WWE Raw is live this afternoon from “The City of Love.”
WWE’s ongoing 2026 European Summer Tour continues this week, and with it comes another special daytime episode of WWE Raw, with the weekly red brand program airing live at 2/1c on Netflix from Accor Arena in Paris, France.
Oba Femi Kicks Things Off
‘WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.’ kicks things off as always. We then see highlights of recent action before settling inside Accor Arena in Paris, France, where the familiar sounds of Oba Femi’s theme hits the house speakers. “The Ruler” struts to the ring to a deafening roar from the Paris fans to start the show.
Femi gets in the ring and thanks the crowd for the response he’s getting and wants to get down to business. Femi says he and Paul Heyman don’t get along but they both believe in spoilers and he has a spoiler for us tonight. Femi says he will run through every single man in the King of the Ring Tournament.
He says he will be The Ruler and will destroy whoever he needs to. He says this isn’t a prediction, it’s a spoiler. Femi says the ruler needs a crown and 2026 is the year Femi will be collecting trophies and the one trophy he wants to collect is the head of Brock Lesnar.
Femi says Lesnar hit him from behind and cheated and calls Lesnar a bitch. Femi says he will settle the score with Lesnar when he sees him next. Dominik Mysterio interrupts Femi. Mysterio says Femi doesn’t rule anything or anybody. Mysterio says Femi should be worried about him and not Lesnar and calls Femi a rookie.
Mysterio says he’s a 20yr veteran of the ring and is the King of the Luchadores and when he becomes the King of the Ring he will rule over Femi. Mysterio tells Femi to bend the knee and respect the stache. JD McDonagh sneaks up behind Femi and smacks Femi with a chair and Femi barely moves.
Femi attacks McDonagh and McDonagh rolls to the apron. Femi goes after him and Mysterio hits a 6-1-9 on Femi and goes for a Frog Splash. Femi catches Mysterio and tosses him across the ring. McDonagh pulls Mysterio out of the ring.
From there, we see Femi get back on the microphone and tell Mysterio that although Rey Mysterio is his father, next week Femi will show Mysterio why he’s Mysterio’s Daddy. Femi vs. Dom-Dom will take place on the June 15 episode of Raw in the ongoing King of the Ring tourney.
