You hear what Oba Femi just dropped on Bronson Reed on Monday night’s Raw? Not only did he prevent a chair shot and then deliver one right back, but WWE actually transcribed his words, and man, Femi did *not* hold back. He told Reed, “Get out of here! You and me. You and men. Mano a mano. You step on my face, f–k you!” Yeah, you read that right. And the craziest part? It looks like WWE is totally leaning into the controversy.
The Oba Femi and Bronson Reed Feud Just Got Real
This whole beef between Oba Femi and Bronson Reed has been simmering, and it just exploded again on Monday night. We saw Femi step in, saving Je’Von Evans from a three-on-one beatdown by The Vision. That’s when things got wild, with Oba and Bronson trading some serious shots. Oba blocked Reed’s chair shot, then turned around and smacked Reed’s back with it, sending him packing from the ring. But it is not just the physicality, right? The real tea is that quote, and it ties directly back to what went down on September 7th.
Back then, The Vision attacked Femi, leaving him prone in the ring. Reed then placed his foot on Oba, only for Oba to swipe it away. WrestleVotes on Fightful Select reported that Femi’s move was totally unscripted, and some backstage folks were apparently not thrilled with him going “into business for himself.” But honestly? Seeing WWE transcribe that explicit quote and run with it, it feels like they are totally leaning into that unscripted chaos now. This feud just got a whole lot more personal and unpredictable, and you gotta wonder how far they will let Oba push it.
UFC Champ Mackenzie Dern Eyes the WWE and The Young Bucks’ Future
Meanwhile, over in the UFC, reigning women’s strawweight champ Mackenzie Dern is making waves outside the Octagon. She is crushing it with a 17-5 record, just defended her title against Gillian Robertson in August, and won the vacant belt last year at UFC 321 against Virna Jandiroba. So, clearly, her MMA career is not slowing down. But she has already got her eyes on what is next, telling Us Weekly she is interested in a WWE future. Think about it: a champ like Dern, still at the top of her game, already dreaming of the squared circle? That is wild. She even name-dropped the Bella Twins as inspiration and wished for an exhibition match with Ronda Rousey before her MMA run ends. Rousey, of course, made that leap from UFC megastar to multi-time WWE women’s champion. If Dern follows in those footsteps, it would be another huge crossover moment for pro wrestling. She might be the reigning strawweight queen now, but the WWE Universe could be her next kingdom.
And just a quick hit from the AEW side of things: The Young Bucks, who have been front and center for AEW since day one, might be hitting free agency sooner than you think. Karl Anderson chatted about their contract situation on his Talk’n Shop podcast this week. If those guys really become free agents, it is gonna send shockwaves through the entire pro wrestling world. AEW could look seriously different without them.
So, whether it is Oba Femi making headlines for all the *wrong* reasons that turn into *right* reasons, Mackenzie Dern eyeing a whole new empire, or the Young Bucks potentially shaking up AEW, it is never a dull moment in the wrestling world. Grab your popcorn, because it feels like things are just getting started.
