5/5 WWE RAW REPORT: JEY DEFENDS THE TITLE, IYO IS TOO NICE, PAT AND GUNTHER SPEAK, RUSEV WRESTLES, PENTA VS JD, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2025-05-05 22:32:00

Adam Pearce is in the ring and he brings out Pat McAfee and Gunther.

He says that they will not have what happened before happen tonight. He wants both men to be professionals.

Gunther says he won’t do anything tonight. He will not spoil that for himself. He says unlike Pat and his friend out there, he is professional.

Pat says he heard Gunther talk about being a professional and his friend out there. His friend is a goat out there. For twenty-eight years, every single week of his life, except for three times, he has dedicated to traveling the world for this company. He has earned the right to have an opinion and you attacked a sixty year old man. He says he wants to give Gunther his opinion of him.

He says he likes that he is in Omaha. He thinks of the Cornhuskers. He thinks of steaks and nobody beats their meat. Across from this arena is a baseball field that has hosted the College World Series since 1950. This city is a symbol of working hard and dreams coming through. He says dreams is a good word because they have a lot in common.

Pat says he is from the United States and you are from Austria. We both grew up with the same dream. We wanted to be in this business. We grew up idolizing the superstars. We grew up watching wrestling thinking we were put on Earth to do this. The problem with you and your dream is that you have been doing this for twenty years. You have been champion for eighty percent of the time. You have become jaded. This is a job for you.

Pat says he gets jacked up on life every time he walks into a building. He thinks about the kids who were just like him believing that he could get in this ring and tell a**holes like you that we don’t like you. You don’t want it any more. You have gotten too comfortable. It happened with Sami Zayn and Jey Uso. It will happen on Saturday and I will show that this version of Gunther is soft.

Gunther asks Pat if he enjoyed spending time with his daughter on her birthday. You have gotten me into the right mood. I will show up prepared and more focused than before. I promise my full and undivided attention. On Saturday, that bell is going to ring and I am going to beat you up. I am going to maul you and drive your head into this mat. I am going to choke you out until you drop like a wet towel.

Gunther says tonight, by my grace, you are untouchable. On Saturday, only the grace of God can lift my arms off your throat.

Gunther tosses his mic and Pat and leaves the ring.

We are told that John Cena will be on Smackdown this week.

Next week, AJ Styles faces Finn Balor.  War Raiders face American Made.  Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley face Giulia and Roxanne Perez.
