Gunther, Ilja Dragunov, And Jey Uso Advance In The King Of The Ring Tournament On 5/6 WWE Raw
The 2024 King Of The Ring tournament kicks off.
The first three matches in the tournament took place on the May 6 edition of WWE Raw. In the first bout, Jey Uso was able to knock off Finn Balor via pinfall after hitting him with a spear. Drew McIntyre tried to enter the ring to take out Uso after the bout, but he was able to duck out of harm quickly.
