Cody Rhodes vs. Jey Uso in the King of the Ring semifinals.
WWE Raw advertised the all-babyface King of the Ring semifinal as former world champions and current superfriends Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso compete to move on to the finals in Saudi Arabia.
Despite tensions overseas amid the Iran-United States conflict, plans have not changed for a Night of Champions pay-per-view this Saturday in Riyadh.
WWE Raw also advertised a sit-down interview with Goldberg, Jade Cargill vs. Roxanne Perez in a women's King of the Ring semifinal and women's Intercontinental champion Becky Lynch defending the IC Title against Bayley.

WWE Raw Highlights, Winners And Grades
Seth Rollins Kicks Off Raw
Michael Cole, joined by Corey Graves, noted that LA Knight would be out indefinitely after taking multiple Tsunamis. This suggests Knight might return tonight.
Fans sang Seth Rollins' song after a bit of posturing. When Rollins asked what they wanted, they chanted CM Punk. Rollins called them out for being fickle by chanting for everybody from Seth Rollins, to Bron Breakker, to Reigns to Punk. Fans proved him right by chanting those names. Rollins made a similar point with Cody Rhodes.
In a promo that began to drag, Rollins called out LA Knight and Penta for sticking their noses (and masks) in Rollins' business.
Bron Breakker Def. Penta
Penta started this match on fire. After a flurry of offense, fans did his 'Zero Miedo' chant, but as soon as Breakker battled back, fans barked. Seth Rollins told not lies tonight.
The fact that it's been almost three months and WWE still has no name for its top stable is crazy work.
Breakker taunted Penta by saying 'Since his first day here, he's been trying to keep up with me!'
Breakker crushed Penta with a Guerrilla Press slam onto his Bron's knees. Fans were slow to get into this match until Breakker hit his Breakkensteiner for a nearfall. Fans were legitimately disappointed after Breakker kicked out of a running Mexican Destroyer.
Penta attempted a springboard and ate a stiff Spear for the finish. After Penta's loss, Rollins told Penta this was his one warning.
Goldberg Sit-Down Interview
Backstage, Dominik Mysterio pulled out of his match against AJ Styles due to injury. 'What did he do, sprain his mustache?' said Styles.
In a sit-down interview, Goldberg said the amount of disrespect Gunther had for Goldberg was unreal.
Goldberg admitted Gunther embarrassed him in front of his wife, his kids and his fans in Atlanta.
Goldberg said Gunther put himself into this spot. Goldberg came off as very real, angry and down-to-earth in this segment. Bill ended by saying he was going to beat the f—k out of Gunther. Michael Cole confirmed this would be Goldberg's retirement match, but Goldberg nor Cole knew what would happen if Goldberg won the title.
Jade Cargill Def. Roxanne Perez
Perez played the cat-and-mouse game, which ultimately led to her controlling the match by the time Raw came back from break.
Fans went crazy for a strongwoman spot by Cargill, who snatched Perez out of midair and hit her with a fallaway slam.
Cargill sold very well as she reinjured her leg while running through Roxanne during her comeback.
Cargill hit Perez with a power bomb, but tried to go for a second power bomb. After a brief exchange with the referee, Jade switched to a Jaded for the win. Fans went absolutely crazy, and they were mostly high-pitched screams.
Gunther Responds To Goldberg
Gunther preemptively apologized to Goldberg's wife and kids for what he is going to do 'to the man that used to be called Goldberg!'
Gunther, who reminded fans it wasn't 1999 anymore, called Goldberg a 'One trick pony who can't lace my boots." This line received mostly boos but there were also smatterings of applause.
Gunther said he was going to make sure that the legacy and the myth of Bill Goldberg forever dies. Throughout the promo, support for Gunther went from nonexistent to polarizing.
Backstage, Karrion Kross received a big pop after confronting Sami Zayn yet again. Sami answered Kross' rant with a stiff punch in the face, followed by a challenge to a match. Kross and Scarlett laughed it off.
Becky Lynch Def. Bayley By Disqualification
Corey Graves did a great job painting Bayley as somebody who looks out for the next generation, bringing up Damage CTRL and talking about how Bayley spends her free time at the WWE PC.
Lynch pulled Bayley's arm out of her socket before the break. Lynch worked over Bayley's arm before Bayley made a spirited comeback. Fans were split with faint chants of 'Let's go Becky/let's go Bayley!'
Bayley continued to sell her arm with a half-crab before Beck Lynch escaped. The two went back-and-forth and before Lynch ran into the Manhandle Slam. After taking her own finisher, Lynch rolled out of the ring.
Lynch got the better of Bayley on the outside by burying her beneath office chairs. Becky wanted a countout, but Lyra Valkyria saved Bayley, removing the chairs.
After Becky took otu Lyra, Bayley buried Lynch under chairs. When the action returned to the ring, Bayley went for a flying elbow, only for Lyra to fly in and attack Becky, forcing the disqualification. A good, simple story to set up a Triple Threat.
Raquel Rodriguez Brawls With Rhea Ripley
Raquel Rodriguez cut a fiery Spanglish promo on Raquel Rodriguez leading to a brawl inside the ring between Rodriguez and Rhea.
Fans chanted for Rhea, but popped when Raquel pulled out a table.
As Ripley prepared for a Riptide through the table, Roxanne Perez hit the ring and distracted Ripley. This lead to Rodriguez putting Rhea through a table with a Tejana Bomb. Raquel embraced Perez for her sacrifice.
Cody Rhodes Def. Jey Uso
Jey Uso gave fans an encore of yeeting. Fans were behind both Rhodes and Uso, but Jey seemed to be playing the de facto heel.
Rhodes worked from underneath as Jey Uso draped himself over Cody with a sleeperhold.
Fans chanted 'This is awesome' as Cody and Jey were perched atop the ropes. Cody got the better of the exchange with a superplex.
After Raw came back from it final commercial break, Rhodes and Uso went back and forth kicking out of their signature moves, including a Spear and a Super Cody Cutter. Cody even kicked out of his own Crossrhodes.
Jey trash-talke Cody and delivered a Superkick followed by a Spear. Jey went for the Uso Splash, but Cody countered with a cutter off the top rope. Rhodes finished Jey off with a Cross Rhodes for the win.
