This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw aired live from Greenville, South Carolina and the show featured some appearances from familiar SmackDown names such as Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and more.
As the show was coming to an end Jacob Fatu returned and shortly after The Bloodline brawled with 946 before Roman Reigns challenged 946 to a WarGames match at Survivor Series.
After the show went off the air the action continued as Trick Williams faced off against Gunther in a dark match. Many fans were surprised to see that Trick Williams defeated Gunther clean after he hit the former World Heavyweight Champion with the Bookend.

Several fans have pointed out that Trick is from South Carolina, so WWE most likely wanted to give him a big victory to send the fans home happy. However, Gunther’s booking has been heavily criticized throughout the year as some believe that WWE dropped the ball with The Ring General after he retired Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles.
Originally it was rumored that Finn Balor vs. Gunther was supposed to be added to the Crown Jewel card, but it was recently reported that Gunther did not want to go to Saudi Arabia for the event.
