A backstage argument on WWE RAW tonight quickly turned into an unexpected match, but it ended up being a nightmare for one member of The Judgment Day. What was meant to settle tensions instead resulted in a one-sided beating at the hands of Oba Femi.
The drama started earlier in the night when The Judgment Day assaulted and threatened Danhausen over a briefcase filled with money. Joe Hendry made a surprise appearance to save Very Nice, Very Evil star, driving off The Judgment Day, who ultimately fled with the money bag.
Later backstage, Danhausen, Hendry, and The Judgment Day members continued arguing in front of WWE RAW General Manager. During the exchange, it was revealed that the briefcase contained fake "human monies." Frustrated, JD McDonagh threw the bag aside, but it accidentally hit Oba Femi, who happened to be walking by. Seizing the moment to restore order and punish McDonagh, Adam Pearce immediately booked the singles match on the spot.
The Ruler entered the ring as an unstoppable force, and JD McDonagh was forced to head to the ring alongside Dominik Mysterio despite his clear hesitation. Femi took control from the opening second on WWE RAW and never allowed his opponent to build any momentum. The powerhouse completely dominated the contest, stopping every attempt McDonagh made to fight back. In fact, The Judgment Day member failed to land any meaningful offense throughout the match.
After tossing McDonagh with a huge back body drop, Femi lifted him onto his shoulders and connected with Fall From Grace to score a quick and clean pinfall victory.
The quick loss proved that the impromptu match booking completely ruined The Judgment Day's strategy for the evening. Dominik Mysterio was also forced into a singles bout against Joe Hendry by Pearce following the backstage argument.
Femi's dominant display put the entire RAW locker room on notice. The Ruler is set to face Brock Lesnar in a Hell in a Cell match at WWE SummerSlam 2026. It will be interesting to see if he dominates his opponent at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
