Jacob Fatu acknowledges Roman Reigns, Bron Breakker spears Paul Heyman and more from ‘Monday Night Raw’
A solemn Jacob Fatu made his way to the ring to kickoff “Monday Night Raw” following his Tribal Combat loss to world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns at Clash in Italy with the crowd in Turin wondering whether he would participate in the “Acknowledgement Ceremony.”
Reigns was surrounded by his Bloodline stablemates, Jey and Jimmy Uso, smiling as he awaited Fatu’s arrival. Reigns beat Fatu twice in one calendar month, thwarting his first major challenger to a championship he won at WrestleMania 42 over CM Punk.

Fatu’s demeanor was much different than in weeks past. He walked cautiously and less confident than he had been. Reigns had proven everything he said he was. He sits at the head of the table. He is the “Tribal Chief.” And it was up to Fatu to “acknowledge” him. Fatu snatched the microphone from Jey Uso’s hand.
“At Tribal Combat, I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew the consequences. I knew the repercussions. Hell, I knew what would happen if I walked out with that title last night,” Fatu said. “And I knew what would happen if I lost. Hell, I’ve been taking Ls my whole life. It ain’t nothing new to me. Taking Ls my whole life brought me right here. Standing right in front of you, right now
“Speaking of a loss, last night in Clash in Italy, in front of the whole world, including my children – my children seen their father be a man, take a loss and keep his word. And last night, I lost to my ‘Tribal Chief.’”
Fatu finally acknowledged Reigns, getting down on one knee to salute the champion. Reigns said that he loved Fatu.
Jimmy Uso said this was a “warning shot” to everyone on the roster. Each member of The Bloodline held up one finger in unison.
WWE unveiled the King and Queen of the Ring Tournament brackets after Clash in Italy was finished and the first match on the men’s side was held on Monday night.
Intercontinental champion Penta, Oba Femi, Solo Sikoa and Carmelo Hayes battled it out in an effort to move to a singles match in the semifinals of the tournament.
Femi was coming off a devastating loss against Brock Lesnar. He and Lesnar went to war at Clash in Italy, and while he was a little banged up, he looked unstoppable against his three opponents in the fatal four-way.
“The Ruler” showed to be unstoppable, taking out everyone involved in the match and Talla Tonga. He hit the Fall from Grace on Sikoa and pinned him for the win.
Femi took the microphone and called out Lesnar after the match was finished. He vowed to win the King of the Ring and go after Lesnar for a third time.
“You took your best shot and I’m still here,” he said.
The women were in action during the night as well. Iyo Sky, Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Lash Legend squared off in a fatal four-way match with a spot in the semifinals waiting for the winner.
Giulia came in as the favorite with the Italian crowd behind her. But she faced an uphill battle against upstart prospects in Perez and Legend and the former champion, Sky. Giulia hit an Arrivederci on Legend, but the pin fall was broken up.
Each wrestler received a chance to showcase their abilities, but for the most part, no one could get an easy pin. Sky took advantage of Legend’s double slam on Perez and Giulia. She moved Legend out of her way, stepped on Giulia and hit the Over the Moonsault to defeat Giulia.

The rivalry between Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker has not slowed down one bit. The two have still been going at it following Breakker’s win over Rollins at Backlash last month. But Breakker and The Vision were down another man going into the main event on “Monday Night Raw.”
Logan Paul tore his triceps and is out of action for the foreseeable future. Bronson Reed has been recovering from his own injury, leaving The Vision down to just Breakker and Austin Theory. Breakker stepped up as a tag team champion in Paul’s place but the turmoil in the stable appeared to affect the outcome of the match.
The Vision couldn’t play the mind games that they are used to in order to score the victory. The match descended into chaos with Theory making his presence felt. He hit Rollins with the title before Montez Ford came to to even the odds in Rollins’ corner. Breakker hit Ford with a spear and then Rollins, but “The Visionary” kicked out of a pin.
Rollins hit Breakker with a Stomp. But Paul Heyman would put Breakker’s foot on the rope to break the pin. Rollins came after Heyman with a crazed look. He took his eyes off Breakker, who came around and tried to hit Rollins with a spear. But Breakker bulldozed the 60-year-old Heyman through the barricade.
Rollins sneakily grabbed the title and put it near his abdomen. As Breakker came back into the ring, his spear went into the belt itself. Rollins then picked up the win.
Rick Adelman, who ranks 10th in NBA history with 1,042 wins, died on Monday. He was 79.
The National Basketball Coaches Association announced his passing. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
Adelman spent 23 seasons as an NBA head coach, leading the Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves. He compiled a 1,042-749 regular-season record and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021.
Before coaching, Adelman played seven seasons as an NBA point guard after being drafted by the San Diego Rockets in 1968.
After taking over the Trail Blazers during the 1988-89 season, Adelman led a Clyde Drexler-led roster to NBA Finals appearances in 1990 and 1992.
In 1998, Adelman became the head coach of the Sacramento Kings. The Kings reached the playoffs in all eight of his seasons in Sacramento and advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2002.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released a statement Monday honoring Adelman’s legacy.
FORMER NUGGETS COACH DOUG MOE DIES AT AFTER CANCER BATTLE, SON SAYS
“Rick Adelman was one of the most respected and accomplished coaches in the history of the NBA,” Silver said.
“Following his NBA playing career, Rick turned to coaching where his leadership, innovation and genuine love for basketball left a lasting impression on generations of players and fellow coaches over his nearly 30-year run. He was a brilliant strategist and teacher of the game, and an even better person. I send my deepest condolences to Rick’s family and many friends throughout the league.”
Adelman is survived by his wife of 56 years, Mary Kay, their six children (including Nuggets coach David Adelman) and 12 grandchildren.

Florida beach toll booth worker killed after driver rams structure before getting stuck in sand, sheriff says
A toll booth attendant at a Florida beach was killed Monday when the driver of a pickup truck rammed into the structure before getting stuck in the sand.
The fatal crash happened around 12:40 p.m. at the Dunlawton Avenue beach access ramp in Daytona Beach Shores, the Volusia Sheriff’s Office said. The employee inside, Tammy Jo Baker, was just a few weeks shy of her 63rd birthday, Sheriff Mike Chitwood said at the scene.
The driver was “probably doing about 40 mph,” the sheriff said. “And it crushes the toll taker’s booth.”
Baker, a longtime employee with Volusia County who recently began working for the beach parking contractor, was pronounced dead at the scene after lifeguards attempted to perform CPR.
“I think she was probably close to being killed on impact,” Chitwood said. “That booth isn’t made of anything, if you look at it. And you hit that thing at 40 miles an hour; there’s really nowhere to go. And it flipped the booth around, the force of that.”
After the vehicle struck Baker, the driver, identified as 35-year-old Deanna Harrell, continued toward the water before authorities said she attempted before attempting to turn around and became stuck in the sand.
Bystanders ran to the truck to pull Harrell out, authorities said. She was being tested for possible impairment while driving, Chitwood noted, adding that there was a “heavy odor of alcohol” coming from the vehicle.
“It’s just senseless,” Chitwood said of Baker’s death.
