WWE RAW Results
Welcome to Monday Night RAW!
Oba Femi kicks off WWE RAW
Oba Femi struts his way to the ring as the road to Night of Champions continues on Raw in Paris, France. The French crowd is fully behind The Ruler, with “Oba” chants taking over the Accor Arena. Femi takes his time acknowledging the reaction and calls the crowd wonderful.
He says he would love to spend the night basking in the fans’ admiration, but he has business to attend to. The crowd then serenades him with chants of “Oba.” Femi is clearly loving what he’s witnessing.
He says that while he and Paul Heyman don’t agree on a lot of things, they do agree on one thing: they don’t believe in predictions. Femi promises to run roughshod through his opponents on the road to Night of Champions and vows to win the King of the Ring tournament because that’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler.
Femi references his unfinished business with Brock Lesnar and vows to collect the head of The Beast. He brings up their 1-1 record and calls out Lesnar, saying he is nowhere to be seen. Femi then labels Lesnar a “big bad bitch” before demanding that he show himself.
Dominik Mysterio shows up on WWE Raw
Dominik Mysterio interrupts. The AAA Mega Champion mocks Oba Femi for focusing on Brock Lesnar when he should be worried about their King of the Ring qualifying match. The crowd repeatedly drowns out Dominik with loud “Oba” chants.
Dominik calls himself a 20-year veteran and the King of the Luchadores before proclaiming that he will become the next King of the Ring. He then tells Oba to kneel before his king, distracting The Ruler long enough for JD McDonagh to attack him from behind with a steel chair.
Oba is unfazed and punches McDonagh through the chair. He then tries to get his hands on JD, but Dominik catches him with a 619. Dom heads to the top rope, but Oba grabs him and launches him across the ring. McDonagh quickly pulls Dominik to safety as the Judgment Day duo retreats.
Oba grabs a microphone and tells Dominik he made a mistake. He warns the former Intercontinental Champion that next week he will be introduced to his daddy before we move on to the next segment.
We hear from Seth Rollins
Jackie Redmond is standing by with Seth Rollins. The former Architect references his time as the leader of The Vision before hyping up his King of the Ring tournament matchup later tonight on WWE Raw.
Rollins teases a potential showdown with Roman Reigns, mocking The OTC for never being able to win a world title on his own. He says he will reclaim the championship he never lost before we move on to the first match of the night.
Queen of the Ring Tournament Match ft. Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green plants Becky Lynch with the Unprettier and goes for the pin, but Liv Morgan quickly sneaks up behind her and rolls Green up for the three-count to secure the victory.
Winner: Liv Morgan
Grade: B+
Solid action throughout, with the French crowd serving as the highlight from bell to bell. The closing stretch was particularly entertaining, as everyone except Liv Morgan got a chance to hit their finisher. Morgan ultimately secured the victory thanks to her in-ring IQ, as Corey Graves pointed out on commentary.
Chad Gable WWE RAW cameo
Penta is preparing for his Intercontinental Championship defense against Rey Mysterio when Chad Gable shows up to a huge ovation from the Paris crowd.
Master Gable references his brief conversation with Rey Fenix on last week’s WWE SmackDown. He admits that he didn’t handle his loss to Penta on Raw’s Netflix debut like a true sportsman and instead went on a rampage against lucha libre culture.
Gable tells Penta that he’s sorry for his actions. Penta responds by saying he respects Gable for owning up to his mistakes, but there is someone else he needs to apologize to for disrespecting lucha libre culture.
The Usos and Jacob Fatu confront Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is in the locker room when he is approached by Montez Ford, who offers him good luck ahead of his King of the Ring match tonight. Rollins thanks Ford for last week’s help when The Usos and Jacob Fatu got involved.
Jey Uso then tells Seth to be careful when mentioning their family. He claims he will win King of the Ring and go on to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Rollins mocks Jey’s chances of winning the tournament and tries to stir the pot by pointing out Jimmy Uso’s absence from the bracket.
Rollins attempts to talk sense into The Usos, referencing Roman Reigns’ mind games. Jey responds by telling Jacob Fatu to handle the situation, but Fatu simply stares a hole through Rollins before walking away with The Usos.
Backstage segment ft. Lyra Valkyria & Bayley
Lyra Valkyria is warming up for her match against Sol Ruca when she is approached by Bayley, who wishes her the best ahead of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship match on WWE Raw.
WWE Sunday Night Main Event Announcement
As announced by Michael Cole on RAW, WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event returns to Madison Square Garden on July 18. The September special will be WWE Sunday Night Main Event. Here’s Fightful’s Sean Sapp with additional reporting on the event.
Sol Ruca (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria – WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title Match
Sol Ruca retains the title after catching Lyra Valkyria with a Sol Snatcher out of nowhere.
Winner and still Women’s Intercontinental Champion: Sol Ruca
Grade: B-
I agree that matches today look far more rehearsed than they did before. I think this is a byproduct of cutting down on live events. I was expecting a better showing from Valkyria and Ruca but was disappointed with what went down inside the ring.
Jacob Fatu doesn’t follow orders
The Usos confront Jacob Fatu for not following orders earlier against Seth Rollins. Jacob tells them he only acknowledges Roman Reigns. This irates Jey Uso, who tries to get in Jacob’s face, but Jimmy Uso holds him back.
Jacob says he is done talking and walks off in frustration. Jimmy tells him to just message them in the group chat before turning around to face Jey, only to find that Jey has already left.
LA Knight botch on WWE RAW
LA Knight asks for a mic, and a ringside attendant whom commentary identifies as Berkeley throws it toward him, but Knight misses the catch. The crowd boos the mishap.
Knight then asks him to throw the mic again. This time, Knight catches it one-handed, and the crowd erupts in cheers.
Knight then begins to cut his promo, hyping up the Fatal Four-Way King of the Ring qualifier this Friday on SmackDown. Knight sounds confident in his chances of winning the tournament and potentially challenging Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.
The crowd chants “OTC.” Knight says he isn’t mad at the crowd for chanting because Roman Reigns has conned them all. He expects some kind of interference from The Bloodline on SmackDown.
Knight adds that he doesn’t take orders from The Tribal Chief because he’s the chief around here. He then pokes fun at The Bloodline in a promo that heavily echoes The Rock’s style from his classic segments.
Main Event Jey Uso is now in your city. The crowd tells Jey to run his entrance back. Jey drops the mic and signals production to replay his entrance.
LA Knight has had enough and says Jey shouldn’t expect him to stand idle and do nothing. Jey grabs the mic and puts LA Knight on notice as his music starts playing again. Knight tells production to cut the music, drawing boos from the crowd.
Knight says they are right to boo, then calls Jey a “good amily man” for always standing up for his family. Knight wishes Jey good luck but caps off the promo by telling him, “Screw your family.”
Jey takes off his shirt and heads toward the ring, ready to fight, but Jimmy stops him in his tracks as the segment comes to a close.
Apology accepted
Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee are backstage when Chad Gable walks up to them. Dragon Lee cuts Gable off and tells him they are cool. Mysterio echoes the same sentiment, saying he believed Gable understood the meaning of lucha libre when he went to war with El Grande Americano in their AAA Mask vs. Mask match.
However, Rey adds that Gable still needs to reflect on his actions before he took on the mantle of the OG El Grande Americano, possibly referencing his earlier heel turn against Sami Zayn and his use of The Creed Brothers and Ivy Nile as his enforcers against Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri.
Roman Reigns appearance announced
Roman Reigns has been announced for Fanatics Fest on July 18.
Penta (c) vs. Rey Mysterio – Intercontinental Championship Match
Michael Cole acknowledges Rey and Penta’s previous outings in Mexico. Check out the highlights from their Lucha Underground match here.
Paris shows love to Rey Mysterio on WWE RAW.
Rey goes for a splash, but Penta gets his knees up. Penta then follows up with a Mexican Destroyer on the Hall of Famer for the win.
Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Penta
Penta’s victory celebration is cut short by an attack from Rusev and Ethan Page. Dragon Lee tries to make the save but is taken out as well. Rusev tears off Rey Mysterio’s mask, and Penta rushes to shield his mentor’s face.
Chad Gable arrives and takes out the heels with a barrage of suplexes before locking Ethan Page in an ankle lock, forcing Rusev to drag him out of the ring. Gable notices Rey’s mask lying at ringside and hands it to Penta, who helps Rey put it back on.
The crowd chants loudly for Master Gable as the three luchadores acknowledge his efforts, and the segment closes as WWE Raw moves on to the next part of the show.
Grade: A+
What a match and what a crowd! This was Penta and Rey’s first singles match in 10 years, and both delivered a PLE-calibre performance. That poisonrana spot looked brutal. The post-match run-in by Chad Gable to make the save and hand Rey his mask back was the perfect way to round off his lucha apology angle. Here’s hoping he gets a massive push.
Next week on WWE RAW
The following matches and segments have been announced for next week’s WWE Raw:
- IYO SKY vs. Raquel Rodriguez – Queen of the Ring semifinal
- Roman Reigns returns
- Oba Femi vs. Dominik Mysterio – King of the Ring semifinal
Judgment Day backstage segment
Roxanne Perez tells Liv Morgan she was right about thinking about the bigger picture. She hopes Liv and Raquel face each other in the finals. Liv clearly doesn’t want to hear that and instead focuses her attention on Dominik, who is still reeling from the effects of the slam from Oba Femi.
Liv, Dominik, and McDonagh leave together. Liv tells Roxanne to join them, but Roxanne says she’ll catch up with them soon.
King of the Ring Tournament Match ft. Seth Rollins, Je’Von Evans, Ricky Saints, and Tala Tonga
Bron Breakker takes out Seth Rollins with a Torpedo Spear. Ricky Saints goes for the pin, but Je’Von Evans hits an OG Cutter on Saints to break up the attempt and secure the pin for the win.
Winner: Je’Von Evans
Grade: A-
I wasn’t expecting this outcome at all, and to be honest, I’m happy that Je’Von Evans advanced to the King of the Ring semifinals. Most fans were expecting Seth Rollins to win and advance, but WWE pulled a swerve in front of one of the best crowds in France. I’m really intrigued as to how this tournament will play out with Rollins once again at the back of the line for a world title opportunity.
Overall Grade: A-
This was better than SmackDown in Italy last week. The French crowd never disappoints. The show kicked off strong with a great segment between Oba Femi and The Judgment Day. The Queen of the Ring qualifier was solid, but the personal highlight for me was the incredible match between Penta and Rey Mysterio, with Chad Gable getting his redemption being the cherry on top.
I wasn’t a fan of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship match coming out of tonight. As for the main event, Je’Von Evans winning was a big surprise. Let’s see how the loss plays out for Seth Rollins heading into WWE SummerSlam 2026.
LA Knight failing to catch the mic earlier in the show was hilarious. Knight seems to be cursed with botches, but they somehow always provide a bit of a laugh rather than taking away from his segments.
That’s it for tonight, and I’ll be back with more coverage next week.
