Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 24, 2026

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 video package for the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Tournament.

Stephanie Vaquer beats Roxanne Perez after Raquel Rodriguez distracts the referee, Liv Morgan trips Vaquer off the top, and Becky Lynch suddenly shows up and goes after Liv Morgan. Stephanie takes out Raquel when Raquel stalks Becky from behind, then gets back in the ring and gets the win against Roxanne. After the match, Becky sends Liv into the timekeeper's area, then tells Vaquer that she owes her twice.



Backstage, Rey Mysterio wishes Rey Fenix luck, then "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up and confront Rey for not putting Dominik in the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Tournament. Je'Von Evans suddenly shows up from out of nowhere and jumps Dominik and McDonagh, shoving them into a road crate.

Rey Fenix beats Dragon Lee to advance in the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Tournament.



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. Jey reminds Jacob that he and Jimmy have black ula falas and that they are the captains, and he tells Jacob to stand down backstage and do nothing. Jacob is furious.

Big Cass beats Je'Von Evans after shoving Je'Von Evans off the top turnbuckle. After the match, Je'Von is attacked from behind by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh.





Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Sol Ruca, who will get her rematch against Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship next week. Sol Ruca looks forward to taking the title back when Iyo Sky shows up. Iyo wishes Sol Ruca luck and says she can do it, then Lyra Valkyria suddenly shows up and tells Sol that Raquel will mess her up for ruining her face, and tells Sol to give her the title match so that they can run it back. Sol tells Lyra to earn her title shot, and Lyra says that Bayley used to talk to her like that before leaving.



Penta beats La Parka to advance in the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Tournament, where he will face Rey Fenix in the finals. Penta and Rey Fenix have a staredown on the stage after the match.



Backstage, LA Knight is met by Solo Sikoa. Solo thanks Knight for last week, and says that he not only has Knight's back, but he owes him. Knight says Solo owes him nothing, but tells him not to make him regret this, as they can win tonight as a team.

We see a video package for Zilla Fatu for NXT Heatwave.

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). OTM also takes out Jimmy Uso before Royce Keys directs traffic, spiking Jimmy with a Spinebuster and hitting everyone with the ring steps before OTM puts Jimmy Uso through the announce table to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 20, 2026

The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) beat Je'Von Evans and Dragon Lee. After the match, The Vision beat down on Je'Von Evans until Alpha Academy show up and brawl with The Vision. Maxxine gets in the ring and slaps Otis, but Otis is unfazed, and Otis continues to take the fight to The Vision after Maxxine retreats. Alpha Academy then tear down the announce table for a powerbomb on Theory, but Bron Breakker saves Theory with a Spear. Otis gets in the ring, and Maxxine watches from the top of the ring post as Otis gets Speared.



Backstage, The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) gang up on Danhausen, demanding their money. Danhausen demands that he be let go so he can find the money, and Dominik Myserio gives him thirty seconds.

We see another vignette for Big Cass, who is identified this time while reports of his out-of-the-ring activities are referred to in the vignette. We hear a voice talk about how even when one reaches the top, there is no telling how far one can fall.

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.



We see "Chapter III: The Cash-In," chronicling "The Heist of the Century" in Seth "Freakin'" Rollins' Money in the Bank cash-in from WrestleMania 31.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce confronts The Judgment Day Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) and is joined by Danhausen and Joe Hendry. 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.



Chad Gable and Penta beat "All Ego" Ethan Page and Rusev by disqualification with an ankle lock from Gable to Rusev after Penta leaps off Rusev's back to hit Ethan Page with a Mexican Destroyer.



We see "Chapter IV: The First Encounter," when Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Roman Reigns squared off for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank 2016.

Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins finds Jacob Fatu and dares Jacob to hit him only to mention that he is under strict order from Roman Reigns not to lay a finger on him. Rollins asks if he gets Jacob's services after he wins, and Jacob says that while Rollins got one up on him, it will not happen again, and that if there is anything left of Rollins after SummerSlam, he will beat his ass.

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.

Joe Hendry beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. During the match, Danhausen shows up and tries to curse Liv Morgan, but Liv punches him. Later in the match, Danhausen shows up with Iyo Sky, and Iyo Sky beats Liv Morgan up. As this goes on, Danhausen hits Dominik with the Triple D behind the referee's back, giving Hendry the win.



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.

Jacob Fatu beats LA Knight. During the match, Jimmy Uso shows up, but Solo Sikoa shows up behind Jimmy from the timekeeper's area. Both Jimmy and Solo brawl on the outside, and Jacob hits Solo with a tope suicida. Jimmy goes for a pop-up Samoan Drop on LA Knight, but Knight slips out and hits the BFT just as Jimmy Uso starts distracting the referee. Royce Keys shows up and attacks Jimmy, then "Main Event" Jey Uso comes out of the crowd and superkicks Royce. Jacob then hits the top rope moonsault on Knight for the win. After the match, Jey, Jimmy and Jacob decimate Solo, Royce and Knight before raising a finger in the air to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 29, 2026

Oba Femi heads to the ring to start tonight's show. As Oba talks about becoming King of the Ring at Night of Champions, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up and head to the ring. Lesnar introduces Oba as King of the Ring and talks about how he was King of the Ring a long time ago, then apologizes for not watching the show as he congratulates Oba before telling Oba that he has a big decision as well as mentioning Oba calling him a coward and a bitch when he is not here. He also says that Oba can cut a good promo, which he admits he could never do and is why he has Paul Heyman with him. He then tells Oba "Talk shit, get hit" before kicking Oba in the groin and hitting him with the F5. Oba soon gets back up and says that this is what Lesnar always does, then says that Lesnar is in front of him and that Lesnar is still a bitch. He says that they can do this forever, or they can settle the score at SummerSlam. Lesnar accepts on the condition that their match is a Hell in a Cell Match.



The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) are joined by Joe Hendry during their backstage photoshoot.

Rey Mysterio beats "All Ego" Ethan Page.



Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh look for Danhausen, then find something with a sticker saying "To: Danhausen, From: The Knicks" on the back. They decide to use what they found to send Danhausen a message.

Joe Hendry is in the ring to perform a concert. Hendry introduces a special guest for this concert: the new World Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). Montez Ford thanks the fans for the love they have shown over the past week and through their career in WWE, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins for his assistance, and Joe Hendry for distracting with his surprise return. Joe Hendry then sings about The Street Profits winning the World Tag Team Championships, then Austin Theory shows up and calls The Street Profits thieves and announces that there will be a tag team title rematch next week. Theory says that the leash will be loose on Bron Breakker last week, then tells Joe Hendry that he will destroy him in the ring for making his last song about him. Hendry says that they can do this right now.



Joe Hendry beats Austin Theory.

General Manager Adam Pearce makes that official for tonight, then Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez show up and mention what has been going on when Raquel tells Liv that she has back.

Iyo Sky heads to the ring. Iyo Sky says she is grateful to come back as Queen of the Ring, then thanks the fans for their support before stating that she beat Liv Morgan to be Queen and will beat her again. Suddenly, Liv Morgan shows up and asks Iyo Sky if she is proud of herself before telling Iyo that she got lucky and won because Danhausen cursed her, then says SummerSlam will be different now that she does not respect Iyo. Liv says that Iyo has pissed her off and says that she will deal with her like she did Stephanie Vaquer and Rhea Ripley and absolutely destroy her to remain Women's World Champion. She then says that until then, Iyo is in for a whole lot of trouble as Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez show up from behind Iyo. Iyo fends them off, then confronts Liv. Liv goes for the Ob-Liv-Ion as Iyo is distracted, but Iyo gets the upper hand. The numbers game soon catches up to Iyo, and Iyo is soon surrounded and ganged up on before Liv hits Iyo with the Ob-Liv-Ion. Liv then puts Iyo in a single leg crab in the middle of the ring, and officials have to get Liv to break the hold.



"Main Event" Jey Uso guests on commentary for the next match.

Jimmy Uso beats LA Knight thanks to the distraction from "Main Event" Jey Uso, who Knight hit with a cheap shot for yelling at him while on commentary. After the match, Knight attacks Jimmy, then Jey gets in the ring and beats Knight up. All of a sudden, Solo Sikoa shows up and hits Jimmy with a Samoan Spike and flees through the crowd. Knight then hits Jey with the BFT in the middle of the ring.





We see footage of Gunther having a backstage confrontation with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis after Night of Champions. Aldis shoves Gunther after Gunther accuses Aldis of screwing him, and Gunther shoves back. Both men have been sent home, with Aldis being put on administrative leave pending an investigation and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce running both shows for the immediate future.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) find Jacob Fatu and asks where he has been. Jacob says he only takes orders from Roman Reigns, and after tonight, Roman Reigns has told him that he will fix things with Solo Sikoa on SmackDown. Jey says he will be joining Jacob and that with Sami Zayn as the Undisputed WWE Champion now, he will bring gold back to The Bloodline (Roman, Jimmy, Jey, Jacob).

We hear from Lyra Valkyria, who says that everyone is on her back after she let the anger take over and turned on Bayley after being the better woman for over a year. She then says she is not losing sleep over it, as she wanted to bring Bayley to the top with her after putting trust in Bayley after doing it herself. She says she never wanted to hurt Bayley, but it felt so good to close that gap.



Backstage, Maxxine Dupri passes by Chad Gable and says she meant what she said to him, but apologizes for how she said it. Gable tells Maxxine she has nothing to apologize for and that she has a match to focus on.

Raquel Rodriguez beats Maxxine Dupri for a shot at the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship.



Backstage, Danhausen finds his laboratory ransacked by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh and his gift from the New York Knicks stolen. Liv Morgan shows up and tells Danhausen to make things right with The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) before things get worse for him.

Before the next match, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio accompanies JD McDonagh wearing a New York Knicks jersey with Danhausen's name on the back, which is the Knicks' gift to Danhausen that Dominik and McDonagh stole.

Chad Gable beats JD McDonagh by submission with the ankle lock after Danhausen shows up and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio flees through the crowd. Danhausen then leaves a briefcase at ringside. McDonagh tries to reverse Chaos Theory after the distraction from what has happened, but Gable locks in the ankle lock and McDonagh quickly taps out. After the match, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh find the briefcase that Danhausen has left behind and open it. A powder trap springs on them, and Danhausen runs out and takes his jersey back only to be attacked by Raquel Rodriguez. Danhausen disappears, and Raquel gets the Knicks jersey back.





Backstage, Maxxine Dupri is met by Austin Theory, who says that their relationship - which has been happening in the background in the last couple of weeks - is not working out if she is willing to go back down the Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri) road. Theory leaves, and when Otis and Tozawa show up and ask Maxxine if she is okay, Maxxine says "I don't know" and leaves.



Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu head to the ring. After the commercial break, Roman is about to speak when Seth "Freakin'" Rollins suddenly shows up and heads to the ring. Both Roman and Rollins have a staredown, then Rollins addresses their history in WWE together and states that it is fitting that they are both in this moment with Roman in possession of a title that belongs to him. Rollins says that it is time to collect, but Roman tells Rollins that he is "the back of the line" and has done nothing of late to face him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins says Roman can play that game with everyone else, but not with him. Rollins says that he is always the front of the line when it comes to Roman, as he owns Roman in the ring, in his head and in his heart and is responsible for Roman accomplishing all that he has in that time. He then talks about the last few times he tried to put a stop to him in the last four years and mentions that Roman beat everyone in that time except for one person, as well as how he cashed in on Roman at WrestleMania 31. Rollins says he has owned Roman since the day he took a metal folding chair to his back and betrayed him, then says he is here to give Roman something nobody else can give him, as Roman is great as he is claimed to be and has done it all. Rollins then says that Roman has only one thing left to do in WWE - beat him - and that he will give him that opportunity, as this may be the last chance for Roman to do it. He talks about how he and Roman came into WWE together and created "the greatest generation in the history of this industry," and states they are now closer to the end than to the beginning as there is now a new genearation ready to beat them.Rollins says that this is the last time they may be able to do this dance, as Roman is a sure-fire Hall of Famer and he may not be there to induct him. He then says that if Roman does not take this challenge, he may not be able to escape "the ghost of Seth Rollins." Rollins asks Roman if he accepts, and Roman says it has been a long time since he heard any truth from Rollins' mouth and admits that Rollins is right. He says he does not want to beat Rollins, but he needs to beat him and have his family witness it. Roman then says he will do just that at SummerSlam, and accepts Rollins' challenge.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 22, 2026

Oba Femi heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Oba says that since he was born, he has been backed by destiny, which allowed him to enter the WWE, beat Brock Lesnar and reach the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament. He says that destiny is still on his side, and this weekend, destiny will take him to new heights when he becomes the new King of the Ring. Oba then states that when he becomes King, he still has the dilemma of picking between the Undisputed WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. All of a sudden, he is interrupted by "Main Event" Jey Uso, and despite Oba Femi's claims that he will stop Jey from "running it back," Jey Uso has his theme play for a few more seconds anyway. Jey says that everyone has counted him out when he won the Royal Rumble, won the World Heavyweight Championship, shook arenas, and in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament, and that people are counting him out against Oba Femi. Jey says he will shock the world and silence the haters by beating Oba Femi to become King of the Ring and beat "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He calls this "a warning shot," but an unfazed Oba Femi tells Jey that he will destroy him regardless of whether he misses when he shoots his shot and that Jey is not the family member that he is really worried about. He then tells Jey to hand his bullets to his cousin Roman Reigns.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by LA Knight, who still thinks that Pearce is siding with The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu) Jimmy Uso shows up and confronts LA Knight for his actions from last week, and Pearce gets between them only to be told to shut up by LA Knight. Pearce puts Knight and Jimmy in a match, and LA Knight responds by refusing to listen to Pearce and puts himself in a match tonight with Jimmy.

Before the next match, Jackie Redmond interviews Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Lyra says that this is the night where they become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and Bayley says they have been the best team in the women's division for far too long and that it is all or nothing.

Brie Bella and Paige retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. After the match, Bayley helps Lyra up and says that they are still the best, but Lyra Valkyria throws Bayley into the ropes and attacks her. Officials have to run into the ring to pull Lyra off of Bayley, but that leads to Lyra hitting Bayley with Nightwing.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria, who is not even in the mood to be interviewed before she walks off.

Chad Gable heads to the ring. Gable says he is in the ring for something special and that he has had "a hell of a month" after losing his mask in Mexico, and that he not only lost his mask, but he lost his self-respect, his reputation, his dignity and even some of his friends. He says that Rey Mysterio has made him realize it is never too late to right some wrongs in your life, then asks Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri) to come to the ring. Alpha Academy come to the ring, and Gable thanks them, saying that he does not deserve them giving him the time of day. Gable congratulates Maxxine on winning a singles championship and states that the way he treated her was pathetic and embarrassing, and says it is all his fault. He says that Tozawa has the heart of a lion, but he tried to hold him down and hold him back, and says how he treated him was pathetic and embarrassing, and it is all his fault. He calls Otis the most loyal friend a human being could ever have and says that Otis would have taken a bullet for him, and that he misses him. He says that they were neighbors, Olympic training partners and tag team champions, and he threw it all away because he selfishly wanted a singles title more than his friendship and it is all on him. Gable says that Alpha Academy does not owe him a damn thing, but he owes them something, and apologizes for his behavior. Before Otis can forgive Gable, Maxxine stands between them, saying there was a time that she would believe everything he said, but now she sees clearly, and that everything about Gable is a lie. She knows that everyone wants to forgive him, including Otis and Tozawa, but she does not, especially after she had to stop and especially after they had to drown in the business alone while he chased his own dreams because it was all about him. She says the apology is for him, but when she achieved his dream, he finally realized that they never needed him. Maxxine then says they will leave him the same way he left Alpha Academy: alone. She then shoves the microphone into Gable's chest and leaves with Tozawa, and Otis looks briefly at Gable before joining them.



Backstage, Dragon Lee is met by Rey Mysterio, who tells "All Ego" Ethan Page some respect for lucha libre after what Ethan and Rusev last week. Penta shows up and says tonight is Dragon Lee's night.

"All Ego" Ethan Page beats Dragon Lee after hitting Dragon Lee low with his head in a way that looks inadvertent to the referee before hitting the Ego-Plex for the win.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory). Theory says that everyone is after them, including Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, who Breakker will handle in a steel cage, and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who do not know respect. He says that when it comes to building the future, The Vision are the ones doing it. He says that nobody knows sacrifice like Logan Paul, who says that if it were up to him, he would beat The Street Profits over the head with his cast, then brags than he is healing faster than anybody in the course of human history who has ever healed and that he has his money on The Vision tonight. Bron Breakker says that they will handle business tonight and retain the World Tag Team Championships.

We hear from Sol Ruca, who says that she is a thrill-seeker not just in the ring, but in everything that she does. She loves learning new things and challenging herself, as well as failing, getting back up and making a fool out of herself. She says that the feeling she gets when she gets back up and proves everyone wrong is what drives her, and that she is unapologetically herself and the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion.

Zuffa boxers Lee Cutler and Alex MacMillan, former boxer Derek Chisora, UFC Welterweight Figher Michael "Venom" Page and actor Jason Statham are seen in the crowd.

Jackie Redmond interviews Iyo Sky in the ring. Iyo says she is extremely grateful to have gotten here, and she cannot wait to beat Liv Morgan to become Queen of the Ring. Suddenly, Liv Morgan shows up and says that Iyo has forgotten who she is dealing with and that Iyo is not beating her because she is so much better and so much more talented than Iyo. Liv says she is the face of the women's division and that all she is missing is her crown as she enters the ring, and that she will make history by becoming Queen of the Ring while Women's World Champion and beating Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women's Championship. Iyo asks Liv if the crown will fit on her big head, then says that Liv is arrogant. Iyo then says something to Liv in Japanese before Liv hits her, and Iyo answers back with a springboard drop kick.



Backstage, Jimmy Uso is met by "Main Event" Jey Uso. Jimmy says he has LA Knight and that Jey should focus on becoming King of the Ring. Jacob Fatu shows up, and Jey wonders where Jacob has been. Jacob says he only answers to Roman Reigns, and that the only thing that matters is that Solo Sikoa got the message, and now, they sit and wait.

This allows Danhausen to quickly disappear.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). Angelo says they are ready, saying they are ready for The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) and that unlike Logan Paul, he is 100%.

"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh show up, and JD McDonagh's hand is shaking as he introduces himself to Roxanne and Raquel, as if he does not know them. Liv Morgan shows up angry at what Iyo Sky did to her, and Raquel says that while Liv Morgan will become Queen of the Ring, the rest of them are not doing so well. Liv says she will become a double champion while Raquel will handle Sol Ruca. Suddenly, McDonagh's condition takes a turn for the worse, and he has to be rushed to medical.

We see Corey Graves' interview with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins from earlier today. Rollins says he has gotten closer to his goal of destroying The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory), although it has not gone the way he expected. He says that if it were not for The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), he does not know if he would be one win away from doing it. Rollins says he knows the risks of a steel cage match with Bron Breakker and says a lot could go wrong, but when you have a problem, you must find a way around it, and he is an expert at that and putting other chips on the table. He says that this steel cage match will tell him and the world who he is, and if he can beat Breakker, then he can put The Vision behind him and take back the World Heavyweight Championship that he never lost.



Backstage, Chad Gable meets with General Manager Adam Pearce. They are both met by The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) as they mention Penta, and Dominik says that Gable is not facing Penta before him when he cannot even get an apology from "[his] loser friends." Dominik then demands an apology from Gable for disrespecting him as well as Pearce for Danahusen stealing his money. Gable says that Dominik sent him to Mexico in the first place and that this is what he gets for "listening to [his] dumb ass." Gable then says that Dominik will have to beat an apology out of him, but Dominik says he does not just give away matches. Pearce then makes a match between Gable and McDonagh - who thinks Pearce is a doctor - official for next week.

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) to become the World Tag Team Champions and five-time tag team champions in WWE. During the match, Logan Paul gets ejected from ringside for putting Theory's foot on the rope during a pinfall attempt, but he later returns with brass knuckles. Joe Hendry shows up and chases Logan Paul through the crowd, but when Theory goes for the knuckles that Logan Paul has left in the ring, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up through the crowd as Breakker waits for him at the bottom ofthe ramp.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 13, 2026

We hear from Roman Reigns, who says that he gave CM Punk advice only for Punk to do what he thought he would do: lie and try to revise his history. He says that his fans lived through it all and that Punk exposed himself as a hypocrite. Footage of CM Punk and Pat McAfee speaking is shown, then Roman says that while he likes Pat McAfee, he has never had a punter run his mouth to him. He says that it is not 2012 anymore and the fans love him now. Roman says he will give CM Punk one last chance to tell the truth, or he will. We then heard the words "This message has been approved by your Tribal Chief."

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque are in the ring. Pearce announces that Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will sign their match contract separately to avoid what happened last week before Paul Heyman arrives. Heyman says it is "WrestleMania fight week" and that nobody should even get close to "The Beast," Brock Lesnar, who shows up and heads to the ring with Heyman. Heyman signs the contract for his WrestleMania match before tipping his hat to Pearce while Triple H shakes Heyman's hand. Lesnar grabs the microphone from Heyman's hand and says that nobody will remember Oba Femi's hand after this weekend, then Heyman says that in "the real main event of WrestleMania," there will be a winner and a loser. He says that the loser's name is Oba Femi, and that the winner will be Brock Lesnar.



iShowSpeed is met by The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory). iShowSpeed admits that he is not a wrestler, but Logan Paul says it does not matter and that he is a phenom, and that it is time to lock in. Austin Theory recaps the situation, and says that LA Knight and The Usos have it out for him. iShowSpeed psyches himself up, then starts training with The Vision. Some of the Performance Center talent is involved (including Dante Chen), and at one point, iShowSpeed is able to do a Boston Crab. At the end, iShowSpeed is a lot more confident.

Lyra Valkyria beats Bayley after Charlotte tosses Lyra into Bayley on the outside and goes for an O'Connor Roll only for Bayley to trip up Charlotte on the outside, allowing Lyra to get the win.

We see some footage of Netflix's new biography about Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan: Real American, revolving around becoming the third man and joining the New World Order at Bash at the Beach 1996.



Cathy Kelley interviews Stephanie Vaquer in the ring. All of a sudden, Vaquer is attacked from out of nowhere by Liv Morgan, and officials have to break up the ensuing brawl. Liv dares Vaquer to fight her in the ring, then says that she knew Vaquer's mother was trash, yet she did not know that she raised a little bitch. Vaquer yells at Liv before getting back in the ring and fighting her again. Once again, officials have to separate them both.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Iyo Sky. Iyo says she may have lost against Jade Cargill last week, but she does not regret fighting for Rhea Ripley, and nobody will be rooting for Rhea more than her. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Asuka tells Iyo that Rhea is not her family. She also mentions Iyo entering WrestleMania last year as champion, then says that Iyo is just Rhea's sidekick now. Iyo takes exception to this and tells Kairi Sane that she does not have to listen to her, and that leads to Asuka putting Kairi in a match against Iyo tonight.

LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) beat The MFT's (Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo) in a six-man tag match. Near the end of the match, Solo Sikoa is distracted with Tama Tonga, who suddenly shows up from behind the barricade, and Solo confronts Tama about where he has been alongside Talla Tonga as LA Knight hits Tama Tonga with the BFT for the pin and the win.



Gunther heads to the ring. After the commercial break, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins rushes to the ring and attacks Gunther before he can speak. Rollins calls this his receipt for Gunther attacking him two weeks in a row, and at WrestleMania, he finishes the job. Rollins then says that if this is personal for Gunther and not about kissing Paul Heyman's ass, then Gunther should look him in the eye and tell him why he should fight him at WrestleMania. Gunther calls Rollins' bluff and says he will solve Heyman's problem with a smile on his face, as Rollins has been pissing him off by walking around like he is the best in the ring while he is the best and not Rollins. He says that Rollins became a useful idiot for Heyman and that he is setting it straight at WrestleMania and proving that Rollins cannot lace his boots. This leads to a brawl, and Rollins nearly hits The Stomp on Gunther into the ring steps before Gunther retreats into the crowd.



We see smoke on a black background. The screen flashes red while a heartbeat can be heard. Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio complains to General Manager Adam Pearce about having to face The Demon and not Finn Balor, and wants the WrestleMania match cancelled. Pearce tells Dominik that he is getting what he deserves at WrestleMania, just like Rey Mysterio.

Actor Yahya Adbul-Matteen II and Sacramento Kings forward Dylan Cardwell are seen in the crowd.

Kairi Sane beats Iyo Sky. During the match, Rhea Ripley shows up to keep Asuka from getting involved in the match and goes for Riptide on Asuka only to be attacked from behind by Jade Cargill. Iyo takes out Cargill with a tope suicida, then fends off Kairi Sane before going for Over the Moonsault. As referee Jessika Carr checks on Kairi, Asuka trips Iyo off the top turnbuckle, and Kairi wins with a schoolkid pin.



We see a video package for Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque introduce Oba Femi to the ring to sign the contract for his WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi shows up, heads to the ring, shakes hands with Triple H and Pearce, then signs the contract. Oba then takes the microphone, then notices Paul Heyman on the stage. Heyman says that in his entire life, he has never seen someone handle Brock Lesnar the way that Oba Femi did and says that Oba is a violent man, which he admires from afar as he calls Oba the greatest up-and-comer he has seen since Lesnar. Heyman then declares that this will all come to an end and that everything Oba has built will come crashing down with an F-5 in Suplex City by Brock Lesnar. He also tells Oba that there is no shame in this lose and nothing but pride in being in the WrestleMania main event, and that while Oba will be conquered by Lesnar, his door will always be open to Oba Femi when he needs to rebuild his career. Oba says it is taking everything to keep him from beating Heyman pillar to post, then says that it is deeper than that. He says that while the physical scars will heal, the emotional wounds will last forever when Lesnar loses. He says that the only door he needs to open is already open, and that is the door to WrestleMania. He says Heyman and Lesnar issued the challenge to whoever stepped up, and that he has proven that Lesnar can be baten. Oba says this is just business, but it is not business as usual and that he, Heyman and the fans can all feel it. He says it is time to put an end to Lesnar, then calls Heyman out on his dishonesty, for if he were honest, he would admit that Lesnar is afraid of him. Oba says that he will slay "The Beast" and that he will be the one to beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.



We see the world premiere of Liv Morgan's "Trouble," which was briefly hinted at last week with the footage of the dancers.



Je'Von Evans and Dragon Lee beat Rusev and JD McDonagh with a Styles Clash from Dragon Lee to JD McDonagh. After the match, Rusev attacks Je'Von Evans and Dragon Lee, then Rey Mysterio runs to the ring and fights Rusev only to get clotheslined. Penta shows up and brawls with Rusev only to eat a Machka Kick. Je'Von goes for an OG Cutter, but Rusev lays him out. When McDonagh congratulates Rusev, Rusev lays him out, too. Rusev then attacks Dragon Lee and puts him in the Accolade.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is on the phone with John Cena when he is met by Danhausen, who wants to speak with Cena. Danhausen hopes to see Cena, as Pearce cannot see him. Pearce tells Cena that he will call him back, then Danhausen disappears.



Roman Reigns heads to the ring. As Roman demands the crowd acknowledge him, CM Punk shows up and heads to the ring. CM Punk says that Roman made a "smear campaign" in the show's cold open and states that Roman can be judge, jury and executioner as he tells his truth, then states "Tell me when I'm telling lies." Punk heads towards the ring, but Punk says that if he enters the ring, they will not need microphones. Punk stands at the apron and states that he hates Roman because he envies him, and says the only dream that he has ever had in his heart and all he ever wanted was handed to Roman. Punk says he hates that Roman was champion for 1,316 days and the number of times that he main evented WrestleMania. As he hates that he envies Roman, he talks about how he respected Sika as well as the old-timers, and hates that he mentioned his father's name in vain and apologizes to Roman for it. Punk says that he hates that there is more than one royal family and that he was not born into it and has no idea what that life is like. He says he was born in the streets of Chicago, Illinois and had to find his own family in the fans. Punk says he found his family in the indies, travelled the world twice and busted his ass to make pro wrestling his home and his family, and hates that he has to share this main event WrestleMania match with Roman. Punk says that at Saturday, he has gold on his shoes and around his waist, and when it is all over, he will have gold above his head as he retains the World Heavyweight Championship while the fans chant "CM Punk." Roman says that this is "the truest stuff he heard [Punk] say...up until the end," then says he hates Punk and has hated him for a long time, but it is because of Punk's relationship with the fans. He hopes that when he leaves, the fans miss him as much as they missed Punk and chant for him for ten years straight, and that the connection Punk has is the one thing he really has, and it cannot be taken away from him. He then says that Punk's truth is not reality and that time will be up for him at WrestleMania, and that he will become the new World Heavyweight Champion. He says that the experiment and nostalgia act is done, and that the Punk problem will be fixed and he will take back over, and the world will acknowledge him.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 6, 2026

CM Punk makes his way to the ring to start tonight's show. Punk says he has a history of things that happened and things that should have happened in the building. He mentions Paul Boesch and states that he loves to hear about "the old-timers" and how they would operate in times like this. Punk mentions that Roman Reigns is not here tonight, and talks about how Roman powerbombed him through the announce table with the help of The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and strutted out like the king of the world, and he hoped to get his revenge and he got his receipt. He mentions that he put Roman through the announce table before mentioning that Roman hates him, which means that he has Roman where he wants him to be. Punk says being hated by losers is the price to pay for not being one of them. Punk says he gets why Roman hates him, then says the feeling is mutual as he states that they have the tools to reach the top. He then says his tools are self-made and sharpened to a point due to the work he has done while Roman's tools are store-bought, hand-delivered and plastic. He says he used to be too young to understand, but he is now too hold to give a damn, and says TKO has Roman represent WWE in the ring because he is fake, manufactured and saccharine while he is dangerous. Punk says he can do numerous TV appearances and still make it to the show while Roman uses them as a crutch and an excuse not to show up, and when he does show up, he shows up late and leaves early with his chest puffed up like he is The Rock. Punk says that The Rock was a Hollywood superstar just like Roman was a champion, but that dream is over because this is wrestling and not cinema. Punk says he does not have a cousin on the board of directors and a bunch of yes men who shield him from the truth, and that he has earned everything he was worked for while Roman ate dog food from a weird old man. He says that weird old man treated him like a dog for years, but he had "F-U money" and walked out on him, and he cannot be controlled. Punk says Roman can brag about how many times he has been at WrestleMania, yet if anyone talked about how Roman sucked at the first eight of them. Punk says he cannot be blackballed, because he can blow up a bridge and survive because he knows how to swim. Punk says that "everyone is getting it tonight," and even calls out Pat McAfee for thinking he can come to his business and run his mouth when he cashed a check that his narrow ass cannot cash. He tells McAfee to tell his agent who shoehorned him into the show to lower the ticket prices, as he will be damned if someone who kicked a football for a living talked to him about selling tickets and putting asses in seats, as McAfee has a receipt coming to him. Punk then demands the ticket prices be lowered so that whole families can see him standing on Roman Reigns' throat at WrestleMania. Afterwards, Punk spends some time with the first four rows opposite the hard cam.



We see footage of LA Knight showing up unexpectedly on iShowSpeed's recent livestream and attacking him. We then see iShowSpeed backstage looking for Danhausen, and he soon finds him. iShowSpeed begs for Danhausen to lift the curse, and Danhausen wants his mountain as payment for undoing the curse. When General Manager Adam Pearce shows up, Danhausen disappears, and Pearce tells iShowSpeed he should go home and let The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) hash things out. The Vision shows up, and Theory tells iShowSpeed to listen to them instead. iShowSpeed is about to leave, but Logan tells him that the only safe space is with them, and The Vision bring iShowSpeed to the ring as Pearce says this is a terrible idea.





Austin Theory beats LA Knight after Knight goes after iShowSpeed when Logan Paul shoves iShowSpeed into him. iShowSpeed runs away from Knight only for The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) to show up. iShowSpeed jumps over Knight and tries to run away, but gets caught. Logan Paul distracts Knight, and when Knight knocks Logan Paul off the apron, Theory pins Knight with a schoolkid pin for the win. After the match, LA Knight and The Usos confronts iShowSpeed, then The Usos go for the 1D on iShowSpeed only for Logan Paul to make the save. LA Knight calls for General Manager Adam Pearce before The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) and iShowSpeed can leave, and proposes a six-man tag match between the team of himself and The Usos and the team of iShowSpeed and The Vision. Pearce tells iShowSpeed he should have stayed home, but now he is going to WrestleMania, and it is official.





Grayson Waller and Kofi Kingston are seen arguing in the background as Finn Balor makes his way to the ring for the next match.

Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh ends before it begins thanks to a cheap shot from behind by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Finn Balor is able to fend them off, but Dominik blasts Finn Balor with the AAA Mega Championship before attacking him with a metal folding chair.



We see a brief video package for AJ Lee. We then see Michael Cole's interview with AJ Lee from earlier today. As AJ Lee says it is surreal to be back at WrestleMania, however, Becky Lynch interrupts the interview to insult Michael Cole. Michael says he does not need this and leaves, and this becomes a confrontation between AJ Lee and Becky. Becky says she remembered AJ Lee's final WrestleMania, and mentioned that AJ Lee came off as fake and saw her as her replacement. She tells AJ Lee that she will not have home field advantage at WrestleMania, because WrestleMania is her home. AJ Lee dares Becky to keep underestimating her, then says she is proud of Becky Lynch and everything she has done for the locker room. She then says that none of it happened without her, because she shattered the glass ceiling and knocked the walls down for her. She says that WWE kept calling her and that the fans never forgot her, then says she is not only her favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler, but also her daughter's favorite wrestler. Becky is angry after AJ Lee says she will see her at WrestleMania and leaves.



Bayley beats Lash Legend. During the match, Nia Jax trips Bayley on the outside, and when Nia slams Lyra Valkyria into the apron when Lyra goes after her, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss show up and attack Nia. Nia takes Charlotte, Alexa and Nia out with a splash to the outside, but Lash Legend catches up with Bayley when Bayley heads back to the top rope. Lash hits a Superplex, but Lyra grabs Lash by the feet and keep them held down so that Bayley can get the pin and the win.

We see a preview of Hulk Hogan: Real American, a brand-new documentary about Hulk Hogan coming to Netflix on April 22nd.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring. Rollins says he has been gone for six months and has been waiting to hear the fans again, and the fans sing his theme before Rollins declares that he is back. He then talks about his match with Gunther at WrestleMania, admitting that there is no long history or personal issue between the two of them before concluding that Gunther has entered a business relationship with "The Oracle" Paul Heyman. Rollins says he has two missions: take back the World Heavyweight Championship, and kill The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory). He mentions Logan Paul and Austin Theory's blood feud with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso), saying it will not end well, then mentions that Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed are on the shelf and that Brock Lesnar is on a silver platter for Oba Femi to Heyman's chagrin thanks to him. Rollins says that if Gunther is acting as a business partner and a shield for Heyman, then it has become business for Gunther and personal for him. All of a sudden, Gunther gets in the ring, but Rollins counters Gunther's sleeper with one of his own. Gunther avoids The Stomp, but throws Rollins over the announce table only for Rollins to hit him with the ground and pound. Officials have to separate both men, and that allows Gunther to boot Rollins in the face before he is forced to the back. Backstage, Gunther notices Heyman and smiles. Heyman says he does not know why Gunther did what he did at Madison Square Garden, as there is nothing personal between him and Rollins, then says he owes him a very big "thank you." Gunther says he is glad it is personal for Rollins, as it is also personal for him for the reasons he is thinking of. Gunther and Heyman then shake hands, then Gunther says Heyman owes him so much more than a very big "thank you."





We hear from Stephanie Vaquer, who says that Liv Morgan is not as clever as she thinks she is. She then says that if Liv Morgan wants to play dirty, she will play dirty. Vaquer says Liv talks a lot but says nothing, claims to run Raw, and handles her daddy issues with a pathetic excuse of a man who is jealous of his own father's success. Vaquer says she inspires girls everywhere to forge their own paths. She says that if Liv says it is on sight, then Liv will not see her coming, and at WrestleMania, she will not get her hands on the Women's World Championship, as she will take Liv where nobody can follow.

We see a brief scene of what looks like young dancers on chairs, similar to a music video. It only lasts a few seconds before we see Je'Von Evans' entrance.

Penta, Dragon Lee and Je'Von Evans beat Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Rey Mysterio heads to the ring and says it is an honor to see Penta's career take off as WWE Intercontinental Championship, stating that his ladder match in WrestleMania has the potential to be one of the best in history. He says that he missed last year's WrestleMania due to injury, then says that he has spoken with General Manager Adam Pearce regarding this year's WrestleMania. He says that the ladder match is missing one more person: himself. Penta then says to Rey Mysterio "Let's make history."





We hear from Asuka. She says that she and Iyo Sky were once a family, but Iyo tried to take everything rom her. She says that Iyo destroyed what they had and tore their family apart even after everything she did for her and Kairi Sane. She never expected Iyo to thank her, as she did everything for her out of love. Now she realizes she loved Iyo too much, as she took advantage of her kindness and used her, and now, she must pay. Asuka says she will always be Iyo's senpai, and as senpai, she will teach her one last painful lesson in the ring and take everything from her.

Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky beat "Michin" Mia Yim and B-Fab after Iyo pins B-Fab with a surprise victory roll. After the match, Michin and B-Fab gang up on Iyo Sky as Jade Cargill directs traffic, and Rhea Ripley shows up as Michin gets in the ring with a shinai and cleans house only to be laid out with a pump kick by Cargill. Michin and B-Fab hold Rhea down in the corner, and Rhea dares Cargill to hit her before Cargill grabs the shinai and striking Iyo Sky instead while Rhea is forced to watch. Cargill then hits Iyo Sky with Jaded before she, Michin and B-Fab leave.



We hear from Finn Balor. He says that he brought the beating from earlier tonight on himself, and hoped that he would do things the easy way. Unfortunately, he taught "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh how to play dirty, then says playtime is over and that Dominik is about to see a side of him that he thought he would never come back. He says that side of him is back, and at WrestleMania, it is coming for Dominik. Backstage, The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez) briefly talk about Finn Balor before mentioning their plans to bring new championship gold to the faction. Dominik and McDonagh leave, then Roxanne Perez meets up with Liv and Raquel. Raquel leaves, then Liv thanks Roxanne for her help before stating there is an elephant in the room with Roxanne joining at Finn Balor's behest. As Liv said that what happened to Finn Balor had to be done, she is suddenly shoved into Roxanne and thrown into the nearby television by Stephanie Vaquer.



WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque and General Manager Adam Pearce head to the ring for the contract signing between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar for their WrestleMania match. After the commercial break, Pearce says that the match will be a true clash between two titans before Paul Heyman suddenly shows up and hypes the match up as "one of the most anticipated WrestleMania matches in decades, if not ever." Heyman then introduces Brock Lesnar as "the conqueror of the ruler," stating that the ruler cannot measure up. Heyman and Lesnar then head to the ring, then Oba Femi is introduced. Oba Femi then makes his way to the ring. Oba stares down Lesnar from the apron, and Lesnar charges at Oba as he enters the ring. This leads to a brawl on the outside, and Pearce quickly calls for security as both men brawl. Both men are separated in opposite corners, and security has to go through hell to separate both men again as one keeps lunging at the other with a splash in the corner. Lesnar throws a chair at Oba, but Oba tosses it back at Lesnar. The show then ends.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 16, 2026

"The Oracle" Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and interrupts The Usos' (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) entrance at the start of tonight's show. Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision and interrupts The Usos' entrance at the start of tonight's show. Logan Paul has to take the mic, and says that he has a vision to host Raw in the most beautiful city in the United States, which is not Memphis, Tennessee. He then says that The Vision is here, regardless. Heyman has the footage from last week of the attack from the man in the black hoodie replayed, and Austin Theory says that last week's main event was his match to win. General Manager Adam Pearce and says playtime is over, and Theory gets incensed by Pearce's interruption and says Pearce screwed him. Pearce has none of it and tells The Vision to come back to his office and converse like gentlemen. Heyman says he wants Bronson Reed in the Elimination Chamber in exchange for Pearce getting his show back. Pearce says Bronson will have to earn his way in, and that he will be in a qualifier next week. As Pearce demands The Vision leave the ring, LA Knight shows up. LA Knight says the chickens have come home to roost and that Theory screwed himself, then says Bronson Reed is the next and hopes he can kick his ass. Logan Paul reminds Knight of the car Bronson Reed put him through, and then proposes that he not only kicks The Vision's asses, but he also teams up with The Usos to do it, even though they do not have the best history. General Manager Adam Pearce makes the match official.



The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) beat LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Logan Paul runs his mouth on a commentary headset only to receive The Stomp from the man in the black hoodie, who soon flees through the crowd.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce (who is accompanied by a worker played by "The Gold Standard" Eli Knox) notices a crate that says "Do not open until 02/28/26." Adam Pearce tells Eli (who actually says that his name is Eli in this segment) to send the crate to SmackDown. Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) show up, and El Grande Americano II is not happy that El Grande Americano I has qualified for the Elimination Chamber, and since he cannot qualify himself, he wants a match for the Intercontinental Championship. Pearce gives El Grande Americano II the opportunity to earn a shot tonight.

We hear from Bayley, Asuka and Nattie before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Asuka beats Bayley and Nattie by submission with an Asuka Lock to Bayley in a women's Elimination Chamber qualifier. After the match, Maxxine Dupri attacks Nattie on the stage, and referees have to break it up.





Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce asks Oba Femi to look through a Raw contract, then tells him that "Raw needs a flagship." Oba says he needs time to decide, but Pearce tells him to take all the time he needs. On his way out, Oba Femi runs into Rusev, and both men have a staredown before Oba Femi leaves.

We see Michael Cole's interviews with Liv Morgan. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio joins in as Liv Morgan announces she will not rush her WrestleMania main event decision and that she will take longer to decide, and that she will not let this moment pass her by. Stephanie Vaquer shows up and confronts Liv Morgan. Vaquer speaks Spanish the entire that she confronts Liv Morgan, and Dominik has to translate for Liv as Vaquer makes it clear she wants a piece of Liv at WrestleMania. Liv breaks down in tears after Vaquer leaves, and Liv and Dominik leave the room. (Vaquer's speech to Liv is translated, as follows: "Did you say ten years of hard work? What are you talking about? You’ve sacrificed nothing. WWE gave you everything. The best training, the best medical, you were given everything. You want to talk about sacrifice? I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn’t exist. And now I’ve traveled all over the world. Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Europe. And I’ve conquered everything. You should be ashamed because you need to hide behind The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez). It’s sad because you need to hide behind a man. But let me tell you something. I went through hell and made it mine. Everything I did was to get to WWE and become champion. This title to me means more than just a title. It’s for all the little girls, all the women who never got the opportunity and overcome anyway. Liv, if you pick me, you won’t win. Because I’m going to show you what a real champion is." Vaquer apologizes the next day for her promo for the "I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn't exist" line, stating that professional wrestling was not developed at the time that she got started, and states that it was a mistake in wording during the broadcast.)



CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that General Manager Adam Pearce thinks he is jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania, but Punk feels he is making things better and says that the fans deserve a fighting champion. He also states that Finn Balor deserves another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship because he deserves it as much as he deserves the ass beating he is about to give him for ruining the last time he got to share the ring with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Punk admits that while the office is pissed off at him, he does and says things that piss people off, saying he would not be who and what he is if he did not do that. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and heads to the ring. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not far behind, and neither is a returning JD McDonagh. Punk is about to use the microphone as a weapon as the three of them circle the ring. Finn Balor says they are not out here to fight, and that he wants to make one thing crystal clear. He says that to be the best in the world, you must train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe, learn from the best luchadors in Mexico, survive the toughest dojos in Japan, and show up your first night on Raw and beat Roman Reigns. Finn Balor says he is the best in the world, and when he wins the World Heavyweight Championship, he will not be jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania; instead, he will be making it better. Punk wants to know why McDonagh and Dominik are here, then says he knew who Finn Balor was and that Finn Balor did all he just bragged about by himself, and says that Finn Balor used to mean something. He says that The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) has been an anchor around his neck for some time and has only dragged him down to their level, as Dominik wears two titles he never defends and McDonagh needs help getting in the ring because his head is so big. This leads to a "bobblehead" chant, and admits that he is a smart man who does dumb things. Punk turns his back and dares the three of them to jump him from behind, saying that if Finn attacks, he will jeopardize his shot at being champion. He also says that while he does not need to prove he is the best in the world, maybe Finn Balor does. CM Punk leaves the ring and tosses his microphone towards Finn Balor, who has to hold JD McDonagh back.



Backstage, Byron Saxon interviews Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Rhea says the road to WrestleMania is always a battle and last Friday was no exception. She says that Nia Jax and Lash Legend got carried away and failed to take their titles, and now they have to take them out. As Iyo Sky speaks, The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Kairi Sane says that Asuka is in the Elimination Chamber and that they will make sure Rhea and Iyo never win and that Asuka is champion. Asuka tells Rhea that she is not ready for the Elimination Chamber.

El Grande Americano II's opponent is revealed to be Penta.

Penta beats El Grande Americano II in a WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 contender's match. During the match, Rayo Americano distracts the referee so that Bravo Americano can hand El Grande Americano II the steel plate for his mask, but Bravo gets dragged underneath the ring. Rayo goes to save Bravo, but ends up pulling El Grande Americano I out of the ring. After the match, El Grande Americano I beats El Grande Americano II up and hits him with the Chaos Theory, then goes for an unmasking as El Grande Americano II tries to roll out of the ring. Rayo and Bravo save El Grande Americano II.



Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez walks off with Liv Morgan, then JD McDonagh tells Finn Balor that he is walking into CM Punk's hands. Finn says he has to prove to himself that he can do this, and McDonagh says he is trying to help him. Finn tells McDonagh that if he wants to help, then he needs to let him beat Punk alone. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is caught in the middle.

AJ Lee heads to the ring. She talks about how she walked in last week for moral support and walked out #1 contender for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. AJ says she had fun getting under Becky Lynch's skin, but was reminded this was serious business after being sent into a ring post. She says she has not had a singles match, let alone a shot at a title, in more than a decade, and that things have changed since the last time she was a champion, there was just one title. AJ says she loved the Divas Championship because she made that championship. She admits that she is not modest and that she knows who she is, and that the women's division that happened after she left was her gift to them. AJ says she wants to face the best of the best, but for now, all roads lead back to Becky. She says that Becky is mad at her for so many reasons, then says it is not her fault because she gave Becky a ten-year head start and Becky has failed to catch up. AJ then says that without Becky, she would not have had a reason to come back and prove that she can still be a champion, and states that if she walks out of Elimination Chamber victorious, then she is walking into WrestleMania as champion. She then calls out Becky Lynch if Becky is in the mood for a fight. Becky Lynch shows up and says this is just an opportunity for AJ to gather family and friends together for a retirement match she never had and never deserved. She says that AJ Lee's real gift was leaving, and that she has been making history while AJ Lee has been making comic books. Becky tells AJ Lee that if she can make it through Elimination Chamber, she can dictate on her computer about her match with her and maybe her comic book can actually sell. AJ Lee dares Becky Lynch to get into the ring so they can throw hands right now, but Becky says she is not stupid and knows that AJ Lee will sucker punch her, but AJ Lee lets Becky take the first shot. Becky gets in the ring and AJ Lee dares Becky to swing at her with her hands behind her back, but Becky says she knows the game that AJ Lee is playing. Becky refuses and leaves the ring, sayings he does not fight in Memphis, Tennessee.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is talking with a security guard (played by Gio Savage) when he sees The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) at his office doors. Paul Heyman has to hold Austin Theory back, then tells Theory and Logan Paul to head to the jet before demanding something be done about the masked man in the black hoodie. Pearce says the masked man is as much of a problem for him as it is for Heyman, then Bronson Reed says he solves problems and that he will take care of the masked man and win in the Elimination Chamber.

Next week: a tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!



We hear from Gunther, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Je'Von Evans before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Je'Von Evans beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Gunther in a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier. During the match, Gunther confronts "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio on the outside for having the ring bell hammer as a potential weapon only to be smacked with the ring bell from the top of the barricade by Dragon Lee. Dominik hits the 619 on Je'Von Evans back in the ring only to miss the top rope frog splash, and Je'Von hits Dominik with the OG Cutter to win the match and qualify.
