WWE continued to build toward Crown Jewel tonight. With a little over a week left, we had some business to handle tonight. Mainly, we needed to find out who Liv Morgan would defend the WWE World Women’s Title against before she could even make it to Crown Jewel.
The 946 and The Bloodline needed to follow up after their big RAW ending segment last week. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria would face off tonight, possibly signaling the end of Bayley’s WWE run if she lost. Will WWE answer the big questions tonight?
Thanks for the submission!
Let’s find out together.
Here are the full results for WWE Monday Night RAW (October 26, 2026):
- Sami Zayn defeated Je’Von Evans via pinfall with the Helluva Kick to retain the Undisputed Men’s WWE Championship.
- Bayley defeated Lyra Valkyria via submission with a kendo stick-assisted crossface.
- IYO SKY defeated Raquel Rodriguez via pinfall with the victory roll.
- Ethan Page & Big Cass defeated Dragon Lee & Chad Gable via pinfall with the Ego Plex.
- Becky Lynch defeated Liv Morgan via DQ after Judgment Day interfered, but Liv retains the WWE Women’s World Title.
WWE RAW GM Adam Pearce kicked things off in the ring. Last week, we learned that Stephanie Vaquer would face Becky Lynch to determine Liv Morgan’s next #1 contender. He said that, unfortunately, Vaquer wasn’t medically cleared and couldn’t compete tonight. But Becky was still here, so… who would face The Man?
It would be Liv Morgan, as Becky would challenge for the WWE Women’s World Title tonight. That’s when WWE Men’s Champion Sami Zayn interrupted. The Last Good Guy said he wouldn’t complain about Roman Reigns‘ part-time schedule and graciously let the fans cheer “OTC.” Zayn then reminded them that Reigns looked at his schedule and decided to skip Fresno, California.
Zayn needed to say something and demanded Pearce leave his ring. The GM abided, and Zayn got right to business. Addressing the “Sami Sucks” chants, Zayn said that, despite being the current WWE Champion, he’s still somehow underrated. “I thought you guys knew ball. I thought you could recognize greatness when it was in front of you. But you can’t.”
He mocked US Champion Trick Williams and CM Punk, who brag about how great they are. Fans eat it up. And the live crowd was ready to acknowledge Roman Reigns tonight. Zayn said this wasn’t his kind of thing, but maybe he should’ve been bragging about how great he is.
Nobody had overcome as much as Sami. Nobody had been buried to the bottom and struck gold like him. He was the reason the Bloodline peaked, and why this company made hundreds of millions off the stable. The company higher-ups thanked Roman, but they should’ve thanked Sami.
Instead, the champ had to deal with Trick Williams, MITB winner Penta, and even Je’Von Evans. In what world did Je’Von Evans believe he could step to Sami?
Well, The Young OG answered that question! Evans welcomed Zayn to Monday Night RAW and begged him to shut up for the fans’ sake. Since Zayn said his name, Evans was willing to let him air his grievances face-to-face. Zayn respectfully said he didn’t owe Evans any respect, but he’d give it anyway.
“There was no world in which you should ever interrupt me,” the champ claimed. Evans said bump the respect; it was time to talk disrespectfully. Sami was trying to be one of the best, while the Young OG was working on being THE best. If Sami kept talking, Evans would give him and the fans something to really talk about.
“You don’t have to go to Crown Jewel with that title.” Last week, Roman Reigns wondered if Sami could make it to Crown Jewel as WWE Champion. Evans played off that, and it got to Zayn. The Champ said he was a fan of Evans’, but he was simply not on the same level. In 5-8 years, maybe he would be half as good as Zayn. Until then? No.
As Sami attempted to leave, Adam Pearce stopped him. It was time to back his words with his money and his championship. Our first match tonight? Sami Zayn defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Je’Von Evans!
Undisputed WWE Championship: Je’Von Evans vs Sami Zayn (c)
Evans got an early two-count on Zayn after a standing moonsault. But with his ribs and shoulders taped up, this wasn’t a 100% Young OG. Still, a springboard hurricanrana earned him another close call.
Zayn responded with a running forearm smash, but couldn’t keep the 22-year-old down. A big dropkick sent Zayn to the floor, and Evans followed with a huge leap over the ropes, laying out the champ with a body press. Back in the ring, Zayn blocked a superplex. Before he could dive, Zayn got up and sent Evans crashing face-first onto the apron.
Zayn maintained control through the break, but Evans eventually fired up with a body-punching combination. A Red Dot rocked Zayn for a two-count. Evans got dumped into the corner with an exploder, but countered a Helluva Kick with a superkick.
Frog Splash from across the ring! 1-2-nope! Zayn got his shoulder up just in time, possibly because Evans’ injured ribs delayed his cover. Zayn escaped to the floor, refusing to give Evans any more of his time. That was when Mr. Money in the Bank’s music hit!
Penta stood atop the ramp with his pyro-filled briefcase and stalked the champion. As Zayn rolled back into the ring, Evans hit a running Sliced Bread No. 2 for the night’s closest near-fall. Bron Breakker attacked Penta and was laid out by a splash from Evans.
That delay allowed Zayn to avoid Evans’ springboard maneuver, dumping him in the corner for the Helluva Kick and escaping with the WWE Title!
Sami Zayn defeated Je’Von Evans via pinfall with the Helluva Kick to retain the WWE Championship.
Grade: B-. A really good bout between the two, but a much better one was hiding beneath the shenanigans.
Immediately after the match, Bron Breakker attacked while Zayn walked away. Penta tried to save Evans, but Bronson Reed joined in. A super spear cut Evans in half, and Reed finished him with a Tsunami. Logan Paul watched as Bron & Bronson put Penta through the same punishment Evans received.
We got the recap of last week’s WWE RAW up to the end. The Bloodline FINALLY got help from WWE World Champion Roman Reigns, sending the 946 packing.
After a recap of SmackDown, where WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green successfully defended against Roxanne Perez, and Tiffany Stratton nearly cashed in on Liv Morgan, we got a Judgment Day promo. Raquel Rodriguez vowed to set the tone with a win over IYO SKY tonight, and Liv would go on to shut everyone up by beating The Man in our main event.
After a hype package for this match, it was time for Lyra Valkyria vs. Bayley in a Street Fight!
Alright, well, quick backstage promo. Penta and Je’Von Evans asked WWE RAW GM Adam Pearce for a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Titles. Why did they deserve a shot at the gold? No one knows, but Pearce accepted. They’d get their match against The Vision at Crown Jewel.
WWE NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan was at ringside for the next match.
Street Fight: Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria
Bayley took Valkyria to the mat with a double-leg takedown. The first-ever Women’s WWE Grand Slampion pulled out a table, but spent a bit too much time setting it up. Lyra Valkyria dove over the wood and blindsided her former mentor.
Lyra whipped Bayley with a belt, pelting her around ringside. Bayley responded with a flapjack onto the steel steps, landing on Lyra’s jaw. The former WWE Champion sat Lyra up in a chair and dove off the steps with a big flying clothesline!
Bayley was taken out on the barricade as Lyra stopped her attempt at another dive. Just as Lyra set up the Slim Jim-branded table against the announcer’s desk, Bayley sent herself and Lyra through it in a suicide dive to send us to commercial break! WOW!
We returned just as Lyra cracked Bayley in the sternum with a kendo stick. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion moved up for her diving ax kick, but Bayley followed. Bayley blocked a choke with the kendo stick and pulled Lyra off the turnbuckle with it. Diving elbow drop to the back of the head!! No pinfall, though.
Bayley painted Lyra with welts from the kendo stick and her belt. She wrapped the belt around Lyra’s left arm, making sure she couldn’t escape… but didn’t tie it to herself. Bayley blocked the running wheel kick and dumped her on the mat with a leg-trapped back suplex. A running code red sent Lyra neck-first into a chair left between the top two turnbuckles.
A second table was set up on the floor, but Lyra pulled Bayley back inside. Bayley’s elbow drop was blocked with the steel chair, and Lyra quickly pulled her up for the sit-out powerbomb on the chair! Bayley’s elbow might’ve been broken.
Lyra placed Bayley on top of two standing chairs, but missed the moonsault. Bayley cracked her with a knee, then hit the Bayley-to-Belly… kind of. Lyra fell out of her arms a little, which explained why Lyra was able to kick out.
Lyra dumped Bayley off the chairs with a Nightwing and went for the Last Breath/Captain’s Hook/Bulldog Choke. Bayley slid to the floor, sent Lyra’s face into the post, and hit a Bayley-to-Belly. A trash can was enough to make Lyra Valkyria beg for mercy and kiss Bayley’s feet.
As Bayley went for the shot, Lyra threw a jacket into her face, setting up the spinning heel kick. As Lyra moved up to the apron, though, Bayley caught her and drove her into a powerbomb onto the trash can!
Lyra was placed on the table. Diving elbow drop from the Role Model! Back in the ring, a crossface with the kendo stick! Nowhere to go, no rope to grab!
Bayley defeated Lyra Valkyria via submission with a kendo stick-assisted Crossface.
Grade: A. This was awesome. A fantastic war between one of the greatest to ever do it and one of the roster’s best young stars. Was it the right winner? That’s a question I don’t have to answer.
We got an awesome video package for IYO SKY, as the Genius of the Sky reminded Raquel Rodriguez and everyone watching who she was. She was IYO gat dang Sky, and nobody was better than her.
A 946 vignette aired in black and white. Royce Keys said it was time for more blood. He challenged Solo Sikoa to a match, promising to make him taste his own blood, much like he did to The Usos and Jacob Fatu.
IYO SKY vs Raquel Rodriguez
The former WWE Women’s Champion went after Raquel Rodriguez’ arm with a flying Kimura. It didn’t work, but SKY took her legs out and hit a running crossbody. Raquel rolled out of the pinfall, but SKY sent her to the floor. A big dive laid out the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
SKY got a kid in the crowd to help her get stable on the barricade before hitting another dive on Big Mami Cool. A third top-rope dive, though, failed when Raquel sent SKY crashing to the floor.
We returned to see Raquel bending SKY in half with a Canadian backbreaker. SKY escaped and avoided Raquel’s falling elbow drop, rocking her with a big kick to the side of the head.
Raquel caught SKY mid-air. SKY countered a chokeslam and drove Raquel’s face into the mat for a two-count. The Over The Moonsault failed, but SKY yanked Raquel off the top. A hurricanrana set up the Bullet Train, but Raquel countered with a big boot!
1-2-kickout!
SKY sent Raquel back into the corner with a diving dropkick, this time hitting the Bullet Train Attack. Over the Moonsault? Nope! Raquel got her knees up!
Tejana Bomb? Nope! IYO SKY countered with a victory roll!
IYO SKY defeated Raquel Rodriguez with a victory roll pin.
Grade: B+. Big, strong powerhouse vs. top-tier high flyer. Yeah, this was always gonna be fun.
As SKY walked up the ramp, Roxanne Perez blindsided her. She pulled SKY back into the ring and did the tilt-a-whirl setup for La Mistica… but stopped before she could stand. Raquel booted SKY’s face off.
Solo Sikoa responded to Royce Key’s challenge. He said the Bloodline ran things around here… meaning Solo was officially part of the group for real after months of refusing to join. Okay.
Chad Gable & Dragon Lee vs Big Cass & Ethan Page
Chad Gable kicked things off with Ethan Page. The WWE Intercontinental Champion took All Ego to the mat early with a wrist lock. Dragon Lee tagged in, and Page easily overpowered him with a powerslam.
Big Cass came in next, and one big club to the back sent Dragon Lee face-first into the mat. Lee escaped a beatdown from the heels and tagged out to Gable, who hit Page and Cass on the floor with a big top-rope dive. Gable then launched Dragon Lee over the ropes with a release belly-to-belly, sending a running Lee flying into their opponents.
Back from the break, Page’s pop-up THUMP planted Gable for a two-count. Gable blocked a superplex attempt, forcing Page to tag out. Cass ran in and swung, but Gable caught it and locked in an over-the-rope armbar. Page tagged back in to stop the tag, but Gable planted him with an Angle Slam.
Gable dumped Cass on his head with a German suplex, and finally got to Dragon Lee! The luchador ducked Page’s lariat, then sent Cass to the floor with a dropkick. A German suplex/superkick combo sent Page to the floor, where Lee kicked out of a series of dives. A suicide dive to both men, then a tope con hilo to Page.
Back in the ring, a tilt-a-whirl DDT spiked Cass, and Lee rocked him with the Hidden Blade! 1-2-kickout!
Ego took Chad Gable out on the floor with an Ego Plex. Lee asked the ref to check on him, allowing Cass to pick him off. A chokeslam was countered, though, and Lee rolled him up with a sunset flip for a two-count.
Lee pelted Ego and Cass with superkicks while the cameras stayed off of Chad Gable. Several officials rushed in to check on him… he might’ve been injured.
In the end, Lee couldn’t withstand the numbers game, and after Cass hit a Big Boot, Ego finished him with the Ego Plex.
Ethan Page & Big Cass defeated Dragon Lee & Chad Gable via pinfall with the Ego Plex.
Grade: B-. A good one. It seemed like things had to change on the fly at the end. If not, they did a good job of convincing me.
We got a Becky Lynch vignette, where she said the WWE World Championship deserved to be held by a fighting woman. “See you in the main event, because that’s what happens when the Man comes around.”
The Vision cut a promo ahead of their Crown Jewel title defense next weekend. Reed said Je’Von Evans & Penta invited themselves to a Spear, Tsunami! Spear, Tsunami! Spear, Tsunami! Bron accepted for them, while Logan Paul looked a bit nervous.
We learned John Cena would be returning next week. It would be his first time on RAW since his retirement.
WWE Women’s World Championship: Becky Lynch vs Liv Morgan (c)
Becky Lynch had the upper hand from the start. Liv tried to sunset bomb Lynch to the floor, but Lynch held on to the ropes, crashed down on Liv, and bounced her off the barricade. Back in the ring, Liv yanked Becky off Bret’s Rope (The Most Dangerous Rope) for a two-count.
Liv and Lynch battled around the floor before Liv sent the challenger crashing off the top for another two-count. Liv twisted Lynch’s leg up in the ringpost in a half crab, which wouldn’t win her the match even if Lynch tapped, but it did a lot of damage. A diving facebuster off Bret’s Rope couldn’t secure the win for Morgan.
The Three Amigos failed after Liv played to the crowd a bit too much before the third. Lynch took Liv over with a suplex and hammered the WWE Women’s World Champion with a series of clotheslines. A flying shoulder tackle took Liv down, though Lynch lacked speed thanks to her injured knee. A Bexplode set up the diving leg drop, but Liv kicked out.
Liv baited an ObLIVion, instead stunning Lynch with a lungblower. Still a two-count, and Liv threw a tantrum in the middle of the ring. Liv went for a springboard sunset bomb out of the corner. Lynch caught her as she jumped to the second rope and drove her to the mat with an Avalanche Russian Leg Sweep.
Lynch countered a single-leg Boston Crab with a roll-up, getting a near fall on the champ. Liv’s ObLIVion failed, and Lynch planted her for the cross armbreaker. Liv turned THAT into a pinfall, forcing the break, and followed with a floating DDT.
Lynch hit a Seth Rollins-inspired superplex into a DDT for a two-and-a-half count! The desk was cleared off, and Liv bounced Lynch’s head off it like a basketball. Lynch responded with a Manhandle Slam on top of the desk! Didn’t move an inch…OUCH!
Liv sent Lynch crashing into the floor with a flying sunset bomb off the steps! The ref got to nine before the competitors rolled back in. Lynch and Liv hammered each other. As Lynch bounced off the ropes, Liv met her with ObLIVion!
1-2-kickout!! The closest kickout we’ve seen all show!!
Manhandle Slam!!
1-2-kickout!! Not as close!!
Liv sent Lynch into the post and attempted to stack her up. The challenger escaped, turning it into the Dis-Arm-Her!! Judgment Day rushed the ring, and that seemed to give Liv the extra energy to break free because, for some reason, Lynch let go.
Lynch took the Judgment Day out on the floor. Back inside, Liv went for the ObLIVion…and Becky caught her!! Manhandle Slam!!
Judgment Day broke it up…
Becky Lynch defeated Liv Morgan via DQ thanks to Judgment Day’s interference, but Liv retains the WWE Women’s World Title.
Grade: B. An awesome match ruined, yet again, by Judgment Day interference. It’s almost as if WWE has only a two-page playbook for Monday Night RAW matches.
Immediately after the match, Chelsea Green saved Becky Lynch from a beatdown. Somewhat. It was still two-on-three…until IYO SKY joined the fight! SKY took Raquel out on the floor while Green took down Liv with the Unprettier.
Roxanne Perez took Chelsea to the floor, leaving Liv out in the middle of the ring.
Tiffany Stratton rushed the ring and hit Liv Morgan with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever!! Cash in??
Not yet, as the bell never rang, and Dirty Dominik Mysterio pulled Liv Morgan to safety.
Overall Grade: B+. Can’t deny the wrestling was pretty dang good here. The Bloodline and 946 angle, the hottest part of RAW last week, got two three-minute vignettes, an odd follow-up. Bayley vs. Lyra was awesome. Lynch vs. Liv was great until the end. Giving your crowd two big “what if” moments, only to pull both away immediately, feels incredibly cheap.
By the end, the crowd was chanting some things I can’t type, and understandably so. Still, a strong episode, and much better than what we’ve seen lately.
