WWE Raw on June 8, 2026, featured Chad Gable continuing his road to making amends. Gable spoke with Penta, apologizing for past disrespect and acknowledging that "El Grande Americano came out of him not being able to handle Penta defeating him." Penta accepted the apology and directed Gable to Rey Mysterio.
\nRey also accepted Gable's apology, acknowledging his recent words and actions. However, Mysterio reminded Gable that his harsh words and actions began long before Gable donned a mask, indicating Gable's apology tour is not yet complete.
The Intercontinental Championship was on the line as Penta faced Rey Mysterio in a highly contested match. Following Penta's victory, the contest was interrupted by an attack from Rusev and Ethan Page. Dragon Lee attempted to intervene but was also neutralized. Rusev then unmasked Rey Mysterio. Chad Gable then entered the arena, accompanied by his old Alpha Academy theme music. Gable cleared the ring and, after a moment of contemplation with Rey's mask, handed it to Penta.
The segment was described as "beautiful longterm storytelling," highlighting Gable's evolution from past arrogance and disregard for others to his current earnest efforts for redemption.
Seth Rollins discussed The Vision, acknowledging that they are not the force they once were. Earlier in the show, Je’Von Evans qualified for the King of the Ring Tournament by defeating Seth Rollins, Talla Tonga, and Ricky Saints in a Fatal 4 Way match. Rollins' attempt to pin Ricky Saints was disrupted when Austin Theory pulled the referee out, and Bron Breakker speared Rollins. Je'Von Evans then finished off Ricky Saints with an OG Cutter to secure the win.
Oba Femi and Dominik Mysterio were featured, with their upcoming King of the Ring bout being a focal point. During a segment that also planted seeds for a potential future encounter between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, Oba Femi issued a warning to Dominik, stating, "while Rey Mysterio is his father, next week, he will show him who is his daddy."

Screw your family!Knight's upcoming match against Jey Uso on SmackDown was set up. Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu were also involved, with Fatu showing continued disobedience to his family's directives.
Sol Ruca retained her championship against Lyra Valkyria in a match noted as being overshadowed by other events on the show.
