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.

The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu) are seen arriving to the arena in two black SUV's.

WBC Welterweight World Champion Ryan Garcia is seen in the front row.

The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) beats Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) after Logan Paul distracts the referee, allowing Theory to get the knees up to block Tozawa's top rope senton. 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.

Je'Von Evans beats Rusev after escaping the Accolade twice.



We look at "Chapter VII: Old Ghosts," which chronicles what happened between Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

Joe Hendry and Danhausen perform a concert in the ring regarding their feud with The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh). The Minihausens join in to dance and play tambourine, and "The Clipperhausens" (really the Los Angeles Clippers dance team) dance at ringside. WBC Welterweight Champion Ryan Garcia jumps the line and joins the ringside dancers before playing guitar in the ring. When Joe Hendry turns his back after noticing Garcia, Garcia hits Hendry from behind with the guitar before JD McDonagh and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio show up and lay out Danhausen. Dominik and McDonagh celebrate with Ryan Garcia.



We hear from Penta. He says that he is glad Chad Gable changed, but forgiveness does not erase the past and winning the International Championship will not earn him redemption.

Actor Harry Jowsey, actor and TV host Mario Lopez, actor and rapper O'Shea Jackson Jr., and actor Ashton Kutcher are seen in the crowd.

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 a video package of a brief history of the Hell in a Cell Match.

Raquel Rodriguez beats Sol Ruca to become the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship! During the match, Roxanne Perez runs out to the ring and is taken out by Sol Ruca. Liv Morgan shows up and yanks at Sol Ruca from the outside behind the referee's back, and that allows Raquel to hit a big boot. Iyo Sky shows up and goes at it with Liv Morgan, hitting her with the Bullet Train Attack into the ring post. Sol Ruca then goes for the Soul Snatcher on Raquel only to be yanked down by Roxanne, and Raquel hits the Tejana Bomb for the pin, the win and the championship.



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.

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 July 6, 2026

Backstage, Sami Zayn arrives for tonight's show and meets with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Sami says that Cody thinks he will beat him, then tells him that this is not happening and that he is walking out of the ring as champion. Cody tells Sami that he will be the one that wins, and when Sami says "We'll see about that" and leaves, Cody is suddenly attacked by Gunther. Gunther then tells Sami that he, not Cody, is his problem now and that his championship victory is a fluke. He then says that he will come after him, then boots Cody into Sami's car and bloodies him up to show Sami what will happen when he does.



Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins welcomes everyone to tonight's show in Chicago, Illinois, then everyone starts chanting for CM Punk. Rollins tells everyone that he could care less about Punk right now. Rollins states that his business is beating Roman Reigns and getting back the World Heavyweight Championship that he never lost at SummerSlam. He then says that Roman is not here either because he felt it not important to be here or "the check wasn't big enough." He says that Reigns has been "the chosen one" from day one and that nobody wants to hold him responsible. He goes on to say that The Shield debuted as a trio, yet it was clear that Reigns would be the chosen one. Rollins says that it did not matter how good Reigns was at anything, from cutting a promo to wrestling his way out of a paper bag, he would be the star. He says that did not sit well with him, and says that since he was a boy like the kids in the front row, he wanted to be a star. He says that did not sit well with him, and says that since he was a boy like the kids in the front row, he wanted to be a star. Rollins says that seeing his dream to be a star handed to someone else broke something in him. Rollins says he broke up The Shield so he could catch up to and stay close to Roman Reigns, and while he admits it was petty, he believed that if he worked hard and believed in himself, he could still achieve those dreams. He felt that he and Reigns were running the same race, but now he knows he is mistaken. Rollins then mentions Reigns admitting that he worked ten times less than him and made ten times more than him with such bravado it made him want to puke. Rollins says it was not about the money or the mansion, but the work, the hustle, the grind and the ability to make something of himself. He says that Reigns has to beat him at SummerSlam because he needs to justify what he has been trying to prove to himself for the last fifteen years: that he is not a fraud. Rollins then says that he has to beat Reigns just as much to prove to his younger self that through hard work, sacrifice and dreams, one can achieve greatness. Suddenly, Rollins is interrupted by LA Knight. LA Knight makes his way to the ring, and Knight says that there is no way that he is going to listen to this again after boring everyone to sleep with Reigns two weeks ago, then says that Reigns and Rollins bloviate each other and talk about their greatness. He says that this somehow got Rollins a title shot, even though he lost in the first round of the King of the Ring Tournament just like he did, and says that the difference between himself and Rollins is that he is not making a claim for nostalgia's sake. Knight says that Rollins has had so many world title shots that he will not be able to catch him, then states that while business was picking up, he was the one on top. He says that while he made his climb, The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn) and The Vision (Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) both cut him off. He says that Rollins and Reigns are trying to push him back down to the bottom, but they cannot do it, and says that while they are great at keeping people down, he will rise because he must. Rollins asks Knight if he is done, then tells Knight that while he does not like him, he does respect him, as he is a shining example of everything that he just described - hard work, grind, and hustle - and believes his time will come. He then says he cannot worry about Knight, for he must take back the title he never lost, and if Knight wants it, he can be the first person he puts in the dirt. As Rollins leaves, Jimmy Uso gets in the ring and superkicks Knight for talking about his family the moment that Knight turns around.





Backstage, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce kicks Gunther out of the building, and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis also shows up. This leads to both men arguing, and Aldis blaming Pearce for Cody Rhodes potentially being injured.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The Vision. Logan Paul is about to speak when Paul Heyman arrives and shoes Cathy away. Heyman tells Breakker that he did not take out Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Theory that he did not take out Joe Hendry, then tells them to come back with something worthy of him or not to come back to him at all.

The Vision (Bron Breakker and Austin Theory) beat The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) to win the World Tag Team Championships for a second time after Angelo Dawkins is about to use Logan Paul's brass knuckles as Logan Paul distracts the referee only for Maxxine Dupri to show up and hit Dawkins from behind with a low blow. After the match, Maxxine Dupri and Austin Theory make out at the bottom of the ramp.



Backstage, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is at medical. Cody insists that he is fine, but the doctor insists that he needs some scans before he can consider clearing him after General Manager Adam Pearce shows up.

Backstage, The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and Maxxine Dupri celebrate taking back the World Tag Team Championships. Paul Heyman shows up and says it is only the first step, but something has been accomplished tonight. Theory thanks Heyman, then says that he was referring to Maxxine. The Vision and Maxxine then leave in a black SUV. As this goes on, Akira Tozawa and Otis come out of hiding from behind, now knowing what Maxxine is up to.

Backstage, Liv Morgan says that The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh) will do everything in its power to ensure Raquel Rodriguez walks out as Women's Intercontinental Championship. Raquel says that she will rip the title off of Sol Ruca and make the title hers.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Penta, who is excited to see who will face him next for the Intercontinental Championship when "All Ego" Ethan Page and Rusev. Ethan and Rusev brag about putting Rey Mysterio on the shelf, then Dragon Lee shows up to stand up for Penta. When Rusev tells Dragon Lee to learn English before he crushes him, Chad Gable then joins Penta and Dragon Lee, and Ethan and Rusev soon walk away.

Sol Ruca retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Raquel Rodriguez after Iyo Sky shows up and takes out both Roxanne Perez and Iyo Sky after they both get involved in the match.



Paul Heyman is in the ring. Heyman addresses Oba Femi, saying he walked into WWE like he owned the placed and sauntered to the ring until he was kicked in the groin by Brock Lesnar, then says that this will be nothing compared to the pain he will suffer inside Hellin a Cell. He says that Oba Femi has inspired, compelled and motivated Brock Lesnar to become "The Beast" and made the biggest mistake of his life by accepting Lesnar's challenge, then says Oba will not come out of Hell in a Cell when Lesnar destroys him. As Heyman leaves, Oba Femi makes his entrance so he can give Heyman a face to talk to. Heyman says he is valuable because he prevents people from making bad mistakes, and says Oba made a bad mistake. Heyman reminds Oba of who he is stepping into Hell in a Cell with Brock Lesnar by mentioning Lesnar's Hell in a Cell accomplishments, then tells Oba that he has entered "The Brocktagon," where he says Lesnar is unbeatable. He says that only one man will leave Hell in a Cell with their reputation intact as the truly unbeatable Superstar in WWE, and that the one man will be Brock Lesnar. Oba mentions that Lesnar showing up last week proved that everything he said about Lesnar got under Lesnar's skin and that Lesnar watches the show, then mentions that Heyman talks about how great Lesnar is and says that he is just "a mouth" for Lesnar. He says that mouths need to be fed, but one cannot be fed if one has no head, and says Heyman is only here because he is scared and because of damage control. Oba says that a man knows when his time has come, and that this is the end for Heyman and Lesnar. Oba says he will beat Lesnar in front of his family and his children, then says one must walk through Hell to get to Heaven and tells Heyman to tell Lesnar that he will see him in Hell.





Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Sami Zayn. When Sami Zayn finds out that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is no longer able to compete tonight, Sami is surprised, saying that while they have their differences, he does not wish ill on Cody, who he wanted to test himself against. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and tells Sami Zayn to prepare to defend the WWE Championship, as he has promised a championship match tonight.

We see footage of El Grande Americano at the England vs. Mexico match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with AAA ring announcer Andrea Bazarte.

"All Ego" Ethan Page and Rusev beat Chad Gable and Dragon Lee by submission with an Accolade from Rusev to Dragon Lee. After the match, Chad Gable gets in the ring as Rusev refuses to let go of the Accolade. Gable deadlifts Rusev from behind only to be attacked by Ethan Page, and Rusev then puts the Accolade on Gable while Ethan goes on the attack. Joe Hendry shows up and fends off both Rusev and Ethan, but Rusev hits the Machka Kick on Hendry as Hendry goes for the Standing Ovation on Ethan. Ethan hits Hendry with the Ego-Plex, then Rusev puts Hendry in the Accolade. Officials have to get in the ring and make Rusev break the hold, but that nearly leads to Rusev going back on the attack.



Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Jimmy Uso as Jimmy makes his way out. Jimmy says it is time for him to step up, and that he will take care of Solo Sikoa on SmackDown. LA Knight shows up and confronts Jimmy only to be attacked by Jacob Fatu.

We hear from Bayley, who says that she watched Lyra Valkyria grow as a performer and also credits Lyra Valkyria with keeping her level-headed. She says that she never had a reason to question her trust in her after sharing everything with her, and cannot understand why Lyra could not just talk to her instead of taking the easy way out. Bayley then tells Lyra to meet her face-to-face next week.



Backstage, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce is on the phone when SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis shows up and tells him that he has secured a replacement for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, and that this Superstar is in the building.

We hear from "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, who tells Danhausen that if he thought last week was bad, then he should wait until Saturday Night's Main Event, as McDonagh will dance on Danhausen's head regardless of who his back-up is. Dominik demands that Danhausen give them the money and uncurse McDonagh, or else The Judgment Day will make his life a living hell.

Sami Zayn's opponent is revealed to be CM Punk, who has not been seen since losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns.



CM Punk beats Sami Zayn to win the Undisputed WWE Championship for the third time, making him an eight-time world champion overall, after Sami Zayn is unable to hit the Helluva Kick and CM Punk hits Sami Zayn with a GTS. Sami Zayn's reign as Undisputed WWE Champion ends after just nine days, becoming the shortest reign since The Miz lost the title to Bobby Lashley in 2021. After the match, CM Punk celebrates in the crowd.

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.

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.

Jey asks what the plan is, and Jacob says that they wait for Solo to cross the line.

Backstage, Danhausen is met by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Dominik says that they want their money, and Danhausen says that he spent it on his experiment. McDonagh says that they either get their $100,000 back or they will take the experiment. Danhausen curses McDonagh, who then grabs the experiment only to shock himself. This allows Danhausen to quickly disappear.



LA Knight beats Jimmy Uso. During the match, Solo Sikoa shows up out of the crowd and hits Jimmy Uso with a Samoan Spike, which allows LA Knight to hit the BFT for the win.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).

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.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 11, 2026

Roman Reigns is met by General Manager Adam Pearce as he enters the building. Pearce is considering firing Jacob Fatu, but Roman wants Jacob to acknowledge him in the ring, especially since he was the one to bring him here. Roman then heads to his dressing room.

The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Heyman praises Breakker's win over Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and says that Rollins is the one who is not ready, as he was not ready Breakker's physical onslaught and not ready for his wisdom, and Rollins will never be ready to have a vision of victory over The Vision. Heyman allows Theory to air his grievances. Theory addresses The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), who keep putting their nose in The Vision's business and need the tag team titles "because Bianca [Belair] can't pay the bills anymore." As Theory mentions Joe Hendry, The Street Profits show up. Montez says that since Bianca is busy with the baby, somebody had to come to Raw to beat The Vision's asses all over Knoxville, Tennessee. He also says that The Street Profits have returned for the World Tag Team Championships and that they are always up and wanting the smoke. Logan Paul says The Street Profits are a legendary team, but they are old news and have done nothing but organize a baby shower for the last six months. He also says that Bianca is better than Montez for stating that The Vision is always ready. All of a sudden, Joe Hendry shows up with his guitar and sings about getting Logan Paul fired again before the show goes to a commercial break.



The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and Joe Hendry beat The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) in a six-man tag match after Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up and stops Breakker's attempt at a Spear on the outside behind the referee's back, allowing Angelo Dawkins to pin Bron Breakker with a schoolkid pin for the win. After the match, Theory attacks Dawkins, but Rollins makes the save. He then helps Dawkins up, but Breakker takes out Dawkins with a Spear. As The Vision regroups, Montez confronts Rollins for Dawkins getting hurt.



General Manager Adam Pearce gets to know Los Americanos Hermanos' (Bruto and Julio) names, then Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio show up wanting to know is next for Dominik. El Grande Americano I takes offense to the interruption, and Dominik says El Grande Americano I is not a real luchador. This leads to Pearce putting Dominik in a match against El Grande Americano I with the AAA Mega Championship on the line. Afterwards, Los Garzas (Angel and Berto) shows up asking Pearce for an opportunity.

Penta heads to the ring. Penta says that heard about "All Ego" Ethan Page talking about the Intercontinental Championship, and dares Ethan Page to say it to his face. Ethan Page shows up, says that Penta painted his face and put it under a mask to hide his identity while he is who he says he is. He also talks about how he pinned Penta in the middle of the ring last week, which makes him #1 contender, and says that Penta is afraid to lose to him again. Penta says he is not afraid to defend his title against him and that they can go right now, and Ethan says that while Penta is ready to go, he is not, then mentions the prestige of the Intercontinental title and says it needs the spotlight it deserves. Ethan then challenges Penta for the title at Saturday Night's Main Event, and Penta says that he is ready for the world and will face Ethan any time, anywhere. All of a sudden, Rusev shows up and tells Ethan Page that he is next in line for the title and tells Ethan to watch what he says, but Ethan says that he has talked to General Manager Adam Pearce and says he is the new guy while Ruev has been here longer. As Ethen says that even Je'Von Evans has said that he cannot beat Rusev, Je'Von Evans shows up to take on the rumor that he said that (he did not), then gets accosted and attacked by Rusev and Ethan. This starts a brawl where Je'Von and Penta come out on top.



Je'Von Evans beats Rusev.



Members of the Tennessee Volunteers college football teams are seen in the front row.

We see a video package for the AAA Mega Championship.

Backstage, Iyo Sky is met by Asuka. The two of them hug, and Asuka says she was looking for someone to take over her position and that Iyo Sky became that person, and she is so glad it was Iyo. Iyo says that even if they fight, they will always be family. Iyo then says goodbye to Asuka, who says "See you later" before leaving the building with her suitcase.



Brie Bella and Paige head to the ring. Brie addresses The Judgment Day's (Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez) proposition that they come to Raw, and says that they are here. Paige says they are ready for a fight, and Brie wants The Judgment Day to come to the ring. Raquel and Roxanne head to the ring, and Raquel welcomes them to Raw before Roxanne talks about how she saw Brie and Paige on TV while they were still young and relevant, and how she met the both of them as a young girl. She says that Brie set the bar so low as to expect her to continue the Bella legacy. Brie says that she has her confused with Liv Morgan and wanted Roxanne to make her own legacy, then says that Roxanne's mom is disappointed with her. Raquel tells Brie and Paige to save them the embarrassment and hand them the women's tag team titles, as they do not deserve them. Paige strikes Raquel with one of the titles, starting a brawl. Liv Morgan shows up and hits Paige with a Codebreaker, and the numbers game takes over before Liv, Raquel and Rodriguez celebrate.



Backstage, Roman Reigns is met by Jimmy Uso. Jimmy says that "Main Event" Jey Uso is waiting for Jacob Fatu to dissuade him from coming to the ring. Jimmy asks Roman to move on from Jacob, but Roman says they had a deal and that Jacob signed on the line. Roman says that if Jacob Fatu does not respect him, then no one else will, and Jacob will be out of here. Jimmy says he will find Jey.

We hear from "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, who says that he has held the AAA Mega Championship for eight months and has not only become king of the luchadors, but has outdone everything Rey Mysterio has ever done. He says that El Grande Americano will never get his hands on his title.

Backstage, Iyo Sky meets with Sol Ruca. Iyo says that Sol is the future and that they will fight again one day. Iyo leaves, then Becky Lynch shows up and says that Sol cannot beat Iyo and that the lights are too bright for her.

Before the next match, Oba Femi declares that the open challenge has begun, then General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and says nobody was willing to answer the challenge and that the open challenge is cancelled for tonight. Oba Femi leaves the ring and heads to the back, saying that everyone is a coward, then finds and grabs Angel, throws him into Berto, and carries the both of them into the ring.

Oba Femi quickly beats Los Garza (Angel and Berto) in a two-on-one handicap match in the Oba Femi Open Challenge.



We hear from El Grande Americano I, who says that the AAA Mega Championship is a title of prestige and belongs around his waist, as "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not prestigious. He says that the Mega title will soon be around his waist.

Backstage, Finn Balor attacks JD McDonagh as he accompanies "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to the ring and takes him out of commission.



"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio retains the AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano I. During the match, Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) distract both the referee and El Grande Americano I, and Los Americanos Hermanos (Julio and Bruto) show up and even the numbers game. El Grande Americano I goes for El Grande Americano II's mask, and that allows Dominik to hit the 619 and the top rope splash to win and retain.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Logan says that if he has to listen to Joe Hendry's song one more time, he will "Vincent Van Gogh himself" and cut off his own ears. As Logan complains about the song, Theory wants Logan to relax. Logan and Theory then take a car out of the arena.

Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso head to the ring. It is not long before Jacob Fatu arrives, and "Main Event" Jey Uso tries to tell Jacob to think about this, as he will create a lot of problems for himself and his family is he does what he is about to do. Jacob responds by headbutting Jey and attacking him. Jacob then looks at the camera and tells Roman that he will have to beat the acknowledgment out of him before heading to the ring. Jacob lays Jimmy Uso out when Jimmy confronts him, then brawls with Roman in the ring and overpowers him until Roman counters a tope suicida attempt with a Superman Punch on the outside. Roman then produces a chair from underneath the ring and hits Jacob with it, but when he goes for a Spear, Jacob superkicks him before locking in the Tongan Death Grip and sending Roman out of the ring for a tope suicida. Jacob clears the announce table, and Roman hits Jacob with another Superman Punch. He goes for yet another Superman Punch, but Jacob puts Roman in another Tongan Death Grip and headbutts him before powerbombing him through the announce table. Officials finally make their way out, and Jacob locks the Tongan Death Grip on Roman again before officials force him to let go. That does not stop Jacob form trying again, and even tossing General Manager Adam Pearce away in the process. Jacob Fatu then lifts up the World Heavyweight Championship, then heads to the back before rushing back and plowing Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) through the barricade to end the show.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Stephanie McMahon makes a surprise appearance as Cody is about to get started with speaking to the fans to discuss the situation at hand regarding Cody, Randy Orton and WrestleMania, but admits Cody will not like what she has to say. She says that she, Cody and Orton are all multi-generational members of WWE history and that they understand the business better than most, and while Cody stayed on a golden path and has brought the best out of his business, he will not be able to do it with Orton. She says that this version of Orton is diabolical and that Cody will have to be able to think like Orton, and that Cody's father Dusty Rhodes knew better than anyone else and could get down and dirty with the best of them. She also says that Cody is not his father. Stephanie says that "this version of Cody Rhodes cannot beat this version of Randy Orton" and that Cody does not know how he is dealing with. Cody says he knows everything about Randy Orton and how Orton was the coal that became the diamond, the youngest world champion in WWE at one point, legend killer by merit, and at one point so violent that some of his own past actions cannot be shown today. Cody says that some of those actions happened to Stephanie and that he was there on the road with Orton to make sure he was still breathing after the matches he had been through. Stephanie slaps Cody in the face and says she is out here because she cares about him and that nobody is giving him guidance, and that this version of Orton is not only listening to the voices in his head, but also relishing them while listening to someone else. She then says that if Cody does not figure it out, WrestleMania will be the last time Cody is introduced as Undisputed WWE Champion. Cody stops Stephanie as she leaves, then thanks her and leaves himself.



Backstage, Danhausen shows up when iShowSpeed is talking with General Manager Adam Pearce, and a desperate iShowSpeed begs Danhausen to uncurse him.

Both teams argue, and when Lyra Valkyria gets between them, Nia Jax tosses her into both teams. The Bella Twins get taken out, and Charlotte and Alexa get in the ring.

Brock Lesnar and "The Oracle" Paul Heyman head to the ring. Brock Lesnar is in his wrestling gear compared to previous appearance. Heyman says he is here to pontificate on the perils that await Oba Femi, and states that Brock was caught off guard by Oba when he was distracted by Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, then says that Brock was not dressed to fight a week later and that Oba decided to pick a fight anyway. Heyman then notes that Lesnar is now dressed to fight, as Lesnar has authorized him to let everyone know that he has seen this for 25 years in WWE and UFC, and that when Lesnar beats someone up, they end up pissing all over themselves. Lesnar then grabs the microphone and immediately calls out Oba Femi, then General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with security and states that this will not be happening tonight. Pearce says that he is preserving his WrestleMania main events and is out here to do just that, then tells Heyman and Lesnar to leave the ring as Lesnar and Oba fighting tonight is not happening.

We hear from Finn Balor. He says The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) was a family as they ran Raw for four years, and in that time, he has made enemies and bad decisions, including thinking he could make a man out of "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. He credits Dominik with turning his family against him, but reminds Dominik that he turned to him when he turned against his father Rey Mysterio and that he stepped up for him. He says that Dominik lost the Intercontinental Championship not because of his actions, but because he is a self-centered jackass. Finn Balor says he created that jackass, and that he will destroy him at WrestleMania.



Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Kofi Kingston. During the match, Kofi keeps telling Grayson not to get involved on the match so that he can win the title on his own, and at one point, Grayson gives Kofi the "I told you so" treatment only to eat a Mexican Destroyer from Penta on the outside.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 23, 2026

Je'Von Evans is seen backstage with Internet livestream personality iShowSpeed before the beginning of the show.

Brock Lesnar and "The Oracle" Paul Heyman head to the ring to start tonight's show. Heyman introduces Lesnar, then the "Oba" chants begin. Heyman warns the crowd that they are pissing Lesnar off after Lesnar laid waste to twenty men only to be distracted by Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, causing "a overhyped wannabe ruler" to powerbomb Lesnar. Heyman asks how many times the same narrative has come out of the WWE hype machine regarding big men who will become "the slayer of The Beast" and Brock Lesnar's conquerer since Lesnar broke The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak. He says that The Undertaker never got revenge on Lesnar, then lists off those who were declared the one to beat Lesnar only to fall and declares that Oba Femi will be just like the rest, saying that Oba has peaked and that Oba will be beaten at WrestleMania. The lights go out, and Oba Femi makes his way to the ring. Oba and Lesnar have a staredown from the opposite ends to the ring to the center, and Lesnar kicks Oba in the gut and goes for an F5 only for Oba to slip out and clothesline him out of the ring.Lesnar is furious, and Heyman is surprised. Heyman holds Lesnar back as the two of them slowly heads towards the back. Lesnar tells Oba Femi that he is not that lucky.



We hear from "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, who says that his match with Penta tonight should not be happening, and if it were not for Finn Balor, he would still be Intercontinental Champion. He says that Finn got what he deserved, and warns Penta that this rematch will not go the same way as last time, for now he can focus and become the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, because he is the King of the Luchadors.

The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) beat The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) by disqualification after LA Knight shows up from out of the crowd to attack Logan Paul on the outside, allowing Jey Uso to get his hands on Logan's brass knuckles, which allows - and causes - Jey to punch Theory out in full view of the referee with a foreign object. After the match, Jey gets back in the ring and knocks Logan out with his right hand still in the brass knuckles.



Becky Lynch heads to the ring. Becky says she took ten months off because the fans got sick and tired of seeing her succeed and win world titles, and that she went home to her family who loves and appreciates her. She then says that she made a point when she came back by winning the Women's Intercontinental Championship and making it the most interesting and important title in all of wrestling, and says she is proud of the title and what she made it represent. Becky then says she has to watch AJ Lee prance around like she deserved the title, and when she returned to her sanctuary to take a break with the people she loved, her daughter was singing AJ Lee's theme and skipping around the house just like AJ. Becky states that even her daughter does not recognize that her mother is the greatest wrestler of all time, and states that AJ Lee's greatest claim to fame before that was defining the Divas era that she murdered just like she will do to AJ. AJ Lee shows up, and Becky retreats through the crowd as AJ approaches the ring. AJ wants to know what Becky will not fight her head on, and states that every time they have squared off, she has walked Becky like a dog. She then says that embarrassing Becky one more time and tapping her out at WrestleMania will be what it takes to get Becky away from her title and out of her life once and for all, and makes that match official with the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line. Becky states that AJ Lee has skipped right into her trap and has no idea what she is in for, and while AJ Lee can shine from Monday to Friday, WrestleMania is her domain. She also mentions AJ Lee leaving WWE after her last WrestleMania, and says that when she takes her title back, she will do AJ the favor and the world will never hear from AJ again.



Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) thank LA Knight for the assistance during their match, and LA Knight starts thinking that Jey is sounding like Roman Reigns. Jey takes exception to this, and Jimmy says that CM Punk is about to learn to keep their family's name out of his mouth.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by "The Oracle" Paul Heyman, who wants Pearce to schedule a street fight between The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) for the World Tag Team Championships next week in Madison Square Garden. Pearce makes it official, then tells Heyman to head to the ring to use his time to address Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Heyman acquiesces.

"The Oracle" Paul Heyman is in the ring. Heyman says he is having a really bad night, not just because of being relegated to a contractual appearance in Boston, Massachusetts after a 40-year career, but because there is no one left for him to hide behind. He says that Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed will not be coming back any time soon, Brock Lesnar is so pissed off that he left the building, and Logan Paul and Austin Theory are half-conscious while he is dealing with a stalker. He says that stalker is Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and that the both of them are men who have been pushed too far, which means that WWE is not big enough for the both of them. Heyman says this is not a challenge for a WrestleMania match or a challenge for tonight, and he asks what other choice he is left with than for Rollins to put him out of his misery right here, right now. A man in a black hoodie and mask heads towards the ring from out of the crowd, and Heyman says that man has to do what a man has to do as he looks towards the entrance ramp while the man in black is on the announce table. The man in black unmasks himself to reveal himself to be Rollins, and four policemen tell Rollins to get down from the announce table. Rollins gets down from the table and is led out of the building while Heyman tells Rollins he has violated a restraining order and is going to jail and prison while his life falls apart. Rollins then runs away from the cops and punches Heyman out in the ring, and the cops have to force Rollins to the corner and handcuff him. General Manager Adam Pearce is on hand to ensure that Rollins is removed from the building.



Bayley and Lyra Valkyria beat The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). After the match, Jackie Redmond interviews Bayley and Lyra in the ring. Bayley says they feel pretty good on their way to WrestleMania, and Lyra says that The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend) have their names in their mouths because they know they can beat them. Bayley challenges The Irresistible Forces to a match next week so they can prove how big and bad they are.



We see NXT Origins featuring Tiffany Stratton.



Backstage, Penta is met by iShowSpeed, and Penta teaches him the strut that he usually does on his way to the ring. Dragon Lee shows up, and Penta introduces iShowSpeed to him. iShowSpeed leaves, then Dragon Lee wishes Penta luck in tonight's match while Penta looks forward to having a rematch with him.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with iShowSpeed when Danhausen shows up. Danhausen proposes that they stream together, and when iShowSpeed refuses, Danhausen curses him and disappears. iShowSpeed has no idea what to make of this as Pearce leaves.



Backstage, Asuka blames Kairi Sane for their loss tonight, and demands Kairi make it up to her. Asuka leaves, then Iyo Sky shows up and admits that while they have had their ups and downs, Kairi deserves better. Asuka then yells for Kairi, who is tormented as she leaves. Raquel Rodriguez shows up, irritated that Iyo Sky cost her the opportunity to beat Stephanie Vaquer. Iyo says she would do it again if given the chance, and Raquel challenges her to a match next week so she can finish what she started. Iyo accepts the challenge.



Before the next match, Liv Morgan is attacked from behind by Stephanie Vaquer, who also punches "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio in the face. Referees show up as the brawl makes its way to gorilla position, and both women have to be separated.



Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio after countering a top rope frog splash with an inside cradle after Finn Balor shows up and beats up JD McDonagh. After the match, Finn Balor beats up Dominik Mysterio, and when JD McDonagh saves Dominik from the Coup de Grace, Finn takes them both out with a tope suicida. Finn goes back to attacking Dominik, and McDonagh saves Dominik once again. Dominik flees through the crowd as JD McDonagh ends up eating a Coup de Grace instead.



Backstage, CM Punk runs into Jimmy Uso. Jimmy says he is not telling him what to do before warning him to be careful, as his brother is on the warpath. CM Punk then heads to the ring. Punk mentions Jimmy Uso's warning, then says that Roman Reigns cannot do anything without his cousins and that the family cannot do anything without back-up, including being World Heavyweight Champion. He mentions Roman's threat that his whole family can come after him if they so choose, but none of them have looked at him cross. Punk says that people say and do awful things to each other to sell the big title fight, but these are just words, and he is tired of talking. Punk then mentions Roman calling him "old," then says that his "young boy" does not get to disrespect him and call him old. He then says that he is old, but he is also proud of where he is in life and being "middle aged and crazy" like Terry Funk. Punk compares himself to other middle-aged sports legend, then says that he is "Mr. Game 7" and proclaims that age is nothing but a number. He says he is old, but not insecure, and if Roman only sees an old man, he has already understimated him and lost. He warns Roman Reigns that he will tie him into knots and that Roman will be beaten by "the old man" at WrestleMania, then mentions that both "Main Event" Jey Uso and Gunther did not underestimate him and they still lost. Jey Uso shows up, tells Punk that he is old, hit in the head too many times and still running his mouth, especially about him. He says they can do it right now, and Punk mentions that Jey never got his rematch and that he can do this right now. All of a sudden, Jimmy Uso shows up and asks Jey what he is doing, saying that he understands how he feels, yet when he is angry, he sees red, and now their tag team titles are on the line. He tells Jey to leave Punk to Roman, as they have nothing to do with him. Jey says Punk has everything to do with him, then asks where Roman is, stating he is not even in the building. All of a sudden, Roman Reigns shows up, and he and CM Punk have a staredown. Roman says that last time he checked, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) already had a tag match, and since it is done, he respectfully tells Jimmy to get Jey and leave the ring. Punk says The Usos can stay, as Roman can use the help. This leads to Punk getting ganged up on and Superman Punched, and General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with referees to get The Usos and Roman Reigns out of the ring. Jey tells Roman to "smash 'em all" and get Punk, and Roman finally snaps and hits Punk with a Spear. Roman continues to attack Punk, then powerbombs him through the announce table. Roman grabs Punk and asks him what he is going to do now before leaving.

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.
