Live! from the O2 in London, England, it’s Monday Afternoon Night Raw.
Michael Cole & Corey Graves were on commentary.
Oba Femi and Jey Uso Opened the Show
Oba Femi came out to address the live crowd ahead of his King of the Ring final match against Jey Uso. The split-screen showing Femi doing his march while the crowd chants feels unnecessary. The chants continued for far longer than necessary. When the crowd finally settled down long enough for Femi to talk, he said that it was his destiny for him to become the new King of the Ring! But then, whose championship will he go after? Does he go after the WWE Championship, or the World Heavyweight Championship? Before he can answer, it’s Day One, Eh?
Jey Uso’s music played, and he entered through the crowd, mocking Femi’s march a little bit of the way down the ring. Michael Cole used one of his favorite overused terms, “instant classic,” to describe Uso’s match against Je’Von Evans on Smackdown last Friday. Uso’s entrance ate up another few minutes of the show. And of course, the crowd wanted him to run it back. Femi objected, but Uso ran it back anyway.
Uso recounted all the times that he’s been counted out — when he won the Royal Rumble, when he won the world title, when he shook arenas, and they’re counting him out in the King of the Ring Finals. But, Uso is going to win anyway, and he’s going to take it to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. That was Jey’s warning shot!
Femi, “I assume you’re shooting for real.” Femi advised him that when he’s shooting, he better not miss, or he will destroy him. But also, if Uso hits, Femi will destroy him anyway. So Uso should save his bullets and let his cousin (Roman) know he’s coming for him.
— Adam Pearce started arguing with LA Knight in the back. Jimmy Uso showed up to argue with Knight. Then Pearce got in Knight’s face and made Jimmy Uso versus LA Knight for tonight. Knight thought that was stupid idea, and instead made Jimmy Uso versus LA Knight for tonight.
