Gunther looked to get under Seth Rollins’ skin on the latest edition of the red brand. The Ring General confronted The Visionary and informed him that he would be coming for the World Heavyweight Championship after winning the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match.

Later on, The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods faced off against Imperium’s Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser. Their match ended in a Double Count-Out, after which Kofi laid down a challenge for The Ring General. WWE made the match official for the next episode of RAW after the 2024 Royal Rumble.
