It was the first Monday Night Raw of 2024 and it was also the first raw of the post Kevin Dunn era as of 12 a.m. or 12.1 a.m. midnight

Kevin Dunn no longer with W.

There was an internal memo that went around to make it official to let everybody in the company

premium seat is all they had left and it got sold so they were a legitimate

The show Fightful first reported it several days ago.

Smackdown was not that far away and he popped up, both of them did, as a surprise on Smackdown that night.

on WWE television and something like four years.

And it was a huge moment.

Right, he had that segment with Austin Theory and everybody lost their mind.
