WWE: Oba Femi, Chad Gable ascending | Cody Rhodes, GUNTHER repeating | LA Knight shines

The Silver King delivers a blistering solo breakdown of WWE's most pivotal week, declaring SmackDown and Raw as two of the best editions of 2026 despite frustrating interference finishes. At the heart of the episode is Oba Femi’s meteoric rise—his electrifying entrance, calling out Brock Lesnar, and declaring himself the new face of the brand, all while setting up a dream King of the Ring final against Dominic Mysterio. The segment is hailed as a 10/10, with Femi’s arrival feeling like a generational shift. Meanwhile, Chad Gable’s return is lauded as a masterclass in redemption: his apology tour to Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, his emotional return with American Alpha music, and his clean, heroic saves elevate him from a forgotten star to a fan-favorite babyface. The episode also praises L.A. Knight’s fiery promo, where he dismantles the Bloodline’s power structure with effortless cool, and the shocking turn of Julia into a face after years as a heel. However, the review is scathing on the Royce Keys/MFT storyline, calling it 'dog shit' for its nonsensical booking and degradation of a promising talent. The segment on Rhea Ripley’s knee injury and Charlotte Flair’s alliance with her is seen as formulaic, while the Intercontinental Championship match between Sol Ruka and Lyra Valkyria is praised for its work but criticized for its rushed pacing and lack of depth.
