UFC legend Nate Diaz made a surprise appearance on WWE RAW—and he wasn’t alone.

During the October 20, 2025 episode of RAW, which aired live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, cameras cut to the crowd at the top of the 9PM hour. Sitting front and center was Nate Diaz, flanked by his children, soaking in the show just moments before Becky Lynch stepped into the ring to defend the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri.

The broadcast didn’t let the moment pass. Announcers pointed out Diaz’s presence, and WWE even dropped a graphic on-screen labeling him a “Former UFC Fighter.” Diaz stood up with his daughter and flexed for the camera, flashing a trademark mean mug that reminded everyone he’s still one of the baddest men in the building—even in the front row.

Otis also made his return to WWE television that night after elbow surgery, and Dominik Mysterio put his Intercontinental Title on the line against Rusev. But despite all that action, Nate Diaz showing up with his kids in Sacramento turned heads in a big way.
