WWE Raw Highlights
The Bloodline Attacks Eric Andre
Roman Reigns opened the show alongside Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Jacob Fatu. Reigns celebrated Jey advancing in the King of the Ring tournament and made sure the crowd also acknowledged Jimmy. The focus then shifted to Fatu, with tension briefly rising before Jacob made it clear that the only person he acknowledges is Roman.
Reigns responded by officially welcoming Fatu into the Bloodline. He presented him with a traditional garland and spoke about the family’s legacy, from past generations to the present day. Jacob accepted and stood with the group as all four men raised their ones together.
Things took a wild turn on the way out. After comedian Eric Andre touched Fatu’s garland at ringside, Jacob snapped and dragged him into the ring. Fatu attacked Andre with headbutts before Roman encouraged him to continue. Jacob hit two diving splashes on the comedian while the Bloodline stood tall. Reigns ended the segment with a warning, saying anyone who forces their hand can expect the same treatment.
IYO SKY vs Raquel Rodriguez (QOTR Semifinals)
IYO SKY and Raquel Rodriguez battled for a spot in the Queen of the Ring final. Raquel threw IYO around the ringside area and even lawn-darting her into the ring post before the break. The action spilled outside again, with both women using the announce desk during the hard-fought match.
In the closing moments, IYO hit a sunset flip powerbomb from the corner and followed it with her signature diving moonsault for the victory. With the win, IYO SKY advanced to the Queen of the Ring final.
Chad Gable vs Rusev
Chad Gable scored a huge win over Rusev in a hard-hitting match. Gable started strong with his wrestling skills and repeatedly targeted Rusev’s ankle. But the Bulgarian powerhouse answered with heavy strikes and brutal attacks around ringside. Ethan Page also got involved, helping Rusev gain control before the commercial break.
Back in the ring, Gable fought through the punishment and locked in the ankle lock multiple times. Rusev nearly finished the match with the Accolade and a Machka Kick, but Gable refused to stay down. After escaping another attack and hitting an Olympic Slam, Gable trapped Rusev in the ankle lock once again and forced him to submit for the victory.
LA Knight Confronts The Usos
LA Knight opened the show by addressing his King of the Ring loss. He said people told him to take time off after Friday, but he refused because he had to come home to Baltimore. Knight blamed Solo Sikoa for costing him the match and mocked the Bloodline, accusing them of always using numbers to get ahead.
Jimmy Uso came out and insisted Solo was no longer part of the Bloodline. Jey Uso then joined them and demanded that Knight acknowledge him after beating him in the tournament. Knight pretended to agree before telling Jey he could “kiss his ass,” which sparked a fight.
Jimmy tried to keep the peace, but the situation quickly broke down. Jey grabbed a chair and brawled with Knight, while Jimmy got involved as well. Just when Knight seemed to be handling both brothers, Jacob Fatu stormed to the ring and attacked him. Fatu dropped Knight with the Tongan Death Grip chokehold before leaving with Jey and Jimmy as Knight struggled to recover in the ring.
Charlotte Flair vs Roxanne! Perez
Charlotte Flair defeated Roxanne Perez in a competitive match to advance. Perez focused on Charlotte’s arm throughout the bout, even trapping it against the ring post before taking control during the commercial break. She nearly scored the win with a cross armbar, La Mistica, and a springboard moonsault, but Flair kept fighting back.
Late in the match, Liv Morgan tried to distract Charlotte by getting involved at ringside, but Alexa Bliss neutralized the interference. That allowed Flair to regain momentum with a big boot and handspring lariat. After escaping Pop Rox, Charlotte locked in the Figure Four and bridged into the Figure Eight. Perez had no choice but to tap out, giving Flair the submission victory.
Dominik Mysterio vs Oba Femi (KOTR Semifinals)
Oba Femi dominated Dominik Mysterio to advance to the King of the Ring final. Dominik spent the early part of the match avoiding contact, repeatedly leaving the ring and hiding in the ropes while trying to frustrate the powerhouse.
Once Oba recovered, the match quickly swung in his favor. He stopped another hammer attack, chokeslammed both Dominik and JD, and took complete control. Femi finished Dominik with Fall From Grace for the win.
Afterward, Oba delivered a confident message, saying he is one victory away from becoming King of the Ring. He also called out Brock Lesnar, accusing him of avoiding a showdown and promising that his own legacy will be remembered as the Beast Slayer and King of the Ring.
