WWE Raw took place on Monday, October 26, 2026, at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, with two championship matches, a brutal No Disqualification Match and several developments ahead of Crown Jewel.
Last night’s WWE Raw saw Sami Zayn defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Je’Von Evans, while Liv Morgan put the Women’s World Championship on the line against Becky Lynch. Elsewhere, Bayley battled Lyra Valkyria, IYO SKY faced Raquel Rodriguez, and Chad Gable teamed with Dragon Lee against Ethan Page and Big Cass.
The show also featured a surprise appearance from Tiffany Stratton, who attempted to cash in her Women’s Money in the Bank contract.
Adam Pearce Announces Women’s World Championship Change
Raw opened with General Manager Adam Pearce announcing that Stephanie Vaquer had not been medically cleared to compete. As a result, the scheduled number one contender’s match between Vaquer and Becky Lynch was cancelled, with Lynch instead receiving an immediate Women’s World Championship opportunity against Liv Morgan.
Sami Zayn then interrupted proceedings to address Roman Reigns ahead of their Crown Jewel Championship encounter on November 7. Zayn discussed his accomplishments and questioned why he was still overlooked despite his success.
He also claimed that The Bloodline had never been better than when he was part of the faction. Je’Von Evans interrupted, leading to a heated exchange between the two.
Evans warned Zayn that he might not enter Crown Jewel as Undisputed WWE Champion, prompting Pearce to announce an immediate championship match.
Undisputed WWE Title: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Je’Von Evans
Zayn and Evans opened the evening’s in-ring action with a competitive championship encounter. Evans used his speed and aerial offence to trouble the champion, including a dive to the outside and a Frog Splash that nearly secured the victory.
Zayn responded with his trademark Exploder Suplex and attempted to finish the challenger with a Helluva Kick. In the closing moments, Penta arrived carrying his Money in the Bank briefcase, only to be attacked from behind by Bron Breakker.
Evans tried to intervene with a dive onto Breakker, but the distraction let Zayn regain control. The champion delivered an Exploder Suplex into the corner before connecting with a Helluva Kick to retain his championship.
Winner: Sami Zayn (retains the Undisputed WWE Championship)
Following the match, Breakker attacked Evans before Bronson Reed and Logan Paul joined the confrontation. Breakker and Reed delivered a vicious assault on Evans and Penta, with Breakker connecting with spears and Reed delivering Tsunamis to both men.
Later, Pearce announced that The Vision would face Penta and Je’Von Evans in a tag team match at Crown Jewel.
No Disqualification Match: Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria took their rivalry to another level in a physical No Disqualification Match. NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan was seen watching from the audience as both competitors made extensive use of weapons.
The action quickly spilled outside the ring, where Valkyria attacked Bayley with a belt before sending her crashing into the steel steps. Bayley responded by diving through the ropes and driving Valkyria through a table.
The match continued with chairs, kendo sticks, a broom and multiple tables coming into play. Valkyria delivered a Night Wing from the ropes onto a pair of chairs before applying a Bulldog Choke, but Bayley escaped by sending both women crashing outside the ring.
Bayley later countered a hurricanrana attempt into a powerbomb onto a garbage can. She followed up with an elbow drop through a table before the action returned to the ring.
In the closing moments, Bayley used a kendo stick to apply additional pressure during a crossface submission, forcing Valkyria to tap out.
Winner: Bayley (via submission)
IYO SKY vs. Raquel Rodriguez
IYO SKY faced Raquel Rodriguez in a match that showcased their contrasting wrestling styles. Rodriguez initially used her size and strength to control proceedings, but SKY fought back with aerial offence, including a dive through the ropes and a Frog Splash from the barricade.
Rodriguez regained control with a chokeslam and a Fallaway Slam, while SKY responded with a hurricanrana and a Meteora in the corner. SKY attempted her Over The Moonsault, but Rodriguez raised her knees to block the move.
Rodriguez then attempted a Texana Bomb, but SKY countered into a roll-up to secure the victory.
Winner: IYO SKY
Following the match, Roxanne Perez attacked SKY near the entrance ramp. Perez and Rodriguez continued the assault inside the ring, combining for a Russian Leg Sweep and big boot.
Ethan Page And Big Cass vs. Chad Gable And Dragon Lee
Chad Gable and Dragon Lee joined forces against Ethan Page and Big Cass in tag team action. Gable and Lee initially used their speed and teamwork to frustrate their larger opponents, delivering a series of dives to the outside.
Page and Cass eventually isolated Gable, using their strength to wear him down. Gable fought back with an Angle Slam on Page and a German suplex on Cass before tagging in Dragon Lee.
Lee delivered several high-flying attacks, including dives onto both opponents and a hurricanrana on Cass. However, Page pulled Gable from the apron late, leaving Lee without his partner.
Cass capitalised with a clothesline before delivering a big boot, allowing Page to follow up with a suplex for the victory.
Winners: Ethan Page and Big Cass
WWE Women’s World Title: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Becky Lynch
The main event saw Liv Morgan defend the Women’s World Championship against Becky Lynch following the earlier change to the scheduled card. Both women exchanged momentum throughout the contest, with Morgan targeting Lynch’s legs and applying a Sharpshooter.
Lynch fought back and delivered a Manhandle Slam onto the announce desk, but Morgan responded by sending her opponent into the steel steps before connecting with a Code Red. Back inside the ring, Morgan landed Oblivion, but Lynch kicked out.
Lynch responded with a Manhandle Slam of her own, although Morgan also survived the pinfall attempt. The match became increasingly chaotic when Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez arrived at ringside.
Lynch tried to fight off the interference, but Rodriguez accidentally struck Perez with a big boot. Lynch then avoided another Oblivion and connected with a Manhandle Slam.
However, Perez and Rodriguez entered the ring to break up the pinfall, causing the referee to call for the disqualification.
Winner: Liv Morgan (via disqualification)
Tiffany Stratton Attempts Money In The Bank Cash-In
Following the match, The Judgment Day continued attacking Lynch. Chelsea Green rushed to the ring to help, but Morgan and Rodriguez initially gained the advantage.
IYO SKY then arrived and took out Morgan and Rodriguez with a moonsault from the ring apron. Green followed up with an Unprettier on Morgan, but Perez quickly responded by attacking Green with a Shining Wizard.
The situation took another unexpected turn when Tiffany Stratton appeared with her Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase and a referee. Stratton tried to cash in on the weakened champion, but Dominik Mysterio and the remaining members of The Judgment Day intervened.
They helped Morgan escape the ring before the cash-in could take place. Raw concluded with The Judgment Day standing tall on the entrance ramp as Dominik carried Morgan away, leaving Stratton unable to capitalise on her opportunity.
