Before Monday Night RAW’s festivities, WWE had a presence at another event on Labor Day 2024 with the battle between Joey Chestnut and Takera Kobayashi settling their hot dog eating contest rivalry in the Netflix special, Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef.
Hosted by Rob Riggle and Nikki Garcia (Nikki Bella), there was a surprise appearance also by WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio (in a Team Joey shirt) and Omos (sporting a Team Kobi shirt), there to give their insight, as well as present a special WWE Championship title belt to the winner.

With a score of 83 hot dogs, Joey Chestnut won the contest, beating the world record previously set by him at 76. No slouch in his loss, Kobayashi was able to put away a whopping 66 hot dogs (1 being deducted one for leftovers remaining).

How many hot dogs do you think you could eat in 10 minutes? Will this be better than tonight’s Raw? Should I have incorporated a “raw dog” pun somewhere in this article? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
