Morgan and Vega then brawled to the outside leading to Morgan sending Vega face first into the ring post. In the ring, Rey attempted to hit a move to Dom off the top rope only for Morgan to slide a chair in the ring to distract the referee and yanked Rey’s leg causing him to get crotched on the top rope and fell down to the mat. This led to Dom hitting a Frog Splash for the pinfall victory.
    • Following the match, Dom and Morgan celebrating leading to Dom giving a hug to Morgan only to quickly back off. This led to Morgan leaping on Dom who tried to keep his hands away only for the two of them to fall on the mat with Dom on top of Morgan. Dom then got close up to Morgan’s face teasing a potential kiss before being interrupted by Rhea Ripley’s music and her coming out to the ring. This led to a shocked reaction from both Dom and Morgan and Morgan scrambling out of the ring and through the crowd before Ripley could get to her.

Pat McAfee Makes Return to RAW Commentary at Monday’s RAW Show

CM Punk Addresses His Actions Costing Drew McIntyre WWE World Title at Money in the Bank 2024

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured CM Punk addressing his actions against Drew McIntyre at this past Saturday’s Money in the Bank 2024 event in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

At the start of the show, CM Punk came out and made his way to the ring. Punk stated that this past Saturday, he screwed his mortal enemy, Drew McIntyre, out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the third time. Punk talked about McIntyre cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase and how his attack resulted in McIntyre failing his cash in. After some more words, Punk stated that he has a lot to get off his chest which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Punk first congratulated John Cena on his retirement and hopes to lace up his boots against Cena one more time before Cena retires. Punk then turned his attention towards McIntyre and mocked McIntyre for not being here tonight. Punk then told the production crew to cue up the footage of McIntyre getting himself suspended after the event.

After the video ended, Punk sarcastically stated the ratings have dipped because McIntyre was on television and he came back to get his hands on McIntyre. Punk stated that for months he has been trying to teach McIntyre a lesson, which he said that there are consequences to your actions. Punk stated that you should not be shocked that when you pick a fight with CM Punk, he brings the fight back to you. After some more insults directed at McIntyre and talking about how he cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania, #1 Contender’s match afterwards, Punk stated that “CM Punk is the consequences to all of your stupid actions.” Punk then talked about how he cost McIntyre the chance to win the World title in front of his home town and again at Money in the Bank 2024. Punk stated that if they thought what he did to McIntyre at Money in the Bank was bad, that was just the tip of the iceberg. After some more words and insults, Punk stated that he wants to ask either Jack Tunney or Adam Pearce to lift McIntyre’s suspension. Punk stated that the people of Ottawa want to see Punk get his hands on McIntyre and he does not care if its a match in the ring, the parking lot, the aisle, or the people on the camera side.

This led to Seth Rollins’ music playing interrupting Punk. As Rollins made his way to the ring, Punk went to go sit at the commentary table and asked Michael Cole why he used his government name at Money in the Bank and followed it mocking Rollins’ long entrance. Rollins grabbed a microphone and invited Punk back into the ring. After some words between the two, Punk warned Rollins to watch what he says next. Rollins responded in a sarcastic tone stating that he would not disrespect the “Best in the World.” Rollins stated that since Punk is talking about how actions have consequences and why that applies to everyone in his life but Punk. After some words about what happened during his match at Money in the Bank, Rollins stated that what he can not understand is why Punk decided to do the one thing Rollins told him not to do. Rollins asked Punk why he stuck his nose in Rollins business and after some back and forth banter between the two over who’s business it was, Punk stated that he was handling his business. Punk stated he figured Rollins would understand as he is a husband and a daddy and how there is a man running around with his wife’s and dog’s name on his wrist. Punk stated that he will get his pound of flesh and has no quarrel with Rollins and what he did was personal and handled his business. Punk then tried to apologize to Rollins for costing his last chance at the World title only to then take it back right afterwards with an insult stating “I’m sorry… but because it’s you, I can’t really be that sorry, can I?”

Rollins responded stating Punk always has an excuse and this is gaslighting since Punk has probably never apologized for anything in life because nothing is ever his fault. After some more words, Rollins stated that Punk has everything figured out except for the one thing that would actually make Punk the hero he thinks he is. Rollins stated that Punk hasn’t figured out that the world does not revolve around CM Punk. Rollins stated that Punk can be a selfish bastard anywhere else and he can burn bridges anywhere else and he will let it slide because he’s above Punk. Rollins stated that he was willing to let the selfishness slide until Saturday and claimed if it were not for Punk he would be World Heavyweight Champion. After some more words by Rollins, Rollins stated that Punk took that from him so he will take from Punk, which he revealed is his Punk wanting to get his pound of flesh from McIntyre. Rollins stated that won’t happen on his watch and he could take a cheap shot at Punk but knows his fragile body isn’t 100%. Rollins then stated that when Punk is cleared, he won’t be able to say the name “Drew McIntyre” before he snaps his arm and puts him back on the shelf. Rollins then threatened Punk saying “actions have consequences” before walking away.

In a follow-up segment, Damian Priest was seen walking backstage with the rest of Judgement Day and told them to take care of their business tonight. Rollins walked up to Priest and asked him if he has a minute, which Priest responded stating that he does and dismissed the rest of Judgement Day. Rollins talked about how Priest kept his world for their World title match at Money in the Bank by not having Judgement Day be at ringside and stated that he will honor his word and not go after the title again as long as Priest is champion. Rollins stated that as good as Priest was on Saturday, he has to be better than that if he wants to keep his title at SummerSlam. Rollins then attempted to leave only to be stopped by Priest who responded stating that he kept his word and knows Rollins will do the same but he still has a lot left to prove. Priest stated that their Gentleman Agreement is out of the window and when he takes care of Gunther, he will give him another shot at his title. Priest states that Rollins can name the time and place for it.

While Dallas was speaking, each masked member of the Wyatt Sicks was shown both masked and unmasked. Dallas asked if we are sick, which Howdy responded saying he does.
