After a botch-filled Clash in Italy the WWE shifts to Raw back at the Inalpi Arena in Turi, Italy.
Let’s see if the WWE can get back on track after a show with more mistakes than my Grade 11 math quiz for Mr. Chung at Downsview Secondary School.
Raw 6/1/26 Results
A looong recap of Clash in Italy intercut with reactions from live streamers, the same live streamers WWE is targeting for what they say are copyright offences.
Seems as though the WWE wants to have it both ways.
Maybe the streamers should target WWE for using their copyrighted footage if they didn’t get permission beforehand. They didn’t even identify the streamers either. Not cool, WWE.
The Usos and Roman Reigns arrive. Roman’s music plays as he heads to the ring immediately. The crowd sings along with Roman’s instrumental music. Take that, North America!
OTC! OTC! OTC!
A smug Roman takes in the accolades closing his eyes and smiling to himself.
Roman! Roman Reigns! Roman! Roman Reigns!
We are thirteen minutes into the show before Roman demands Italy acknowledge him.
“There is no day like Acknowledgement Day!” says Roman.
The Usos point out that it is Jacob’s first day on the job and he is already late.
TASI
LUA
TOLU
FATU!
One, two, three, Fatu!
The crowd sings the “Ole” soccer song with Fatu’s name instead of the usual chant.
Fatu stands in front of Roman, He doesn’t look happy.
“Let’s not drag this thing out. You know what time it is,” says Reigns.
The Usos accuse Fatu of moving “too slow as it is”.
Fatu gets in their faces.
“Jacob! I am over here!” shouts Roman.
Jacob says he knew the consequences of accepting the match last night. It is nothing new to him. He has been taking losses his entire life. Last night, he lost in front of the whole world and his children but they saw him keep his word too.
“Last night, I lost to my Tribal Chief but I didn’t lose to your punk ass, Jey!” says Fatu.
“I acknowledge you!” says Fatu getting down on one knee.
OTC! OTC! OTC!
Roman helps him to his feet.
“You don’t understand this right now but I love you, Jacob!” says Roman.
The Usos put the entire locker room on notice. They raise their hand, fingers but the music is late to play. The crowd almost has to sing them off.
WWE announces that immediately after Raw, they will replay the Mask-Versus-Mask match from AAA over the weekend, in its entirety.
Seth Rollins is in the arena wearing sunglasses. Paul Heyman, Austin Theory and Bron Breakker are in tow. The new Women’s Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca walks into the area as well.
A historic look at King and Queen of the Ring. The finals will be held in Saudi Arabia. The winners will each get a shot at a World Championship at SummerSlam.
Oba Femi vs. Penta vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Carmelo Hayes – Fatal Four-Way, King of the Ring Tournament Match
Tala Tonga comes down to the ring with Solo Sikoa and he can because this is a No DQ match. You would then expect people to bring “plunder” into the match wouldn’t you? That would make sense, right?
Last to be introduced is:
Oba! Oba! Oba!
Femi left arm is bandaged up based on his match with Lesnar last night. Everyone attacks Femi but he shrugs them all off.
Too much action to describe it all.
Femi blocks the Samoan Spike sending Solo out of the ring with a single punch.
Femi and Tala have a staredown at ringside but Femi heads back into the ring. Femi chokeslams both Penta and Hayes at the same time. He returns back outside to confront Tala again.

Winner: Oba Femi
Femi grabs the microphone.
“Brock Lesnar asked me what does Oba Femi after taking seven F-5s and taking an ass whooping? I am standing and winning. I took your best shot! I will be the King of The Ring! You coward Brock Lesnar! Remember, it is one to one! I will meet you down the line,” warns Femi.
Sol Ruca in colorful attire heads to the ring.
Cathy Kelley introduces Sol Ruca, the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion. Her crappy music plays. Ruca thanks the fans for believing in her. Ruca praises Lynch but she proved her wrong…and everyone is saying that, not just her. Ruca promises to be a fighting champion.
Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee versus Ethan Page and Rusev
Rusev’s strength helps his team take over not allowing Lee to reach Rey. Page slams Lee back-first on the apron. They keep Lee away from Mysterio and continue to bring the pain. A frustrated Mysterio storms into the ring while Rusev laughs and the official puts Rey out. Page puts Lee into a leg lock not allowing him to tag out as Rusev slaps Rey. As the official reprimands Rey, the heel double team Lee.
Dragon super kicks Rusev in the face and finally, finally makes the tag. Mysterio goes crazy on Page and Rusev with diving attacks, knocking Rusev off the apron at one point. Rusev pulls Mysterio down from outside the ring so he cannot do his 619 to a vulnerable Page. Page shoves Rey into Lee and they collide hard.
Rey wins the match for his team with a 619 and a Drop of the Dime.
Winners: Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee
Backstage, Adam Pearce and Penta meet. Pearce promises to book Rey versus Penta soon for the Intercontinental Championship. LA Knight drops by. Knight is pissed off that Pearce seems to be showing preferential treatment to Reigns, even hanging out in his locker room last week.
Knight kids that Pearce must be feeling “Ucey” and might need a Bloodline t-shirt for his wardrobe.
“It looks to me like the only person you want to be the World Champion is Roman Reigns. It isn’t Fatu and it sure isn’t me,” says LA.
Pearce calls Fatu a liability and he is only trying to keep a family in line. Knight raises Pearce’s finger to the sky for him. Knight says Pearce makes him sick.
Bron Breakker is working out backstage.
Even though they just announced that they would show the match after the show, we see what transpires after the mask-versus-mask bout…and they grey out Gable talking because he had blood on his face.
Come on. When is WWE going to stop censoring that kind of stuff? It is unnecessary and regressive at this point. Then again, American broadcast networks still bleep the word “s–t” while so many other countries don’t in 2026…so there is that.
Iyo Sky versus Roxanne Perez versus Giulia versus Lash Legend – Fatal Four-Way, Queen of the Ring Tournament Match
The crowd knows that Giulia is part Japanese and part Italian so they cheer her on. As she walks to the ring she shows off the Italian flag on her ring attire. Her hair is also back to normal like she had it in Stardom minus those awful braids.

Otis asks Dupri if she is okay. She brushes him off. Otis and Tozawa want to know why she is hanging out with Austin Theory lately?
“He is bad news,” says Otis.
Dupi asks them to trust her and walks away.
Seth Rollins is getting ready for his main event match in the back.
El Grande Americano comes out with his buddies. They are speaking Spanish and I am Canadian so I have no idea what they are saying. We learned French in school not Spanish. Americano said he was fighting for himself, his people and his country…which is Germany?
We see a mini film about Danhausen cursing basketball teams.
Cathy Kelly interviews both Bayley and Lyra who are both in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Bayley says they want to win tag gold first. Bayley praises Lyra for her record at the tournament.

Morgan: “Roxy, I know you are upset but you are still family and that is what matters.”
“Well, I could have used family. What is your plan?” asks Perez.
Morgan replies that the J-Day TAKES opportunities and her and Dom will TAKE these two tournaments to become the King and Queens of the Ring. Perez, Raquel and JD shake their heads and make sour faces. Raquel reminds them she is in the tournament too.
“What matters is one of us is bringing it back to the clubhouse because we run Monday Night Raw,” says Morgan.
