Backstage Acclaim for Last Week’s RAW Main Event
In the lead-up to this transformative episode, WWE RAW delivered a memorable main event featuring Gunther defending his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable. The match served as Gable’s final opportunity to dethrone Gunther before he would become the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history.

“If you get a standing ovation in Gorilla, you made it. Chad Gable and GUNTHER had this amazing main event [on Raw] and they came back and there’s nothing we can do but clap for that, that piece of business. Bringing family to a show, it’s as real as it gets, you know? And Chad did amazing and I do hope that Chad finds the Intercontinental Championship. I hope he finds it.”
