"Did Dirty Dominik Mysterio ever really have a chance at defeating Oba Femi in a one-on-one encounter? Even with some help from JD McDonagh and The Judgment Day, did he ever really have a shot? Even while cheating with a low blow and a loaded boot, did he ever really have a chance at it? No. No he did not. They met up in the King of the Ring semifinals on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Baltimore and Mysterio tried everything to get the edge on the big fella. But even after all that, Femi kicked out at just one and proceeded to put Mysterio down with the Fall From Grace to the advance to the Finals. OBA FEMI ADVANCES!!! 👑 @Obaofwwe The Ruler wants to be KING of the Ring!! pic.twitter.com/sY33yQygQ6 — WWE (@WWE) June 16, 2026 Oba now awaits the winner of the Je’Von Evans vs. Jey Uso match on Friday Night SmackDown this week. Despite the victory, Femi kept his focus on Brock Lesnar in a post-match promo, saying he expected The Beast to attack this week. He did not. The obvious tease here is that Lesnar is going to show up at some point to cost Oba his the King of the Ring tournament but it keeps not happening and the prospect of Femi vs. Roman Reigns at SummerSlam is highly intriguing. We’re one step closer to it. Get complete Raw results and coverage of this week’s entire episode by clicking here.
