00:01WWE World is returning to Las Vegas April 16th to the 20th as the ultimate
00:05WrestleMania week destination and the lineup keeps getting better.
00:09Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Kairi Sane and Asuka, and
00:12the New Day's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are joining the fun.
00:15Tickets are on sale now at WWEWorld.com.
00:19Meanwhile, here tonight on Monday Night Raw,
00:21we are still reeling after the confrontation between Dominic Mysterio and
00:25Finn Balor moments ago.
00:31Maybe you are just a spoiled little-
00:39And, Corey, you felt like this was brewing for a long, long time.
00:45But I never thought it would implode like it did moments ago.
00:49Moments before this, Finn Balor referred to the Judgment Day as a family,
00:54said they need to stick together, and instead, they stuck the knives in Balor's back.
01:00Yeah, the...
01:03Rey...
01:03Dominic Mysterio with that hammer in hand that he wanted to use last week,
01:08that he wanted JD McDonough to give to him, and now a loaded boot with the hammer,
01:12the 619 to Balor, and at this point, Balor is defenseless.
01:15Balor was out cold, but just for good measure, two frog splashes, the second onto his steel chair,
01:23executed by Dirty Dominic Mysterio on former Judgment Day member, Finn Balor.
01:31Javon, you have hit the ground running.
01:33Uh-oh.
01:33What you did in the chamber at your age, man, are you kidding me?
01:36Unheard of.
01:37I appreciate it.
01:382026?
01:39Gonna be a huge year.
01:41Yeah?
01:41Yeah.
01:41Yeah, I appreciate it.
01:42I ain't gonna let you down.
01:43I know you won't.
01:43Yeah?
01:44Hey, enjoy your week.
01:45The week?
01:45Keep it bouncing for me.
01:46The rest of the week?
01:47Bouncing!
01:47The week off?
01:49Say less.
01:50Yo, Javon, man.
01:51Yeah, you think we forgot about Atlanta?
01:52Nah, lad, we don't forget about- Hold on, hold on, hold on, man.
01:55What?
01:56Let me talk to the kid, man.
01:57Can you give us a minute?
01:58You want me to leave?
01:59Bro, what's the problem?
02:00Give us a minute, bro.
02:01Okay.
02:05Hey, man.
02:07Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot the other week, okay?
02:11Woods got injured, Offset was completely out of line, and I got offended.
02:15I got mad, and I took it out on you, and I'm sorry, bro.
02:18The fact of the matter is that I see a lot of myself in what you're doing right now, man.
02:24You remind me of a young me.
02:26Back in the day, I used to be that kid that came in with all these new moves,
02:30doing things that nobody else could do.
02:31You know what I'm saying?
02:32And I took that momentum and that potential, and I became the WWE Champion.
02:36Javon, that could be you, bro.
02:38I believe that, man.
02:40The thing is, is that you just gotta have the right team around you.
02:45You know what I'm saying?
02:46No, I get you, but come on.
02:48Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
02:50You don't have to answer right now, okay?
02:52You don't have to answer right now.
02:54All I'm saying is that I know you got dreams, and you don't have to do it alone.
02:59You know what I'm saying?
03:02I got you.
03:03Got you.
03:04Think about it, man.
03:05That's all I'm saying.
03:11I'm backstage with Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
03:15Bayley, congratulations.
03:16I am so happy for you.
03:18You are officially the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship after winning tonight's gauntlet match.
03:24This is a huge opportunity, and it's happening next week.
03:27How pumped are you?
03:30I am pumped.
03:32First, kudos to you.
03:34I couldn't have done it without you.
03:35I mean, maybe I could have, but did you see her flying the camera?
03:38I think Asuka and Kari forgot that this bird got wings because she flew right in.
03:43You're in the cool, dude.
03:44Yeah, you're in the cool.
03:45I appreciate you being there for me, so thank you.
03:47No, seriously, though.
03:47You absolutely should be the next Women's Intercontinental Champion.
03:51I appreciate that.
03:53Next week is huge.
03:55I mean, somebody like AJ Lee, she's obviously a legend and somebody that we've all looked up to.
03:59And if it weren't for her, a lot of us would not be here right now.
04:02So it's going to be an honor to step into the ring with her.
04:05As one of my very good friends in this business, it's just a title that I haven't been able to
04:11win yet,
04:11and it's one that I've been wanting to win since it's come out.
04:14I've been in big matches for it, and I cannot wait next week to get my hands on it.
04:18And once I win that championship, I love you, AJ.
04:21Maybe we can run it back if you want another shot.
04:25You can be first in line.
04:26What do you think?
04:27Maybe.
04:27We'll talk about it later.
04:28We're going to celebrate, right?
04:30Yep.
04:31Fire up.
04:31Let's go.
04:32We'll talk about it later.
04:33Well, congrats.
04:35Congrats again.
04:35You have fun firing up.
04:39Whooa.
04:54Whoah!
04:58One!
05:00The Quick Figure
05:01One!
05:02One!
05:03One!
05:04One!
05:04Two!
05:05One!
05:12Oh
05:30The following contest is skiffed up for one fall
05:34Introducing first, from Legos, Nigeria, weighing in at 310 pounds, Obafemi!
05:46Ladies and gentlemen, after destroying Johnny Gargano this past Friday night on SmackDown,
05:53the free agent Obafemi heads into his first match ever on Monday Night Raw.
05:59He meets Rusev next.
06:41The ruler Obafemi, Corey, has taken WWE by storm.
06:46No doubt about it, the moment the war drums hit, everybody in this arena stood up on their feet to
06:53receive the bringer of war.
06:58Interesting matchup here tonight because the man he faces, Rusev, is the man that Obafemi eliminated in the Royal Rumble
07:07match.
07:17In Vegas, everything's a game.
07:22Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
07:26Just tension.
07:30Every move measured, every look, a strategy sharpened.
07:38Always watching your back.
07:45Prepared for anything.
07:52Never knowing who the real threat is.
08:02Or who might show up at the table.
08:14Wrestlemania Vegas.
08:16Wrestlemania Vegas.
08:19It's anyone's game.
08:53His opponent, from Bulgaria, weighted for 270 pounds.
09:04The Bulgarian lion, Rusev, set to take on Obafemi.
09:23The Bulgarian lion, Rusev, has taken offense to all the fanfare Obafemi has been getting over the past few months.
09:31Obafemi is becoming a free agent, especially a lot of Raw general manager Adam Pearce's attention.
09:37He also has a score to settle, Corey, because back at the Royal Rumble match, Obafemi, who entered number one
09:43and eliminated five people.
09:45Among those, he eliminated Rusev.
09:47And that fact has drawn the ire of Rusev tonight after an encounter last week where Oba got the better
09:53of the line of Bulgaria.
09:55But we are about to see an old school heavyweight throwdown tonight in Seattle.
10:00And I dare say this is the biggest test yet of the young career of Obafemi.
10:08No doubt about it, Rusev's a former United States champion.
10:11Rusev has been in the ring with a who's who.
10:13Some of the greatest of all time.
10:15John Cena included.
10:18Meanwhile, Obafemi made his debut three years ago.
10:21He came out of the University of Alabama as a one-time outdoor, two-time indoor SEC shot put champion.
10:28Part of the next in line program here in WWE.
10:31The first NIL athlete to actually win a title in WWE.
10:35And now goes toe-to-toe with a man who has WrestleMania experience in Rusev.
10:50Here we go!
10:51And Rusev and Obafemi delivering clothesline to one another.
10:57And this is the start of the fight that you described it, Corey.
11:00Going to be old school.
11:03Throwing haymakers.
11:04These things could get downright primal.
11:06Two huge men as Obafemi runs into a knee by Rusev.
11:10And another one.
11:12Rusev, a man that shows no fear no matter who he's in the ring against.
11:17Throwing heavy hands.
11:20Here's Rusev who gets the spine first into the buckle.
11:24And Obafemi with a running uppercut.
11:26Femi, of course, burst on the scene in the main roster back at Saturday night's main event
11:31when he had that great matchup with Cody Rhodes.
11:35Rusev runs into a boot by Femi.
11:39These two dudes just unloading heavy artillery off the opening bell.
11:44And Rusev, look at the eyes of Obafemi, Cole.
11:48That is a scary son of a gun.
11:51I was thinking of another word, but I get it.
11:54Now Rusev thrusts right to the throat.
11:57Now is Obafemi backing up a bit.
12:01Rusev driven into the step shoulder first by Femi.
12:04This is unfamiliar territory for Rusev, who is not used to being manhandled by anybody.
12:14And Femi sends Rusev back into the ring to break up the count.
12:20Oh, wow.
12:21And Rusev driving Femi now to the floor.
12:26Big heavy rights unloading again.
12:31Oh, look at the power of Femi.
12:33Uh-oh, uh-oh.
12:35And Rusev able to send Femi into the ring post.
12:38The veteran instincts of Rusev.
12:39That backfired for Oda.
12:41Look out!
12:41And now the spin kick!
12:50And Rusev quickly back into the ring.
12:55And Femi in a bit of trouble here now.
12:57That was absolutely terrifying agility for a man the size of Rusev, who continues to chop down the big redwood.
13:06And now Femi, though.
13:09Up goes Rusev.
13:11Lands on his feet.
13:13Mosca!
13:14It only staggered Femi.
13:19Oh, Femi exploded out of the corner.
13:26Oh, and tossing Rusev across the ring leg is a lightweight.
13:30A lot bigger than a shot put right there.
13:34Incredible power.
13:36Here it comes.
13:38Fall from Grace.
13:40How impressive is Oda Femi?
13:45Here is your winner, Oda Femi!
13:53A shining example of exactly why Oda Femi is the hottest free agent in the game.
14:02Weapons-grade offense from the ruler.
14:06Launching Rusev like a man a fraction of the size.
14:10And then an epic fall from Grace would seal Rusev's fate tonight.
14:19Oda Femi, the hottest free agent in a long, long time at WWE.
14:25Weaving Feud.
14:33I'm back in summer.
14:46I'm right underneath the town of love by the night of the morning.
14:58and we are indeed on the road to wrestlemania how impressive is obafemi unbelievable the

17:38C.M. Puck, the World Champion, is here live.
17:42Next.
18:12One thing we learned last week, well, I think we've known it for a long time, this man is
18:16not afraid to speak what's on his mind.
18:19Do you think?
18:25Well, unfortunately for the World Heavyweight Champion, when it comes to Roman Reigns,
18:30Punk's mouth may have written a check that, as you know what, can't cash at Wrestlemania.
18:36Well, they'll be in the main event at Wrestlemania, one of the great main events in Wrestlemania
18:42history, I do believe.
18:44Long time coming for Punk and Reigns.
18:52That must be an intelligent conversation he's having with Grogan, our cameraman there.
19:04Join himself with the members of the Super Bowl champs, Seattle Seahawks.
19:22And of course, he joined himself with a lot of random WWE fans here at ringside as well.
19:30Great crowd here tonight in Seattle.
19:33Of course, this city court hosted one of my favorite Wrestlemanias.
19:38I remember it vividly.
19:40When we're in the baseball stadium.
19:45There you go.
19:46Little A's.
19:56And again, very controversial inflammatory comments made by Punk last week toward Roman
20:03Reigns and his family.
20:04Hey, when's the last time, if ever, somebody landed a verbal jab at Roman's expense where
20:10the tribal chief couldn't even respond, he was stunned, he was gobsmacked.
20:16Yeah, just emotionally caught up in the moment as Punk mentioned his late father.
20:31You know, WWE 2K Universe is already tearing up in early access in season one of the ringside
20:36pass is officially underway with new superstars from AAA entering the fray.
20:40For the largest roster in franchise history, brand new match types in a revamped universe

20:54Pre-order WWE 2K26 today and get early access.
20:59Hey, the world champs, CM Punk's in the ring.
21:01One of the great main events in WrestleMania history coming in 40 nights.
21:04The best in the world will defend his world heavyweight championship against the
21:10OTC, the Royal Rumble winner, Roman Reigns.
21:41Wow.
21:42OK, I was a little bit wrong.
21:44I was unsure what the temperature in the room was going to be regarding me.
21:54Ah, but hell with it.
21:56Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Seattle or what?
22:09I think I know how to get you an octave higher.
22:12How about them Seahawks?
22:24Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks.
22:33Gosh, I thought some of you were going to be mad at me.
22:36There's some people that are upset about some things that I said last week.
22:40One thing in particular I heard was categorized as disrespectful.
22:50So I don't know, you seem to love me.
22:52One thing I do know is that Roman Reigns has never respected me,
22:58not once in his entire career.
23:06R.G.C.
23:09R.G.C.
23:11R.G.C.
23:22I don't know, hold your breath, you might show up.
23:24R.G.C.
23:30R.G.C.
23:46R.G.C.
23:50Roman Reigns has never respected me.
23:52But I will force him to respect the position I hold.
23:57Championships, titles in this business are made to find out who the best is.
24:04Championships and titles in sports are made to find out who the best is.
24:09And those best go on to defend their titles and they defend their championships.
24:23This title in particular was created because Roman Reigns shunned his championship responsibilities
24:30and he refused to defend his titles, but I defend mine.
24:35I defend this title because I'm proud of it.
24:38I defend this title because you deserve a fighting champion.
24:45And when I defend this title, I level it up.
24:49I level up the competition.
24:51If you stand in the ring across from CM Punk, you have to level up physically and damn sure
24:59verbally because if you don't, I will leave you dumbfounded and slack jawed like I did Roman
25:04Reigns last week, I level this place up.
25:15But unfortunately, this has been on my mind all week.
25:21Unfortunately, last week I lowered myself to Roman Reigns level.
25:36This could be interesting.
25:40Jimmy Uso made it very clear earlier tonight that he had something to say to CM Punk after
25:47the disrespect that was shown to Reigns and Uso's family.
25:51Look at the demeanor of Jimmy and Jay.
25:53They're not out here yeeting.
25:55They're not out here to have fun.
26:01Two men are so instrumental in that historic title reign of Roman Reigns.
26:09Integral part of the bloodline, now the current tag team champions.
26:37We need you to apologize right now.
26:49Apologize right now, Uso.
26:56Why is Roman still sending his cousins out here in the ring to do his heavy lifting?
27:01Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, look.
27:03He ain't sent nobody out here to do nothing.
27:06Came out here my damn self, Uso.
27:08You better apologize right now, punk.
27:23This got absolutely nothing to do with Roman Reigns but everything to do with respect.
27:32It's the exact reason why we're standing out here tonight in the middle of this ring face to face
27:37because you know what, Phil?
27:38I got a whole lot of respect for you.
27:40I really do.
27:42I really do.
27:45I got so much respect for you because of the kind of character you are, brother.
27:49You say what's on your mind.
27:51You speak from the heart.
27:52If there's an obstacle in front of you, you ain't trying to go around it, under it, over it.
27:56You run right through it and I respect that.
28:02Mainly because you call yourself the voice of the voiceless.
28:09And you know what, man?
28:11You can speak trash about Roman all you want to, but what you did last week was disrespect our late
28:16uncle who has no voice.
28:28So apologize.
28:31So apologize.
28:43You're right.
28:47Your brother's coming in a little bit hot, but you're right.
28:51Sika doesn't have a voice.
28:54And I'm not spiritual, but we're friends, and I know you are.
28:59Do you think, do you believe he can hear me right now?
29:04Can he hear us?
29:07Okay, then I hope he hears this.
29:09And I hope you're listening.
29:12Because we're friends, and your entire family and me go back a long way.
29:17A lot longer than a lot of people realize.
29:20I respect Sika.
29:22I didn't know him as well as I knew his brother, Arthur.
29:26When I lived in Philadelphia, I would drive to Allentown, Pennsylvania.
29:30And I'm not saying I worked for free, because Arthur was always generous to give me some gas money,
29:37or a hot plate of food, or a roof under my head when I needed it.
29:42I was paid in knowledge sitting under the wild Samoans learning tree.
29:48I damn near babysat Lance while the shows were going on.
29:52It was a thrill for young me to get to sit in the back of a pickup truck with the
29:58legendary Samu, Sammy,
30:01and have him drop knowledge on me.
30:06I respect everybody in your family, and everybody in your family in return
30:10has shown me nothing but respect, except that one son of a bitch.
30:20Now, if you think Sika heard that, then you believe he can see.
30:28And if you believe he can see, I know he sees exactly what I see.
30:33And that is what a lying, conniving, backstabbing, manipulative, gaslighting,
30:43egotistical, narcissistic, plastic politician his son, Roman Reigns is.
30:49Man, he still don't get it.
30:50No, no, squash that, he still don't get it.
30:54This ain't about Roman Reigns.
30:56We need you to say, I'm sorry.
31:04I'm sorry.
31:10I'm sorry.
31:11I'm sorry.
31:18Come on.
31:49I'm sorry.
31:55I'm sorry.
31:59I'm sorry Roman Reigns treated the two of you and the rest of his family in the bloodline like garbage
32:05for years and never once came out here publicly to apologize for the way he treated his family that he
32:13loves.
32:13I'm sorry that Roman Reigns disrespected one of my mentors the great American dream Dusty Rhodes the father of my
32:23friend Cody when he called him irrelevant and is somehow not on the hook for apologizing.
32:28But I am I'm sorry Usos.
32:33I'm sorry that Roman Reigns has tricked you and the rest of the Samoan family and all these people and
32:40everybody watching around the world that he gives a single damn about any of you or any of this.
32:47Because if he did if he cared about you or the people or me or this company or this business
32:56I'd be standing in the ring talking to him right now instead of his young boys.
33:08Come on man.
33:11Come on man.
33:22You are you.
33:23You are you.
33:25You have a good.
33:27You are you.
33:46It's all good.
33:47It's all good.
34:10It's all good.
34:30It's all good.
35:06It's all good.
