Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 26, 2026

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring to start tonight's show. He announces that he was informed earlier this afternoon that while Stephanie Vaquer is not medically cleared to compete, Becky Lynch is still here, and she will face Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship tonight. As Pearce is about to make other announcements, Sami Zayn suddenly shows up, telling him that if he wanted promotional content for Crown Jewel, he could have gotten Roman Reigns to also show up. He says that while Roman is able to get to skip Fresno, California, he cannot, and if Pearce will not give him television time, he will take it right now. He tells Pearce to get out of the ring, which Pearce does. Sami says that even if one is a world champion, one can still be the most underrated wrestler in the company, and that he is disappointed that the fans do not "know ball" and do not know someone great when they see them. He says the fans have to be spoonfed and told who is great, and that wrestlers like Trick Williams and Roman Reigns have to tell the fans that they are great, and that the fans lap it up. Sami says he does not like to brag, but maybe he should, even though there is not a lot he likes to brag about other than the fact that no one has had to do more with less and go through crap to come out clean on the other side than him. He also says that no one has been buried deep in the dirt and come out of it on the other side like him, and while he could brag about it, he does not. He also says The Bloodline has never been as good as when he came around and took the business to new heights when he did. Sami says that everyone is watching on Netflix because of him and that the executives should be thanking him instead of Reigns, and while he could brag about that, he does not. Sami also says that nobody is versatile and able to put the pieces together like him, and that everyone should be acknowledging him. He says that if Reigns is focused on 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, Carmelo Hayes, Jaida Parker), he will make a mistake, even though Reigns knows the threat that he poses. He also mentions that he deals with the disrespect that he receives from so many wrestlers, and as he mentions the disrespect he perceives from Je'Von Evans, Je'Von suddenly shows up. Je'Von tells Sami to "please shut up" after he complains about people gunning for him every week, and since he has his gear on and he has heard his name, he wants Sami to say what he has to say about him to his face. Sami says there is no world in which Je'Von should ever be interrupting him, not now or ever, but Je'Von says Sami is "talking crazy" and thinks that he is the man, then tells Sami to stop talking before he gives him something to talk about. He then says Reigns is right in saying Sami Zayn does not have to Crown Jewel with the WWE Championship, as he would love to take it and face Roman Reigns. Sami says he is disappointed him despite being a fan of his and reminding him of himself. Sami says Je'Von is nowhere close to his orbit and to come back in five to eight years when he has hit that potential and is anywhere near as good as he is, and until he does, he does not have the right to look him in the eye. As Sami Zayn leaves, General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and says he will give Sami all the television time and the chance to earn respect, by putting him in a match with Je'Von for the Undisputed WWE Championship that happens right now.

Sami Zayn retains the Undisputed WWE Championship against Je'Von Evans. During the match, Penta arrives as Sami takes a breather outside of the ring. Sami runs back into the ring and into a cutter by Je'Von, but as Penta is about to get in the ring, he is attacked by Bron Breakker. Je'Von takes Breakker out with a pescado, then gets back in the ring only for Sami Zayn to hit the Exploder Suplex followed by the Helluva Kick to win and retain. After the match, Bron Breakker gets in the ring and confronts Sami Zayn, who leaves the ring and allows Breakker to attack Je'Von. Penta gets in the ring and beats up Breakker, but he is ambushed by "Big" Bronson Reed. Logan Paul shows up and Breakker hits Penta with a Spear. Breakker then gets Penta in position for a Tsunami before hitting Penta with another Spear and allowing Bronson to hit Penta with another Tsunami.

Next week's Raw from Brooklyn, New York will have a special start time of 6 PM Eastern/3 PM Pacific.

Backstage, Liv Morgan meets with the rest of The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio), saying her title is suddenly on the line. Raquel says she will deal with Iyo Sky, and Roxanne says they will show everyone not to mess with The Judgment Day. Liv says there is something in the air and that everyone is against her, but she will beat Becky Lynch.

Backstage, Penta and Je'Von Evans are in medical. They will be okay, but Je'Von says he is not finished and Penta says that he and Je'Von want The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) for the World Tag Team Championships. General Manager Adam Pearce gives them the match for Crown Jewel.

Kelani Jordan is seen in the front row.

We hear from Iyo Sky, who says Raquel Rodriguez talks like she runs Raw and can do whatever she wants because she is in The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio). Last time they were in the ring, she pinned her, but Raquel does not get the message. She says she will remind her tonight of who she is when she beats her again and show her what happens when she disrespects her.

We hear from 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, Carmelo Hayes, Jaida Parker). Royce Keys says that The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu) was back together until he ran the play, and that next week, it will just be him and Solo Sikoa and that he will do to him what he did to The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso).

Iyo Sky beats Raquel Rodriguez after countering the Tejana Bomb with a roll-up. After the match, Iyo Sky is attacked from behind by Roxanne Perez, and she and Raquel soon beat Iyo up.

Backstage, we hear from The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa). Solo Sikoa says that if Royce Keys wants to call him out in front of his family, then he accepts his challenge. He says that Royce Keys is not safe from him, and that he will know that The Bloodline not only runs this place, but they mean it, and that nobody is safe from them.

Shiloh Hill is seen in the front row.

"All Ego" Ethan Page and Big Cass beat Dragon Lee and Chad Gable.

We hear from Becky Lynch, who says that Stephanie Vaquer is not here and that she is taking the Women's World Championship back from Becky Lynch. She says Liv cannot beat her in a fair fight, then says she had hopes and expectations for her to improve the business instead of stunt its growth. She says that when it comes to flashes in the pan, she is a flame, and that she is taking the Women's World title back.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul). Logan Paul says that Je'Von Evans and Penta challenging them is the dumbest thing they can even do and that Penta is dumber than he looks. "Big" Bronson Reed says Je'Von and Penta have invited themselves to "Tsunami after Spear." Bron Breakker accepts their challenge.

Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship ends in a no-contest when Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez get physically involved in the match after initially showing up to save Liv Morgan from the Dis-Arm-Her. Liv Morgan retains the Women's World Championship. After the match, Raquel hits Becky with the Tejana Bomb, then Chelea Green runs into the ring and makes quick work of Roxanne before outsmarting Raquel only to fall victim to a Liv Morgan Codebreaker. Iyo Sky shows up and evens the numbers game, and Liv hits the Un-Pretty-Her on Liv Morgan. Roxanne takes out Chelsea, then Tiffany Stratton shows up with a referee to cash in on Liv Morgan. Tiffany hits the Prettiest Moonsault Ever on Liv, then cashes in only for "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to suddenly show up and carry Liv out of the ring to end the show.
