OTM Wrecks 4 WWE Raw Stars, Powerbombing Jimmy Uso Through Announce Desk

Q: Will the highly anticipated brother-versus-brother clash between Penta and Rey Fenix tear their alliance apart?

Probably not immediately, but WWE is clearly using the match to test the bond and create suspense around it. The build so far points more toward competitive tension than a full breakup. Both brothers advanced cleanly in the No. 1 Contender’s Tournament, and WWE’s own post-show messaging emphasized mutual respect, with Penta and Rey Fenix publicly wishing each other luck. That matters because it frames the final as a high-stakes family showdown rather than an outright betrayal angle. At the same time, the match is designed to invite that question. Penta vs. Fenix is not just a tournament final; it puts two long-established partners with overlapping ambitions on opposite sides. Their history as the Lucha Brothers — one of the most decorated tag teams of the past decade across AAA, AEW, ROH, Impact, MLW and PWG — gives WWE a strong emotional base to work from. A close, dramatic match could deepen their story even without breaking them apart. If the alliance does fracture, the likeliest trigger would be what happens after the bell, not the match itself: a disputed finish, outside interference, or one brother refusing to accept the result. WWE often uses those devices when turning respect into rivalry. So the smarter expectation is this: the clash will strain the alliance and could launch a longer singles feud, but the available evidence suggests WWE is presenting it, for now, as brotherly competition rather than the definite end of the Lucha Brothers.

Royce Keys led OTM into Raw’s main event and left LA Knight, Solo Sikoa and both Usos laid out, turning the tag match into a no-contest after a ringside ambush.
Jimmy Uso took the heaviest damage when OTM cleared the desk and double powerbombed him through it, after Jey, Solo and Knight were all blasted with steel steps.
The attack hit just as Knight and Sikoa had teamed against Jimmy and Jey, extending the Bloodline-related chaos that had framed the show from its opening segment.
Elsewhere, Rey Fenix beat Dragon Lee and Penta el Zero M beat La Parka, setting up a brother-vs.-brother final in the Men’s World Championship No. 1 contender tournament.
