Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 28, 2026

WWE remembers Benjamin Satterley "Neville", 1986 - 2026. (Benjamin Satterly, formerly known as Neville, and known as PAC in the indies and All Elite Wrestling, suddenly passed away the previous afternoon, not even 24 hours after his match at All Out against Andrade el Idolo for the AEW National Championship. It is later revealed that Satterley suddenly passed away in the Chicago, Illinois area earlier that day.)

We see footage of 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) putting a black bag on Solo Sikoa's head and dumping him in the desert, making him walk away from them with the bag on his head, all at the start of the show.

The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Jimmy mentions that they have a problem with 946, who did something that they cannot come back from after they kidnapped Solo Sikoa, who he says is still their little brother and "their blood." Jacob Fatu says he has told his brothers to "lay low and play it slow," their first move is their worst move, and not to attack yet week by week. He says that this is his mistake, and tonight, none of that matters, everything is out of the window, and they dog walk 946. Jey Uso finally fires the warning shot at 946, then The Bloodline see what appears to be 946's gray SUV arrive backstage. The worker who opens the back door of the car gets pounced on by Jacob, and instead of 946, Jaida Parker - who is here to talk to General Manager Adam Pearce - is revealed to be the occupant of the car.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans meets with Penta regarding the Money in the Bank Ladder Match when "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up, with Dominik accusing Penta of taking his spot, stating that he could have won and qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match if it were not for General Manager Adam Pearce's "power trip" and putting him in a "random match," and asking if Penta cares is Solo Sikoa got kidnapped. Je'Von makes fun of the size of McDonagh's head, and McDonagh threatens to knock Je'Von's teeth out. Penta tells Dominik that if he wants another match, he and McDonagh can face him and Je'Von tonight.

Lola Vice beats Roxanne Perez. After the match, Lola is attacked by Raquel Rodriguez, but all of a sudden, Sol Ruca runs to the ring and fights Raquel. Roxanne soon gets involved, and Raquel hits Sol Ruca with the Tejana Bomb. Roxanne and Raquel then double-team Lola Vice, who Roxanne soon hits with Pop Rox.

Singer/rapper/songwriter Ty Dolla $ign is seen in the front row.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio. Dragon Lee says he is feeling great and that he has not forgotten what Big Cass done to them. Rey says that Dragon Lee has put on great matches and is destined for greatness, and as Dragon Lee says that he will bring the fire tonight, Big Cass shows up and says he will stomp Dragon Lee's fire out quickly.

We see a video from 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Royce Keys says that somebody is not making it off the block tonight after The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) finally called the play.

Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba says he is not dressed for combat tonight, although that could easily change, and tonight, he is here for business, as there is a certain way and matter for business to be handled in WWE. He says he has had his own personal issues with The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri) in the last couple of months and while he has done his best to keep them at bay, the temperature changed with the return of "Big" Bronson Reed. He says that Bronson sucks and is "one disrespectful SOB," and if given an inch, Bronson takes a mile. He mentions Bronson being gone for the last seven months, and that Bronson does not understand that he is the captain now. Oba says that Bronson will find out at Money in the Bank, as he has a contract for a match between the two of them, and he cannot wait to put pen to paper. He then demands Bronson head to the ring to sign the contract and make things official. Bronson Reed shows up and heads to the ring, where Oba Femi offers him the contract. Bronson takes the contract, then says Oba has some balls, as he has put Oba down in both of their meetings in the ring despite Oba putting Brock Lesnar down twice. He then says that he is not Brock Lesnar, and that he is not here to compete, but to dethrone "The Ruler." Bronson then signs the contract. Bronson leaves the ring, then Oba says Bronson has some balls sealing his fate tonight. He says that Paul Heyman sent him to stop the one man who cannot be stopped, then wishes Bronson luck, saying he will need it.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Iyo Sky meets with General Manager Adam Pearce when Lyra Valkyria butts in. Iyo Sky questions Lyra's shift in behavior, and when Lyra starts disrespecting Iyo, Pearce puts them both in a one-on-one match tonight.

Dragon Lee beats Big Cass after countering a choke slam with a Sunset Flip into a jackknife pin.

Members of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Milwaukee Brewers are seen in the front row.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Stephanie Vaquer. Vaquer says Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch want her title. She says that she is ready to defend her title, but if they want to face her, they will have to face each other. She then says she has met with General Manager Adam Pearce to make that match official next week, with the winner facing her for the Women's World Championship.

We hear from LA Knight, who talks about his sudden rise in 2022 and how it took three years to get back to where he was, and yet he still finds himself challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship. He says that he is bulletproof and the last of a dying breed, and that this might be his last shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Knight says he has never needed anybody to help him succeed like Roman has, and that he must rise. He says that he will make himself World Heavyweight Championship the way that Roman Reigns made himself a mega-star.

Iyo Sky beats Lyra Valkyria following the distraction from a suddenly appearing Bayley.

Backstage, The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) are ready to attack 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) when LA Knight shows up. LA Knight tells The Bloodline that they created the monster that they are fighting, but Jey Uso says Solo Sikoa would be back in the family if Knight was not in his ear. Knight tells The Bloodline that if they survive, they can tell Roman Reigns that he will be waiting for him with open arms next week. Jacob Fatu has to hold The Usos back, saying that Knight is not the problem tonight.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Rey Fenix. Fenix announces that he will be defending the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship across all brands. Chad Gable shows up and congratulates Fenix on winning at Worlds Collide, then "All Ego" Ethan Page says that Gable is giving another title opportunity away.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Becky Lynch. Becky says it has been two years since she had a shot at the Women's World Championship and two months since she has been in the title picture, then Liv Morgan shows up and says makes the title interesting more than Becky ever has and is more deserving of the title. Becky says that if Liv feels she is so deserving, then Liv should have no problem beating her one-on-one. She then doubts that Liv can even do it.

946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) are seen entering the arena.

946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) makes their way to the ring through the crowd. Security shows up to stop them from jumping over the barricade and tell them to go back, but they are soon attacked by 946. The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) soon show up and slowly approach 946 before the inevitable brawl between them is on. The Bloodline get the upper hand even as General Manager Adam Pearce wants the brawling to stop, but they are soon overpowered as Bronco and Lucien brawl with Jimmy and Jey. A whole line of fans gets wiped out during the brawl, and a random fan yells at Bronco and gets punched by Bronco for it before the crowd brawl makes its way to the tech area. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Royce Keys hits Jacob Fatu with a metal folding chair, but Jacob Fatu fights back with a superkick before getting the upper hand on Keys. Jacob then grabs the chair, wraps it around Keys' head, then goes for the hip attack only for Keys to toss the chair off of himself and roll out of the ring. Jacob grabs the chair, follows Keys and hits Keys with the chai on the way to the back. The brawl is now backstage at the loading dock, and officials try in vain to break it all up. Keys and Fatu brawl at a backstage stairwell leading into an indoor parking area. Keys gets the better of Jacob and gets into his gray SUV, but Jacob catches up and gts the Tongan Death Grip on him. Keys attacks Jacob with the car, then a black car runs Jacob over. Jaida Parker gets out of the black car and says she did not see Jacob at all, then immediately changers her tune, saying "Ain't nobody safe," then gets in the gray SUV with Keys, who mocking says "All gas, no brakes" before driving off to end the show.

Here is this week's Raw Recap!

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 21, 2026

Penta heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Penta says that last Monday night was one of the biggest nights of his life, as he fought for the World Heavyweight Championship in front of his friends and family, his fans, his people, and the world. Penta says that Roman Reigns was the better man that night and that he respects him, then tells him that this is not over, that he wants another fight and that he wants the World Heavyweight Championship. He says that this is only the beginning, then "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up. Dominik says nobody cares about Penta's hopes and dreams, and that the people would rather hear from someone who stood talk in Mexico like them, as they left El Grande Americano, Stephanie Vaquer and Rey Mysterio laying. McDonagh says he does not even know why Penta is talking about the World Heavyweight Championship, as he had his shot and lost, and tells him to go to the back of the line as Dominik wins Money in the Bank and the title before he ever gets a shot again. Dominik then tells Penta to put some respect on his name, for Penta is just a luchador while he is the king of the luchadors. Penta calls Dominik "el rey de los pendejos" and says that Dominik's father is the only king. Dominik and McDonagh jump Penta immediately for this, but Penta fights back as they are about to put him through the announce table. Dominik and McDonagh soon retreat.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) ask Jacob Fatu what they will do about 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Jacob says they have to play it low and play it slow every day, and that the wrong move is to make the first move. Solo Sikoa shows up pretending to wave a white flag and says that 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) will not stop until everyone is finished and that they all have to work together. Jimmy says Solo is only here looking for protection, and Jey wants Solo to acknowledge him and Jimmy as captains and acknowledge Roman Reigns as tribal chief. Solo says that is not going to happen. Jey tells Solo to leave, which Solo does after "Back to the drawing board, then," and Jacob tells The Usos that they just made a big mistake before walking out of the room.

Roxanne Perez beats La Catalina and Iyo Sky in a women's Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifer after Iyo Sky hits Over the Moonsault on La Catalina only for Roxanne to hit Pop Rox on Iyo Sky.

Backstage, LA Knight meets with Solo Sikoa, saying that they need to lay low as he tells Solo not to join The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) or to cash in on him after winning Money in the Bank before they focus on 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Solo says he would never do that before bumping fists with Knight and leaving.

LA Knight heads to the ring. LA Knight says that Roman Reigns and Penta gave their all last week even though Penta came up short, then addresses Money in the Bank, proclaiming that he will become World Heavyweight Champion. Knight says it has been three years of him being the uncrowned champion after everything he has been through, then says that he is "the plans." He says that Reigns wants to be acknowledged, and while he acknowledges Reigns' greatness, the fans have been behind him. He says that the fans want him to have a title shot, but deep down, the fans feel like it will never happen after everything he has been through and after he has not won the big one. Knight also admits he has wondered if anyone can beat Reigns, including himself. It wasn't until The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) failed to run into the ring that he realized that Roman Reigns wants to rewrite his legacy as a fighting champion who can win on his own, and that Reigns has never been man enough to beat him on his own. Knight says that if this is the case, more power to Reigns, as he made his case last week again and he will make it again, as he had never needed anyone's else help to beat anybody and he is the most self-made man in the game.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Je'Von Evans. Je'Von finds out that he is the youngest Money in the Bank Ladder Match competitor at the age of 22, and says that he will be the youngest Money in the Bank winner in history. The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri) shows up, with Logan Paul saying Je'Von is dumber than he looks. Bron Breakker approaches Je'Von and congratulates him on qualifying before declaring that Money in the Bank is his. Je'Von Evans challenges Bron Breakker to his match, then notices that he is outnumbered five to one before slapping Breakker in the face.

Je'Von Evans beats Bron Breakker by disqualification after Austin Theory trips Je'Von off the top before Je'Von can hit the OG Cutter. After the match, Breakker and Theory gang up on Je'Von Evans. All of a sudden, Oba Femi shows up for the first time in weeks and overpowers them both, and when Bronson Reed hits him with a splash, Oba Femi strikes back. Oba stops Logan Paul as soon as he brings a chair into the ring, and Oba swings for the fences before Bronson gets the better of him. Bronson tries to swing the chair at him, but Oba uppercuts him and smashes the chair right into Bronson's back. Oba then lets Je'Von do the honors, and when Je'Von leaps over the top rope, Oba catches him and throws him into The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory).

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry is seen in the front row.

We hear from 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price). Royce Keys tells The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) that they are not firing any more warning shots and that they are crossing the line.

We see footage from earlier today where Joe Hendry performs a live impromptu rendition of "JD McDonagh is a Funko Pop" in the arena.

The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) heads to the ring. JD McDonagh says that everything with Joe Hendry and the Funko Pop is sad, not funny, and that all he sees in the fans are losers with low self-esteem projecting their insecurities at him, and promises that none of it affects him and that he does not care what everyone says. He says that it is affecting his family, that his mother is stressed out over this, and that this must end before stating that he has a normal-sized head. Raquel says that as a fellow Texan, she is embarrassed by the fans' behavior and calls them all "haters," and says that Liv Morgan's music video is much better than Joe Hendry's. Liv Morgan says that they got to embarrass El Grande Americano, Stephanie Vaquer and Rey Mysterio last week, then says that Vaquer cannot hide from her forever and that what happened in Chile was a tragedy. She also calls her loss of the Women's World Championship a conspiracy that both Vaquer and Becky Lynch were in on, then dares Vaquer to defend against her so she can prove she is the best Women's World Champion of all time. Becky Lynch suddenly shows up in the crowd. She says that Liv Morgan must be embarrassed and that McDonagh's mother is stressed that McDonagh - who Becky has known since he was 12 - is hanging out with The Judgment Day. She also tells Liv Morgan that there will be no slander towards "Referee Rebecca" before telling Liv to get to the back of the line, as the first shot at the Women's World Championship is hers. Stephanie Vaquer then shows up and says Liv can talk all she wants, as she is the Women's World Champion, and that she won the title on her own. Liv says Vaquer only won because of Becky, but Vaquer says Liv is mad because she wants her title back. She says that if Liv wants a rematch, she can give her one and prove that her win in Chile was not a fluke. When Becky speaks up, Vaquer gives her a match for the title, saying she is not afraid to defend it, and says that the title is hers.

We hear from Lyra Valkyria, who says she had to take extreme measures to separate herself from Bayley, as Bayley took a year off of her career. She says that when she beat Bayley within an inch of her life, she paid the biggest price. She then says it was worth it to end Bayley, move on and move forward and upwards. She says Money in the Bank was her chance, but Bayley is still costing her opportunities when she claims to fight for all women. Lyra says she did not go far enough last time, and she will make tonight's match Bayley's last match.

Lyra Valkyria beats Bayley after sending an enraged Bayley into the ropes before grabbing the tights with a schoolkid pin for the win.

Backstage, Chad Gable meets with Dragon Lee, saying he got out of their match by the skin of his teeth and that he is down for a rematch. Dragon Lee says that tonight, he is going to qualify for Money in the Bank. "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and says Chad Gable is giving people opportunities left and right and is living in his fantasy land trying to leave some kind of legacy, and that he will be waiting for his opportunity when he decides to come back to reality. Gable tells Ethan he had multiple opportunities and lost in all of them, then tells Ethan to show him something and to stay away from him and his title until he does.

General Manager Adam Pearce is on the stage with a Raw contract as he introduces the newest member of the Raw women's roster: Lola Vice. Lola Vice shows up on the stage and says this means everything to her, as her mother introduced her to fashion and dance while her father made her into an ass-kicker who qualified for Money in the Bank. She says she is here to show the best of both world and prove she is world champion material, and regardless of who qualifies, her fists do not lie and she will knock people out. Roxanee Perez shows up and says nobody cares about Lola's contract signing or her father teaching her how to fight, then says she can teach her a thing or two and prove Lola is levels below her. Lola yells at Roxanne and nearly knocks her out with a spinning back fist.

Backstage, Paul Heyman has been watching Lola Vice when he is approached by Bron Breakker. Heyman says that Oba Femi is still breathing, which is "bad, bad, bad" for The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri). Breakker says that he is still breathing, which is "bad, bad, bad" for everyone.

Before the next match, Solo Sikoa is jumped by 946 (Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price) and thrown in the back of a black van. The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and Jacob Fatu briefly run after the van, then LA Knight shows up and finds out what happened.

In footage from the commercial break, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio tries to get a bye into Money in the Bank out of General Manager Adam Pearce. Adam Pearce has none of it and tells Dominik to go to the ring.

Before the next match begins, General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and announces that Solo Sikoa will not be able to compete tonight, then says there will be a replacement for Solo: Penta.

Penta beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee in a men's Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifier after Dominik tries to send Penta head-first into an exposed top turnbuckle only for Penta to reverse it and hit Dominik with a springboard Mexican Destroyer to win and qualify.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 14, 2026

Rey Mysterio heads to the ring in a neck brace to start tonight's show. General Manager Adam Pearce is also in the ring. Rey proclaims that Raw is in Mexico City, Mexico for the first time in fifteen years, and says that tonight is going to be an historical night. We then see footage from WWE's show in Santiago, Chile where Stephanie Vaquer challenged Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship with Becky Lynch as the special guest referee, and Vaquer winning the title. Rey then introduces Vaquer to the ring. Vaquer shakes hands with Rey and Pearce, then proclaims that she has taken her title back before stating the last few years have been like a dream and that it was a joy win the title back in her home country. She also says that it is an honor to be in Mexico and state in Spanish that she is a world champion before Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio show up on the stage. Liv angrily congratulates Vaquer on being the biggest hypocrite in her entire life and celebrating with the Women's World Championship, stating that Vaquer only won because Becky Lynch screwed her. Liv says that is okay, because with or without the title, she is still the best Women's World Champion of all time. She also says that Rey has hit an all-time low "hanging out with this puta." Dominik says the only thing he sees is a deadbeat and a cheater and that Liv Morgan is what a real champion looks like, but Rey reminds Dominik that he lost the AAA Mega Championship to El Grande Americano. We see footage of El Grande Americano winning the AAA Mega Championship at Night Two of TripleMania, then Dominik challenges Rey and Vaquer to a tag team match, saying Rey was clear enough to screw him out of the title over Pearce's protests. El Grande Americano suddenly shows up and takes Rey's place in the match, then Pearce says that the match is official before calling for a referee.

El Grande Americano and Stephanie Vaquer vs. The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan) ends in a no-contest when JD McDonagh, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez get involved in the match.

Jacob Fatu says they need to stick together.

Chad Gable retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dragon Lee by submission with the ankle lock.

We hear from Bayley, who talks about Lyra Valkyrie made her pass out in a pool of blood and tried to ensure she could not return, and that what bothers her is not Lyra turning on her, but using what she has done against her. Bayley says she chose this path so that women like Lyra could make a difference in WWE, but she has realized that Lyra is like everyone else: selfish. Bayley says that she will get in Lyra's way before Lyra gets in her own way, and says that this is the last time someone uses her feelings against her as she shows why she is the standard of women's wrestling.

Mexican singer-songwriter Oscar Myadon and One Piece actor Inaki Godoy are in the crowd.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 31, 2026

At the start of the show, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) are attacked by Royce Keys and OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) in the parking lot, and Jacob Fatu runs out to the parking lot with a pipe as Royce and OTM speed off. The Usos' faces as well as any blood in the immediate area are mosaiced out as officials check on them, and Jacob Fatu is furious.

Raquel Rodriguez retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Sol Ruca. Jacob Fatu interrupts the match unexpectedly before it begins and calls out Royce Keys and OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price), saying that if they want to start a war, he will bring one to them and he will dog walk all three of them, calling them "motherfuckers" in the process. His microphone is soon cut off. Later on in the match, Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez rush in to get involved, and Sol Ruca fends them off. As Sol Ruca goes for the Sol Snatcher, however, Lyra Valkyria is suddenly on the ring apron. Lyra grabs Sol Ruca by the neck, and that allows Raquel to pluck Sol Ruca out of the corner for a Tejana Bomb to win and retain.

We see a video package for Penta vs. Rey Fenix in the finals of the World Heavyweight Championship #1 contender's tournament later tonight.

Chad Gable heads to the ring. Gable says that he achieved everything that he had looked for when he won the Intercontinental Championship, then realized that he does not feel that way, as the real work begins now and the work is how he is remembered as a champion by the fans. He says he started carving that legacy two weeks ago against Rey Mysterio, and that he would be remiss if he did not mention what the fans in Mexico did for him during his time in AAA, saying that he would not be champion without them. Gable says he did not want to return to Mexico without a way to repay them, and now he does, as Raw is returning to Mexico City, Mexico for the first time in fifteen years and he will be defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship there. Gable says that there are many who are worthy of a shot at the title, then introduces one of those men in Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee shows up and heads to the ring, and Gable says that his recent match was awe-inspiring and that Dragon Lee continues to be one of his favorite talents on the roster. Dragon Lee says that it is an honor to be in the ring with Gable, then Gable says that General Manager Adam Pearce has left it up to him to decide who he defends the Intercontinental Championship against. "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and says that Gable is offering anothre title opportunity to "an undeserving, talentless luchador," and while he understands while Gable feels bad for how he treated everybody, he does not have to go easy on himself and he can pick him for a real challenger. Gable tells Ethan that his name is low on the list of people he wants to defend with below The Honky Tonk Man, but Ethan says The Honky Tonk Man has a legacy and says that Gable should stop being a charity case or else he will be a paper champion. Ethan then interrupts Dragon Lee, who interrupts Ethan back and says that Ethan has a big mouth before challenging him to a match right here and right now. Ethan asks Dragon Lee if he is sure he wants that, but Gable says that is a great idea and decides to raise the stakes by making the winner the one who wrestles him for the Intercontinental Championship in Mexico City. Gable watches the next match from ringside.

Dragon Lee beats "All Ego" Ethan Page to face Chad Gable for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in Mexico City, Mexico in two weeks. During the match, Ethan throws Dragon Lee into Gable, and Chad Gable chases Ethan back into the ring. This distracts the referee, allowing Ethan to remove a top rope turnbuckle cover. Dragon Lee charges at Ethan only for Ethan to send him into that turnbuckle, and when the referee is focused on the match again, he realizes what Ethan has done, thanks to Gable. Dragon Lee then hits Operation Dragon for the win and the title shot.

It is announced that WWE has a three-year agreement with the country of Australia and will be in the country for televised programs in mid-December.

Roman Reigns arrives at the arena and meets with Jacob Fatu, who tells Reigns that it is not looking good for The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) as he mentions what happened. Jacob says that he has not seen this side of Royce Keys since they were younger and that Royce Keys can be a problem, but Reigns tells Jacob that Royce is his problem and that he must handle him while everything else is his problem. Reigns then heads to the ring, and says that being the one true champion, the only champion that matters and the Tribal Chief is a burden, as everyone wants what he has. Reigns says he should be celebrating the tournament to decide a new opponent for his title and that he should be talking about Penta and Rey Fenix and showing respect, for they are earning it, unlike everyone else around here who "pisses and moans" for a shot at the title. This then brings Reigns to Solo Sikoa, saying that Solo will eventually acknowledge him and serve his family and legacy, and that Solo blew that opportunity for LA Knight. He says that Knight reminds Solo of The Rock, but Knight is not family. As Reigns is about to talk further about Knight, Knight shows up on the stage and says that while he should be talking about Royce Keys and OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price), Roman Reigns is recycling material from three years ago. He says that Reigns is doing thing the wrong way, as he has called his name only for Reigns to put family and tournaments he could not enter between them. He also says that "OTC" stands for "One Tremendous Coward" and wants Reigns to admit that he is scared of him, saying that Reigns was not here last week due to nursing his injuries, then tells him that when he whips the horse, he has to take the ride, and they will ride right now. All of a sudden, it is revealed on the video screen that Solo Sikoa has been attacked backstage, with Jacob Fatu watching as officials check on him. Knight heads backstage and confronts Jacob, then Knight is attacked from out of nowhere by Roman Reigns with a Superman Punch. Reigns tells Jacob to handle Royce Keys while he handles LA Knight.

We see a vignette of a woman in a white two-piece bathing suit on a beach before seeing a woman in a gym practicing kickboxing. Lola Vice arrives on September 14th.

Je'Von Evans beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio by disqualificaton after JD McDonagh attacks Je'Von on the outside in full view of the referee. After the match, Joe Hendry arrives as Dominik and McDonagh are about to gang up on Je'Von, and Hendry makes the save. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and angrily states that he is tired of Judgment Day (Dominik and McDonagh) interference before restarting the match as a tag match.

The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh) beat Je'Von Evans and Joe Hendry after McDonagh headbutts Hendry on the outside, allowing Dominik to hit the top rope splash for the pin and the win.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Becky Lynch. Becky is soon interrupted by Stephanie Vaquer, who also wants to know why Becky helped her. Becky says she saw an opportunity to beat up The Judgment Day and took it, but if she did want to help someone, it would be someone who would take one three women at once and it would be Vaquer, who Becky says she would rather face for the Women's World Championship than Liv Morgan. Vaquer says that she does not Becky's help, but Becky says Vaquer owes her one and owes her some respect, and that if Vaquer wins the title, she gets first crack at it.

He says that he has respect for both men and that Bron Breakker will bring a fight to Oba Femi like Oba Femi has never seen before, and that he knows what is as stake and what is on the line.

LA Knight heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Knight addresses Roman Reigns, wanting to know why he is sending The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) after him to keep him away and telling him that he has not earned a World title shot and that he should go win a tournament. He then mentions Roman Reigns having a tournament in which Knight does not qualify for, then says that The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) are coming after him while Solo Sikoa is telling the truth about them. Knight says he may have "stepped in it," but he may have to deal with some family business. When Knight mentions Solo, Solo shows up from out of the crowd and thanks Knight for the assist last week, and mentions that nobody would have been able to picture this a year or two ago after all they had been through. He says that Knight could have said no, but he said "Yeah," but as Knight tells Solo that he already got away with two impersonations and that this is his warning shot, The Usos arrive. Jimmy thinks Solo has decided to be a comedian and thought it was really fun when he went against them and Samoan Spiked Roman Reigns, and that Solo still has consequences coming. After Jey says that this is Solo's warning shot, Solo pretends to Neo from The Matrix, then Jey threatens to beat up both Knight and Solo. Solo challenges The Usos to a tag team match tonight, and Solo and Knight make it clear they have each others' backs.

We see a vignette for Lola Vice, who is coming to Raw on September 14th. (The vignette only hints that it is her with some dance moves focused on her hips in a dressed followed by some kickboxing practice and making someone tap out.)

General Manager Adam Pearce and Paul Heyman are in the ring for a contract signing. Oba Femi is introduced, followed by Bron Breakker, who is introduced by Heyman. Breakker looks at the contract, then asks Oba who he thinks he is, claiming to be the future of WWE like he has earned it, despite winning the King of the Ring Tournament and beating Brock Lesnar. He says that those opportunities sound nothing like championships, then says that eight months ago, he had WWE in the palm of his hand before Oba Femi showed up. He then got hurt, and when he did, Oba Femi weaseled his way into his spot and took his opportunities, and says that Oba was born at the top of the mountain he was trying to climb and that Oba is in the position he is in because he got hurt. Breakker says he will reclaim what is rightfully his, then Oba calls Breakker "an angry orange man" who is so frustrated that Oba does not rate him and that he overestimates him. He says that if Breakker debuted in WWE, he would be the face and future of WWE. He also says that is Breakker debuted in 2015, he would have been the face and future then. Oba then says that this is 2026 and that Breakker has the unfortunate position of running against him, and his chances of running the place have drastically gone down. Oba says the dogs are barking up the wrong tree and that Breakker is outclassed, and at Sunday Night's Main Event, he will be everything he promises that he is. Breakker mentions the fans' adoration of Oba and how they think Oba will roll over him, then tells Oba that he will force him to fight him in the deep waters, where he says Oba will not last against "a real dog like [him]." Breakker says that while Oba casts a big shadow in the ring, he will own Breakker and make Breakker stand in his. Breakker says Oba may be the future, but he will be the guy that Oba could not beat. Breakker signs the contract. Breakker hands the contract to Heyman, then says "Are you gonna sign it? Or will Daddy do it for ya?" Breakker then gets in Heyman's face and demands he sign the contract before hitting Oba with a cheap shot. Heyman and Pearce leave, and Heyman tosses the contract in the ring. Oba goes for a choke slam, but he is attacked from behind by Austin Theory. Oba fends them both off as Breakker goes for a Spear while Theory holds him down, and Breakker is clotheslined out of the ring while Theory goes through the table. Breakker almost gets in the ring only for Oba to stare him down, and Oba says that this is exactly how he will have Breakker come September 5th: running away from him. Oba then signs the contract and tosses it to Breakker.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) are met by Jacob Fatu. Jimmy tells Jacob to stay backstage while he and Jey run the play, but Jacob says Roman Reigns to stand down, which he did, and when Reigns tells him to run a play, he will do it.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce congratulates Chad Gable on having an all-timer with Penta, then tells him that he will come up with another all-timer for him and leaves. "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and says he wants the Intercontinental Championship, then says Gable is intimidated and that he is offering "washed-up Hall of Famers" title shots to lighten his schedule. Gable tells Ethan that he had his opportunity and lost, then says he talked his way out of another by opening his mouth and spewing out trash before leaving.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Stephanie Vaquer, who will face Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship in two weeks. Vaquer says that Liv Morgan showed once again that she needed "her two pets" to deal with her, and while she does not need Becky Lynch's help, she respects Becky. Vaquer then says she will be alone in the ring when she takes her title back and destroys The Judgment Day.

The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) vs. LA Knight and Solo Sikoa ends in a no-contest after Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa are plowed through the barricade with a Spear by Royce Keys, who has not been seen in a little while. All of a sudden, LA Knight gets jumped by two men wearing bandannas over their mouths like masks who are none other than OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price).

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 17, 2026

Stephanie Vaquer heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Vaquer says she is here tonight for only one reason: the Women's World Championship. She does not want to talk, and wrestling is her first language. Vaquer calls out Liv Morgan, and Liv shows up with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Liv says Vaquer may not feel like talking a lot tonight, but she has a lot on her night. She mentions Becky Lynch mentioning her reign negating all the hard work she put in the Women's World Championship, then says that she does not care. Liv says she does not care about those before her and those coming after her, as she is not a champion for them, and she certainly does not care for any of the fans. Liv also talks about how she put Stephanie Vaquer on the shelf for three month and states that all that matters is that she is champion, and as long as she is, Vaquer and Becky never will be. She says that the woman that Becky and Vaquer berated on a regular basis is now the greatest Women's World Champion of all time. Vaquer then dares Liv to get in the ring, and Liv tells Vaquer she will regret this when Roxanne and Raquel join her in a three-on-one attack.

Je'Von then grabs a microphone and ask Big Cass if that is all he has got, and Big Cass makes up his mind to return to the ring. Je'Von clocks Cass with a right hand, then hits him with a tope suicida despite a tweaked left ankle. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio suddenly grabs Je'Von and sends him into the ring post, and that allows Big Cass to launch Je'Von into the barricade before hitting him with a big boot back in the ring.

We hear from Lyra Valkyria, who brags about decimating Bayley and how everything is about Sol Ruca these days. Lyra says she can do anything Sol Ruca does, but she does not because she is smart, and that when one flies and flips around, bad things happen.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri). Logan Paul states that last week was all about showing that they run this place, and that anybody that wants to step up will get put down. Maxxine Dupri laughs about Austin Theory smashing Otis' head into the ring post and squashing Tozawa over and over again. Theory says Oba Femi took a cheap shot on him last week, and that this will not go unnoticed. He also notes that he and Bron Breakker are the World Tag Team Champions and he has Maxxine on his arm. Breakker states that anything he has to say to Oba Femi will be said right to his face. Breakker heads to the ring and calls Oba Femi out, telling him he will have to take the future of WWE from him if he wants to be it. Paul Heyman suddenly shows up and says he was once an advocate and still an oracle and wiseman. Heyman says he knows what is wise and not wise to do, and notes that the question going around is "Who is the future of WWE?" Breakker demands that Heyman tell him who he thinks is the future of WWE. Suddenly, the lights go out, and Oba Femi makes his way to the ring. Oba says that Breakker is asking stupid questions and that he already knows who the future is, as does he, the fans and Brock Lesnar. Oba states that "the future is Oba Femi," and if Breakker has a problem with the answer, he can take it up with him any day, any time. Breakker proposes right here and right now, and Heyman says that if Breakker takes one more step towards Oba, he takes a permanent step away from him. Heyman says that WWE is a publicly traded company and the biggest wrestling company on the face of the planet, and that they answer to shareholders. Heyman admits that this will not a popular thing to say, especially in Buffalo, New York, and says that while two people in the ring understand, one is learning. Heyman says that the future does not propose an impromptu match and that the match must be prepared and marketed, and that he has already set this up for Sunday Night's Main Event in Breakker's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Breakker and Oba Femi will square off then to see who is really the future of WWE. Breakker shakes hands with Heyman, and Oba Femi does the same.

Roman Reigns arrives at the arena, and Jacob Fatu gets the door of the limo for him. The two of them then head to the ring. Roman Reigns demands that Solo Sikoa be brought to him, and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) do just that. The Usos bring Solo Sikoa to the ring, and Reigns says that regardless of what the fans think, the sight of Solo pisses him off. Reigns says that he is a blessed man and has everything one can ever imagine, but some say he is petty and cannot understand how he can hold a receipt for so long. Reigns recalls his and Solo's Tribal Combat match, which is revisited in video package form and interspersed with recent footage of Solo Sikoa being cheeky towards The Usos and Roman Reigns, leading to a "Solo" chant. Reigns then says the fans may think it is funny, then asks why Solo thinks this is funny before noticing his jewelry and stepping on his sunglasses after nudging them off. Reigns asks Solo why he is looking at him and not on his knees begging. Solo is suddenly superkicked by Jacob Fatu, who then locks in the Tongan Death Grip. Reigns calls Jacob off, then tells Solo to wait on the mat while he has other business. Reigns praises The Usos and calls them his captains, and declares that if anyone disrespects them, they disrespect Reigns. Jimmy and Jey are both awarded black ula falas, then Reigns and The Usos focus on Solo again before LA Knight shows up. Knight sends The Usos out of the ring, then confronts Reigns. Jacob Fatu attacks Knight from behind, but Reigns stops him before he can lock in the Tongan Death Grip so he can hit Knight with a Superman Punch. As Reigns is about to go for the ground and pound on Knight, Reigns decides to force Solo to lay Knight out, saying that his father is watching and that he is here to serve his family now.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 3, 2026

Roman Reigns heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Reigns says that he is a man of his word, and that when he calls his shot, he delivers. He says that he saved WWE and owned the whole summer, and last night, he beat Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. He knows that in Iowa, it stings a little bit, for Rollins is from Iowa and Rollins is "his boy," then has the crowd sing Rollins' song. All of a sudden, LA Knight shows up. Knight congratulates Reigns for his win at SummerSlam and still being World Heavyweight Champion, then congratulates Reigns on beating Rollins on his own. He then says Reigns is still a fraud. Knight says he has called his name for months, but Reigns has sicced The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) on him, and Reigns still owes him a real one-on-one match for the World Heavyweight Championship, and while they can have it any time they want, the only right answer is "Yeah." Reigns says the only fraud he is Knight, saying that Knight calls himself a megastar yet wears a Walmart watch on his wrist before showing off his own wristwatch. He says everyone runs their mouths, and wants to know what Knight has done lately. He says there is no validity in anything Knight says, as he has not won a tournament or a big match, and says title shorts will be awarded through bitching and moaning. He says that Knight will not waste his time, and tells Knight to get to the back of the line. Knight stops Reigns on his way out, saying that Reigns is cooler when he is not standing in front of him and that Reigns uses other people to duck him because he sucks. He says Reigns may be on another level because he is champion, but he is not on his level. Knight says that Reigns is everything he wishes he was, and tells Reigns to come back when he can buy a pair, since he cannot grow one, so he can slap him back to factory settings.

Je'Von Evan beats "All Ego" Ethan Page with the OG Cutter after the referee catches Ethan removing a turnbuckle cover and Je'Von leaps over both Ethan and the referee to hit the OG Cutter. After the match, Big Cass returns and hits Je'Von with a big boot, then grabs Je'Von and whips him into the ropes for a bear hug into the East River Crossing.

Backstage, Roman Reigns speaks with the rest of The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu), saying he has a standard and that it does not work if they lose. He says they already had the advantage and still lost, then wants to know where Solo Sikoa is, as he should be on his hip right now. After showing further frustration with LA Knight, he wants to know why Royce Keys is considered Jacob's family, as Royce is not part of his. Roman tells Jacob not to let "those circus folks" confuse him and that they are the only bloodling around here. He tells The Bloodline to leave LA Knight to him, then leaves before Knight shows up, saying he is out of here after having overheard Reigns.

Backstage, Royce Keys meets with Jacob Fatu, reminding him of the times they both fought in California and that he is still rolling with him and that they are still family. Jacob feels otherwise, and says Royce is just "one of the boys" before challenging him to a street fight tonight.

The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) heads to the ring. Liv brags about she beat one of the best in the world in Iyo Sky at SummerSlam before calling her the only woman in the division brave enough to challenge her, and now that she is done with Iyo, she does not see any challengers. Liv says she will be the longest-reigning Women's World Champion of all time, then addresses Raquel, who is carrying the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, which is now adorned with barbed wire. She says Raquel could not be champion without the help of Roxanne Perez, who will beat Sol Ruca tonight and prove that The Judgment Day rules Monday Night Raw.

Sol Ruca beats Roxanne Perez by disqualification after Liv Morgan trips Sol Ruca at the corner as Sol Ruca goes for the Soul Snatcher in full view of the referee. All of a sudden, Becky Lynch shows up for the first time in over two months and confronts The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez), but says she is not here for the Women's Intercontinental Championship and that she wants the World Women's Championship. She says that she is here to make sure Liv does not wait over 100 days to defend again and that Liv Morgan has done nothing but become a glorified valet and that a champion should be fighting and not just flirting. She says that Liv has had the worst title reign of all time.She says that Liv has had the worst title reign of all time. After Becky says that things are about to get worse for Liv, Liv says Becky should be at home with her daughter instead of in her face being jealous of her because Becky's time is over and her time is over. The Judgment Day leaves, and Becky says Liv is not the greatest women's champion to sleep with "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, much less the best in her group. All of a sudden, Stephanie Vaquer shows up for the first time in a while and takes out Raquel and Roxanne. Liv runs to the ring, and Becky Lynch watches from the top rope as Vaquer beats Liv up. Raquel and Roxanne return, but Vaquer fends them off as well as Liv, sending all three women into a retreat. Becky and Vaquer then have a staredown in the middle of the ring, and both of them argue over the Women's World Championship.

We see a video package chronicling Brock Lesnar's career.

Backstage, Paul Heyman has seen the video package for Brock Lesnar when he is met by Oba Femi, who says he never got the chance to thank Lesnar. He asks Heyman to tell Lesnar he said thanks when he sees him again, and Heyman congratulates Oba Femi on winning at SummerSlam.

Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba says that words cannot describe what transpired at SummerSlam, and that he and Brock Lesnar came out of their match with newfound respect for one another. He thought that Lesnar knew he was the one at WrestleMania, but chalked Lesnar's revenge out of jealousy or evil. He then found out that Lesnar wanted to know if he could swim, but at SummerSlam, the question was whether or not Oba could hold his breath. Oba states that Lesnar took him to the deepest deaths, but he swam up, become victorious, and passed the test.He says that now, "The Beast" can rest, and now that he has a clear path, he will lead a new generation and a new crop of talent, the old guard will fall, and if any man has a problem, they will answer to him. As Oba Femi is on his way out, The Vision (Bron Breakker, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri) shows up, and Bron Breakker stares Oba Femi down briefly before The Vision heads to the ring to the point that Theory has to hold Theory back.

Bron Breakker beats Joe Hendry with a Spear despite continuing to look towards the back at the start of the match, which leads to Hendry sending Theory into the commentary table after leaping over a Spear after Breakker runs around the ring. After the match, Austin Theory attacks Joe Hendry, and Akira Tozawa gets in the ring and fights Theory, sending Theory out of the ring.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Big Cass. Big Cass says he was left for dead in the dirt and that it took eight years to get here from rock bottom. He says that it was nothing personal and that Je'Von Evans was just in the way, and that Je'Von is the first - and not the last - of the bodies he will stack.

Chad Gable heads to the ring. Gable talks about how last night was the single-greatest moment of his career and says that he earned it, then thanks Penta for being the epitome of a fighting champion and continuing to cement his legacy as the greatest luchador in the history of the business. He then thanks all of the fans for sticking with him for ten years, even when it came close and it never happened, even when he was "Shorty G," and even when he promised to overcome everything he had been through to become a singles champion. Gable says he has taught his children to bust one's ass to deliver when you make a promise, and that he has delivered on his promise and is proud to be WWE Intercontinental Champion. All of a sudden, Penta shows up and heads to the ring, and tells Gable that he deserves the Intercontinental Championship, and tonight, he gives Gable his flowers. He knows that Gable made his mistakes, but he changed, and now, he has his respect and that of the fans. He calls Gable "a true luchador" and one of the best wrestlers in the world before raising his hand. All of a sudden, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up. Dominik says he cannot understand Gable being called a true luchador, then says he is AAA Mega Champion and the greatest Mysterio of all time. McDonagh asks why any of "these Des Moines ditchpigs" would root for Gable when he lost the right to call himself a luchador. McDonagh also mocks Penta for losing to Gable before Dominik says the two of them will beat Penta and Gable any time. Gable says tonight is the best time, and Dominik accepts the challenge.

Chad Gable and Penta beat The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh) after Gable stops Dominik from hitting the 619 with a ring bell hammer in his boot and Penta blasts Dominik on the outside with the WWE Intercontinental Championship as the referee puts the hammer away.

Backstage, Bron Breakker meets with Paul Heyman, who agrees with Breakker that he should do something about Oba Femi. When he asks Paul Heyman where Oba Femi is, Heyman says he does not know, and Breakker apologizes for thinking Oba Femi was Heyman's "new best friend." In the background, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with Lyra Valkyria.

Jacob Fatu beats Royce Keys by submission in a street fight with the Tongan Death Grip. After the match, officials have to get Jacob Fatu off of Royce Keys. After Jacob Fatu is declared the winner, Jacob Fatu briefly locks the hold back in and says it is family business as blood comes out of Royce's mouth. Jacob then scares the referees out of the ring to hit a few hip attacks in the corner. Jacob Fatu then wraps a chair around Royce Key's head, and General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with more officials to talk Jacob down. Jacob pretends to leave the ring, then hits the hip attack one more time on the chair. Roman Reigns shows up and nods at Jacob Fatu from the stage before he and Jacob Fatu raise one finger. Afterwards, Roman Reigns is met by Rey Mysterio, who then tells Roman Reigns that he is General Manager of AAA and says "Let me run something by you."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 27, 2026

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque are in the ring to start tonight's show as the Cell comes down. Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) are escorted to the ring for the official weigh-in for their match. Oba comes out first, followed by Lesnar and Heyman. Oba steps on the scale for his weigh-in first, and weighs in at 302 lbs. Lesnar and Heyman then arrive and make their way to the Cell for Lesnar's weigh-in. When Lesnar's police escort enters the Cell, however, Lesnar locks the Cell door, trapping Oba Femi in the Cell. Heyman announces there is a slight change of plans, as allowing Lesnar in the Cell is not a very good idea. Heyman calls Brock Lensar the most non-PG, most successful and most violent individual in the history of combat sports before telling Oba Femi that he is an underdog going into his Hell in a Cell match with Lesnar. Heyman says that Oba Femi will not beat Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell, then says that Lesnar stepped on a scale backstage and weighed in at 303 lbs. Lesnar then lays the key to the Cell on the floor to taunt Oba Femi, then tells Oba "I'll see you at SummerSlam, bitch!" As Lesnar and Heyman leave, Oba Femi takes his anger out on all of the police officers in the ring and attacks them. (Some of the police officers escoring Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar are played by indepedent wrestlers Lucas Riley, Dom Kubrick and Mathias.)

We look at "Chapter VI: Surprise," which chronicles Seth "Freakin'" Rollins vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at Royal Rumble 2022 and their hatred for each other at the time.

After the match, The Vision continue to attack Tozawa, but Otis makes the save and stops Breakker from hitting another Spear. Maxxine distracts Otis as Otis goes up top, and Breakker and Theory powerbomb Otis out of the corner for a Bron Breakker Spear. On the way out, Theory grabs a metal folding chair and smacks Otis' head against the ring post with it.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews LA Knight. Knight says he is paranoid, as everything he has said would happen has happened, and at SummerSlam, he will be doing some fighting and putting The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) in a hole.

We hear from Raquel Rodriguez and Sol Ruca. Raquel says that Sol Ruca will not get lucky again and will not let the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship slip through her fingers. Sol Ruca says she knows what she is getting into and that Raquel will throw everything at her, but she has beaten her once and she will beat her again.

Comedian Fluffy, Hot Ones: Extra Heat host Sean Evans, All the Smoke Podcast host Matt Barnes, and "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart are seen in the crowd.

We see a video package of Chad Gable's road to SummerSlam.

We hear from Iyo Sky, who says that she has been in Liv Morgan's head since Queen of the Ring and that Liv is not as strong as she thinks she is. She says that Liv is not the greatest challenge of all time, which she has been in the presence of great champions and wrestlers that Liv pales in comparison to. Iyo says that Liv's arrogance will be her downfall and that Liv is scared to lose. She says she will prove Liv wrong again and face her for the World Women's Championship at SummerSlam, stating that she has beaten her once and she will do it again.

WBC Welterweight Champion Ryan Garcia jumps the line and joins the ringside dancers before playing guitar in the ring.

We see another vignette for Big Cass, who will return to WWE next week.

"All Ego" Ethan Page beats Rey Mysterio after blocking the 619 with the ring skirt.

We hear from Liv Morgan, who says that Iyo Sky does not understand who she is facing at SummerSlam. Liv says that everyone overlooked and underestimated her on her way to the top, and that she will do whatever it takes to stay there. She says she does not care about what people think; only the Women's World Championship, which means she has to care about Iyo. She says that Iyo is not in her head and that she is stronger than Iyo thinks she is.

Backstage, it is revealed that Danhausen and the Minihausens have been laid out in Danhausen's laboratory. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and tells Danhausen to give the money back to "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, and Danhausen tells Pearce to put it on a pole for a match. Pearce makes a Human Monies on a Pole Match official for SummerSlam.

The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) head to the ring. Jey Uso warns LA Knight, Royce Keys and Solo Sikoa with a warning shot, then Solo Sikoa shows up out of the crowd and mocks them, saying The Usos started this by running back to Roman Reigns and that "the real Bloodline" had him in it. After Solo says that The Usos have no chance at SummerSlam, Jimmy says that Solo is just playing games before telling him to "run the play or else." Solo asks why he would come back to the family when he and everyone else loves where he is at, and tells The Usos that Roman Reigns can kiss his ass, then LA Knight shows up. LA Knight says his heart does not feel for The Usos' family drama and hopes that maybe they could patch it up before they pay penances for what they did to him and Royce Keys. He says that the talking is done, and he will see them at SummerSlam. Knight turns to leave, then turns around, takes off his jacket, and says he could walk down the aisle so that he and Solo Sikoa can stomp The Usos right now. Solo soon joins Knight in the ring, starting a tag team brawl that only escalates when Jacob Fatu shows up. Royce Keys soon arrives to even the numbers game, then brawls with Jacob Fatu. Jacob soon locks the Tongan Death Grip on Royce Keys before Solo breaks the hold and hits Jacob with the Samoan Spike. Knight hits Jacob with the BFT, and he, Solo and Royce stand tall in the ring.

We see "Chapter VIII: The Grandest Stage," which chronicles Seth "Freakin'" Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship win at WrestleMania 41.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. Before the fans can acknowledge Reigns, however, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and heads to the ring. Rollins demands that the fans acknowledge him, and Reigns calls him an asshole. Rollins says that this is how he gets his, as some other people get things handed to them while people like him have to grind to survive. He admits that Reigns is everything he says he is and everything WWE wanted him to be, and while Reigns has an edge over him in so many departments, he will never be better than him at professional wrestling. Rollins says that when it comes to what goes on in the ring, he owns Reigns, and when it comes to what goes on inside Reigns' head, he owns Reigns there, too. He says that Reigns can call him an asshole, but he cannot call him a liar, and SummerSlam will not be any different. He says that Reigns can need to beat him all he wants, but he will not stand a chance. Reigns states that he is "the only true Superstar" and "the only true champion" around here, and that he meant it when he said that he needed to beat Rollins, and says that the whole industry needs him to beat Rollins. Rollins says it is funny what they need and that Reigns needs this so badly, then addresses Reigns needing his family to be there to see Reigns beat him as well as how he cashed in on him at WrestleMania 31 and sent him and his family home in tears. He then hopes that Reigns' family is there on Sunday so he can see them cry again after finding out that their father is a fraud, a loser and "forever Seth Rollins' bitch." Reigns punches Rollins in the face and attacks him. Reigns soon hits Rollins with the Superman Punch followed by the Spear, then grabs a metal folding chair and tries to hit Rollins with it only for Rollins to recover and hit Reigns with The Stomp.

Danhausen heads to the ring with a leather briefcase, presumably full of human money. Danhausen says he thought he took care of The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) at Saturday Night's Main Event, yet they still want their human money back. He says he does not want the money, but he does not want them to have it, either, and declares that he is giving it to the fans. The Judgment Day show up demanding their money, and Danhausen curses them before trying to run away only to be attacked. Suddenly, Joe Hendry shows up and makes the save for Danhausen, but Liv Morgan is able to get the briefcase.

JD McDonagh finds out that the money is fake, and when he tosses the leather briefcase away, he hits Oba Femi, who wants to destroy McDonagh. Pearce puts McDonagh and Oba Femi in a one-on-one match, and when Dominik complains that it is not fair, Pearce puts him in a match with Joe Hendry later tonight. Pearce then forces The Judgment Day to the ring.

Oba Femi quickly beats JD McDonagh after General Manager Adam Pearce forces "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh to the ring before Danhausen and Joe Hendry show up and send Dominik and McDonagh into the ring.

Solo Sikoa suddenly heads to the ring. He admits that he should not even be on this show, then proposes that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins meet him in the ring now. Rollins heads to the ring and wants to know if they are talking or fighting, and Solo says he is here to talk and not to fight. He knows that Rollins is focused on Roman Reigns, then says it is not just Rollins against Reigns, but the whole Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu). He says he knows what they are going to do because he was a part of it and that they are going to make sure he does not win against Roman Reigns, then says it does not have to be like that and that he can watch Rollins' back at SummerSlam. Rollins says that Solo makes a lot of good points and is open to the idea, then asks Solo to let him think about it. Solo stops him, saying there is nothing to think about and that he could do for Rollins what Rollins himself did for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Jacob Fatu shows up, and Solo Sikoa retreats as Jacob threatens to dog walk Solo. When Jacob turns towards Rollins, Rollins superkicks him, then leaves.

We hear from Paul Heyman, who hypes up Oba Femi vs. Brock Lensar in Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam, saying that Oba Femi is overrated and that Lesnar's unbeaten streak in Hell in a Cell will not be broken. He admits that Oba Femi has had the greatest rookie year on the main roster since Brock Lesnar, but says that Oba will not be able to beat Lesnar in Hell in a Cell, and that Oba's rookie year will come to a violent end.

We see "Chapter V: Back Together," where Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Roman Reigns got The Shield back together. Rollins says this reunion never felt quite right, and Reigns calls it lost time before becoming the Tribal Chief that he will never get back.

Before the next match, LA Knight talks about his SummerSlam match briefly, then mentions Solo Sikoa trying to help Seth "Freakin'" Rollins earlier tonight. Knight admits that he could not believe what he was seeing and that Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship makes him sick, saying that Roman was booed year after year until he was everything the fans wanted him to be. Knight says that he is not just what Roman Reigns wanted to be, but everything the boys in the back wanted Reigns to be but could not make happen. Knight says he is willing to team with Solo for one night, but he draws the line at allying with Rollins. Knight says that he wants The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) destroyed at SummerSlam so they are not a factor later on, then makes some Mortal Kombat references as he states that Jacob Fatu cannot stop him.
