Monday Night Raw delivered a loaded episode from Baltimore, and the story everyone’s talking about this morning is Oba Femi continuing his march toward a crown. The former NXT Champion dismantled Dominik Mysterio in the main event β JD McDonagh interference and all β and looked every bit like a future world-title-level force in doing so. Meanwhile, Iyo Sky punched her ticket to the King and Queen of the Ring finals by getting past Raquel Rodriguez, setting up what could be a genuinely special tournament showcase in Saudi Arabia. Night of Champions is shaping up to be one of the stronger Saudi shows in recent memory, and that’s not a sentence we’ve been able to write every year.
Teddy Long Confirms He’s On A WWE Legends Deal, Doesn’t Expect A TV Return
Good for Teddy Long for securing that bag β a Legends deal is the right reward for someone who had genuine cultural impact during the SmackDown brand’s most prosperous era. His candor about not expecting a TV return is refreshing; not every legend needs to be recycled for a cameo pop. Holla holla, the man’s comfortable, and honestly that’s the best outcome.
Logan Paul And Angelo Dawkins Return On WWE Raw
Logan Paul crashing Je’Von Evans’ moment to pitch The Vision was exactly the kind of heat-generating segment the faction needed β and Evans rejecting it immediately was the right call, protecting his babyface equity while making Paul look like a legitimate threat worth rebuffing. Angelo Dawkins’ return is quieter news, but the Street Profits have been treading water long enough that a fresh start for him feels overdue. The Vision continues to be one of Raw’s more interesting ongoing threads, and Paul’s commitment to the character work remains genuinely impressive.
First Finalists Confirmed For WWE King And Queen Of The Ring
Oba Femi and Iyo Sky advancing to the Night of Champions finals is, frankly, the correct booking β both feel like they have somewhere meaningful to go with a crown attached to their name. Femi overcoming interference to bulldoze Dominik only adds to his aura; the story writes itself when a monster has to fight through chaos and still wins clean-enough. Sky winning a tournament, historically, tends to mean something significant is coming, and after her title reign last year she absolutely has the credibility to carry it.
WWE Cut A Segment Where The Boogeyman Grabbed Donald Trump By The Collar At WrestleMania 23
This is the kind of backstage story that lives rent-free in your head once you hear it β the mental image of The Boogeyman seizing a future president by the collar while worms are presumably still happening nearby is genuinely unhinged television that we were apparently robbed of. WWE’s editorial caution in the moment is understandable, but it also feels like a relic of a wilder, stranger era when absolutely anything could end up on a show. The Boogeyman on a podcast circuit reminiscing about almost causing a diplomatic incident is exactly the content we’re here for.
Possible Spoiler For A Big Match At WWE Night Of Champions
Without getting into specific spoiler territory, the rumblings around Night of Champions suggest WWE is planning to use the Saudi stage for at least one significant title or marquee match result that could reshape a major storyline heading into the summer. Saudi shows have historically been used to either reset narratives or rubber-stamp foregone conclusions, so the smart money is on paying close attention to how Raw and SmackDown build these next two weeks. The tournament finals alone justify the watch β anything on top of that is a bonus.
Injured WWE Star Returns On Raw After Relinquishing Title
A major return on a live Raw still moves the needle, and the reaction in Baltimore made clear the audience hadn’t forgotten about this particular absence. Without over-telegraphing the specifics, a returning star who had to vacate gold always carries built-in motivation and sympathy β the rematch clause writes itself, and the crowd already feels invested. If WWE builds this patiently rather than rushing back to the title picture inside three weeks, there’s a genuinely compelling storyline sitting right there.
Former WWE Star Heidenreich Explains Why He Left The Industry
Heidenreich is one of those acts that existed in such a specific mid-2000s WWE bubble that it’s almost hard to contextualize now, but his willingness to be open about stepping away from the business is worth respecting. Wrestling chews through people, and not everyone finds a second chapter in the industry β sometimes walking away is the healthiest decision a performer can make. Chris Van Vliet continues to be one of the better interviewers for this kind of reflective, personal conversation.
Shawn Dean Recalls Je’Von Evans And Jackson Drake Having ‘The Best Three Minute Match’ He’s Ever Seen At A Seminar
This is a lovely piece of backstory context for Evans, whose current push on Raw feels increasingly well-earned the more you learn about his trajectory. The fact that he and Jackson Drake were turning heads in a seminar setting long before either had significant TV time speaks to genuine, foundational talent rather than just a hot look or a viral moment. AEW’s loss is very much WWE’s gain, and the Logan Paul segment last night suggests creative is treating Evans like someone worth protecting.
WWE Raw Results β June 15, 2026: Baltimore
A stacked card with a main event that actually delivered, two tournament semis, a major return, and Logan Paul causing chaos β on paper, this was one of the more complete Raws in a while. Baltimore crowds have historically been reliable for atmosphere, and CFG Bank Arena gave the show some genuine energy throughout. If you haven’t caught up yet, this one’s worth your time rather than just a results scroll.
Chad Gable Gets A New WWE Theme Song And Fans Are Divided
A polarizing theme reaction is almost a rite of passage for any significant character repackaging, and Gable dropping the El Grande Americano mask means WWE is betting that the real Chad Gable β one of the most legitimately talented in-ring workers on the roster β can carry a renewed push on his own terms. The divided reaction is less about the song and more about fans processing whether WWE is actually committing to the character long-term or if this is another stop-start situation. Given that he beat Rusev on his return and the mask is gone, cautious optimism feels warranted β emphasis on cautious.
π€ The WAW Take
Raw delivered enough last night to make the weekly conversation worthwhile, which is more than we can say for some recent stretches of the product. Night of Champions is two weeks out, the tournament picture is clarifying nicely, and somehow Boogeyman nearly strangling a future head of state is the sleeper story of the Tuesday news cycle. Stay locked to WAW β we’ll have eyes on everything so you don’t miss a thing.
