Oba Femi opened the broadcast ahead of his 2026 King of the Ring Tournament final at WWE Night of Champions this Saturday. He told the London crowd he is on a path toward SummerSlam and a title shot against either the Undisputed WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship.

Destiny will take me to new heights this weekend when I become the new King of the Ring and will be able to challenge the champion of my choosing at WWE SummerSlam, but there's only two options: the Undisputed WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship.

Jey Uso interrupted and said he intends to win the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Femi told Jey not to miss when he shoots and said he is not the family member he is worried about, telling Jey to put Roman Reigns on notice.

Backstage, LA Knight confronted Raw General Manager Adam Pearce about The Bloodline. Jimmy Uso confronted Knight over hitting him with a chair, which Knight called collateral damage. Pearce made Knight vs Jimmy Uso official for tonight's show.

Paige and Brie Bella retained the Women's Tag Team Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Chad Gable was also expected to appear with a message shared via video on his X page, and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, IYO SKY, Jey Uso, and Oba Femi were all scheduled for appearances ahead of the Queen of the Ring and King of the Ring Tournament finals at Night of Champions.
