Video summary
The latest episode of Monday Night Raw was pre-taped and delivered a high-octane performance centered around the chaotic reign of Royce Isaacs and his faction, OTM. The show opened with a brutal drive-by attack on Jimmy and Jay in their rental Mercedes, where Royce and his allies systematically dismantled the duo using crowbars and lead pipes. The violence was so intense that it resulted in significant bloodshed, though Netflix's censorship blurred out much of the gore and added glitch effects to the impact shots, which the narrator felt detracted from the raw realism of a professional wrestling show where such brutality is expected. Despite these production choices, the segment successfully established OTM as an unstoppable force on a mission to destroy anyone who crosses their path.
The narrative tension escalated when Jacob Fatu interrupted a championship match between Soul Ruka and Raquel to unleash a furious tirade against Royce and his crew, threatening severe retribution. This confrontation was cut short by Roman Reigns' arrival, who not only dismissed Jacob's grievances but also seemingly co-signed the destruction of Royce, framing the attacks as part of a larger Bloodline agenda. The storyline took a dramatic turn when Solo Knight appeared to be attacked by Jacob, only for it to be revealed that Royce and OTM were the true aggressors who left Solo bloodied in the parking garage. Roman then addressed the audience, dismissing complaints about lack of opportunities while simultaneously insulting LA Knight for choosing him over family, setting the stage for a potential showdown between the two men.
The main event featured a compelling brother-versus-brother match between Ray Phoenix and Penta El Gallo for the number one contender spot to Roman's world title. The bout reached its climax when Penta hit his own brother with a devastating move through the announce table, leading to a dramatic finish where Penta secured the victory after kicking out of a counter-attack. This outcome solidified Penta as the likely opponent for Roman Reigns in their upcoming match in Mexico City, marking a significant moment for a wrestler who recently transitioned from AEW. The episode concluded with a staredown between Roman and Penta, leaving the audience anticipating a blockbuster main event that promises to showcase the best of both competitors at the top of the card.

What's good y'all? It's your boy Ross
back at again with another video. So, we
got to talk about what happened on this
episode of Monday Night Raw. This
episode was pre-taped, so I tried my
best to avoid spoilers because I know
people were posting clips of what
happened at the show. So, anytime I seen
something, I just scroll past it because
I didn't want to be spoiled. I wanted to
be surprised. And I'm glad I was not
spoiled. I'm glad I was able to see what
I saw tonight cuz for a taped episode,
this was actually pretty enjoyable. I do
like the taped episodes on Netflix
because you can kind of just watch the
entirety of the show. There's no
commercial breaks. They just only have
what they filmed on the show. So, you
can kind of skip through if there's
certain segments you don't want to watch
or whatever the case is. But, you don't
have to worry about commercials. So,
that's most likely what I'm going to do
for Smackdown cuz Smackdown is also
going to be pre-taped. So, I'll probably
do that for Smackdown and watch it on
Netflix using a VPN. But nevertheless,
for a tape show, this was enjoyable.
Glad I didn't get spoiled cuz tonight
Royce Keys and OTM, they were on a
mission. They were doing drivebys all
night tonight and it was up for anybody
they had smoke with. So they start off
the show with
Jimmy and Jay pulling up in a nice
little rental. Nice Mercedes. They
pulling up. You know what I'm saying?
You know, getting ready for the show,
getting their bags and stuff. Jimmy gets
out the car. Jay's still in the front.
Jimmy gets out the car.
They don't even realize that Royce Keys
and OTM had pulled up behind him and
start attacking him, packing up Jimmy,
who didn't realize what was happening.
Jay's in the front seat. Um, Royce
starts hitting like officials in the
back with a crowbar. Then Royce pulls up
and starts smashing the front windshield
with a crowbar. Then pulls Jay out the
car. Jay is busted open. You see blood
on the top of his, you know, forehead
region. Now, one issue, I guess you
could say. I'm not a big fan of. They
blurred it out. They blurred out the
brutality during this segment. They
blurred out any if there was any blood,
they blurred it out. I did not like
that. I did not like that. I mean, it's
a professional wrestling show. Sometimes
blood is going to happen. It's if it's a
parking lot brawl, there should be some
blood. So, that's the only thing I can
say that was negative about this
segment. If you saw it live, you was
there watching it live, I know it was
even better. But us watching it on
Netflix, them blurring out all the blood
and stuff, I ain't like that. But Jay is
getting packed up by Royce. Then he's
getting stomped out. Jimmy is getting
packed up. He's bleeding from the mouth.
And then they end up pretty much like
power slamming him through the back
windshield of the vehicle. and they
glitched that added like a glitch effect
right before it impacted which once
again I do not like that it's Netflix
we've seen them pack up people on
Netflix through a car windshield I don't
know why they had to blur that out but
on the back windshield
or the back window uh Jimmy got put
through that and he slid off the back of
the car and before Solo not Solo Jacob
could get out there he had a lead pipe
they got back on the vehicle vehicle and
they drove off down the uh the parking
garage area and Jacob wasn't able to
catch up to him. But basically at the
beginning of the show, Jimmy and Jay got
destroyed. They got hit with a driveby,
got packed up, and it seems as if Royce
Keys and OTM, they're not stopping. They
they they are on a mission. So, the
first match of the night was going to be
Soul Ruka and versus uh um Raquel for
the women in women's Intercontinental
Championship.
And they're about to start the match.
Jacob
interrupts the match, picks up the
microphone, gets on the announce table,
and he starts going off. He goes off on
Royce Keys and OTM. He like, "That's how
y'all going to do. That's that's that's
what we on Royce and your crew. I'mma
beat you [ __ ] up, you know?
I'mma I'mma beat y'all [ __ ] asses.
Like, it's up. Like, he's going off
there censoring it. Like, he don't give
a damn. He's crashing out and he makes
he makes it very clear, bro. Uh, Royce
and you other guys, you know what I'm
saying? Royce and you other
[ __ ] I'm Well, he said
basically he said, "I'mma dogwalk you
motherfuckers." You can tell that's what
he said. But they bleeped out all of
that. They bleeped out all of that
because obviously you can't say
[ __ ] on television unless it's
a rated MA. They not going to do that.
So yeah, they bleeped out him saying
Royce and you other guys, I'mma dogwalk
you [ __ ] And then he was
finishing off, you know, his normal
normal saying I'm all all gas, no breaks
with it. But they had cut his mic. They
cut his mic. The officials trying to get
him off the announced table. He's
crashing the [ __ ] out. Mind you, this is
a championship match that's supposed to
happen in the ring. And honestly, they
they didn't give a damn. So, I can
appreciate that. I thought that was
pretty it it gave off this like this is
happening in real time. We don't have no
control over this situation. I love
that. So, that happens. They end up
having a match. Uh Lyra um gets
involved, ends up costing Soul Ruka the
match, which I figured, which was going
to happen. They're going to set up set
up a few between Lyra and um Soul Ruka.
So, that's going to happen. And Raquel
was still able to retain her women's
intercontinental championship, which is
awesome. So, Roman pulls up. He pulls up
past the messed up Mercedes. So, he
pulls up. He sees Jacob waiting on him
and he's trying to get a status update.
How how the how they doing? They're not
looking too good right now. They b they
banged up. They got caught lacking
basically. And
that's when you know he he basically
Jacob was letting him know look bro
Roman I haven't seen Royce like this
since back when we was younger when we
was on that type of time when we was
running the streets together. basically
th this this Royce
he's you think I'm a problem he's going
to be a problem he going to have to get
dealt with and Roman makes it very clear
look that's your problem he's a your
problem you deal with it I'm going to go
ahead and deal with my problems now what
I find interesting about that is Roman
co-sign the destruction of Royce keys so
if anything Royce would be a your
problem too cuz Roman you cosign Jacob
destroying him a few weeks back. So
Royce is just trying to get his get
back. It's going to be a problem for you
two as it should be because he's only
doing this off the orders of what Roman
had put out there. So Roman comes out to
the ring and he basically addresses,
you know, people that he feel like um
don't deserve an opportunity at his
championship. You know, he says he
should be focusing on the number one
contendership between uh Penta
and Ray Phoenix, but instead he's
focusing on people bitching and moaning
about them not getting no opportunities.
We not dealing with that. And then he
was about to address LA night and oh no,
he addressed Solo and he he told Solo
like like look like I don't I don't get
it. You supposed to be acknowledging me.
You're supposed to be serving me and the
family, but you chose LA Knight. Really?
I get it. You know, he reminds you of
the Rock, but guess what? He's not The
Rock. He's not family. You chose him
over family. And then that's when LA
Knight comes out there and LA's like,
"Man, you you use I expected better from
you using this same old joke you said a
few years ago. I'm not The Rock. I I
expected better from you,
you know, but it's all good because this
is what you've been doing. You tend to
put your family between me and you. You
don't want to face me. That's really
just what it is. You're you're afraid to
face me. You're not You don't want the
smoke with me, but I want the smoke with
you. Essentially what he said. He's
about to get into the ring. Looks like I
guess he's about to square up with
Roman. Roman's just standing there
getting ready for it. And all of a
sudden, the Titantron comes on and you
see Solo, he's bloodied up, busted open,
and then you see Jacob Fatu. So, the way
they framed it, you would have thought
Jacob attacks Solo, but that's not the
case. LA comes out there. LA doesn't
know really what's happening, so he just
assumes Jacob did the attack on Solo and
Jacob saying, "I didn't do this." And
then that's when LA gets hit with a
Superman punch from behind and Roman and
Roman tells Jacob, "Hey, handle Royce
keys.
LA, he's already been taken care of."
And he walks off and there uh Royce ends
up posting a clip and I end up seeing it
um at the end of the show. He posted a
clip of him pretty much confirming he
and OTM attacked Solo, left him
bloodied, and then he basically said,
"We coming for y'all. We coming for you
niggas." That's basically what it was.
We coming for you, Jacob, and anybody
else. So
once again, Royce Keys OTM hit did
another driveby, packed up Solo. I don't
think Solo really deserves this cuz once
again, Royce, I get it. He didn't come
out there to save you while you was
getting packed up by Jacob. I get it. I
understand. But your hatred is misplaced
because it's not solo. It's not solo you
should be worried about. Your hatred
should be coming at Jacob and your
hatred should be going straight for
Roman. That's where it needs to go cuz
he's the one that co-signed this. My boy
Solo didn't deserve that brutality, man.
Come on now. But yeah, Royce Keys OTM
tonight's show was specifically about
them destroying people and building up
this new group as just just guys as
willing to destroy any and everyone that
gets into their way with utmost
brutality. And I enjoyed it. I like
that. Those are my favorite parts of
Monday Night Raw tonight cuz this that
was great. Also main event, brother
versus brother, Ray Phoenix versus Penta
to see who's going to be the number one
contender for Roman Reigns World
Heavyweight Championship when they face
uh have that match in Mexico City. And
great match. It really picked up uh
towards the end when um Penta hit his
own brother Ray Phoenix with the Penta
driver through the announce table. I
thought that was a great spot. Holy [ __ ]
moment. crowd was really into this
towards the end and even when Ray was
selling it like just in me brother in me
and he kind of you know faked him in
only for him to try to get the quick
pinfall victory ultimately Penta was
able to kick out hit him with the Penta
Destroyer for the one two three great
great finish to uh a match and uh we
kind of figured Penta was going to be
the guy to face Roman and he's the
number one contender. Roman comes out
there, they have a staredown and that's
how Monday Night Raw ends. And you you
knew Penta was going to be the guy that
they want to uh have face Roman. And
honestly, I've enjoyed what they've done
with Penta. think for anybody that's
come through, you know, come from AEW
and stuff and come into WWE and how
they've utilized them, Penta's probably
been one of the best case scenarios,
which proves that they can invest in you
if they want to. I wish they would give
that same type of love and treatment to
or a little bit more love and treatment
to Ray Phoenix on Smackdown, but that's
neither here nor there. But yeah, Penta,
they've been utilizing him great and now
he's having a world championship main
event match with Roman Reigns in Mexico.
Most likely he's not going to win, but
that is a very big like that's I mean
you're you're at the top of the card at
that point. So great opportunity P for
Penta. Roman and Penta. I I think
they're going to you know knock it out
the park. Uh it should be a great match
between both of these guys when when
that happens. But overall, tonight's
show is basically uh Royce Keys and OTM
packing up people. And uh if you on
Monday Night Raw and you're related to
the Bloodline or you cool with the
Bloodline, you you may want to watch it
back cuz uh they're packing up
everybody. But hey, comment down below.
Let me know. Did you guys enjoy this
episode of Monday Night Raw? Let me know
how you felt about the show. I
appreciate all love, support, road two,
200k. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y
next one. Peace.
