WWE Raw results focus on Oba Femi open challenge

[Cass_9]

WWE Raw on May 4 featured Oba Femi's open challenge and the build toward Backlash. The show also leaned into the Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu contract signing, giving the episode a clear main event direction. Oba getting this kind of spotlight could be important for his main roster future.

The Backlash build is stronger than I expected

Are we just going to ignore how smooth that contract signing segment was? Roman walking in looking like a mafia boss while Jacob Fatu stood there twitching like a caffeinated chihuahua was peak television. Give that feud all the belts already.

My couch suffered minor structural damage when Fatu went through that barricade. If the medical bills for these wrestlers were taxed, WWE could fund a small nation. Entertaining as hell though, keep the chaos coming.

Hard disagree on the Backlash build being strong. It feels like they threw three different storylines into a blender and pressed puree. That being said, if Oba Femi powerbombs half the roster through the announce table again, I will forgive the terrible creative direction.
