The latest episode of WWE RAW was mind-blowing! The promotion had unbelievable surprises for the fans, especially within just one live show, not even a premium live event!

Following the June 17, 2024, episode of Monday Night RAW, fans have a picture of how the next few months will look but, then again, no one can quite say for sure in WWE!

Let's take a look at the shocks and surprises of the latest red show:


#4. Otis finally snaps and attacks Chad Gable

Chad Gable has claimed that 'The Alpha Academy' is a family, but he treated Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa with the utmost disrespect and humiliation. WWE teased Otis turning on Gable but somehow he kept his composure and helped Dupri and Tozawa fight against Gable's ruthlessness.

On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Chad Gable lost to Braun Strowman and tried to unload his frustration on The Alpha Academy. He called Otis, Dupri, and Tozawa to the ring and pulled on Tozawa's ear. When Dupri took a stand, he knocked away her crutch and told her to leave the ring.

Akira Tozawa tried to leave the ring with her, but Gable stopped and slapped him. This was the final straw for Otis. He turned around and pushed Chad, which sent The Alpha Academy leader flying into the turnbuckles.

The fans cheered while Otis, Tozawa, and Dupri walked away from a shocked Chad Gable.


#3. Uncle Howdy makes his debut with the Wyatt Sicks

The highly anticipated return of Uncle Howdy has finally happened! Since April, WWE has been teasing this via QR codes, which led to riddles and bizarre messages. The final one led to a countdown that ended on WWE RAW.

The June 17, 2024, edition of WWE RAW concluded with Uncle Howdy debuting the Wyatt Sicks with (seemingly) Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy. The entire segment resembled a Halloween scene, perfectly capturing supernatural elements.


#2. Drew McIntyre quits WWE RAW

The Scottish Warrior lost to Damian Priest at Clash at the Castle 2024. The loss probably wouldn't have stung as much as it did had CM Punk not interfered during the title match.

McIntyre pinned The Archer of Infamy but there was no referee for the count as he has been knocked out. The Voice of the Voiceless then dressed up as the ref and entered the ring but stopped the count at two. The distraction proved beneficial for Priest, and he secured the victory. This was the third time Punk's interference had cost Drew McIntyre a critical win.

On the latest episode of WWE RAW, McIntyre arrived in the ring looking angry and emotional, with the fans chanting "CM Punk." He kept his segment short and straightforward and said, "I can't do this anymore. Scr*w this company, I quit." He left the mic in the ring and walked up the ramp.

RAW's General Manager, Adam Pearce, tried to reason with him, but The Scottish Warrior seemed determined as he walked backstage.


#1. Seth 'Freakin' Rollins is back!

The Visionary kicked off WWE RAW, marking his return to the ring since WrestleMania XL. Fans couldn't stop singing his song, and the commentators were over the moon.

Rollins welcomed back the WWE Universe to Monday Night Rollins, and the fans went berserk. He was about to announce himself for the Money in the Bank ladder match when Damian Priest interrupted him. The former World Heavyweight Champion and the current World Heavyweight Champion spoke at length about their legacies and who was the better champion.

Finally, Damian Priest told them not to worry about ladder matches or briefcases and offered Seth Rollins a title match for Money in the Bank. Well, The Visionary accepted! This is the power of being Seth 'Freakin' Rollins. He returned after months and immediately scored a title match at the next premium live event.
