WWE is back in the United States for the post-Clash at the Castle 2024 edition of Monday Night Raw.

Drew McIntyre will likely be in a foul mood after being screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship courtesy of CM Punk. McIntyre had Damian Priest beat at this past Saturday's PLE, but a ref bump changed the course of the match. Punk appeared and walloped McIntyre with a low blow, allowing Priest to hit South of Heaven to score the pin.

How will "The Scottish Warrior" respond to CM Punk once again spoiling his plans?

Priest said while he respects Rollins, this isn't his show anymore. Rollins said he actually grew a set unlike Priest.

Priest offered Rollins a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank 2024. Rollins said it's on.

Backstage, Chad Gable asked Adam Pearce for another shot at the Intercontinental title. Pearce said Gable needs to go to the back of the line, but he has the perfect opponent for him tonight.

Backstage, Finn Balor told Damian Priest that he trashed Liv Morgan's key card and got upset with Damian for being accused of doing something nefarious. Priest told Balor to relax.

Balor teased winning Money in the Bank and cashing in the briefcase on Priest, but he said he'd use the contract on Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
