“I’ve been out of the RAW loop for a little while now. Honestly? I’m fascinated to see just how much the landscape has shifted since I last tuned in.

The changes started right at the announcers’ desk, with Corey Graves and Joe Tessitore calling the action. Joe shared that Michael Cole is finally taking some well-deserved time off, and I have to admit, I already miss him. The show definitely feels different without Cole’s calmer, familiar voice leading the way.”

Speaking of shifting landscapes, Roman Reigns was in the ring with Jey, Jimmy, and Jacob Fatu. Roman officially welcomed Jacob to the Bloodline and even presented him with his own Ula Fala—a move that clearly did not make Jey happy. Honestly, I’m not sure if I can deal with another massive storyline of Bloodline 2.0. It feels like it’s time for a major change-up.”

Over in the Queen of the Ring tournament, Iyo Sky faced Raquel Rodriguez for a spot in the semifinals. I’d been reading online that Iyo is highly rumoured to go all the way and win the crown. There’s also plenty of chatter that Stephanie Vaquer could return from injury at any moment to ensure Liv Morgan doesn’t walk away with the tournament. So, it was a bit of a surprise to see Iyo actually secure the win tonight and push forward.”

Got a question for you – Why is L.A.Knight not getting a main title run?

The surprises continued when Chad Gable stepped into the ring for singles action against Rusev, who had Ethan Page lurking in his corner. In an impressive display, Gable managed to force the powerhouse to tap out. The victory was short-lived, however, as Rusev and Page launched a brutal post-match beatdown until Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee rushed out to make the save. It left Rusev and Ethan out on the ramp, absolutely having a screaming fit over how things turned out.”

Later in the night, L.A. Knight headed down to the ring to share some thoughts, but he wasn’t alone for long. Jimmy and Jey Uso quickly joined him, and needless to say, the whole segment completely fell apart. To make matters worse, Jacob Fatu has now stormed out as well, ensuring absolute chaos.”

The intensity didn’t drop for the women’s division either, as Charlotte Flair stepped into the ring for singles action against Roxanne Perez. Alexa Bliss was in Charlotte’s corner, while Liv Morgan backed up Roxy—a combination that practically guaranteed things wouldn’t be pretty. Liv tried absolutely everything to help Roxanne steal the win, but her plans fell short as Charlotte powered her way to victory. With the win secured, Charlotte now moves on to face Liv herself in the other blockbuster Queen of the Ring semifinal this Friday on SmackDown.”

Finally, Je’Von Evans was in the ring with Jackie Redmond discussing his upcoming King of the Ring semifinal match against Jey Uso when Austin Theory and Logan Paul interrupted. Sporting an arm brace from his recent major triceps surgery, Paul clearly isn’t medically cleared to fight or anywhere near actual rehab yet. Instead, he and Theory tried to tell Je’Von that he is ‘in The Vision.’ Evans shut them down with a swift ‘Hell No.’ When Theory tried to force the issue, Evans called for a referee to start an immediate singles match. Je’Von looked ready to finish Theory off, but Bron Breakker suddenly stormed out to take Evans down. A post-match beatdown quickly followed, but it was cut short when the Street Profits hit the ring to clear the house and make the save.

Finally, the show closed out with the massive main event: the Men’s King of the Ring semifinal match featuring “Dirty” Dom facing off against the monstrous Oba Femi. The physical disparity alone was wild, with Oba Femi billed at a massive 310 lbs (140 kg) compared to Dom’s 200 lbs (91 kg). Dom threw absolutely everything he could think of at the behemoth—including a desperate low blow and an attempted attack with the timekeeper’s bell hammer. JD McDonagh even sacrificed himself to try and help, but it didn’t matter. In the end, Oba completely shrugged off the chaos, neutralised JD, and laid Dom out like a total rag doll to punch his ticket to the finals.
