WWE Raw took place on Monday, November 2, 2026, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, featuring a major championship change, John Cena revealing details about his upcoming tournament, and a shocking conclusion involving Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and 946.
With Crown Jewel just days away, tensions continued to escalate between Reigns and Zayn, while Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton exchanged words ahead of their Last Man Standing match.
The evening also saw Ethan Page challenge Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Championship, The Vision compete in six-man tag team action, and NXT star Cruz Montana make a surprise appearance.
Roman Reigns And Sami Zayn Confront Each Other
Roman Reigns opened Raw by addressing the ongoing problems between The Bloodline and 946. Reigns warned the rival faction about targeting his family, reminding them what happened when he got involved in their conflict before.
Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn interrupted, insisting he’d heard Reigns’ comments the previous week and that they needed to settle their differences face-to-face. Reigns claimed Zayn owed his WWE success to The Bloodline, arguing he never would have become champion without being brought into the group.
He also took credit for helping Jacob Fatu’s career and mocked Zayn’s previous WrestleMania match against Johnny Knoxville. Zayn rejected the suggestion that Reigns deserved credit for his accomplishments, insisting that his hard work had earned him everything he had achieved.
He demanded Reigns’ undivided attention ahead of their Crown Jewel Championship match, warning that he would get it one way or another. Reigns dismissed Zayn’s demands, declaring that the only thing he deserved was gratitude, then ordered Brooklyn to acknowledge him before leaving the ring.

Penta later gained momentum against Breakker, connecting with a Sling Blade and Bronco Buster before the action broke down between all six competitors.
Paul attempted to interfere by sliding Penta’s Money in the Bank briefcase to Theory, although Penta intercepted it. Reed then flattened Penta with a splash, while Lee and Evans tried to shift the momentum back in their team’s favour.
However, Theory caught Evans and held him in position, allowing Breakker to deliver a spear and secure the pinfall victory.
