way to the ring.

Priest says he is out here for his match against Braun Strowman but he wants Gunther to come out now for their face to face.

Gunther makes his way to the ring.

Gunther presents the World Champion to the crowd.  He says to look at Priest.  So confident and carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.  Carrying Raw week after week and living out your childhood dream of being World Champion.  Gunther says while he was away, he paid close attention to Priest and he has an assessment for Priest.  He says Priest is not living up to it.  Your reign has been nothing.  No prestige, no contributions.  Gunther says he understands because they are not cut from the same cloth.  He says he is here in good spirits and he wants to lift that weight off your shoulders and save you the embarrassment at SummerSlam.  He tells Priest to give him the title.

Priest says he wishes it was SummerSlam now so he can knock that smirk off your face.  While you had everything handed to you in Europe, Priest says he fought for his life.  He fought for twenty years to survive and become champion.  He says if Gunther is here just for a paycheck, they don't need him here.  It doesn't matter how good you are because Priest says he earned it.  He says Gunther is the last person to beat him.

Gunther says he will not question Priest's street credibility but being on the streets is a choice.  Your parents did not provide you with a good life.  Gunther says he was provided everything by his parents.  While you were fighting for your life on the street, WWE was begging for him to sign with WWE.  It was to avoid WWE giving people like you the opportunity to be called champion.  Who else could take the challenge to restore the honor and prestige of this great sport and the World Championship?  Gunther says there is one thing he doesn't understand.  He does not know why they love you to death.  They are just like you.  Whatever you achieve in life, you will always be street trash.

Priest says for somebody who seems to have so much clarity, it is crazy for you to not be able to see what is coming at you.  You cannot see why you lost the title at Wrestlemania.  You don't have heart.  You don't know how to fight for everything you are.  He says you will have to fight from the bottom after SummerSlam because you will have nothing.  Maybe they find out after SummerSlam if you are something more than a boring, conceited, privileged scumbag.

They go face to face but . . . 

Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring.

Jey Uso is with Adam Pearce and he suggests that Jey face Dom tonight.

Bron Breakker asks Pearce why is he giving Ilja a title match.

Adam wants to know what business it has to do with Bron.   Bron says it is about him.  Pearce says that Bron lost at Money in the Bank and he asked for hte match.

Bron says he might go and destroy everyone.  

Pearce says that he is ready to deal with Bron like he did with Drew.

Bron leaves and Pearce tells security to make sure that Bron leaves the building.
