The October 26, 2026 episode of Monday Night RAW will build towards the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event, so fans can expect a solid show from start to finish.
No Disqualification Match: Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria aren’t getting normal rules tonight, which is probably for the best considering how things have been going between them. Their problems have been building since Bayley returned in September, with the two repeatedly getting into fights and things only getting worse along the way.
Last week added another mess to the situation. Valkyria accidentally punched Lola Vice while trying to get at Bayley, leading to a match between Vice and Valkyria later in the night. Bayley then interfered and cost Valkyria the match before another brawl broke out afterwards.
Bayley eventually stood tall and announced that she wanted Valkyria in a No Disqualification Match. Now Lyra gets her chance to answer back, and neither woman will have to worry much about being disqualified once things inevitably get ugly.
No. 1 Contender’s Match: Becky Lynch vs. Stephanie Vaquer
Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer have spent enough time going after each other outside the ring. Tonight, one of them gets to move toward another championship opportunity. Their issues heated up on social media, with Lynch even taking shots at Vaquer over the ankle injury she recently dealt with. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce eventually decided to settle things by putting them in a No. 1 Contender’s Match.
That gives both women something much bigger to fight over than their personal issues. Vaquer recently lost the Women’s World Championship at Money in the Bank when Liv Morgan regained the title in a Triple Threat Match also involving Lynch. Neither Vaquer nor Lynch was involved in the final decision, leaving both with a reason to believe they deserve another shot. Tonight, one of them gets to prove it.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Iyo Sky
Raquel Rodriguez has a championship defense waiting for her tonight. The Women’s Intercontinental Champion puts her title on the line against Iyo Sky, giving Iyo another opportunity to put championship gold around her waist.
Raquel also has plenty happening around The Judgment Day right now. Roxanne Perez just challenged Chelsea Green for the WWE Women’s Championship on SmackDown, while Liv Morgan is preparing for Crown Jewel as Women’s World Champion.
Tonight, though, Raquel has to handle her own championship business. Iyo doesn’t need to worry about anything else happening around The Judgment Day. She only needs to beat Rodriguez once, and she’ll leave Fresno with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Chad Gable & Dragon Lee vs. Big Cass & Ethan Page
Chad Gable and Dragon Lee have gone from fighting over the Intercontinental Championship to fighting on the same side. Gable successfully defended the title against Dragon Lee on Raw in Mexico City last month, but tonight the two will put that history aside to deal with Big Cass and Ethan Page.
There’s plenty of size waiting across the ring. Cass already presents a completely different physical challenge, while Page has continued finding ways to make himself a problem wherever he shows up. Gable and Lee might not be a regular tag team, but both know exactly what the other can do after their recent championship match. Tonight we’ll find out whether that familiarity actually helps when they’re forced to work together.
