Raw preview, May 6, 2024: Sheamus battles Gunther as the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments begin
The first round of the King of the Ring Tournament begins as Sheamus battles Gunther in an epic rematch from WWE Clash at The Castle.
After losing the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL, Gunther declared for the King of the Ring Tournament with the intention of taking the title of “King” to new heights.
Sheamus is looking to join Bret Hart as the only multiple-time King of the Ring winner after "Hit Man" won consecutive tournaments 1991 and 1993.
Who will come out on top in this King of the Ring opening-round match? Tune in to Monday Night Raw tonight at 8/7 C on USA to find out!
Lyra Valkyria vs. Asuka – Queen of the Ring Tournament Match
One of Raw’s newest Superstars will take on one of the brand’s best as Lyra Valkyria makes her Monday Night Raw debut against Damage CTRL’s Asuka in the opening round of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
Valkyria and Asuka are no strangers to success, as Valkyria is coming off a dominant reign as NXT Women’s Champion, while Asuka has won nearly every championship and accolade possible in WWE, with one notable exception being Queen of the Ring.
What will happen when Valkyria and Asuka clash in a high-profile, first-round match in the Queen of the Ring Tournament? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA!
Ricochet vs. Ilja Dragunov – King of the Ring Tournament Match
The Mad Dragon has arrived on Monday Night Raw, and he will be in action against Ricochet in the opening round of the King of the Ring Tournament.
Ilja Dragunov was last seen in the ring during NXT Spring Breakin’ where he lost the NXT Title to Trick Williams before being drafted later that week to the red brand.
Ricochet is enjoying his own success as he defeated Johnny Gargano on Friday, May 3, to become the inaugural WWE Speed Champion on WWE Speed, which streams exclusively on X.
Will the ferocious Dragunov punch his ticket to the next round, or will Ricochet ride his momentum? Find out tonight on Monday Night Raw at 8/7 C on USA to find out!
Zoey Stark vs. Ivy Nile – Queen of the Ring Tournament Match
Zoey Stark and Ivy Nile will square off in the opening round of the Queen of the Ring Tournament with the winner advancing to the next round of the competition.
This marks the first Queen of the Ring appearance for Stark and Nile, as both Superstars look to continue to make a name for themselves on Monday Night Raw.
Don’t miss this first-round matchup live tonight at 8/7 C on USA!
Natalya vs. IYO SKY – Queen of the Ring Tournament Match
Two of Monday Night Raw’s best face off in the first round of the Queen of the Ring Tournament as Damage CTRL’s IYO SKY takes on Natalya.
SKY is looking to regain her winning ways after losing the WWE Women’s Title to Bayley at WrestleMania XL, while Natalya suffered a knockout loss to Lola Vice at NXT Spring Breakin’ in the first-ever Women’s NXT Underground Match.
Which Superstar will punch her ticket to the next round? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA!

This is how they get ya. They lure you in with Shamus/Gunther and Rico/Dragunov and then hit you with the Natalya match

Excited for some of these matches, but I know who will replace Drew and I am much less excited. Also advertising a Zoey Stark match should be illegal.

I think GUNTHER might still be unable to leave the country so think Ilja should win the men’s. For women’s, I’m pulling for Shayna. Time to rebuild.

A Damien Priest face turn might actually be the worst thing I can think of at the moment.
