Trust issues, loyalty tests bubble up on ‘Monday Night Raw’ for Seth Rollins, Roxanne Perez
Trust and loyalty were two of the biggest themes on “Monday Night Raw.”
Nobody on the WWE Raw roster has any trust in Seth Rollins, while Liv Morgan questioned the loyalty of Roxanne Perez after her impromptu meeting with Finn Balor last week.
First, let’s get to Rollins.
“The Visionary” broke the trust of many when he aligned himself with Paul Heyman to topple Roman Reigns and CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 1 last year. He picked up the World Heavyweight Championship and brought in Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to his group, The Vision, which later disintegrated under his watch. Breakker and Reed turned on him as he watched Austin Theory and Logan Paul join the faction before WrestleMania 42 rolled around.
After Rollins lost to Gunther at WrestleMania 42, he’s turned his sights back on Breakker. And even though Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins (the Street Profits) appeared to have his back, they’ve made it clear they have no trust in him. The trust issues became apparent again after Breakker brutalized Rollins at the start of the show and then took care of Ford and Dawkins later in the night.
Ford and Dawkins jumped Theory and Paul as Theory was taking on Joe Hendry in a singles match. Breakker handled Ford and Dawkins with relative ease. Rollins came out to save the Street Profits. But as Ford cleared out Theory and Paul on the outside, Rollins was distracted for a split second. It allowed Breakker to hit another spear on Rollins.
“Tez, thank you for getting me that second spear out there, pal,” Rollins told Ford in the back.
“Well, Seth, thanks to your past antics with The Vision, nobody, nobody, trusts you,” Ford fired back.
“Nobody trusts me. You don’t trust me. I don’t even know you (pointing to Hendry), you probably don’t trust me,” Rollins responded. “Guess what? I don’t even trust myself. Who cares? We’re in the same fight. You’re fighting The Vision, I’m fighting the Vision. Sometimes, those fights are gonna come together. Here’s the deal, you stay out of my way, I’ll stay out of your way.”
Rollins walked off getting the last word. He will face Bron Breakker at Backlash on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Morgan put Perez to the test. She wanted to make clear that “The Prodigy” wasn’t going to side with Balor and fracture the group even further.
“What the hell was Finn doing in the clubhouse last week? You see, I’m not worried about Finn, Roxanne, because JD is going to take care of Finn tonight, “Morgan said to Perez. “I’m worried about you. Why did Finn think it was OK to talk to you and why didn’t you tell me and why do I need to watch Netflix to figure out what’s going on in the Judgment Day?”
Perez said she didn’t say anything because she “made it very clear” to Balor to remove himself from the clubhouse and don’t comeback.

“You’re right though, I should have said something. But Liv, you know I’m loyal to the Judgment Day,” Perez responded.
Morgan made Perez promise that she wouldn’t keep “anymore secrets from the family.” Perez agreed and repeated what Morgan told her.
Perez later helped Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio distract Balor in his match against McDonagh. It seemed Perez made clear where her loyalties lie.
Later, Morgan said that Rodriguez and Perez were going after tag team champions Brie Bella and Paige next.
Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu contract signing
Roman Reigns was hot coming into “Monday Night Raw” after receiving a Tongan death grip from Jacob Fatu to end the show last week.
He didn’t want to hear anything that Raw general manager Adam Pearce had to say. But after Pearce told him that Fatu wasn’t in the building yet, Reigns waited his turn to address the “Samoan Werewolf” until later in the night.
The two met in the ring to sign the contract for their World Heavyweight Championship match at Backlash. Reigns made clear to Fatu that he was always watching him from a distance as Fatu grinded his way to get to WWE and became a main-event player.
“I was the one in this company holding the door open for Solo (Sikoa),” he said after Fatu mentioned that it was Sikoa who got him into WWE in the first place. “Solo was the one who brought you in, huh? Well, guess what, I brought Solo in and therefore, I brought you in. And I will be damned if there was not respect to be had in this business from me.”
ROMAN REIGNS, CM PUNK PUT ON PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING MASTERCLASS AT WRESTLEMANIA 42
Reigns questioned Fatu’s use of the Tongan death grip he said Fatu used as a “desperate” measure.
“You don’t do that to family,” Reigns explained. “You don’t do that to your own. You don’t do that to your ‘Tribal Chief.”
Fatu stared down Reigns before he responded.
“Yes, I am desperate. Yes, it feels like it’s just me against the world. Yes, my back is against the wall. So, I had no other choice but to take you out, take this title and everything that comes with it,” Fatu explained. “And to keep it 100, then I’m going to put a chokehold on this game and I’m gonna squeeze out every dollar and every cent just the way this company has been doing our family for decades.”
Fatu said he has no intention of going back to where he came from and was as “desperate” as ever to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Reigns responded that he wasn’t concerned about just Fatu’s “seven kids,” but the generations of their family that came before them and the ones that are up next.
When Reigns said that Fatu was “beneath” him, Fatu got up and tried to put the Tongan death grip on Reigns again. Reigns threw a desk chair at Fatu. As Fatu tried to go for the death grip again, Reigns broke out of it. Fatu ended up getting the advantage in the end, finally sinching the Tongan death grip on Reigns.
Fatu signed the contract and the match was made “official.”

Sol Ruca steps up to “The Man”
There were a few moments of celebration on “Monday Night Raw” as newcomer Sol Ruca “officially” signed her contract with the Raw brand.
Pearce said he missed the days when he was at NXT and a “blue-chip” prospect was able to sign a contract with one of the main brands. He said “today was one of those days” as he introduced Ruca to the Omaha, Nebraska, crowd.
Women’s intercontinental champion Becky Lynch interrupted the ordeal. She claimed that Ruca’s time should have been given to her to celebrate her own greatness and was upset that Pearce scheduled Iyo Sky in a match against her last week.
“Becky, not everything is about you,” Ruca declared. “Everyone knows who you are. I know who you are. I know what you’ve done and I know everything that you’ve accomplished. But the thing is, I didn’t expect to find out when I met you that you are exactly what everyone says that you are … a rude, big-headed, b—h.”
Lynch was flabbergasted and asked whether the crowd would let her talk to her like that. The crowd seemingly backed Ruca in the exchange.
“I’m Sol Ruca, and if you ever interrupt me again, not only will I kick your a–, I’ll snatch your soul,” she added.
Lynch went to hit Ruca, put slapped Pearce instead. Ruca hit Lynch with a Sol Snatcher to end the segment. Lynch appears to have a new challenger for her title.

Barack Obama Just Made Insane Announcement About His Marriage
Former President Barack Obama is speaking candidly about personal and political pressures as he takes on a more active public role during the presidency of Donald Trump.
In an interview published May 4 by The New Yorker, Obama said his increased political engagement has created tension in his marriage to former First Lady Michelle Obama.
“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”
Obama largely maintained a low profile during Trump’s first term, following the traditional norm that former presidents avoid directly criticizing their successors. Over time, however, he became more vocal.
Now, during Trump’s second administration, Obama has taken on a more prominent role, emerging as a leading critic and advocate for Democratic priorities.
“People aren’t looking at me in historical comparison to other presidents,” he said. “They don’t care about the fact that no other ex-president was the main surrogate for the party for four election cycles after they left office.”
Obama said he felt compelled to reengage politically due to what he described as Trump’s “recklessness,” citing policy differences including the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement and efforts to alter the Affordable Care Act, a major policy achievement of his presidency.
His return to public life has been more extensive than he initially expected, he said, with increased appearances, messaging, and digital outreach.
Obama has also used social media to mobilize support for key issues, including recent redistricting efforts in Virginia. Posts encouraging voters to back a ballot measure on congressional maps generated significant engagement online.
“Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections,” Obama wrote in a March 5 post.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama has also remained active in public discourse through podcasts and media appearances, where she has voiced criticism of the current administration.
The former president has previously acknowledged strains in his marriage. In 2025, he said he had been “digging myself out of the hole I found myself in with Michelle,” referencing a period of tension that followed her absence from several high-profile events.
Despite those challenges, Obama continues to balance his renewed political engagement with personal life as he navigates a more visible post-presidency.

Sick Senate Democrat Arrested For Threatening President Trump
An Allegheny County man who is running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate has been arrested on allegations that he made threats against President Donald Trump and a member of Congress, according to federal authorities.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Raymond Chandler was taken into custody Friday morning in Pittsburgh with assistance from the United States Secret Service.
Court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania outline the alleged threats. According to an affidavit, Chandler left a voicemail on April 18 for an unidentified member of Congress that included violent language about harm to the lawmaker and their family.
Prosecutors say Chandler followed up on April 29 with another voicemail, in which he allegedly urged the recipient to assassinate the president. The filing also states that his messages included harsh personal criticisms of Trump.
Authorities say congressional staff ultimately contacted law enforcement as the messages escalated in tone and frequency, with threats also referencing members of Congress and immigration authorities.
Just hours before his arrest, Chandler reportedly posted a campaign video announcing his intention to challenge John Fetterman in the 2028 election. His campaign platform includes progressive policy positions such as higher taxes on billionaires, expanded social programs, regulation of major technology companies, and abolishing ICE.
Separately, federal prosecutors have brought charges against Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, in connection with an alleged attempted attack at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Allen faces charges including attempted assassination of the president, use of a firearm during a crime of violence, and transporting a firearm across state lines.
“He attempted to assassinate the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine told the court. “We are asking the court to preventatively detain Mr. Allen.”
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said during a press conference that additional charges could be filed as the investigation continues.
“But make no mistake, this was an attempted assassination of the President of the United States, with the defendant making clear what his intent was,” Pirro said. “And that intent was to bring down as many of the high ranking Cabinet officials as he could. This is the kind of situation that we cannot tolerate.”
The cases remain under investigation, and authorities have not indicated any connection between the two incidents.
