At Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther successfully retained his title against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. Following that, on Monday Night Raw, a number one contender’s Gauntlet match took place to determine the Ring General’s challenger for SummerSlam.

Reigns has been absent since facing off against Seth Rollins and CM Punk in the main event of night one of WrestleMania 41 in April. Both Reigns and Punk were betrayed by their long-term ally Paul Heyman during the match, who shockingly aligned with Rollins in the process.

Roman Reigns' unexpected RAW return saw him aiding Jey Uso and CM Punk, but a hesitant interaction with Punk sparked intrigue. Punk responded with a humorous Instagram post, questioning Reigns' motives with memes and a position where he feels wronged.
