If there’s one thing that Oba Femi has that Brock Lesnar never did throughout his entire career, it’s incredible promo skills. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the fact they were involved in separate segments to actually sign the contract they didn’t get to last week, thanks to a brawl, but I actually ended up loving it. We’re seen numerous brawls between the pair over the last few weeks, and I really assumed that Lesnar would get the upper hand here ahead of Femi hopefully winning on Sunday, and I was pleasantly surprised that wasn’t the case.
Instead, we got Femi cutting an all-time promo, going toe-to-toe with Paul Heyman, which isn’t an easy task, even when you’re not literally right in front of your boss, Triple H, who of course had to also be there. Femi got out there to sign the contract and was immediately met by Heyman who stayed on the stage, and the “advocate” for Lesnar brought up some good points, including the fact that Femi is the fastest rising star since Lesnar. Heyman basically offered Femi a job once Lesnar wraps it up, but Femi shut that down quick.
Femi, who got a lot of time for this, but not too much that it felt like a ramble, said that Lesnar was scared of him. He mentioned he was the “ruler, destroyer, and bringer of war,” a line I believe he’s used before. And his way of cutting a promo is just so good. He doesn’t talk too fast, but he also doesn’t pause or speak in the cadence that would even begin to allow a “what” chant, if the crowd would even considering “what”-ing him. He speaks like he means business, and his promo style matches his presence perfectly. He did inspire a loud “beat his a**” chant and had to double back ever-so slightly with his lines, but it was hardly noticeable.
He said he was the one, and has always been the one, and left time for the crowd to cheer and chant. He said he knows it, the crowd knows it, and at WrestleMania, Heyman will know it too before dropping the mic. I was worried Lesnar’s music was going to hit and interrupt the moment, but thankfully, we just got Femi staring down Heyman as the crowd went nuts for “The Ruler.” This is my most anticipated match at WrestleMania, mainly because I’m terrified Lesnar is going to win since he had name value in front of a casual ESPN crowd, but I’m starting to feel more confident in the former NXT Champion, especially after this segment tonight.
The final WWE RAW before WrestleMania delivered a chaotic and emotionally charged night, stacking the card with momentum shifting moments, personal confrontations, and explosive in ring action as tensions reached a breaking point.
The show opened with Roman Reigns addressing CM Punk in a pre recorded message that immediately set the tone. Reigns accused Punk of being a hypocrite, backing it up with clips of Punk contradicting himself over the years. Confident as ever, Reigns claimed he does not lie and that is why fans continue to acknowledge him. He then issued Punk one final opportunity to tell the truth later in the night.
Backstage, several major names were shown preparing for the night including Seth Rollins, Gunther, and others set to collide at WrestleMania, giving the show a tense, loaded atmosphere from the outset.
The situation between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi escalated in a major way with a split contract signing overseen by Adam Pearce and Triple H. Paul Heyman made it clear no one should even think about getting close to Lesnar, framing the situation as dangerous before it even began. Lesnar wasted no time signing the contract, with Heyman dramatically calling it a death warrant. Lesnar then grabbed the microphone himself and coldly stated that after WrestleMania, nobody would remember Oba Femi’s name.
Later in the show, Femi made his entrance for his own signing and carried himself like a star ready for the moment. While Heyman praised his rapid rise, he still insisted everything would end at WrestleMania. Femi responded with intensity, saying he was holding himself back from attacking Heyman and that while physical scars heal, emotional ones last forever. He called himself the mountain Lesnar cannot climb and promised he would be the one to end the myth of the beast, making it clear he sees this as his defining moment.
A major spotlight was placed on iShowSpeed, who continued his unlikely journey toward an in ring debut. In a pre recorded segment alongside Logan Paul and Austin Theory, Speed admitted he is not a wrestler, but the duo pushed him to step up. A training montage followed showing him attempting bodyslams, aerial moves, and submissions, building his confidence ahead of a high pressure match. The segment also reinforced the growing rivalry with LA Knight and The Usos.
Lyra Valkyria vs Charlotte Flair
This match quickly turned into a highly competitive back and forth contest. Lyra Valkyria used her agility early, countering Charlotte Flair with quick transitions and high impact offense. Flair responded with her trademark power and control, slowing the pace and punishing Valkyria with chops and submissions.
As the match progressed, both women traded near falls, including a top rope leg drop from Valkyria and a moonsault from Flair. The closing stretch saw chaos at ringside, with Bayley and Alexa Bliss getting involved. That distraction allowed Valkyria to capitalize and roll Flair up for a big win.
After the bell, tensions exploded into a brawl between all four women, forcing officials to step in before things escalated further.
Backstage, The Usos and LA Knight confronted Solo Sikoa and his group, with insults flying about loyalty and family. Knight issued a challenge on the spot, setting up a six man clash that carried major faction implications.
The Usos And LA Knight vs Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa And JC Mateo
The match was chaotic from the start, with constant tags and high energy offense. The Usos used their chemistry to isolate opponents, while LA Knight brought intensity with strikes and counters. Solo Sikoa’s side relied on brute force and interference to stay in control.
The action spilled outside the ring multiple times, including a brutal moment where Jey Uso was launched onto the announce desk. Just as things reached a breaking point, Tama Tonga appeared through the crowd, creating confusion among his own allies.
Back in the ring, LA Knight took advantage of the distraction and delivered his finisher to secure the victory. The post match tension between Sikoa and Tama Tonga added another layer of intrigue heading into WrestleMania.
Seth Rollins and Gunther brought their rivalry to another level during a heated in ring confrontation. Rollins blindsided Gunther before demanding answers. Gunther claimed he is the true best wrestler and accused Rollins of disrespect. The segment quickly turned physical, with both men trading heavy shots until Gunther retreated, leaving Rollins standing tall but the issue far from settled.
Iyo Sky vs Kairi Sane
This match started at a frantic pace, with both women trading strikes and counters on the mat and in the air. Iyo Sky showcased her speed with high flying offense, including a moonsault to the outside, while Kairi Sane answered with precise strikes and top rope attacks.
The turning point came when Asuka interfered, slamming Sky into the ring post behind the referee’s back. This triggered Rhea Ripley to rush out, only to be taken out by Jade Cargill. With chaos unfolding around ringside, Sane capitalized and rolled Sky up for the win. The aftermath left multiple rivalries colliding at once.
Dragon Lee And Je’Von Evans vs JD McDonagh And Rusev
This fast paced tag match saw momentum swing rapidly between both teams. Dragon Lee and Je’Von Evans relied on speed and aerial offense, hitting dives and quick combinations, while JD McDonagh and Rusev used power and precision to slow things down.
The finish came after a flurry of action, including a Spanish Fly and a Styles Clash that secured the win. However, the spotlight quickly shifted to Rusev, who snapped after the loss.
Rusev unleashed a dominant post match assault, taking out multiple competitors including Rey Mysterio and Penta. One by one, potential ladder match opponents were laid out, with Rusev standing tall as the final image, sending a clear message ahead of WrestleMania.
The closing segment brought everything back to Roman Reigns and CM Punk. Punk made his way through the crowd and delivered a deeply personal promo, admitting he envies Reigns’ career, his legacy, and even his position in WWE. He reflected on his own journey across the world, saying wrestling is his family, while also acknowledging the weight of facing Reigns on the biggest stage.
Punk apologized for invoking Sika’s name and admitted that part of his hatred comes from envy. Despite that, he promised that after WrestleMania, he would still be champion.
Reigns responded by saying he hates Punk too, particularly because of Punk’s connection with the fans. He dismissed Punk’s vision of the future and instead declared that WrestleMania will end with him reclaiming the top spot, promising that Punk will acknowledge him once it is over.
With emotions running high and multiple rivalries exploding at once, the final RAW before WrestleMania left no doubt that the stage is set for a massive showdown.
WWE has officially confirmed the opening matches for both nights of WrestleMania 42, setting the tone for the biggest show of the year.
On Night One, the six-man tag team match featuring IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory against LA Knight and The Usos will kick off the show. The match is also set to air on ESPN2.

With both opening matches now confirmed, WrestleMania 42’s structure is set, giving fans a clearer picture of how each night will unfold.
Hulk Hogan’s upcoming Netflix project is set to offer one of the most in-depth looks at his life and career, with new details shedding light on both the content and emotional timing behind the production.
Director Brian Storkel confirmed the Hulk Hogan Netflix documentary will be a four-part series, totaling roughly four hours. The documentary will explore the full life of Terry Bollea, from his early years through his wrestling career and beyond.
“It comes out on April 22 on Netflix. We have four parts. So it’s a full, you know, four hours of Hulk Hogan and Terry Bollea. I think that’s the incredible thing with this is, I think we were able to go a lot deeper than other past projects, you know, just because we had full participation from Terry. And then also being able to have four hours to dive in. There’s just so much in his life, in his career, that we know about, but then there’s so much more in his personal life that we were able to get into that hasn’t been told before.”
The series follows a chronological format. The first episode focuses on Hogan’s early life and rise in wrestling, while the second highlights the peak of Hulkamania, including major moments with The Iron Sheik and early WrestleMania events.
“It’s all pretty much chronological. So part one is the rise and just the backstory from his childhood all the way up to the early days of wrestling in Florida, Championship Wrestling, up to Minnesota, early days of WWF. And then it kind of culminates with him becoming the Hulk Hogan and headed back to the WWF.”
“Episode two is more the height of Hulkamania, from the Iron Sheik all the way through WrestleMania one, WrestleMania III, gets all the way through five, I believe.”
The third episode shifts to his Hollywood run and his transformation into “Hollywood Hogan” during the nWo era, while the final chapter explores his later years, including life outside the ring and public controversies.
“Our third episode is Hollywood Hogan. So it had both his years in Hollywood in the movies. We talked to some people like Christopher Lloyd about Suburban Commando and things. And then it goes into him in the NWO era of actually becoming the bad guy, Hollywood Hogan, and takes us all the way through, I think, The Rock and WrestleMania 18.”
“And then the final episode is kind of everything after wrestling. It’s like he’s trying to figure out how to get out of wrestling, does the reality show, other things come up, obviously there’s some scandal and some things that happen afterwards. And then it leads us all the way through the RNC and Donald Trump and through his death. So it covers extensively his entire life.”
Storkel also revealed that the timing of production added an emotional layer to the project. Filming took place shortly before Hogan’s health declined, leaving the team unable to capture additional planned footage.
“The timing couldn’t have been crazier, because I only met with him in person in February. We filmed March and April, five days of his main interview where he told his whole life story, and then there was a lot of other stuff. We went on the road with him, filmed in Florida with him, a bunch. I’d say we were 90 percent shot, and we were probably going to do a few more pickup things down the road. But we shot in March and April. He went in the hospital in May, and then never really recovered.”
Despite missing a few personal moments, Storkel said the team captured everything needed to complete the story.
“So we had everything we needed to tell his story. I think some of the more fun things, you know, like when I left last, he was like, okay, we’re going to go out in the boat next time. So I was excited to do that. Or one of the things I really wanted to do was film him up close, just grooming his mustache. I never got to do that. But as far as telling his story, we got pretty much everything we needed, and we’d been in the edit already. There was just a chance to go shoot a little bit more with him that we never got.”
The Hulk Hogan Netflix documentary is scheduled to release on April 22, 2026, shortly after WrestleMania 42 weekend and Hogan’s latest recognition during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
WWE RAW Results – April 13, 2026 – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s coverage of WWE RAW on April 13, from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
A pre‑recorded message from Roman Reigns airs. He sits in a controlled setting, calm but razor‑focused, staring directly into the camera. Roman says CM Punk should have enjoyed his moment — enjoyed his relevance — because it didn’t last. When Roman won the Royal Rumble, Punk didn’t show respect. He lied. He tried to rewrite Roman’s history. Roman says Punk’s fanbase lived through every second of it, and all Punk did was expose himself as a hypocrite. Roman repeats it with disdain: Embarrassing.
Roman says he’s always liked Pat McAfee, but never has he had to listen to a punter run his mouth at him. He tells Punk that nobody believes in him anymore. This isn’t 2012. The people trust Roman now.
Roman gives Punk one final opportunity tonight — one last chance to tell the truth. Because if Punk won’t, Roman will.
– We then cut to footage from last week’s chaotic contract‑less contract signing, the moment that set the tone for tonight’s confrontation.
In the Arena:
Paul Levesque and Adam Pearce are already in the ring as Raw returns, ready to address the situation surrounding Sunday’s opening match. Pearce welcomes everyone to Raw and says that, to ensure the match actually makes it to WrestleMania, Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will be signing the contract separately.
Paul Heyman interrupts.
Heyman steps onto the stage and says Pearce is absolutely correct — the contract signing will take place separately, because nobody needs to be anywhere near Brock Lesnar. Heyman stresses that this is for everyone’s safety, delivered with his usual smug confidence.
Brock Lesnar’s music hits. The crowd erupts as Lesnar storms out, bouncing on his toes in the signature Brock Bounce, eyes locked on the ring and a grin spreading across his face as the tension spikes instantly.
Lesnar takes the contract from Adam Pearce without hesitation. He signs it with a quick stroke, hands it back, and then — in a rare moment of civility — shakes hands with both Pearce and Paul Levesque.
Paul Heyman steps forward, smirking as he looks down at the signed document. He tells Pearce that this might as well be a Nigerian death warrant, the way Brock Lesnar just signed it. Heyman begins to say he’s glad that—
Brock cuts him off.
Lesnar leans into the microphone and growls that after this weekend, Oba Femi won’t even remember his own name.
Heyman regains his composure and delivers his final proclamation. This Sunday, in what he calls the real main event of WrestleMania, here is something that is not a prediction — but a spoiler. There will be a winner, and there will be a loser. And the loser’s name is Oba Femi. Heyman says that to go “balls deep” into the rumors that Brock can’t win this, he’ll make it simple: Brock Lesnar will be the winner of the match.
The crowd reacts as the tension spikes, the contract now signed and the collision at WrestleMania officially sealed.
Backstage — IShowSpeed, Logan Paul & Austin Theory
We cut to a training facility where IShowSpeed is working out alongside Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Speed looks overwhelmed, shaking his head as he admits he isn’t a wrestler and doesn’t know what he’s doing out here.
Logan tells him it doesn’t matter whether he’s a wrestler or not — he’s a phenom, a natural, and it’s time to lock in. Austin Theory steps in, reminding Speed that the Usos aren’t tag champions because of him. He punched LA Knight with the brass knuckles. Everyone hates him… except them.
Logan and Theory hype him up, pushing him to focus as Speed tries to shake off the pressure.
A graphic flashes on screen announcing that the six‑man tag match will open Saturday night at WrestleMania.

Lyra rolls her up for a near fall.

Flair heads up top again for a moonsault, but Lyra kicks her away. Lyra then yanks Flair off the turnbuckles and drops a leg across the back of her neck for a near fall. Lyra climbs and goes for a moonsault of her own, but Flair gets the knees up.
Flair reaches for the Figure Four, but Lyra traps her in an inside cradle and nearly steals it.
Lyra fires off an enzuigiri, but Flair answers with a boot to the head. Flair climbs to the top rope and connects with a moonsault for a near fall.

Winner: Lyra Valkyria
After the match, all four women — Flair, Lyra, Bayley, and the ringside presence — shove and argue in the ring as tensions boil over with WrestleMania looming.
Backstage — The Usos, LA Knight, Solo Sikoa
We head backstage where The Usos and LA Knight are walking together — only to be stopped by Solo Sikoa and his crew. Solo says he has a lot on his plate tonight. Tama Tonga isn’t here, and now he has to deal with them making the family look bad on Raw by hanging around with “this clown.”
Jimmy steps forward and says there is a problem.
LA Knight cuts in, unfazed, and suggests they settle it the old‑fashioned way — with a six‑man tag match tonight.

We Hear from Penta
Penta El Zero Miedo steps onto the stage to a loud reaction and greets the people of Sacramento. He asks how everyone is doing — but the crowd isn’t loud enough for him. He raises his voice and says that this Sunday there will be danger, there will be pain, and he knows pain better than anyone. He promises to bring that pain to whoever stands across from him. This isn’t just a match. This is a war.
In the Arena
Stephanie Vaquer makes her way to the ring as Cathy Kelley notes how personal things have become between the competitors.
Before Stephanie can even respond, Liv Morgan blindsides her from behind. Liv unloads with punches, but Stephanie fires back and the two start swinging wildly until officials rush in to separate them.
Liv shouts that they should do this right now. She says she always knew Stephanie’s mother was trash — but she didn’t know she raised a little bitch.
Stephanie snaps and yells back that there’s no reason to wait until WrestleMania. She breaks free, slides back into the ring, and the fight reignites. More punches fly as officials struggle to pull them apart again.
They’re separated for a moment — but this is pro wrestling, and Vaquer breaks loose first, charging across the ring and attacking Liv again. The brawl spills toward the ropes as security swarms.
Cathy Kelley, caught in the chaos, is helped to the back as the segment ends in complete disorder.
Jackie Redmond is standing by with IYO SKY and asks if she has anything she wants to say heading into WrestleMania. IYO calmly admits she lost, but she doesn’t mind stepping aside to wrestle for her friend. She says no one will be rooting for Rhea Ripley more than she will.
Asuka and Kairi Sane walk into frame. Asuka wastes no time, reminding IYO that she walked into WrestleMania last year as champion — and now she’s reduced to being Rhea’s sidekick. The words hit sharp, and IYO fires back, telling Kairi she doesn’t have to listen to Asuka.
Asuka steps between them and says Kairi will prove herself against IYO. She pats Kairi on the shoulder and tells her she’s a good girl, leading her away like a pet as IYO glares after them.
The show cuts to a break. We will be back for more WWE RAW results for April 13, 2026.
Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso & LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa, Tanga Loa & JC Mateo
JC Mateo and Jimmy Uso start things off. Jimmy floats over and cracks JC with a thrust kick followed by a right hand. Jey tags in and drives a forearm into the corner, then clotheslines JC over the top rope. Jey follows with a plancha to the floor, hammering JC with punches before rolling him back inside.
Loa distracts the referee, allowing Talla to clothesline Jey from the apron. JC lands a forearm and tags in Loa, who unloads with kicks and punches before choking Jey against the ropes.

In‑Ring Confrontation — Seth Rollins & GUNTHER
GUNTHER makes his way to the ring, but before he can even settle, Seth Rollins charges in with a double‑leg takedown and rains down punches. GUNTHER rolls to the floor to regroup as Seth paces in the ring, fired up.
Seth grabs a mic and says that for two straight weeks, GUNTHER jumped him — and tonight was the receipt. At WrestleMania, he finishes the job. If this is personal for GUNTHER and not just about kissing Paul Heyman’s ass, then he should be a man, walk back to the ring, and tell Seth to his face why he wants this fight.
GUNTHER slowly walks back down the aisle, steps into the ring, and takes a microphone. He gets right in Seth’s face. He says he’s solving Paul Heyman’s problem because Seth Rollins is pissing him off. For years, Seth strutted around acting like he was the best in the ring — but he isn’t. GUNTHER is. And deep down, Seth never wanted to find out. Instead of seeking the highest level of competition, Seth chose to be Paul Heyman’s useful idiot. GUNTHER says it’s personal because he wants to expose the truth: Seth Rollins can’t lace his boots.
GUNTHER shoves Seth. Seth fires back with punches. GUNTHER knees him in the gut and goes for a powerbomb, but Seth slips free. Seth boots GUNTHER to the floor and lines up for a Stomp on the ring steps — but GUNTHER moves and Seth stomps nothing but steel.
The tension between them is now fully combustible heading into WrestleMania.
Backstage — Dominik Mysterio & Adam Pearce
Dominik Mysterio storms into Adam Pearce’s office, frustrated and panicked. He says he asked for his father to get a title shot — and now he’s stuck facing the Demon. Dom reminds Pearce that Finn Balor said the Demon was dead. The contract was to face Finn, not the Demon, so the match should be canceled.
Pearce doesn’t budge.
He tells Dom that Rey Mysterio absolutely deserves to be in the match. And as for Dom? Pearce tells him to go stare at the person looking back at him in the mirror. Rey is getting what he deserves… and Dominik is getting what he deserves — a match with the Demon at WrestleMania.
Results for WWE RAW on April 13, 2026 continue after a break.
IYO SKY vs. Kairi Sane
Kairi Sane charges in at the bell with a Thesz Press and rapid‑fire punches. IYO fires back with punches of her own, but Sane answers with more shots and a sharp kick. Sane whips IYO into the corner and connects with a flying shoulder. She heads up top and crashes down with a forearm off the turnbuckles for a near fall.
Sane follows with an axe kick, then a kick to the midsection before snapping IYO over into a sleeper hold. She adds another kick, but when she goes for a headscissors, IYO counters with a hip toss. Sane pops right back up, demanding more.
IYO handsprings out of Sane’s next attempt, then lands on her feet off a backdrop. She sweeps Sane’s legs and drills her with a dropkick that sends Sane spilling to the floor. IYO sets up for an Asai moonsault, but Sane cuts her off and yanks her down onto the apron.
IYO blasts Sane with a thrust kick, then climbs onto the ringside barrier and launches into a moonsault. She sends Sane back into the ring, but Sane immediately rolls back to the floor. Asuka and IYO end up in a tug‑of‑war over Sane, and Asuka shoves Sane forward, sending her crashing into IYO. Sane capitalizes and drives IYO into the ring steps.
Back inside, Sane hammers IYO with forearms to the back and covers for a near fall. She follows with a slam and an elbow drop, again scoring a close count. Sane transitions into a single‑leg crab, but IYO reaches the ropes to force the break. With the referee occupied, Asuka sneaks in a punch to IYO, allowing Sane to get another near fall.
IYO counters with a sunset flip for her own near fall. Sane charges and runs into a boot. IYO fires off a backfist and a shotei. Sane whips her to the corner, but IYO slips to the apron and kicks Sane away. IYO climbs and hits a missile dropkick clean.
IYO lines up the running double knees in the corner and connects flush. She heads up top, but Sane knocks her off the turnbuckles. They trade forearms as Sane steps onto the apron. IYO climbs again and pulls Sane up for a superplex, but Sane headbutts her and leaves IYO tangled in the ropes. IYO throws a punch to stop Sane’s follow‑up — but with the referee turned toward Sane, Asuka grabs IYO and slams her head into the ring post.
Rhea Ripley’s music hits. She storms down and headbutts Asuka, then sets for the Riptide — until Jade Cargill blindsides Rhea from behind.
IYO launches herself through the ropes with a suicide dive onto Jade. Asuka shouts something at IYO, distracting her. IYO kicks Asuka from the apron and climbs again, but Asuka yanks her down and drops her across the turnbuckles. Sane dives in and rolls IYO up, holding her down for the three‑count.
Winner: Kairi Sane

Contract Signing — Part 2: Oba Femi, Paul Levesque, Adam Pearce, Paul Heyman
Paul Levesque and Adam Pearce make their way to the ring for Part 2 of the contract signing. Pearce says it’s time for the second signature to make the match official.
Oba Femi signs the contract without hesitation and hands it back to Pearce.
Triple H gestures up the aisle, directing Oba’s attention to Paul Heyman standing safely at a distance. Oba is handed a microphone.
Heyman begins speaking from the stage. He says he has never seen anyone rise to stardom as fast as Oba Femi. He knows exactly where he is safe and where he is not — and because Oba is a violent man, Heyman will be staying right where he is. He calls Oba the most violent person to enter WWE since… Brock Lesnar. The fastest rising star since… Brock Lesnar. The most impressive athlete, fighter, or combat competitor since… Brock Lesnar.
But on Sunday, Heyman says, it all comes to an end. It all comes crashing down in Suplex City. It comes crashing down with an F5 when Oba Femi is conquered by Brock Lesnar. Heyman tells him there is no shame in that loss. After all, he is in the real main event of WrestleMania.
Heyman closes by promising that when Oba needs to rebuild his career after being conquered, his door will always be open.
Oba lifts the microphone and says it is taking everything in him not to walk up that aisle and beat Paul Heyman from pillar to post. The physical scars would heal — they always do. If he beat Paul down right now, those wounds would fade. But the emotional scars Brock Lesnar will carry after WrestleMania? Those will last forever.
Oba says the only door he needs is already open — the door to WrestleMania. Brock and Heyman issued an open challenge to anyone who dared to step up. So why should Heyman worry now? Because Brock Lesnar’s aura of invincibility is cracking. Oba says he has four weeks to show the world that Brock can be beaten.
He says it has never been personal before. But this time, the business is different. Everyone can feel it. It’s time to put an end to the Beast — and Heyman has been standing beside him the entire time. Oba calls Heyman a good mouthpiece, but never an honest one. If Heyman were honest, he would admit that his client is scared of Oba Femi.
Oba says he will win at WrestleMania. He will slay the Beast. He is the one — and he has always been the one.
Oba says he knows it. They know it. And at WrestleMania… Paul Heyman will know it too.
– We see the full video of Liv Morgan’s “Trouble”.
The show heads to a break. More WWE RAW results from April 13, 2026 are coming up next.
Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee vs. Rusev & JD McDonagh
JD McDonagh jumps Dragon Lee before the bell even settles, then knocks Je’Von Evans off the apron. JD unloads with kicks on Lee and follows with a short‑arm clothesline. He snaps Lee over with a suplex, floats into a cover, and gets a near fall. JD drives Lee into the turnbuckles and tags in Rusev.
Rusev storms in with a series of suplexes and an elbow drop. He drills Lee with a kick to the back. JD tags back in, and Rusev holds Lee open for a punch. JD plants Lee with a belly‑to‑back suplex. Rusev tags in again and boots Lee in the ribs. Lee fires back with punches, but Rusev cuts him off with a knee. Rusev tries for a powerbomb, but Lee blocks it and counters into a rana.
Evans tags in and leaps over Rusev, blasting JD with punches. Evans hits a flying boot, then launches himself through the ropes with a suicide dive onto JD. Evans returns to the apron and peppers Rusev with punches and kicks before springboarding into a clothesline.
Evans flips to avoid JD’s charge, then drops down to send Rusev spilling to the floor. Evans kicks Rusev again, but Rusev answers with heavy punches. JD yanks Dragon Lee off the apron and slams him into the edge of the ring. JD then takes flight with an Asai moonsault, crashing down onto Lee on the floor.
Evans kicks JD on the floor, then launches himself for a crossbody — but Rusev catches him in mid‑air and hurls him with a fallaway slam over the announce table. Rusev hot‑shots Evans across the table edge, then rolls into the ring to break the referee’s count.
JD tags in and tries to suplex Evans back into the ring — and muscles him over. JD follows with a drop toe hold and a leg drop for a near fall. He clamps on a reverse chinlock, grinding Evans down. JD whips Evans hard into the corner and tags Rusev, who stomps and punches away. Rusev lifts Evans onto the turnbuckles, but Evans fights back, trying to climb down. Rusev sets for a superplex, but Evans headbutts him to the mat and leaps with a frog splash — too far to capitalize immediately due to the impact.
Dragon Lee tags in and immediately hits the over‑the‑top‑rope rana to the floor on JD. Back inside, Lee snaps JD over with a Dragon suplex and follows with a jumping kick.
JD recovers long enough to hit a Spanish Fly for a near fall. Evans rebounds with a roundhouse kick to Rusev, then launches with a plancha over a moving JD and onto Rusev on the floor. Lee rolls JD up with a sunset flip, but transitions mid‑motion into a Styles Clash, holding JD down for the three‑count.
Winners: Dragon Lee & Je’Von Evans
Rusev snaps. He grabs Lee and throws him with a fallaway slam, then plants him with a uranage. He sets for the Accolade, but Rey Mysterio’s music hits. Rey sprints to the ring and sends Rusev into the ropes — but Rusev counters the 619 with a brutal clothesline.
Penta’s music hits next. Penta storms in and kicks Rusev, then lights him up with chops. He springboards into a thrust kick, staggering the big man. Evans leaps off the turnbuckles, but Rusev catches him and slams him with another uranage. Rusev then thrust‑kicks JD, Rey, and Penta in succession. He nails Lee with one more kick, stomps on his back, and locks in the Accolade, leaning all the way back as officials rush toward the ring.
The carnage leaves bodies everywhere as Rusev stands tall, unhinged and unstoppable.
Backstage — Danhausen & Adam Pearce
Danhausen appears in Adam Pearce’s office, hands folded politely, and says he wishes to speak to John Cena. He hopes — very sincerely — that he can “see John.” Pearce starts to respond, saying he has to call someone back first, but when he turns around…
Danhausen is already gone.
Pearce looks around the empty room, confused and slightly exhausted, realizing he’s been Danhausen’d yet again.
Roman Reigns & CM Punk Confrontation
Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring, taking his time with the full six‑minute championship entrance. He finally steps inside, raises the microphone, and demands that Sacramento acknowledge him.
Before he can continue, CM Punk’s music hits. The crowd erupts as Punk appears in the stands, weaving his way through the audience.
Punk stands in the ring and says after watching that smear campaign in the cold open, he’s here to tell the truth. Sacramento can be the jury and the executioner — they can tell him when he’s lying.
Roman warns Punk that if he steps into the ring with him, they won’t need microphones.
Punk says the truth is simple: he hates Roman Reigns. He hates him because he envies him. Everything Roman has is everything Punk ever wanted — the only dream he carried in his heart since he was a kid. He envies that it was handed to Roman. He hates that Roman held the title for 1,316 days, because after some self‑reflection, Punk knows how hard Roman worked for it. When history talks about legacy, they won’t ask how, they’ll ask how many. Punk hates how many times Roman has main‑evented WrestleMania. He asks Roman if he’s lying.
Punk says he hates that he feels this way. He says Sika was a great man, a great wrestler, a champion, a Hall of Famer. Punk respects the old timers. He hates that he invoked Roman’s father’s name in vain — and he apologizes.
Punk steps into the ring and gets face‑to‑face with Roman.
He says he hates that there’s more than one royal family in wrestling. He hates that he wasn’t born into a dynasty. He doesn’t know what it’s like to have that kind of family. He was born in the backyards and alleys of Chicago. He found his family in the streets of Sacramento. He found them in the locker rooms of VFW halls, bowling alleys, abandoned churches. He found his family on the indies. He went to Japan, England, Puerto Rico. He wasn’t born on third base — he clawed his way home and made pro wrestling his home.
Punk says he hates that he feels this way, and he hates that he has to share anything with Roman — especially his first singles WrestleMania main event. On Sunday, he’ll have gold on his shoes, gold around his waist, and late that night, when the dry air gets cold and steam rises off his blood‑caked face, he’ll have gold above his head as he’s announced the champion.
Roman says that’s probably the truest thing Punk has ever said… until the end.
Roman says he hates Punk too — and has hated him for a long time. The main reason is Punk’s relationship with the fans. Roman hopes that when he leaves, they miss him as much as they missed Punk. He hopes they chant for him for ten years. Punk has that connection, and no one can take it from him.
But the reality is that time is up. Punk was given two months to hold onto this relevancy. On Sunday, it won’t be “and still.” It’ll be “and new.” The nostalgia act ends. Roman says they fix the mess Punk started. They make the top of the mountain worth every dollar. Roman goes back on top — and the world will acknowledge him.
The show fades to black as the two stare each other down.

WWE RAW Preview – April 13, 2026
Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar are both set to appear tonight following last Monday’s chaotic contract‑signing that never actually happened. What was supposed to be a formal agreement for their Night Two WrestleMania 42 match quickly dissolved into an all‑out brawl, forcing Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and Triple H to abandon the proceedings entirely. With tensions already at a breaking point, both men return tonight with the WrestleMania showdown looming.
Just days before he challenges CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Night Two of WrestleMania 42, Roman Reigns will address the WWE Universe — and Punk himself. Punk fired the latest verbal shot last Monday, accusing Reigns of failing to make the same sacrifices he did throughout his career and venting his frustrations about Pat McAfee and WWE’s rising ticket prices. With both men advertised for tonight’s show, another confrontation feels inevitable.
Before they collide at Night One of WrestleMania 42, GUNTHER and Seth Rollins will also appear tonight. Their rivalry escalated sharply on the March 30 Raw when GUNTHER blindsided Rollins with a vicious attack. Rollins later suggested that GUNTHER’s sudden hostility stemmed from Rollins entering a business relationship with Paul Heyman — a claim that sparked another brawl between them last Monday. With their WrestleMania match approaching, neither man is backing down.
