The Ring General Gunther was on the Monday Night Show and, in the early stage of his promo, said that he was initially angry at the idea of having to face Jey Uso in his World Heavyweight Title defense at WrestleMania 41. However, he now sees it as an opportunity to humiliate him on the biggest stage possible.

Explaining that Adam Pearce couldn't resist the opportunity of his World Champion wrestling on RAW, he hand-picked an opponent - who turned out to be Akira Tozawa, in an unexpected twist.

The opening segment of this week's RAW featured the social media megastar Logan Paul. The 29-year-old secured his spot in the Elimination Chamber by defeating the one and only Rey Mysterio, and he came out to let the crowd know that he will be one of those legends whose names will be chanted—similar to John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and even CM Punk.

This was, of course, when CM Punk had already come out, much to the crowd's delight. Punk proceeded to verbally obliterate Logan Paul, and as they stood face-to-face with tension, Punk was slapped right across the face.

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill defended the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on the latest episode of RAW. The two parties have been feuding for a while now, and it intensified after The Judgment Day members were accused of attacking Jade Cargill.

Bianca and Naomi double-teamed on Liv after the match started. Raquel sent The EST into the barricade and they nailed her with a double-team Codebreaker, which got a two-count. Morgan tried to hit the Oblivion but Belair held on and Naomi tagged in. They tried to take out Liv Morgan with a double KOD but Dominik came out and distracted the referee. The match ultimately saw the women's tag team title change hands and Naomi & Bianca Belair suffered a huge loss.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

Multiple World Wrestling Entertainment employees are dealing with a drop in morale due to a heavier workload from the increased integration with UFC, a reduction of benefits, and limited pay raises. A new report from Wrestlenomics notes how WWE HQ is also experiencing a growing disconnect between corporate messaging and what employees are experiencing on a daily basis.

WWE higher-ups have publicly reiterated the value of their staff, as we've seen Triple H do numerous times, but multiple current employees stated, on the condition of anonymity, that they are feeling more and more undervalued these days. One major issue within the WWE workforce has to do with the end of the company's stock purchase program.
