WWE Monday Night Raw 6/8/2026
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/wwe-monday-night-ray-612026.html
We are in Paris, France. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.
We see various wrestlers arrive.
Oba Femi comes out to talk. He says Paul Heyman doesn't agree with predictions but spoilers and he agrees with him. He says his spoiler is that he will run through everyone in KOTR and will win. He says that's not a prediction but a spoiler. He says he will take the crown as a ruler needs a crown to be the ruler.
He says one trophy he wants is the skull of Brock Lesnar. He says Brock attacked him from behind and cheated. He says all he sees in him is a "big bad b!tch". He says he will settle the score with Brock when he sees him.
Dominik Mysterio comes out. Dom says Oba doesn't rule anybody. He says Oba should be worried about him instead of Dom. Dom says he will rule over him when he is KOTR. He tells him to bend the knee. JD McDonaugh hits Oba with a chair from behind and Oba no sells it. Oba punches the chair into JD's face. Dom comes off the top, Oba catches him and throws him with a backdrop. Oba says Dom messed up tonight. He says Rey is father but he will be his dadd next week.
Seth is interviewed. He says he was champ in Paris last time and was with The Vision. He says he will win KOTR and the future is him taking back the title he didn't lose. He says he has a date with Roman Reigns somewhere down the line. He says Roman has a title that belongs to him (Seth).

Thoughts: They kept it moving. Bliss landed really hard on Liv on the twisted bliss. They kept throwing each other out there which got a little annoying at times. It wasn't bad.
We get a video on Penta vs Rey tonight.
Penta and Chad Gable talk in the back. Chad says he did a lot he's ashamed of and it started because he lost to him in his debut. He says he didn't take the loss like a man and he's sorry. Penta says if he wants to do right by lucha libre, he knows who he has to talk to.

He says he's not talking about the family but he's disappointed in them. He says he thought Jimmy was better than this. Seth says them being bag boys for Roman may be the best they can do. Jey tells Fatu to get Seth and Fatu walks away.
We get a video on Sol vs Lyra tonight.

Thoughts: It wasn't good at all. You could them working together multiple times and talking. Sol just was totally struggling here for unknown reasons.
The Uso's complain to Fatu in the back and ask what that was about. They said they called the play and Fatu is supposed to run it. Fatu says he didn't acknowledge them but Roman. He says they need to worry about LA Knight. He says LA is probably talking about the family right now why they do nothing. Jey and Fatu then walk off and leave Jimmy.
LA Knight comes out. He talks about the KOTR 4-way he's in on SD this week with Keys, Finn and Jey. LA says Roman has gotten to the fans and pulled the wool over their eyes.

He says The Uso's told him not to talk about the family but he says he's the chief in this neighborhood and doesn't care. He says the whole family may get involved in his match with Roman says Adam Pearce will allow it. He says he won't say Adam is in Bloodline's pocket but there is a difference between how Adam talks to him and Roman. He says Adam has his favorites and he's not it. He says he's unchosen but the fans chose him and he chose himself. He promises he can't stop or quit and can't stop being LA Knight. He says he hopes Jey can do it on his own on Friday without bringing his family out.
Jey Uso comes out and talks to LA in the ring. Jey tries to re-run his entrance and LA cuts it off. Jey says when his family calls, he will answer it. He tells LA to stay in his lane. He says he doesn't need luck in KOR as he's still "Main Event" Jey Uso. He says he will show him who he is Friday and says it's his warning shot.
They tease ending the segment but LA talks more. LA says it's good he cares about his family. He wishes him good luck on Friday and says "screw your family". Jey then heads to the ring and Jimmy Uso stops him.
Chad Gable talks to Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio in the back. Lee says he knows Chad now knows what the mask means. Rey says he knows Chad was trying to make fun of lucha but he says the mask match was true lucha. He accepts his apology. Rey says Chad said and did things he might regret way before he put the mask on.
Thoughts: They are going too far with this Gable stuff in general (not necessarily in this segment). He apologized and stuff, now it's time to move on and go do whatever.

Thoughts: They did what they could with it. It was all action and them doing spots. They didn't overdo it at least. It was an okay enough main. Seth got screwed and that'll continue his things with The Vision. Evans won here, but I don't expect him to win the tournament.
Evans celebrates in the crowd after.
Overall thoughts: We had a lot of in-ring action here and most of the matches were decent, minus Sol/Lyra. We had limited stories outside of Gable and LA Knight vs The Uso's though. The show was okay overall, but nothing must see. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 and I'd say the main was the best match of the night.
