WWE Monday Night RAW September 28, 2026 Results & Recap: Jaida Parker Joins 946, Lola Vice Beats Roxanne Perez

WWE Monday Night RAW delivered one of those shows tonight that looked relatively light on paper but became considerably more interesting as it went along. The September 28 episode from Milwaukee was built around the road to Money in the Bank, but the biggest development had nothing to do with a ladder match. Jaida Parker seemingly arrived on RAW to speak with General Manager Adam Pearce, only to close the night by “accidentally” hitting Jacob Fatu with a car before revealing her true colors and aligning with 946 alongside her former OTM running mates Bronco Nima and Lucien Price.

That was a fantastic piece of continuity for longtime NXT fans and immediately made The Bloodline vs. 946 considerably deeper.

RAW also opened on a somber note with WWE honoring Benjamin Satterley, known to WWE fans as Neville and throughout the wrestling world as PAC, with a memorial graphic.

From there, WWE thankfully wasted little time. The Bloodline established exactly why Solo Sikoa’s abduction had taken this rivalry somewhere more personal, Jaida Parker was introduced into the story almost immediately, and Lola Vice made her entrance for the opening match before the first commercial break.

RAW didn’t need a 20-minute opening promo to establish what mattered.

Once the wrestling started, the show progressively got better. Lola Vice defeated Roxanne Perez in Vice’s first main-roster singles match, Dragon Lee continued his recent rise by surviving Big Cass, IYO SKY and Lyra Valkyria delivered an excellent match despite questionable stakes, and Penta and Je’Von Evans tore the house down against Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh.

The final three matches were especially good, and Milwaukee became noticeably hotter as RAW progressed.

Then Jaida Parker changed everything.

Here are the full results

• Lola Vice defeated Roxanne Perez
• Dragon Lee defeated Big Cass
• IYO SKY defeated Lyra Valkyria with Over the Moonsault after Bayley’s distraction.
• Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh

Breakdowns & Reactions

WWE Honors PAC/Neville

RAW opened with a memorial graphic honoring Benjamin Satterley, better known as PAC and formerly Neville in WWE.

There was no reason to overproduce this.

PAC was an important part of NXT’s growth, became NXT Champion and NXT Tag Team Champion and later became a two-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion before completely reinventing himself outside the company.

The Bloodline Opens RAW — And Jaida Parker Arrives

Grade: A-

This was how an opening segment should work.

Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Jacob Fatu addressed 946 after Solo Sikoa’s abduction last week. Whatever problems The Bloodline has had internally, Solo remains family, and 946 crossed an entirely different line by kidnapping him.

Then WWE moved.

An SUV arrived backstage. The Bloodline immediately assumed 946 had arrived and rushed from the ring.

Instead, Jaida Parker stepped out.

Parker said she was there to speak with Adam Pearce and walked away.

That’s all WWE needed.

No endless explanation. No 20-minute opening promo. No dragging something out that could be established in minutes.

Lola Vice was making her entrance for the first match before RAW went to its first commercial break.

That’s something WWE should do more often.

An opening segment doesn’t need to consume the opening quarter of a wrestling show simply because it’s the opening segment. The Bloodline established its motivation, Jaida created the mystery and RAW moved directly toward wrestling.

More importantly, Parker’s appearance planted something WWE wouldn’t pay off until the final minutes of the show.

What worked

• Excellent pacing.
• The Bloodline had an understandable reason to want 946.
• Parker’s arrival immediately created intrigue.
• Vice was ready for action before the first commercial.
• The opening eventually connected directly to the ending.

What didn’t work

• The Bloodline falling for the SUV misdirection made them look slightly too jumpy.
• WWE eventually needs to address the consequences of 946 literally abducting Solo Sikoa.

Lola Vice vs. Roxanne Perez

Grade: B+

This was exactly where Lola Vice needed to be tonight.

Vice and Perez are already qualified for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and their issue stems from last week when Perez interrupted Vice’s official RAW contract signing.

Instead of stretching that confrontation out for weeks, WWE put them in the ring.

Vice looked comfortable.

This wasn’t her overall main-roster debut. Vice made her RAW in-ring debut on September 14 when she defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.

Tonight was her first main-roster singles match.

And she looked like she belonged.

One of my favorite moments was Vice smoothly countering Perez into an armbar. Those kinds of transitions are exactly where Vice’s MMA background gives her something different from almost everybody else in WWE’s women’s division.

The crowd being behind Lola was another encouraging sign. She didn’t feel like somebody WWE needed to convince the audience to care about.

Roxanne Perez is a different conversation.

Perez is obviously extremely talented, but to me, her main-roster work hasn’t consistently looked as clean as the version we watched develop into one of NXT’s best in-ring wrestlers.

Some transitions have felt more rushed. Certain sequences haven’t looked quite as effortless.

That’s subjective, and it doesn’t suddenly make Perez a bad wrestler.

The standard is simply higher because we’ve already seen how good she can be.

I want that NXT Roxanne Perez on RAW—the wrestler whose timing, pacing and confidence made everything look effortless.

Money in the Bank would be the perfect stage for that version of Perez to show up.

Vice eventually put Perez away with her spinning backfist.

Joe Tessitore appeared to refer to the strike as “MIA” on commentary. Until WWE consistently establishes that as the official name, though, calling it Vice’s spinning backfist is the clearest description.

Raquel Rodriguez attacked Vice afterward before Sol Ruca attempted the save. Perez and Rodriguez ultimately left both MITB competitors down, setting up next week’s tag team match.

What worked

• Vice looked completely comfortable.
• Her submission counters stood out.
• The crowd responded positively to Vice.
• WWE protected her spinning backfist as a legitimate finisher.
• Giving Vice the victory strengthened her main-roster credibility.
• The post-match attack advanced both next week’s match and Money in the Bank.

What didn’t work

• Perez’s main-roster performances haven’t consistently looked as polished to me as her best NXT work.
• WWE needs to make sure Vice’s momentum continues beyond the initial call-up period.

Money in the Bank Is Becoming WWE’s Next-Generation Showcase

One of the most interesting things about this year’s Money in the Bank matches is how much of WWE’s future is represented.

The men’s field currently includes Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Penta and CM Punk, with one final qualifier remaining.

The women’s field currently features Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez and Lash Legend, also with one position remaining.

Look at those names.

Breakker. Evans. Trick. Sol. Lola. Jacy. Roxanne. Lash.

WWE isn’t merely talking about building its next generation anymore.

A significant portion of that generation is being positioned in one of WWE’s most important annual matches.

CM Punk gives the men’s match an established main-event anchor. Penta adds another experienced veteran. Around them are performers WWE could realistically build around for years.

That’s exactly what Money in the Bank should be.

Oba Femi and Bronson Reed Make It Official

Grade: B+

Oba Femi called out Bronson Reed and made it clear he wanted him one-on-one at Money in the Bank.

Reed came out alone.

He reminded Oba that their recent encounters had ended with Reed putting him down.

Reed also acknowledged that Oba has beaten Brock Lesnar.

His response?

He’s not Brock Lesnar.

The match was made official.

Oba Femi vs. Bronson Reed is happening at Money in the Bank.

The confrontation worked because neither man needed to scream.

They treated each other like dangerous men who understand exactly what the other is capable of doing.

But WWE has a bigger Oba Femi question that becomes more noticeable every week:

How much longer can WWE keep reminding us that he’s the 2026 King of the Ring without moving him back toward the World Championship?

Oba won King of the Ring and originally earned a World Championship Match at SummerSlam.

Then Brock Lesnar changed everything.

WWE’s storytelling around exactly what happened to that championship opportunity became unnecessarily muddy once Oba chose to deal with Lesnar instead.

But the larger point doesn’t require any ambiguity.

Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam.

Brock embraced him afterward and called him the future of WWE.

That’s about as significant an endorsement as WWE can give somebody.

Yet we’re approaching October and Oba still feels adjacent to the World Championship picture instead of being part of it.

The “Oba” chants are still there.

Tonight’s crowd gave him a good reception.

He’s still over.

But to my ears, his entrance reactions don’t consistently feel as overwhelming as they once did.

That’s not the same thing as saying Oba Femi is cold.

He’s nowhere close.

The concern is what happens if WWE keeps him circling underneath the World Championship picture for too long.

Nobody stays white hot indefinitely.

That’s why Oba Femi vs. Bronson Reed at Money in the Bank is more important than another monster-versus-monster attraction.

Reed is one of the few wrestlers on RAW who can stand across from Oba and immediately look like a believable physical threat.

WWE doesn’t need to manufacture that visual.

Put them together and you understand the match.

It should be violent.

It should be physical.

It should feel completely different from everything else on the Money in the Bank card.

But it also needs to lead somewhere.

Regardless of how WWE ultimately defines the status of the championship opportunity originally attached to Oba’s King of the Ring victory, somebody who won King of the Ring and then defeated Brock Lesnar shouldn’t spend months stuck in neutral.

At some point, WWE needs to stop merely telling us Oba Femi is the future and start moving him toward it.

What worked

• Reed and Femi carried themselves like legitimate threats.
• Reed is physically credible enough to stand opposite Oba.
• Their recent history gives the match a reason to exist.
• Reed directly acknowledged Oba’s victories over Brock Lesnar.
• Money in the Bank gains a completely different style of singles match.

What didn’t work

• WWE’s presentation created unnecessary ambiguity around the championship opportunity originally attached to Oba’s King of the Ring victory.
• Constantly emphasizing King of the Ring keeps reminding viewers that winning it was supposed to propel Oba toward a World Championship.
• His reactions don’t feel quite as explosive to me as they once did.
• WWE risks cooling somebody who should be moving closer to the top after defeating Brock Lesnar.

Dragon Lee vs. Big Cass

Grade: B+

Dragon Lee’s recent opportunities are starting to add up.

Before the match, Rey Mysterio praised Lee’s recent performances and talked about his potential.

That’s worth paying attention to.

WWE has quietly been giving Dragon Lee increasingly important opportunities, and tonight presented a completely different challenge in Big Cass.

Lee couldn’t overpower him.

He had to survive him.

Cass repeatedly used his size to overwhelm Lee. Lee answered with speed, kicks, dives and counters, forcing the larger man to continually readjust.

That’s where the finish worked.

Cass went for the chokeslam, but Lee countered into a jackknife pin and caught him for the three-count.

Dragon Lee didn’t suddenly overpower somebody significantly larger than him.

He solved the problem.

That’s what Lee needs right now: victories that teach the audience he can beat different types of opponents in different ways.

His ceiling remains extremely high.

He has the athleticism, explosiveness and presentation to become much more than somebody WWE plugs into good television matches.

The next step is giving him a sustained storyline where viewers have a reason to emotionally invest in Dragon Lee rather than simply appreciate how good Dragon Lee is.

What worked

• Lee had to overcome a believable size disadvantage.
• Cass dominated enough of the match to remain dangerous.
• The finish fit the story.
• Rey Mysterio openly endorsing Lee’s potential added something.
• The victory continued Lee’s recent upward trajectory.

What didn’t work

• Lee still needs a defining character-driven storyline.
• Great matches alone won’t maximize his ceiling.

Stephanie Vaquer Makes Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan

Grade: B

Stephanie Vaquer confirmed that Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan will wrestle next week in a No. 1 Contender’s Match, with the winner challenging her for the Women’s World Championship at Money in the Bank.

Simple.

Logical.

Stakes.

That’s all wrestling sometimes needs.

Instead of another argument where everybody claims they deserve something, WWE created a match where the winner actually earns something.

Compare that with what happened later between IYO SKY and Lyra Valkyria.

The difference becomes obvious.

What worked

• Crystal-clear stakes.
• Vaquer comes across like a champion willing to face whoever earns the opportunity.
• Becky vs. Liv gives next week’s RAW immediate importance.

What didn’t work

• Vaquer herself still needs more narrative focus as champion rather than constantly standing between other people’s stories.

LA Knight Sends a Message to Roman Reigns

Grade: A-

LA Knight’s video package was one of his better serious presentations.

Knight talked about fighting his way back toward the top and treated his upcoming World Heavyweight Championship Match against Roman Reigns like one of the biggest opportunities of his career.

That’s the version of LA Knight this feud needs.

Not endless catchphrases.

Not comedy.

He needs to convince viewers that challenging Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank means everything.

Later, Knight crossed paths with The Bloodline backstage and questioned how they allowed Solo Sikoa to get kidnapped.

Jey Uso fired back before Knight made it clear that he’ll be waiting for Roman.

Roman Reigns returns next Monday.

Good.

Now put Knight and Reigns in the same orbit and make the World Heavyweight Championship match feel enormous.

What worked

• Serious LA Knight is effective.
• Knight treated the championship like the culmination of years of work.
• His interaction with The Bloodline kept him connected to the larger Roman story.
• Roman’s return gives next week’s RAW a major centerpiece.

What didn’t work

• Roman’s absence forced Knight to carry most of the championship build tonight.

IYO SKY vs. Lyra Valkyria

Grade: A-

Excellent wrestling.

Questionable stakes.

IYO SKY was speaking with Adam Pearce when Lyra Valkyria interrupted. Lyra was frustrated because she had beaten Bayley but wasn’t receiving the opportunities she expected.

Pearce’s solution?

IYO SKY vs. Lyra Valkyria.

Fine.

But what exactly was IYO fighting for?

What did Lyra earn if she won?

Where were the stakes?

That’s my problem.

The contrast with Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan couldn’t be clearer.

Becky and Liv wrestle next week and the winner gets Stephanie Vaquer at Money in the Bank.

Everybody immediately understands why that match matters.

IYO and Lyra were given an opportunity to wrestle each other without a clearly defined competitive reward.

And they delivered anyway.

Lyra’s power offense meshed beautifully with IYO’s explosiveness. They traded counters, took increasingly bigger risks and had the crowd buying into the match.

Then Bayley appeared.

Lyra became distracted by her, creating the opening IYO needed to finish Valkyria with Over the Moonsault.

The wrestling delivered.

The Bayley-Lyra story moved forward.

I just wish IYO’s victory meant something more.

What worked

• Excellent chemistry.
• Lyra’s power against IYO’s speed worked beautifully.
• The crowd became heavily invested.
• Bayley’s appearance continued her issue with Lyra.
• IYO looked fantastic.

What didn’t work

• There were no clearly defined competitive stakes.
• IYO deserves a clearer direction.
• The match’s importance depended largely on the performers and Bayley’s involvement rather than something tangible being on the line.

Rey Fenix and Ethan Page Set a Match for Next Week

Grade: B

Rey Fenix discussed being able to defend the AAA Cruiserweight Championship across WWE’s brands.

That brought Ethan Page into the conversation.

The confrontation ultimately produced a match for next week:

Rey Fenix vs. Ethan Page.

For this recap, that’s exactly how I’m listing it.

The title was part of the conversation, but I’m not adding a championship stipulation to the results of tonight’s broadcast unless WWE clearly establishes it.

What worked

• Fenix representing AAA across WWE brands creates possibilities.
• Page is a natural personality opposite Fenix.
• The exchange quickly established next week’s match.
• WWE gave Fenix another television direction.

What didn’t work

• Discussing the championship around the challenge created enough ambiguity for different post-show reports to interpret the announcement differently.
• WWE should make the stakes unmistakable when promoting the match.

Penta & Je’Von Evans vs. Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh

Grade: A

This was my match of the night.

By this point, Milwaukee was completely alive.

Penta and Je’Von Evans against Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh gave RAW exactly what it needed late in the show: speed, chaos, near falls and an audience increasingly buying into everything.

Je’Von continues looking like somebody WWE should be building around for the next decade.

Penta’s hot tag received a huge reaction, and the pace kept climbing from there.

Then came the mistake.

Evans attempted an OG Cutter, McDonagh moved and Evans accidentally caught Penta.

Judgment Day immediately capitalized.

Then Joe Hendry became involved with the ongoing joke about JD McDonagh looking like a Funko Pop.

Ridiculous?

Absolutely.

Did the crowd enjoy it?

Absolutely.

The distraction eventually opened the door for Penta and Evans. Evans neutralized McDonagh while Penta planted Dominik with the Mexican Destroyer for the victory.

Then Bron Breakker appeared.

Breakker destroyed Penta and Evans with Spears.

That’s the important part.

Money in the Bank is increasingly becoming a collision between WWE’s present and future, and Breakker attacking two fellow competitors keeps the men’s ladder match from feeling like six wrestlers who simply happened to win qualifiers.

What worked

• Best crowd response of the wrestling portion of RAW.
• Je’Von Evans continues looking special.
• Penta remains ridiculously over.
• Judgment Day were excellent antagonists.
• The accidental OG Cutter created believable late-match drama.
• Breakker’s attack gave MITB additional tension.

What didn’t work

• The Joe Hendry distraction was funny, but the comedy briefly interrupted an excellent match.
• WWE needs to avoid reducing every MITB interaction to somebody randomly attacking another qualifier.

946 vs. The Bloodline — Jaida Parker Reveals Her True Colors

Grade: A+

This was the segment of the night.

Royce Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price came looking for The Bloodline.

Then everything exploded.

The Usos fought Nima and Price while Jacob Fatu and Royce Keys tore into each other, with the fight eventually spilling backstage and into the parking area.

Then came the car.

Jaida Parker hit Jacob Fatu.

At first, she acted horrified.

She played it like an accident.

Then everything changed.

Parker’s demeanor shifted and her allegiance became clear.

The woman who supposedly came to RAW to speak with Adam Pearce had just revealed why her presence mattered.

For longtime NXT viewers, this was much bigger than simply adding another person to 946.

Jaida Parker’s history with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price goes back to January 2024.

Nima and Price were already part of OTM when Parker approached the group and presented herself as the missing piece.

She became exactly that.

Parker joined Nima and Price in their rivalry with The Family. WWE eventually presented Nima, Price and Parker together as OTM against Tony D’Angelo, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Adriana Rizzo in a six-person tag team match at NXT Vengeance Day 2024.

The Family won that night.

But OTM helped establish Jaida Parker.

The group allowed her personality to breathe.

It gave her swagger, attitude and identity.

More than two years later, WWE just brought that history back.

946 didn’t randomly recruit Jaida Parker.

WWE reconnected an established relationship.

And that changes The Bloodline vs. 946.

Until tonight, 946’s biggest advantage was its willingness to go further than The Bloodline expected.

They attacked them.

They destroyed property.

They abducted Solo Sikoa.

Now they’ve added somebody The Bloodline didn’t see coming.

Jaida gives 946 another dimension.

She can create openings Nima, Price and Keys cannot.

And WWE actually told that story from the beginning of the episode.

The Bloodline saw an SUV and immediately assumed 946 was inside.

Instead, they found Jaida.

Hours later, Jaida was the trap.

That’s good wrestling storytelling.

It also creates several questions.

Is Jaida Parker officially moving to RAW?

Was the Adam Pearce meeting legitimate, or was that simply her cover story?

If Pearce really was expecting her, what were they supposed to discuss?

Does 946 expand further?

And, most importantly, what happens when Solo Sikoa comes back?

The Bloodline entered RAW wanting revenge for Solo.

They ended RAW with Jacob Fatu down and 946 stronger than when the night began.

That’s escalation.

What worked

• Excellent callback to Parker’s OTM history.
• The opening and closing segments connected.
• Parker immediately felt important.
• 946 became considerably more layered.
• Jacob Fatu being the victim makes retaliation personal.
• WWE rewarded longtime NXT viewers without making the story impossible for newer viewers to understand.
• The ending creates several legitimate questions moving forward.

What didn’t work

• I wanted to see Parker’s supposed meeting with Adam Pearce.
• WWE needs to explain whether Pearce genuinely expected her.
• The car spot required convenient wrestling timing, but the payoff was strong enough to make it work.

What Jaida Parker’s Move Means for NXT

If tonight represents Jaida Parker’s permanent main-roster call-up, NXT is losing one of its most naturally charismatic personalities.

But the timing makes sense.

Parker has established her character, worked significant programs and proven she can carry herself on television.

The main roster gives her a larger canvas.

More importantly, WWE isn’t introducing her without a purpose.

She didn’t appear in the background.

She didn’t receive a random match.

She appeared during the opening segment and became central to the final angle of the entire show.

That’s a potential call-up with intent.

Reconnecting her with Nima and Price also gives Parker something many NXT call-ups don’t immediately receive:

History.

She doesn’t need WWE to manufacture relationships around her.

Those relationships already exist.

And because 946 is involved with The Bloodline, Parker could immediately move from NXT into one of RAW’s most prominent ongoing stories.

That’s a much stronger starting point than simply calling somebody up and figuring out what to do with them later.

RAW’s Tag Team Division Still Needs Help

The Vision being involved with Oba Femi and Je’Von Evans doesn’t erase another problem:

Bron Breakker and Austin Theory are still the World Tag Team Champions.

They regained the championships from The Street Profits on July 6.

Yet the championships themselves have barely been the focus of their television presentation.

That’s backwards.

If WWE wants Breakker positioned as a future World Champion, fine.

If Austin Theory is part of The Vision’s larger story, fine.

But then build challengers around their championships.

The Street Profits. Alpha Academy. LWO combinations. NXT call-ups. New teams.

Anything.

The World Tag Team Championship should create stories.

Instead, the belts currently feel like accessories attached to wrestlers whose other stories matter more than the division they’re supposed to represent.

WWE needs to rebuild RAW’s tag division and make those championships matter again.

Best Match & Segment of the Night

Best Match: Penta & Je’Von Evans vs. Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh — A

The pace, crowd response, athleticism, near falls and closing stretch made this the strongest complete match on RAW.

Best Segment: 946 vs. The Bloodline/Jaida Parker Reveal — A+

Jaida Parker reconnecting with her OTM roots and aligning with 946 was the night’s biggest development. More importantly, WWE built the reveal from the opening segment through the final minutes of RAW.

Announced for Next Week’s WWE Monday Night RAW

• WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns returns.
• Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan (No. 1 Contender’s Match for the WWE Women’s World Championship).
• Lola Vice & Sol Ruca vs. Roxanne Perez & WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez.
• AAA World Cruiserweight Rey Fenix vs. Ethan Page.
• Fallout from Jaida Parker aligning with 946 and hitting Jacob Fatu with a car.

Updated WWE Money in the Bank Card

• Roman Reigns (c) vs. LA Knight (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
• Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Becky Lynch or Liv Morgan (WWE Women’s World Championship)

• Oba Femi vs. Bronson Reed

• WWE World Tag Team Champion Bron Breakker vs Je’ Von Evans vs WWE United States Champion Trick Williams vs Penta vs CM Punk vs TBD (Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

• Sol Ruca vs Lola Vice vs WWE Women’s United States Champion Jacy Jayne vs Roxanne Perez vs Lash Legend vs TBD (Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

Final Thoughts

RAW was better than its advertised lineup suggested.

The biggest reason was pacing.

WWE didn’t waste 20 minutes getting to the point. The Bloodline established its motivation, Jaida Parker appeared, and Lola Vice was ready to wrestle before the first commercial break.

Then the wrestling progressively improved.

Vice looked completely comfortable in her first main-roster singles match. Dragon Lee continued quietly building momentum. IYO SKY and Lyra Valkyria reminded everyone how ridiculously deep WWE’s women’s roster is even when WWE forgot to give their match meaningful stakes. Penta, Je’Von Evans, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh delivered the best match of the night.

The Money in the Bank fields are also becoming showcases for WWE’s changing generation.

Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Lola Vice, Roxanne Perez, Sol Ruca, Jacy Jayne and Lash Legend aren’t hypothetical future pieces anymore.

WWE is putting them in positions previously dominated by established main-roster names.

Then there’s Oba Femi.

WWE crowned him King of the Ring.

He defeated Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell.

Brock called him the future.

Whatever WWE ultimately establishes about the exact status of the championship opportunity originally attached to his King of the Ring victory, the bigger question isn’t complicated:

What are we waiting for?

Bronson Reed is a credible opponent.

It’s a match I want to see.

But it needs to move Oba forward.

You don’t want to find out how long somebody can stay white hot by repeatedly testing it.

And then there’s Jaida Parker.

WWE introduced her at the beginning, allowed viewers to almost forget about her for most of the night, then brought everything full circle when she hit Jacob Fatu with the car and revealed where her allegiance truly stood.

For viewers who remember OTM in NXT, the reveal carried another layer.

Jaida Parker didn’t just join another faction.

She went back to the mud.

And The Bloodline suddenly has a much bigger problem.
