Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Oba Femi Segment 

Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. Number one, let’s get this part out of the way, welcome to Monday Night Raw. Item number two, I am here tonight to hype you on a match that needs no hype. This Sunday, the biggest rematch, not just in WWE history, but in all of professional wrestling. Ladies and gentlemen, when I have a microphone in my hands, please shut the hell up. The biggest match in WWE indeed, and all of professional wrestling history. This Sunday, Clash In Italy, when Oba Femi steps into the ring to be conquered by “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar: I didn’t quite get the chance to congratulate you last week on your big victory over me at WrestleMania. Congratulations, Oba, well done. But that victory is gonna cost you more than you could ever imagined. Now, I’ve had my share of ass whippings over the years, but none quite like that. It was humbling. You beat my ass at WrestleMania so bad, I said, that’s it, I’m done. But that doesn’t sit very well with me, Oba. It’s not going to end that way, Oba Femi. Brock Lesnar can take an ass whipping, but can you? You’re gonna get your ass kicked by a humbled, retired beast. Brock Lesnar will conquer Oba Femi. I am gonna rule over Oba Femi.

Paul Heyman: The good news is that everyone watching will have the chance, this Sunday, to see history played out in real-time, in front of your very eyes. The bad news for everyone that worships, Oba Femi, is that Oba Femi has awaken “The Beast”. Oba Femi has awakened “The Beast”. Oba Femi has awakened “The Beast” Brock Lesnar, which means one thing.

Oba Femi: You say that I’ve awoken The Beast. Now, what do you think he has awoken in me? What do you think that four F5’s has awoken in Oba Femi? Don’t worry, Paul, it’s fine, I’m not going to hurt you. Matter of fact, I need you, I need you to be alive and well, to tell the tale of Brock Lesnar. And while you tell that story, you’re gonna fast forward to the end, my favorite part, where I retire Brock Lesnar for the second time. And I know you, Paul, you’re gonna say, it’s just business, it’s not personal. I don’t know about you, Paul, but four F5’s seem very personal to me. So, while you tell that story, this is the final chapter.

Oba Femi signs the contract for Clash In Italy.

Oba Femi: Deliver me this message to Brock. Tell him that, last time, I was fighting to beat him. This time, I’m fighting to kill him.

Roman didn’t know that Jacob knew about Tribal Combat, and he understood his obligation to accept as The Tribal Chief, he can’t ever back down. In this contract, there has to be consequences.

LA Knight & Jimmy Uso Segment 

LA Knight: Let me talk to you. My god, it’s been a minute since I felt this, it’s been a minute since I stood in this ring in front of all of y’all. It’s been since WrestleMania, actually, I’ll tell you what, before I get to that, I just want to wish everyone out there a Happy Memorial Day, especially every single one of our service members, I want to say thank you for your service. And right here in the USA, standing in this ring, LA Knight, I told y’all, since WrestleMania, I put The Vision in my rearview mirror, and who’s standing beside me, but Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. But lately since WrestleMania, I’ve noticed they’ve been doing things a little bit different, and it’s got me thinking. Because next week, right here on Raw, the King and Queen Of The Ring Tournament begins, and I’m throwing my name in the hat. And what that means, is I got a shot, I have a shot of wearing that crown, The King Of The Ring. And when I get that, that means I go on, I have the shot, and I’m aiming for that World Heavyweight Title, I’m aiming for Roman Reigns. So, where does that put Jimmy and Jey Uso? Because I look at Roman Reigns, the most corrupt champion I’ve ever seen, all he’s doing is trying to stir up The Bloodline Old, trying to get some things running just a little bit different than the Jimmy and Jey Uso that I knew.

Jimmy Uso: Nah, I think you need to hear this from me. I have a lot of respect for you man, alright? It was me that fought side by side with you at WrestleMania, me.

LA Knight: Yes, you did, you did fight side by side with me. You fought side by side with me against The Vision, why, because the way they did things. And now I’m watching you, you’re fighting side by side with Roman Reigns, and it ain’t the same. We’re talking 3 on 1, it’s a little bit different, it just rubs me the wrong way. I have been a victim of every kind of group, you were, too.

Jimmy Uso: I get it, I get it. Listen, I get it, I understand why you’re all up in your feelings about The Bloodline, man. Hell, if I’m honest, that whole locker room got issues with The Bloodline, because those last couple of years got ugly as hell for everybody. We did what we had to do, uce, but it’s not like that no more. Hey, check it, if you want go for King Of The Ring, man, cool, go do you. Hey, if I’m honest, if you win King Of The Ring, man, you get a shot at The OTC, a fair shot, you hear me?

LA Knight: Fair? Fair? I heard you say fair, I heard you say honest, but right now I gotta ask, are you being honest with me or more over, are you being honest with yourself? What I mean by that, you come out here, 2 on 1, you’re about to attack Jacob last week, and all that stuff. And I think to myself, okay, look, you, you were the one who comes out here, and what, Jey has a chair in his hand, you come out here, you’re doing that whole thing. You’re telling me that it’s gonna be fair, you’re telling me it’s gonna be honest. As far as I could tell, you’re coming out here as a messenger, you’re coming out here, basically, not even as the second fiddle for Roman Reigns, but the third fiddle, and the last thing I want to see you do is become Roman Reigns errand boy, again. I’m saying this with all due respect, but you need to take a lesson from the past, take it as a warning.

Jimmy Uso: This is a warning shot, right now, right now. I’ve had enough of all this talk about what me and my brother out here doing wrong. You’re lucky The YEET Man ain’t here tonight, otherwise we wouldn’t be talking.

LA Knight: I’m lucky? Hey, you’re proving my point right now, man. You’re telling me, if Jey Uso was right here right now, you two are gonna put the beat down on me? 2 on 1, and guess what, Roman Reigns will probably run out here, too. 3 on 1, just the same way you did it to Jacob Fatu.

Jimmy Uso: Jacob got nothing to do with you, bruh, zero. That’s family business. If I were you, man, I would tread really lightly, because if you keep on disrespecting The OTC, our family will become your business.

LA Knight: Jim, you’re the one that I like, I think you kind of like me, I don’t think you want it to go there, even Jey I’m okay with. Roman is the one I didn’t like then, I don’t like now. He’s the same guy who just can’t keep seem to get the job done on his own. He needed a Heyman, he needed you, he needed Jey, why, because he can’t get the job done on his own. So, what I’m telling you, I don’t want it to go there, but if the family business has to become my business, I’ll make sure that go out of business. And take that message to your boy, Roman Reigns, and make sure you spell my name right with everybody saying, LA Knight. YEAH!

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Becky Lynch. Cathy mentions that Sol Ruca is out tonight dealing with multiple injuries she suffered at Saturday Night’s Main Event. While Becky was initially irate when the rematch was announced for Clash In Italy, perhaps feels like she has the upper hand going into that title defense? Becky says that some people get punched in the face, and then they become the face of the entire industry. And then other people get punched in the face, and it’s a wakeup call that they’re in over their head. Sol Ruca walked into the ring with the greatest female wrestler of all-time, and it’s not just her saying it, other people are saying it, everybody is saying it, Sports Illustrated says it, The Bleacher Report says it. Sol realized that she was totally outmatched. Some people may be impressed by Sol’s tricks and flips, but she hasn’t got a single clean victory since she’s come up to Raw, and her time is running out. Sol’s name is written in sand, but the tide is coming in. Becky’s name is etched in stone, it will be around forever, much like she’ll be the Women’s Intercontinental Champion forever. Becky hopes that Sol can come around to Clash In Italy, because The Man is coming around. And there’s a difference between striving for greatness and standing across from it.

Roman Reigns: We signed the contract, he made a blood oath, he can’t touch me until Italy. Leave us, now.

Adam Pearce: You heard the man, boys, let’s go. Have it your way, uce.

Roman Reigns: Columbus, Ohio. Acknowledge Me! See how simple that was, that’s all you had to do. All you had to do was acknowledge me. I beat you at Backlash, you signed the contract, it could’ve been simple. All you had to do was acknowledge and then we could’ve moved on to the next mission.

Jacob Fatu: Acknowledge you, like everybody in here? Hell nah. See, I’m not like everybody else. But let’s keep it 100, Roman, you are the reason why our family in The Bloodline is living the life that we have, you are the reason why our family is on top of the mountain. Hell, brother, you elevated us, you done took the whole family to the promise land, but then you could only take us so far, you could only take us so far, Roman. It’s time for a change, it’s time for another direction, hell, it’s time for another destination. So, when you’re over here talking about acknowledging you, having honor, respect, living the code of The Bloodline, let me ask you something, Roman. At Backlash, did you live by the code of The Bloodline or did you bend the rules, just so you can beat me? Oh no, I get it, you did what you had to do by any means necessary. But at Tribal Combat, everything and anything goes, Roman. So, just like at Backlash, at Clash In Italy, oh, I’m about to dog walk your bitch ass. And when I get done taking over this, everybody is gonna have consequences.

Roman Reigns: Consequences? You want to talk about consequences, let’s talk about then. See, I’m a man of my word. Jacob, if you beat me, then you become The Head Of The Table, you become the shot caller, you lead and I follow. But if you can’t dog walk me, then it looks like I’m gonna be walking you like a dog. I’m gonna domesticate you. If you can’t beat me, you will serve me, and you will learn from me, and in time, Jacob, you will love your Tribal Chief.

Jacob Fatu: Okay, yeah. Well, it looks like a win for me, it looks a win for me then, Roman. So, if you do dog walk my ass, hey, it looks I still got a job here, ain’t nothing gonna change. But not if, with me, but when I dog walk your ass, everybody and especially you will learn how to acknowledge me. YADADAMEAN!

Roman and Jacob shake hands and do The Tribal Blood Oath as the show goes off the air.
