WWE has announced the following matches and events for tonight’s WWE Raw television show.
-Jey Uso vs. Ilja Dragunov in a King of the Ring tournament quarterfinal match
-Gunther vs. Kofi Kingston in a King of the Ring tournament quarterfinal match
-Lyra Valyria vs. Zoey Stark in a Queen of the Ring tournament quarterfinal match
-Iyo Sky vs. Shayna Baszler in in a Queen of the Ring tournament quarterfinal match
-Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch vs. Dakota Kai in a non-title match
Powell’s POV: WWE announced Kai as Lynch’s opponent since our previous update. Kofi Kingston beat Rey Mysterio and Shayna Baszler beat Maxxine Dupri in tournament matches were held at Sunday’s live event in Macon, Georgia. Dupri replaced Zelina Vega, who was not medically cleared. The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will conclude at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE on Saturday, May 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the Jeddah Super Dome.
Tonight’s Raw will be held in Greenville, South Carolina at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Join me for my live review as the show airs Mondays at 7CT/8ET. Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons) have exclusive access to my weekly same night Raw audio reviews.
