WWE Monday Night Raw aired live from Baltimore, Maryland this week and the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments continued with two semifinal matches.
Iyo Sky faced off against Raquel Rodriguez in the first semifinal match of the night, and both women pushed each other to the limit. Near the end of the match Iyo drove Raquel’s face intot he ring post, connected with a powerbomb on Raquel, then followed up with a moonsault to pick up the victory and advance to the Queen of the Ring finals. Iyo Sky will go on to face the winner of Liv Morgan vs. Charlotte Flair.
Later in the night Oba Femi and Dominik Mysterio faced off in the Raw main event, and it was Oba Femi who picked up the victory to advance in the King of the Ring tournament. JD McDonagh tried to interfere, but Oba knocked him off the apron. While Oba and the referee were distracted, Dom hit Oba with a low blow, followed by a 619 and a Frog Splash, but it wasn’t enough. Oba then chokeslammed Dominik and JD and hit them both with a series of running uppercuts.
Oba Femi threw Domnik across the ring then sealed the deal when he put Dominik down for the three count with the Fall From Grace. Femi will face the winner of Jey Uso vs. Je’Von Evans in the finals.
After the match Oba got on the mic and said he’s one win away from The Ruler getting his crown. He addressed Brock Lesnar and said he’s surprised Lesnar didn’t show his face tonight. Femi told Brock that he went from looking up to him as a man, to questioning if he’s a man at all. As the show went off the air Oba said when it’s all said and done he will be king, and Brock will be the man who ran from Oba Femi.
