Drew McIntyre makes his way to ringside and distracts Jey but Jey hits Finn with a spear and wins anyway. Drew is not happy.

Drew McIntyre is angry with Adam Pearce for taking him out of the tournament. He leaves the building and CM Punk pulls up right behind him. Pearce is glad they missed each other and Punk asks him to hit his music. He’s got something to say.

CM Punk says he’s going to hold up the show until Drew McIntyre returns. He asks Pat McAfee to tweet Drew to come back. Then Punk cuts a promo saying he watched Drew talk all this crap while he was gone and he wants his revenge no matter what. He says does Drew hate Punk or does Drew hate himself?

Punk says it doesn’t matter when. He’s gonna find Drew and he hopes he doesn’t have to go to Glasgow to get him.

  • QUEEN OF THE RING ROUND 1: IYO SKY DEF. NATALYA NEIDHART

Good match, as expected.

Dakota Kai announces she will be replacing Asuka in the tournament tonight against Lyra Valkyria. Then they send a warning to the new Women’s Tag Champs Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.

  • KING OF THE RING ROUND 1: ILJA DRAGUNOV DEF. RICOCHET

Fantastic match between these men. Everything you thought it would be. Just a little but more than a TV match but just a little less than a PPV match with just enough to leave us wanting another encounter between them.

  • QUEEN OF THE RING ROUND 1: ZOEY STARKS DEF. IVY NILE

It was really hard to follow Ricochet and Dragunov here but they worked really hard.

Bron Breakker is pissed he isnt in the King of the Ring Tournament. Adam Pearce says there is a reason for that and they go into his office.

Dom brings Carlito into the Judgement Day HQ. Carlito is looking for help with the LWO but Damien Priest isn’t interested in helping. He tells Carlito to get lost and Dom says Damien will come around.

  • Chad Gable vs Bronson Reed ends in no contest when Sami Zayn comes out and all three men start to brawl again.

Adam Pearce is waiting in the Gorilla Position and he asks why can't they follow the rules. Bronson says this is business. If Adam wants this to end, he knows what to do.

“I dont care about bangers. I care about being the greatest of all time” - GUNTHER on his match with Sheamus tonight.

Becky Lynch is out for an interview where Michael Cole talks to her about the women’s division on RAW after the Draft. A couple more minutes of this and the crowd would’ve turned.

Liv Morgan finally interrupts and asks Becky for the match she was promised. Becky agrees.

Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch for the WWE Women's World Championship is set for the King and Queen of the Ring PLE.

Damage CTRL comes out to complain about Liv Morgan getting a title shot. They go to jump Becky and Liv. Becky thinks they’re going to team up. Liv abandons her. Lyra Valkyria comes out for the save.

  • WWE QUEEN OF THE RING ROUND 1: LYRA VALKYRIA DEF. DAKOTA KAI

Great match. Great showcase for Lyra.

  • KING OF THE RING ROUND 1: GUNTHER DEF. SHEAMUS

An absolute war. These two men brutalized each other. I only wish the commercial breaks weren’t so long. It feels like we’re missing a significant chuck of an excellent match.
