Rated T for Teen. My career has been a fight. A long, brutal, but necessary fight. I was told no more times than I can count. And every single time, I proved them wrong. WWE 2K26, available now. The shoe is on the other foot as it looks like now Roman Reigns is in CM Punk's head. Obafemi answers Brock Lesnar's challenge. And we have another WrestleMania match. Bayley is on today's show. Randy Orton has something up his sleeve and so much more. This is Raw Recap on WWE Now, a WWE and Fanatics original production.
I don't even know where to begin. Megan Morant, we're on that road to WrestleMania. Can you feel it now? It happens every WrestleMania. People go, oh, it doesn't feel like WrestleMania. It doesn't feel like WrestleMania. Because it's not WrestleMania. And then all of a sudden, we find ourselves on this road to WrestleMania and the feelings... They hit us all like a sledgehammer to the back of the head. People start saying that in January. It doesn't feel like the road to WrestleMania. Well, guess what? WrestleMania is in April. And on this 316 day, I'm feeling ready. Happy 316 indeed. And what a night. We're going to talk about... Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, one of my favorite opening segments of a Monday Night Raw in recent memory.
But before we get to how we begin, we should get to how we end it. I like that. Now, Roman Reigns showed up to Monday Night Raw tonight in... uncharacteristically timely fashion. Yeah. Now, the show had already started, but it was still within the first hour of the show being on the air. When the car pulled up and our tribal chief got out of the car, I said to you, it's early. It's early for Roman. Usually, it's like out of the car...
What shocking statement did Oba Femi make about Brock Lesnar?
To the ring. Yes. He doesn't get paid by the hour, okay? He's there for business, but I think he had business to attend to, you know, starting by walking out of his car and approaching the Usos. And there's that, oh, that tension we became so familiar with when we were in full bloodline mode, right? where you weren't sure if Roman was happy, if Roman was angry, if Roman was satisfied, if he was dissatisfied, And he smiled at the Usos. He said they did what they needed to do. There was that brief pause. Oh, 100%. Where we all said, oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. He said they did the right thing. But then he looked right at the camera. And he said, you know what? I'm going to speak to all of my family out there. Because the bloodline doesn't only travel within WWE locker rooms.
It travels across. I mean, it goes wide and far. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And Roman Reigns was saying in no uncertain terms that when CM Punk disrespected Roman Reigns, disrespected his father, the late great Sikh of the wild Samoan, he disrespected the entire bloodline family, the entire Samoan dynasty. And Roman Reigns, in the most Roman Reigns way possible, said you all need to do whatever you need to do before... And after, WrestleMania. But that weekend, CM Punk is on mine. I mean, and he said, look, I didn't ask anybody to do anything. I simply gave permission. I think that's a key distinction, though. It is. Because it's one of the things that people have been critical of Roman Reigns. He can't do the job by himself.
Which is a ridiculous criticism. Because if it were that easy that anybody could do that job, then somebody else would have been able to do what Roman Reigns has done. If all it took was having a couple friends, if all it took was bringing some cousins to ringside, Roman's not the only wrestler who has cousins. He's the only wrestler who's done what Roman Reigns has done. I think Roman putting it out there, I think it does put it out there for Punk that you cross a line with the intention of getting to a match at WrestleMania, but realistically, you have to be accountable to everybody that you crossed. And then we see Roman Reigns a little bit later on Monday Night Raw, and he's in that dressing room, and he's kind of explaining
His own way of looking at things. His own way of looking at his career and his legacy. Yeah, and he was talking about, you know, how people often call out, you know, you work a part-time schedule.
