WWE Raw Results April 6, 2026: CM Punk Ignites Rivalry and Lesnar-Femi Brawl
WWE Raw returned to the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on Monday, April 6, 2026, delivering a high-stakes episode centered on the road to WrestleMania 42. The night was defined by a scathing opening promo from World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and a chaotic contract signing that devolved into a massive brawl between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi.
CM Punk Takes Aim at Roman Reigns
The episode opened with CM Punk addressing the Houston crowd and praising the city’s wrestling heritage. Punk quickly shifted focus to Roman Reigns, who was not in the building. Punk revealed that he had secured “payback” during the previous week’s show at Madison Square Garden by putting Reigns through a table, mirroring the treatment he received from Reigns two weeks prior.
Punk did not hold back in his critique of Reigns, labeling him a “store-bought and plastic” star manufactured by corporate interests. He further dismissed Reigns as a “nepo baby” who “ate dog food” for Vince McMahon. Contrasting their experiences, Punk stated that while McMahon treated him like a dog as well, he maintained his dignity and eventually left the company once he had “FU money.”
Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi: Chaos at the Contract Signing
One of the most anticipated segments of the night was the official contract signing for the WrestleMania 42 match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H attempted to mediate the proceedings, but the segment quickly went off the rails.
The tension between the two powerhouses erupted into a huge brawl in front of Triple H. The conflict did not complete when the cameras stopped rolling; WWE later released exclusive footage showing Lesnar and Femi continuing to fight after Raw went off the air.
