WWE Raw aired on October 19, 2026, at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, and streamed live worldwide on Netflix.
Last night’s show featured Roman Reigns confronting Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn ahead of Crown Jewel, Penta facing Bron Breakker, and Chad Gable defending the Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.
The evening also saw The Usos confront 946, JD McDonagh battle Joe Hendry, and Bayley continue her rivalry with Lyra Valkyria.
Sami Zayn And Roman Reigns Confront Each Other
Raw opened with a video package recapping Carmelo Hayes joining 946 the previous week before Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn made his entrance.
Zayn acknowledged the mixed reaction from the San Diego crowd and asked how many fans were prepared to ride or die with him.
Roman Reigns interrupted, and the former Bloodline allies initially shared a friendly exchange, including an embrace.
Zayn admitted that he had come to understand the burden of being champion and the disrespect Reigns had previously discussed during their time together in The Bloodline.
Reigns reminded Zayn of the responsibilities that came with holding a world championship, but suggested his former ally’s most important title had been “Honorary Uce.”
He questioned whether Zayn was motivated by greed or love and whether he remained committed to serving The Bloodline.
The conversation grew tense when Reigns dismissed the significance of the Undisputed WWE Championship, claiming it had meant little since WrestleMania 40.
Zayn defended his status as champion and warned Reigns that he did not understand the threat he posed.
However, Reigns insisted that he knew Zayn better than he realised and suggested that he might not even be champion by the time Crown Jewel arrived.
The confrontation ended when Men’s Money in the Bank briefcase holder Penta made his entrance for the opening match, staring down both champions before Bron Breakker followed.

Penta regained control with a superkick and a Penta Driver, but Breakker survived the subsequent pinfall attempt.
Breakker then caught Penta coming off the ropes with a spear, but Penta kicked out.
Austin Theory appeared at ringside and attempted to interfere, prompting Je’Von Evans to intervene.
Evans grabbed Penta’s Money in the Bank briefcase and struck both Theory and Breakker with it.
