WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER will make his RAW debut next Monday night in Greensboro, NC at the Greensboro Coliseum. There has been no mention of an opponent.
“Next week, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the 21st century will appear on Monday Night Raw for the first time since being selected by the red brand in the 2023 WWE Draft. Since debuting on SmackDown last year, Gunther and his Imperium brethren have taken over the blue brand, protecting their sacred mat with each of The Ring General’s title defenses. Gunther ran through a plethora of SmackDown Superstars with names like Ricochet, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio and Drew McIntyre all victims of Gunther’s vicious in-ring style. With the red brand now the home of Gunther and Imperium, The Ring General looks poised to continue to run roughshod. Don’t miss Raw next week when Gunther makes his red brand debut at 8/7 C on USA!,” WWE noted in their official RAW preview.
GUNTHER has previously defeated Dolph Ziggler on RAW on March 27 during the WrestleMania 39 go-home show. Imperium also appeared on the RAW XXX show in January, losing to Seth Rollins and The Street Profits. On Monday night’s RAW following Backlash, Imperium’s Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser were defeated by Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville will also compete for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on next week’s RAW. They are currently scheduled to face Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, but if Damage CTRL’s Bayley and Dakota Kai win the straps on Friday’s SmackDown, that will change.
Finally, WWE is planning a match between The Miz and Shinsuke Nakamura for next Monday.
“Following his appearance on ‘Miz TV’ after being drafted by Raw, The King of Strong Style has been destined to clash with The A-Lister. Nakamura humiliated The Miz on his own show, mocking him before nailing him with a Kinshasa. This past Monday, both were unsuccessful in the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, with The Miz confronting Nakamura after their matches. Nakamura did not take kindly to Miz’s choice words, setting up this clash. Can Nakamura gain his first win since being drafted by Raw, or will The Miz get retribution after being humiliated? Find out next week at 8/7 C on USA!,” WWE wrote in the official RAW preview.
