It’s WWE Monday Night Raw, featuring The Vision facing The Street Profits, Brie Bella & Paige against Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, and more.
The WWE Night of Champions PLE takes place this Saturday, June 27th. The WWE crew has already made part of their trip since Raw is from London, England this week, with a 2 p.m. ET start time on Netflix. SmackDown is being taped tomorrow night in London, too. That will air in the usual Friday timeslot.
This is the Raw Deal for episode #1726 of Monday Night Raw, taking place at the O2 Arena in London, England. Follow me on Twitter/X @johnreport. Let’s get to it.
They showed some superstars walking around before the show as usual. There are over 13,000 fans in attendance at this show, so it’s a big crowd.
Let’s Hear from Oba Femi and Jey Uso
Oba Femi made his entrance to a big ovation as the fans chanted “Oba” for him and they showed fans doing the Femi strut in the crowd. Oba is in the King of the Ring Finals against Jey Uso.
Femi said that the fans in London were wonderful. Femi said as much as he would love to hear the fans chant his name all night…so they kept doing “Oba” chants. Femi tried to move on, saying he’s been backed by destiny since he was born. Femi said that destiny that led him to WWE and to slay The Beast (Brock Lesnar) and it has led him this far in this tournament. Femi said this weekend at Night of Champions, destiny will take him to new heights as he becomes the King of the Ring. Femi said when he becomes king, he has to choose the champion of his choosing – does he go after the WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship? Oba paused for the interruption…and here’s Jey Uso.
Jey Uso made his entrance from the back part of the arena as the fans were Yeeting with Jey on his way to the ring. Jey was on his own without his brother Jimmy.
