WWE Monday Night Ray 6/1/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/wwe-monday-night-raw-5252026.html

We are in Turin, Italy. Michael Cole and Corey Graves are on commentary.

We see The Uso's and Roman Reigns arrive in a car. They go to the ring to talk. Roman says there's no day like Acknowledgement Day. Jey asks where Fatu is and says Fatu is already late. 

Jacob Fatu comes out. Jey tells Fatu he's moving too slow and Fatu takes the mic from him. Fatu says he knew what he was getting into with Tribal Combat and knew the repercussions. He says he knew what would happen if he lost. Fatu says his kids saw him be a man, take a loss and keep his word. Fatu says he lost to his tribal chief last night but he didn't lose to Jey's punk @ss. He says he acknowledges Roman then gets on a knee. 

Roamn says Fatu doesn't understand but he loves him. Jimmy says it's on now and this is a warning shot to everyone in the locker room. Jimmy says says they are the one's and does the hand sign. Fatu then does it.

Thoughts: It was a further burial of Fatu. Jey was buried a long time ago. We just have to put Roman over and make his opponents look bad or else...someone else might come along and be more entertaining. This whole thing is so out of character for Fatu.

We see some wrestlers arrive and hang out. They then talk about King and Queen of the Ring.

Thoughts: Oba ran over everyone here. I can't say it did those guys many favors but it made Oba look good. Penta and Melo didn't get entrances here. It was entertaining and full of action.

Oba gets on the mic and says Brock asked him if he could take an @ss whooping and what he would do after it. Oba says he's standing, winning and still here after taking Brock's best shot. He says he will be king of the ring and says it's 1-1 with Brock and he will see him down the line.

We see Maxxine Duprii and Austin Theory are seen talking as Solo Ruca heads to the ring.

Bron goes for a spear inside but Seth grabs the belt and Bron ends up spearing that. Seth curbstomps Bron and pins him.

Thoughts: The PLE could have used this one. It was a good match and a PPV/PLE worthy bout. They had some creative spots, we had some run in's and Paul Heyman even got speared outside. Both guys were in it and they had Bron lose without it being totally clean. This also pushed the Seth/Ford story some. I liked this. 

The announcers then hype up the replay of Noche de los Grandes and cut to it to end the show.

Overall thoughts: I hated the Fatu segment but the wrestling was fine here. And this show was based around in-ring wrestling. The matches were all decent and the main was PLE level match that Clash in Italy really could have used. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall as the other segments bailed out the bad stuff with Fatu. It was an okay show overall.
