WWE Raw After WrestleMania 42: Roman Reigns, Oba Femi, and the Road to Backlash On Monday, April 20, 2026, WWE Raw returned from WrestleMania 42 with major developments shaping the road to Backlash. The show opened with Oba Femi declaring his arrival after defeating Brock Lesnar the night before, proclaiming “Your Ruler has arrived.” Later in the evening, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and The Usos came face-to-face with Jacob Fatu, who stated he “needs” the title, the money, and the life that comes with being Tribal Chief. The episode featured several key moments: Sol Ruca and Ethan Page made their main roster debuts, The Street Profits returned to brawl with The Vision, and Bron Breakker delivered a brutal beatdown on Seth Rollins. In the women’s division, new WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY defeated The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team match. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes confronted CM Punk after Punk lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Rhodes and Punk discussed their respective paths forward, with Punk responding to his title loss before Rhodes arrived. The show concluded with Reigns addressing the crowd alongside The Usos, adopting a more open-handed approach while emphasizing family unity. He acknowledged their collective strength but still took a subtle jab at CM Punk, referencing their ongoing feud. Jimmy Uso spoke for his brother, reaffirming their loyalty before the segment intensified with Jacob Fatu’s interruption. Oba Femi’s post-WrestleMania interview revealed his ambitions to challenge Reigns, stating he believes he can become a main event player by summer and achieve a victory over the Tribal Chief by year’s end. Reigns responded by acknowledging Femi’s accomplishment against Lesnar but emphasized his own experience, saying they would see how Femi performs through the summer before determining if he can step up to the greatest of all time. Reports indicated Reigns might next face GUNTHER, who had recently retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, and defeated Seth Rollins in a knock-down, drag-out match the night before WrestleMania. This potential rivalry was noted by Wrestling Observer Radio prior to Reigns dethroning CM Punk at WrestleMania 42.
