It's time for The King's Court. After "The King" Jerry Lawler makes excuses for losing to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at King of the Ring, he calls the crowd "garbage" and brings out tonight's guest, whom he claims looks just like them: Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. He tells Droese to stay out of the ring and "downwind of him." Droese tells Lawler he stinks too much even for him. Lawler is still stung that Droese dumped garbage on him on Superstars, and interrupts Droese every time he tries to speak. Droese finally has enough and walks out, but Lawler runs out of the ring and attacks Droese with his own trash can.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart tells Diesel that a diesel can't outrun a Porsche, and that he's going to take him down. There is also speculation that Bret may have a family member in his corner.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper tells "The King" Jerry Lawler that he'll be happy to guest on The King's Court as he takes potshots at him.

He then introduces this week's guest, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper...or so we think. The person who shows up is a very skinny guy who impersonates Piper down to his accent, much to Lawler's pleasure and Piper's expense. He wants to back out, so Lawler lets him kiss his feet and crawl on his knees out of the ring, which he does.
Razor Ramon beats Keith Davis. (Believe it or not, this is the WWE debut of Jeff Hardy, who wrestled under the Keith Davis name for that night after the original guy scheduled to face Razor Ramon backed out at the last minute.)
Paul Bearer knows that "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase is looking for The Undertaker, and doubts that DiBiase will be able to "buy" The Undertaker.

Crush shows up as if on cue, and says Luger doesn't have to guts to face him man-to-man and attacked him from behind because of that.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 9, 1994
Razor Ramon beats Kwang to earn a slot in the upcoming King of the Ring Tournament.
Thurman "Sparky" Plugg takes on Bam Bam Bigelow next week on Raw. The winner gets a slot in the King of the Ring tournament and faces Razor Ramon in the first round. Meanwhile, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is returning to the WWF at King of the Ring, when he takes on "The King" Jerry Lawler. Piper makes it clear on the set of Tough But Deadly that he's sick of Lawler's crap, and he's taking him on one more time even though he has nothing to prove. He also says that if he beats Lawler, his winnings will go to a hospital for sick children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as Lawler called some sick children in said hospital "brats."
Crush beats Raymond Roy.
Duke "The Dumpster" Droese says he's coming to the World Wrestling Federation soon.
Doink beats Mike Terrace. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews "Double J" Jeff Jarrett via telephone, and Jarrett mocks Doink prior to their match.
We hear from Earthquake, who talks about his brief sumo career and his transition to the WWF. He says he has a lot to prove in the WWF, which is why he has returned.
It's time for The King's Court. After mocking "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's recent comments about him, he wishes Piper would be a guest on his segment so he can say them to his face. He then introduces this week's guests: Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Lawler and Cornette mock Earthquake's sumo career, and Cornette says that Earthquake only talks about what he can do when Yokozuna proves it in the ring on a regular match. Cornette accepts the challenge, and makes it a little more interesting: make the match a sumo match. Lawler doesn't think Earthquake will go for it, but loves the idea. Cornette asks Lawler to see if Earthquake will accept the challenge, as Lawler is the only one who can get the scoop.
The Undertaker has been seen again, this time by a lawn care company.
Mabel beats Mike Bell. During the match, Randy Savage reads a note left to him saying that Earthquake has accepted Jim Cornette's sumo match challenge against Yokozuna.
"The King" Jerry Lawler interviews Earthquake backstage. Lawler asks Earthquake if he's nuts, and Earthquake responds by scaring the crap out of Lawler and saying he'll kick Yokozuna's butt. Lawler keeps testing Earthquake, which causes Earthquake to scare the crap out of Lawler again.
