Drew McIntyre & Damian Priest Segment 

Drew McIntyre: I mean, maybe if we were in Atlanta or Charlotte, but Punk is not going to show up in Greenville. He’ll only make the big towns, brother. When Punk said, when pushed, he’s Satan, himself. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist. Well, the greatest trick CM Punk ever pulled was looking like a drug addict without ever taking any drugs. No, the greatest trick he ever pulled was convincing you to trust him, time and time, again, no matter how many times he breaks your trust. Management, CM Punk fans, you keep taking him back, it’s like an abusive relationship, I don’t understand it. The other thing I don’t understand, is that you buy all the crap that he spews out of his mouth every week. I don’t like talking to people like they’re stupid, but if you’re a CM Punk fan, you’re stupid.

Just look at the facts. Last week, he was in this ring calling me a coward, challenging me to a fight. You literally watched me leave the arena in my car. He arrived one second later, came to the ring, and started talking his trash. It’s like he’s a got a stooge on the inside, Adam Pearce. And the week before that, I was on the stage, he was in the skybox, I go to the skybox, and he’s in the ring. He’s running from Drew McIntyre. Punk, eventually, I’m going to get my hands on you, and I will torture you, and you will beg me to tear your triceps. But until then, I’m not going to waste my time on a guy that might not be cleared for another 20 years. Speaking of things that’ll never happen, Jey Uso lost another title match. My title match. His reward, my spot in the King Of The Ring, it’s complete bullshit. I will deal with you later, Jey. The number one thing on my priority list, is the World Heavyweight Championship, and that paper champion, Damian Priest. I’ve been watching you backstage, Priest, walking around like you’re the big man with your bootleg Bloodline.

Damian Priest: Drew, you got some serious issues, dude. Since you can’t shut that hole in your face, why don’t you do something different tonight? I’m thinking, you actually say what you’re going to say, but say it to someone’s face.

Drew McIntyre: I would love to say it to somebody’s face, but if you were listening, CM Punk keeps running away from me every single week. But since you’re being a man, you are stepping up to me right now, I’m going to say something positive about you. Because I know your story. You have a very, very inspirational story. You worked your ass off for years. You put a shift in. You paid your dues. You deserve all of the success in the world. You just don’t deserve to be champion. My next-door neighbor Dave has a very inspirational story, but that doesn’t mean he should be the World Heavyweight Champion. This is a case of the title making the man. The Raw title is in its infant stages, it needs the man to make the title, it needs Drew McIntyre. And you knew, you couldn’t beat me one-on-one, so you had to use that briefcase and cash in.

Damian Priest: Stop, stop, stop. Man, you are delusional, dog. No, no, no. You are out here blaming everybody else for your failures. Let me ask you a question. Did you not choose this life? I mean, you chose to be a WWE Superstar, right?

Drew McIntyre: I’ve been a WWE Superstar since I was 21, say what if you think he’s a BS Champion?

Damian Priest: I’m still the champion. No, but check it out, you know what you should choose to do, Drew. Choose to find a mirror. Look at the reflection and blame that asshole. I’m going to break it down for you, right. I wanted to cash in on Seth Rollins, man, I really did. And then you and I, we could’ve gone to war at WrestleMania, but you stopped me from cashing in, multiple times. That’s your fault. No, no, no, wait, then you explained to the world, that if I was smart, I would wait for you beat to Seth, and then cash in on you. What happened? That’s on you. Let’s talk about WrestleMania, Drew. You finally achieved your goal. All you had to do was leave. All you had to do was grab your wife’s hand, and go enjoy your moment, and then what happened. You saw Punk, and you made Punk more important than yourself, this championship, and you made Punk more important than your wife. Wait, Drew, let’s not forget the part that you proceeded to get your ass kicked by a one-arm man. So, yeah, I cash-in. Now, you know what, your elbow will get healed, you’re going to get cleared. So, what, you want a shot at the world title? Fine, you got it. But check this out, Drew, you can call me a paper champion all you want, but when I’m done with you, you’re going to eat those words. Now you all can rise to that.

– Damian Priest finds Carlito once again in The Judgment Day’s Clubhouse. Dominik says that they should work together despite their history. Carlito knows too well that Rey Mysterio is a selfish bastard. Rhea is out, Dominik is injured, they could use some more muscle according to Carlito. Everything Carlito is saying is fine with Damian, if the boys want to work with him, great. As far as he’s concerned, Carlito is not in The Judgment Day. Carlito understands that Damian doesn’t trust him. Carlito says that the most stubborn of minds can be changed. Maybe one day they all can be amigos.

– Coming out of the commercial break, we see Chad Gable giving The Alpha Academy another lecture backstage. He points out that Maxxine Dupri blown her opportunity in Queen Of The Ring yesterday. It’s pathetic, she hasn’t learned anything. Fortunately, Gable has come up with a better solution. Tonight, Otis will battle Sami Zayn. He doesn’t want Otis to shake his hips, he needs to see the serious side of Otis, no matter what. Akira Tozawa will have a big opportunity against Bronson Reed, and he better not do that dance.

Maxxine says that Coach Gable doesn’t want to her train to outside of the academy anymore. Ivy says that Maxxine doesn’t have to put up with Gable’s nonsense.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Kofi Kingston. Kofi has done the unthinkable time and time again over his legendary career. With GUNTHER being his next opponent, how is he preparing to do the unthinkable yet again? Not to toot his own horn, he’s quite aware that he’s good with accomplishing the unthinkable. Tonight is about that; tonight is about payback. His match with Rey Mysterio reminded him of a couple of things. No room for fear in that ring. There’s no room for self-doubt. There’s no room for failure because he knows how much KOTR means to Xavier Woods. That’s something GUNTHER will never understand. Being the king brings honor. GUNTHER was responsible for Xavier not being able to defend that honor. Woods knows that Kofi is ready to go out there and beat the crap out of GUNTHER. Kofi will go out there, and he will show the world why, New Day Rocks!

– We see R-Truth talking to Adam Pearce in his office. The Miz is concerned that Truth is setting up title matches behind his back. Pearce reassures Miz that they’re not defending the titles tonight. It’s time to find them new number one contenders. Kiana James joins the conversation. She’s looking forward to working under Pearce’s tutelage. She’s here to leverage this opportunity to the fullest and to show the world why she’s the one percent. Pearce says that Kiana has the right attitude, and if she needs anything, make sure to give him a call. Truth gets confused by Kiana’s use of the word adjudicate as she exited the office. Truth doesn’t even know if adjudicate is even PG.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Ludwig Kaiser. She brings GUNTHER’s history with the remaining competitors on the Raw side of the KOTR Tournament. The last time GUNTHER was in the ring with Ilja Dragunov, Dragunov choked him out at NXT Takeover 36. The last time GUNTHER was in the ring with Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso’s interference helped him keep hold of the Intercontinental Title. Kaiser has no time for Cathy’s accusations. GUNTHER doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody. If Sheamus believes that he lost the match because of Kaiser, he must be delusional. Kaiser knows that Sheamus has had an amazing career, but the one thing he hasn’t done is defeat The Ring General. Sheamus should be standing here thanking Kaiser for saving him last week. If Sheamus has a problem with that, Kaiser has no problem taking him out of his misery and embarrassing him in front of the entire world.

– Adam Pearce tells Jackie Redmond that there will be a Fatal Four Way Match to determine the number one contenders to the World Tag Team Champions, The Awesome Truth. Why was Bron Breakker not allowed to participate in the KOTR Tournament? Pearce knows that Bron has unlimited potential. He doesn’t want to shove Bron into the deep end. Bron tells Pearce that his opponents in the KOTR would’ve been in the deep end with him, not the other way around. He would watch all of them drown and smile. He should’ve been in the tournament.
