Mysterio wanted no part of Femi at the bell and bailed early, though he landed a cheap baseball slide before Femi tossed him over the commentary table. JD McDonagh tried a cheap shot at ringside, but Femi caught him and forced him away. The Iron Ace attempted to interfere, only for Femi to rock him off the apron. Mysterio went for the timekeeper's hammer again, but Femi put both him and his Judgment Day teammate down, then delivered running uppercuts to both before finishing with Fall From Grace for the win.
Femi will face the winner of the other semifinal between Je'Von Evans and Jey Uso. Mysterio, seven months removed from beating John Cena at Survivor Series, took another loss on a night built around Femi's path to the crown.
One...one match away, and then The Ruler will have his crown.
Femi admitted he now questions if Brock Lesnar is a man at all, calling himself the mountain Lesnar cannot conquer and the beast slayer.
When it is all said and done, I will be king, and you will just be the man who ran from Oba Femi.
Bloodline backstage segment
Backstage, Roman Reigns asked Jacob Fatu if he had taken care of LA Knight. The Samoan Werewolf verified that he had, though The Usos were not happy about it. Reigns claimed that no one knows Fatu as he does, then asked Fatu for one last favor and leaned in to whisper it in his ear. Jey Uso looked clearly uneasy about Fatu potentially usurping him as Reigns' No. 2.
Evans vs. Theory interrupted
Je'Von Evans and Austin Theory were in progress when Raw returned from a commercial break, with Evans flying around the ring before Theory slowed the pace and worked him over. Fans sang Joe Hendry's "Fire Logan Paul" song at ringside while Paul distracted, allowing Theory to jump Evans from behind. Evans sent the tag champion into the ring post, sprinted around ringside, and wiped Theory out in the timekeeper's position.
Back in the ring, Evans set Theory up for the OG Cutter, but Bron Breakker came from out of nowhere and obliterated him with a spear in midair. Before The Vision could beat down Evans, The Street Profits returned. Angelo Dawkins joined Montez Ford in battling the heels, clearing them from the ring and standing tall.
