WWE Raw Results 8/5 - Six Man Tag Team Match, Sonya Deville Vs. Dakota Kai, GUNTHER Appears

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on August 5, 2024, coming to you live from the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland!

Chad Gable will be joining forces with Julius Creed and Brutus Creed as the trio look to seek some retribution against Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Sicks in a Six Man Tag Team Match. The Wyatt Sicks have been haunting Gable over the course of the past several weeks since witnessing interactions he has had with his former Alpha Academy teammates Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa. Gable subsequently recruited The Creed Brothers to help him after the rest of Alpha Academy distanced themselves from him, but the trio have been unsuccessful in fighting off The Wyatt Sicks.

GUNTHER will be appearing on tonight's show for the first time since dethroning Damian Priest as World Heavyweight Champion this past Saturday at WWE SummerSlam with something on his mind to share. GUNTHER received some help from Finn Balor to become the new titleholder after Balor appeared at ringside to seemingly cheer Priest on. When Priest delivered a Razor's Edge and a South Of Heaven to GUNTHER and subsequently pinned him, Balor put GUNTHER's foot on the bottom rope to break the fall.

Sonya Deville looks to keep her three match winning streak going tonight as she collides with Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai. After Deville and her allies Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark picked up a win over Lyra Valkyria, Kayden Carter, and Katana Chance during last week's edition of "Raw", Damage CTRL blindsided the trio in a post-match attack for taking them out on the July 8 episode of "Raw".

Things between archrivals Drew McIntyre and CM Punk culminated on Saturday when the two men faced off in a singles match. At different points, both men became frustrated with special guest referee Seth "Freakin" Rollins' officiating, but McIntyre ultimately was the one who emerged victorious. Following their battle, both McIntyre and Punk will be appearing on tonight's show.

Ludwig Kaiser will be making his return to "Raw" as he renews his rivalry with Sheamus as the pair go one-on-one with each other. The pair previously squared off with one another in televised singles competition on the June 3 episode of "Raw", in which Kaiser came out on top.

In addition to a commercial free first hour, "SmackDown" stars Grayson Waller and Austin Theory will be going head-to-head with The Miz and R-Truth following a verbal confrontation at SummerSlam that also involved Jelly Roll while Authors of Pain look to settle their issues with New Day when the two teams go one-on-one. The aforementioned Balor and Priest, Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, Jey Uso, and Lyra Valkyria will be appearing on tonight's show per WWE's event page.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of WWE SummerSlam.

Michael Cole and Pat McAfee then greet audiences at home as Ludwig Kaiser introduces GUNTHER. GUNTHER then makes his way down to the ring.

GUNTHER introduces himself and rattles off some of his accomplishments in WWE, then adds World Heavyweight Champion to the mix. He says if fans think that his Intercontinental Championship reign was historic, they'll have to watch and see what he does with the World Heavyweight Championship. He says he is above everyone in the ring, and says he is ready and prepared for everyone. He calls himself greatness personified, then says from this day forth, "Raw", the legacy of professional wrestling, and the legacy World Heavyweight Championship belong to him.

Randy Orton's music hits and he makes his way out. GUNTHER admits that he was caught off guard by Orton, and Orton says he wanted to come to the ring to congratulate GUNTHER on being the new titleholder. He says the World Heavyweight Championship looks good on GUNTHER, but says he can't help but think about how he's the only reason GUNTHER is the titleholder in the first place.

Orton says GUNTHER beat him in the finals of King Of The Ring 2024 to secure his title shot at SummerSlam, then questions if GUNTHER really won their match given that his shoulders weren't fully down on the mat. He says Triple H himself watched the footage and granted him a future shot at GUNTHER's title, then says he's cashing in on that. He says GUNTHER calls himself a living legend, and while that's fine, he's made a career out of killing legends. He says he'll kill another legend at WWE Bash At Berlin and walk out as the new World Heavyweight Champion. GUNTHER then accepts Orton's challenge, and the two shake hands. GUNTHER then pulls in Orton close, and tells him that nothing catches him out of nowhere. Orton says he wants GUNTHER to see it when he hits an RKO.

Sheamus then makes his way down to the ring.

Kaiser and Sheamus begin brawling on the ramp. Sheamus sends Kaiser crashing into the barricade, but Kaiser fires off right hands on him. Sheamus returns the favor, then dumps Kaiser inside the ring and joins him.

The bell sounds and Kaiser fires off a couple chops on Sheamus. Sheamus levels Kaiser with a right hand, then fires off chops and a couple stomps on him in the corner. Sheamus sends Kaiser crashing into the mat and ascends to the top, but KAiser rolls out of the ring holding his ribs. The referee checks on him and calls for medical officials to come down to the ring, but Kaiser then clocks Sheamus and rains down right hands on him, revealing it was all a ruse. Kaiser then dropkicks Sheamus into the ring steps and gets back into the ring.

The referee begins a ten count, but Sheamus beats it. Kaiser continues wearing down Sheamus in the corner, then delivers a dropkick to his knee. Sheamus sends Kaiser tumbling out of the ring, but Kaiser lands an overhand chop on Sheamus as he hangs from the bottom rope.

He lands The Ten Beats Of The Bodhran on him, then ascends to the top and hits a clothesline to him on the outside.

Sheamus dumps Kaiser back in the ring, but Pete Dunne appears out of nowhere and looks to hit Sheamus with a shillelagh. Sheamus avoids it and delivers a jumping knee to Dunne, but walks into a step-up enzuigiri from Kaiser when he gets back in the ring. Kaiser goes for a pin, but Sheamus kicks out and delivers a jumping knee to him. He follows it up with a Brogue Kick for the win.

Winner: Sheamus

Damian Priest then storms down to the ring.

Priest wastes no time and calls Finn Balor down to take the beating coming to him like a man. Balor doesn't appear, and Priest asks when Balor went from a Prince to a backstabbing coward. He says he's been on his own for most of his life until he found his way to Judgment Day. He says he's come to realize his family has gotten a whole lot bigger with the WWE Universe, then says he's enraged that Balor took the World Heavyweight Championship from his family. He says when Balor suffers, he's responsible for his pain and calls him down to the ring a second time.

Balor appears on the Titan Tron and says Judgment Day was never supposed to have a leader until Priest won the World Heavyweight Champion. He says he almost became the titleholder a year ago, but Priest ultimately cost him. He recalls Priest telling him to man up in the car after that happened, then says he did just that a year later. He says he won't be fighting Priest, but JD McDonagh will in his place. He says he'll wait until Priest feels safe and comfortable before he strikes in order to repeatedly stab Priest in his back. He says it won't just be him.

Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, Carlito, and McDonagh walk into frame to join Balor. Priest then storms up the ramp and to the back.

We then head over to Adam Pearce's office, where Bronson Reed demands a shot against Sheamus. Pearce declines to give him such, and Reed vows to take care of things himself.

Back at ringside, Lyra Valkyria makes her way out. Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville and Zoey Stark follow.

Valkyria delivers a crossbody to Baszler and turns her inside out with a pair of clotheslines, then delivers a gut wrench sit-out piledriver to her. Stark hops up on the apron as Valkryia ascends to the top, but Valkyria fights her off and dropkicks her and Deville through the middle rope. Baszler looks to surprise Valkyria with a Kirifuda Clutch, but Valkyria escapes and connects with Night Wing on Baszler. She goes for a pin, but Deville and Stark break the fall to cause the disqualification.

Winner: Lyra Valkyria (via disqualification)

After the match, Baszler, Deville, and Stark continue beating down Valkyria. Damage CTRL's music hits and they run down to the ring to brawl with the trio and even the odds.

Back from the break, we see Ivy Nile talking to The Creed Brothers. Maxxine Dupri walks in and asks Nile where she's been, and while Dupri answers, Chad Gable walks in and tells Dupri that herself, Akira Tozawa, and Otis can keep the Alpha Academy name because he's done with them. Nile then leaves with Gable.

Back at ringside, CM Punk makes his way out.

Punk points out the fact that he's smiling, then says that despite losing at SummerSlam, the Premium Live Event was never a guarantee for him due to his torn triceps as was him being in the ring to appear on tonight's show. He says he gets back up every time he's down, then says some people in WWE hate him for not staying down. He says while doctor's told him initially that his recovery window would be nine months, he did it in five months.

Punk addresses Drew McIntyre and everything he's put him through, and says SummerSlam was just the start. He says his journey to WrestleMania 41 started on Saturday, then questioned where he'd be without the fans. He says fans deserve less of him talking and more of him fighting, then says despite McIntyre vowing to put him in the ground, he's still standing.

Seth "Freakin" Rollins' music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Rollins slides off his jacket and tells Punk that like him, he's also in a good mood. He says that after ten years, it's finally time for him to put Punk in the dirt. Rollins looks to get in the ring, but Drew McIntyre's voice from the crowd stops him.

McIntyre asks what's with all the negativity because tonight is a night of celebration with his SummerSlam win. He says he's earned Punk's undivided attention, then says he shocked both him and the world on Saturday when he proved that he still has it. He says Punk is no longer the "Best In The World" because he is now, then says Rollins and Punk should be staring at him rather than each other.

McIntyre holds up his arm with Punk's bracelet, leading to Punk jumping the barricade and charging at McIntyre through the crowd. McIntyre retreats, but Punk follows him as Bronson Reed blindsides Rollins in the ring. Rollins connects with a superkick on Reed, but Reed delivers a Death Valley Driver and a pair of sentons to him. Reed then ascends to the top and delivers a pair of Tsunamis to Rollins. Officials appear at ringside to check on Rollins, but Reed ascends to the top and delivers four more Tsunamis as officials try stopping him. Reed slides out of the ring, but gets back inside and sits on the middle rope. He crosses his arms and stands tall, but officials order Reed to the back and he follows what they say.

Back from the break, we head backstage to Jackie Redmond and Adam Pearce. Pearce gives an update on Rollins and says he's on his way to a local medical facility, but becomes distracted by Punk looking for McIntyre. Pearce then tells Punk that he personally escorted McIntyre out of the ring.
