LA Knight and Seth Rollins again reminded everyone how the Bloodline operates, and Jey Uso proved them right by confronting both men. It’s hard to talk about the World Heavyweight Championship when the guy holding the belt is in the Bloodline.

Chad Gable continued his apology tour while Dominik Mysterio poked the bear that is Oba Femi ahead of next week’s semifinals showdown. With the European tour winding down, WWE made the next four mistakes on RAW from Paris,

#4. So are Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair still not friends?

WWE spent the entire last year and a half pushing Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair as friends, but not friends. They had a run as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and competed in WarGames together.

Jad Cargill beat Bliss a few weeks ago on SmackDown, but The Queen has continued to support Rhea Ripley against The Storm and her minions. When Flair and Mami shared the ring on SmackDown, she didn’t even mention Bliss by name.

She refocused her energy on winning singles gold. Cargill was the one who pointed this out, and only then did Flair decide to get angry. Bliss then competed on RAW in a Queen of the Ring fatal four-way, looking no worse for wear.

Flair even teamed with Tiffany Stratton on the same SmackDown. It feels like WWE went from shoving the partnership down fans’ throats to forgetting that it existed in the span of four days.

#3. The Bad Kind of WWE Surprise in King of the Ring

When the King and Queen of the Ring brackets were revealed following Clash in Italy, a few pairings stood out. Seth Rollins’ first-round matchup was one due to the lack of veterans involved.

He faced Je’Von Evans, Talla Tonga, and Ricky Saints to advance to the semifinals of the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament. Since Rollins is a former multi-time World Champion, he was the odds-on favorite to win the whole tournament.

Despite that and the likelihood of facing LA Knight or Jey Uso in the next round, it was Evans who moved on after the Vision foiled The Architect’s attempts to win. He hit Ricky Saints with a Stomp, but was attacked by Bron Breakker.

Evans then took advantage and hit Saints with his finisher to move on. While he hasn’t captured gold, Evans has enjoyed the spotlight since last December. He was in the Elimination Chamber match and booked on the card for John Cena’s final match.

He also competed for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42. Saints has traded wins and losses and has looked anything but dominant since joining SmackDown.

At the very least, having Saints move on would fit with his slimy heel nature. Instead, he ate another pin and lost more credibility, so Evans could get another chance to shine.

#2. Liv Morgan advances in Queen of the Ring

Two titles were up for grabs on RAW from Paris, but neither was Liv Morgan’s Women’s World Championship. Rather than starting her first feud since winning the title at WrestleMania 42, WWE put her into the Queen of the Ring Tournament.

Of course, she advanced to the next round by defeating Becky Lynch, Bliss, and Chelsea Green. Bliss or Green could have really used the bump associated with advancing.

Since WWE writers have no clue what to do with Morgan as champion, she got an unneeded victory. Her win puts three members of the Judgment Day in the tournament semifinals.

She could have survived the match without being pinned to even set up that first feud over the title. It just shows a lack of foresight in the planning. Fans have also seen Raquel Rodriguez square off with IYO SKY numerous times in the past.

#1. Roman Reigns doesn’t appear, but will do so at Fanatics Fest!

The Champion doesn’t have to compete every week, and when it comes to the current World Heavyweight Champion, he rarely wrestles on RAW or SmackDown.

Despite that, Roman Reigns stuck to his promise to show up more after WrestleMania, but it was only because he won the title.

Until this week, he had appeared on practically every episode of RAW live or in pre-taped fashion. Even though he doesn’t have a clear next feud in the pocket, he still should have shown up on RAW.

He could have wished Jey Uso well in his King of the Ring match. The Tribal Chief could have also addressed the remarks from both Seth Rollins and LA Knight.

The fact that he no-showed and WWE made a big deal about him appearing at some random fanfest next month is disappointing. Champions should appear every week, even if they don’t compete.
