Gunther and Jey Uso advance in the King Of The Ring tournament.
On the May 13 edition of WWE Raw, Gunther was able to continue his dominance, as he defeated Kofi Kingston via submission in a King Of The Ring tournament match. Kingston attacked Gunther before the bell and honed in on his leg, weakening it in the process. But Gunther emerged victorious and scored the submission win with a Boston Crab.

Later on in the show, Ilja Dragunov took on Jey Uso in another tournament match. The two fan-favorites battled it out and exchanged stiff strikes throughout the bout. Dragunov rocked Uso with a stiff blow, but Uso fired back with a superkick. Dragunov nearly scored the win with an H-Bomb, but in the end, Uso clinched the win with a Spear and an Uso Splash.
