WWE Raw is set to return tonight, August 17, 2026, from KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, with a loaded lineup featuring several matches and a major confrontation involving Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and Jey Uso. The show will take place tonight and will air live on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. WWE's official preview confirms the five announced matches and segments for the episode. The night's biggest storyline will see Jey Uso deliver Solo Sikoa to World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns after defeating Sikoa under controversial circumstances last week. Chad Gable will also put the Intercontinental Championship on the line against Rey Mysterio, while Rey Fenix faces El Fiscal and Dragon Lee takes on El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in the first round of the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament. The tournament will determine who challenges Reigns when Raw heads to Mexico City on September 14. Sol Ruca will also go one-on-one with Lyra Valkyria following their confrontation last week. Monday Night Raw Results August 17, 2026 Stephanie Vaquer opened the show by calling out Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and demanding a fight. Morgan arrived with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, and the numbers quickly became a problem for Vaquer. Becky Lynch came out to help, but tension between Lynch and Vaquer gave Judgment Day another opening. Morgan attacked Lynch, while Perez hit Vaquer with Pop Rox. Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa were shown backstage. The Usos prepared to take Solo to Roman Reigns, with LA Knight briefly crossing paths with them. Je’Von Evans vs JD McDonagh( W/OG Cutter) Je’Von Evans battled JD McDonagh after getting involved with Dominik Mysterio and calling out Big Cass. McDonagh focused on Evans’ injured leg, but Evans managed to fight through the damage. Evans eventually caught McDonagh with the OG Cutter for the win. Big Cass attacked him again afterward, but Evans fought back and even challenged Cass before Dominik helped Cass regain control. Winner: Je’Von Evans via pinfall Rey Fenix defeated El Fiscal - World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender Tournament Rey Fenix defeated El Fiscal with the Mexican Muscle Buster to advance in the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender Tournament. Fiscal gave Fenix a tougher fight than expected, but Fenix survived and moved into the semifinals. He will face the winner of Dragon Lee vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Sol Ruca vs Lyra Valkyria Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria delivered a fast-paced match with both women getting strong stretches of offense. Valkyria nearly caught Ruca with her finishing move, but Ruca countered and eventually connected with the Sol Snatcher. Ruca picked up the victory in 10:50. Winner: Sol Ruca via pinfall Bron Breakker and Oba Femi Settle Their Argument Bron Breakker came to the ring and called out Oba Femi, insisting that Femi prove his claim that he is the future of WWE. Paul Heyman interrupted before things could turn into an immediate fight. Femi eventually appeared and told Breakker that even Brock Lesnar knows he is the future. Breakker wanted to fight him on the spot, but Heyman stopped the match from happening. Heyman revealed that he had already spoken with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and arranged Bron Breakker vs. Oba Femi for WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. The winner will have a chance to prove who WWE's future really is. Dragon Lee vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Dragon Lee and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. battled in a hard-fought tournament match, with both men exchanging offense throughout. Lee eventually caught Wagner with Operation Dragon to score the victory and advance to the semifinals, where he will face Rey Fenix. Winner:Dragon Lee via pinfall Chad Gable (c) vs. Rey Mysterio — Intercontinental Championship Chad Gable put the Intercontinental Championship on the line against Rey Mysterio in one of Raw’s featured matches. Mysterio used his speed to keep Gable under pressure, but the champion found a way to take control and shut down the challenger’s comeback. Gable eventually finished Mysterio to retain the Intercontinental Championship and continue his reign. Winner: Chad Gable Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline Roman Reigns arrived with Jacob Fatu and immediately demanded that Solo Sikoa be brought to him. Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso then brought Solo into the ring. Roman reminded Solo of their previous Tribal Combat match and questioned why Solo was still standing in front of him rather than showing him respect. The Usos attacked Solo, and Fatu applied the Tongan Death Grip before Roman told him to stop. Roman then placed black Ula Falas around Jey and Jimmy’s necks and praised them for what they had done. The focus returned to Solo, but LA Knight came out and confronted Roman. The Usos attacked Knight, while Fatu also got involved. Roman stopped Fatu from using the Tongan Death Grip on Knight before hitting Knight with a Superman Punch. Roman then ordered Solo to deal with Knight. Solo appeared ready to hit Knight with a Samoan Spike but turned and hit Roman Reigns instead. Solo then pulled out an air gun and confronted Jey. Knight hit Jimmy with a BFT, while Solo hit Jey with another Samoan Spike. Knight later hit Roman with a BFT of his own. Solo and Knight eventually left the ring together. Knight offered Solo a fist bump, which Solo accepted before saying, “Thank you.” Jacob Fatu remained standing in the corner and did not help Roman or the Usos.

Layla has no regrets about leaving WWE before she could work with Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bayley, saying she knew it was time for the next generation to take over. Speaking on TMZ Inside the Ring, the former WWE Women's and Divas Champion was asked if she wished she had stayed longer to work with the women who became the faces of WWE's women's wrestling revolution. Layla explained that she was 38 when she left WWE in 2015 after nine years with the company. She had already worked with Charlotte during the early part of her career, but Becky, Sasha and Bayley were coming up around the time she decided to leave. "No. No. I was 38. I was there for 9 years. I was 38. And it was just time for me to go, you know?" Layla said. She explained that she didn't want to stay and take opportunities away from younger wrestlers. "And then Becky came up, Sasha came up, I think they finally then Bayley came up," Layla said. "And it was just like, you know what, this is their time now." Layla said she had already enjoyed her own run and was happy to let the younger stars have their opportunity. "I was too old, you know, and it wasn't my time, it wasn't my moment," she explained. "And I had my time and I had my moment, and I'm grateful for that." She added, "They're young. I don't want to hold them back. They got to go. Let them shine." Layla also praised the current generation of WWE women, saying she is proud rather than jealous of the opportunities they now have. For Layla, leaving WWE in 2015 was the right decision, even if it meant missing potential matches against some of the biggest stars of the next generation. Layla joined WWE after winning the 2006 Diva Search and went on to spend nearly nine years with the company. During her run, she became a two-time Women's Champion and the final WWE Divas Champion, while also working with stars such as Michelle McCool, AJ Lee and Kelly Kelly. She left WWE in 2015 after establishing herself as one of the notable names of the Divas era.

This week's episode of WWE Raw did strong first-day numbers even without Roman Reigns on the card, coming in up almost 7% from the August 3 show. The performance is notable given the show's biggest star was absent, and it comes on the heels of Raw already posting its best viewership since May following SummerSlam. The episode topped the charts as the No. 1 television show for the day in the United States, up from No. 2 the week before, and also claimed the top spot in the United Kingdom and Canada, both of which climbed from No. 2. Elsewhere, the show held steady at No. 2 in Australia and No. 2 in Italy, while climbing to No. 3 in France (up from No. 6) and to No. 2 in New Zealand (up from No. 3). India stayed put at No. 4, and Saudi Arabia was the only market to dip, slipping from No. 1 to No. 2. The jump builds on already-improving momentum for the red brand on Netflix. The August 3 episode — the first Raw following SummerSlam — drew roughly 2.6 million global views over its first seven days, up from the 2.4 million views of the prior three weeks and marking Raw's strongest showing since its May 18 episode. Total global watch time for that show also rose, hitting 5.4 million hours compared to 4.8 million hours the week before. Raw's rise up the domestic and international daily charts across nine different countries points to broad-based growth rather than a spike in just one region. Topping the charts in the U.S., U.K., and Canada in particular marks a notable jump from finishing second in all three markets just a week prior. Saudi Arabia was the lone market to see a slight step back, dropping from No. 1 to No. 2, though it remained near the top of the chart there as well. Raw emanated from Norfolk, Virginia, with the main event built around Bloodline drama in Reigns' absence: Jey Uso defeated Solo Sikoa, with help from Jimmy Uso. Elsewhere on the card, Penta defeated Laredo Kid to advance in the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament, Austin Theory beat Akira Tozawa before Oba Femi stepped in to confront Bron Breakker, and Sol Ruca and IYO SKY teamed up for a win over Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. The show also featured Dragon Lee defeating Dominik Mysterio, followed by a post-match attack from Big Cass, along with appearances from Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer during a segment involving Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.

Bayley's latest social media post reportedly did not land well with everyone backstage in WWE, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select. The video featured highlights from Bayley training at various locations alongside different wrestlers, including AEW star Mercedes Moné, and was set to the song "All In" by The Grouch & Eligh. She captioned the post "all or nothing, baby." Some WWE backstage personnel reportedly viewed the post as "eyebrow-raising." The reaction makes sense given the timing. Bayley's WWE contract is reportedly set to expire in October, and she has not wrestled for the company since a July 26 live event in Bakersfield, California. Her last televised appearance came at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 18 at Madison Square Garden, where she lost to Lyra Valkyria, who then attacked her after the match and later declared on Raw that she had run Bayley out of the company. Against that backdrop, a training video featuring an AEW star, set to a song sharing its name with AEW's biggest pay-per-view, read to many as more than a coincidence. AEW's All In event takes place at Wembley Stadium in London on August 30, and Bayley's "all or nothing" caption also echoes the branding of AEW's Double or Nothing event. Mercedes Moné, a longtime friend of Bayley's dating back to their time together in WWE's Four Horsewomen storyline with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, has added to the speculation herself, having previously shared a fan-made graphic teasing a possible match between the two at AEW WrestleDream. Even so, people close to the situation inside AEW reportedly aren't convinced anything is imminent. Bryan Alvarez said on Wrestling Observer Live that sources within AEW are just as confused by the teasing as everyone else, and that Bayley is believed to remain under WWE contract through around January once any additional time the company tacks on is factored in, making a Bayley-Moné AEW match unlikely in the near term. Dave Meltzer has reported separately that Bayley has not signed a new WWE contract and currently has a decision to make about her future. Nothing has been confirmed by Bayley, WWE, or AEW, but between the backstage reaction, the contract uncertainty, and the ongoing storyline with Valkyria, her long-term status with the company remains one of wrestling's more closely watched situations heading into the fall.

Monday, August 10, 2026, airing live at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix Raw emanated from Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia and aired starting at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix. It was a big night for the Bloodline saga, as Jey Uso defeated Solo Sikoa in a high-stakes Bloodline matchup, IYO SKY teamed with Sol Ruca for a victory over Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, and Penta advanced in the World Heavyweight Title No. 1 Contender's Tournament with a win over Laredo Kid. Elsewhere, Austin Theory dominated Akira Tozawa, Dragon Lee upset Dominik Mysterio, Big Cass continued his rampage, and Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch both returned to set their sights on Women's World Champion Liv Morgan. Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa face-to-face (Bloodline Stipulation) The show opened with Solo Sikoa mocking The Usos, taunting that he was standing right there in Norfolk. That brought out Jey Uso's music, and Jey made his way to the ring, asking Sikoa if he really wanted to do this and telling him he needed Sikoa to fall in line with The Bloodline. Sikoa fired back, asking Jey how "falling in line" had worked out for him, pointing out that Jey looked like he'd fallen off instead — despite being a former World Heavyweight Champion, a former Men's Royal Rumble winner, and the man who beat GUNTHER at WrestleMania. Sikoa flatly refused to come back to the family, telling Jey that everyone in Virginia loved where he was at right now. Jey told Sikoa to be quiet, reminding him who he was talking to and reminding him that it was Jey and Jimmy Uso who raised and fed him — everything Sikoa had, he had because of them. Jey then challenged Sikoa to a match and fired off a warning shot. Sikoa ducked it, turned to check on the fans behind him, then accepted the challenge — telling Jey that once he beat him, The Bloodline could leave him alone for good, and fired back his own warning shot at Jey. World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament: Penta def. Laredo Kid This one kicked off the bracket that will determine who challenges Roman Reigns for the title on the Sept. 14 edition of Raw. Laredo Kid pushed the former Intercontinental Champion throughout the match, but a missed aerial attack allowed Penta to deliver a crushing Mexican Destroyer for the victory. With the win, Penta advances to the semifinals, where he'll await the winner of the bout between Psycho Clown and La Parka. Analysts going in considered Penta the favorite to eventually win the whole tournament and challenge Reigns at AAA Triplemanía in Mexico City. It's a strong start for Penta as WWE leans into the AAA crossover storyline. Austin Theory def. Akira Tozawa Tozawa was looking for payback after The Vision's vicious beatdown of Otis a few weeks earlier, hoping to get some measure of revenge against Austin Theory. Instead, Theory closed the match out with an Off Switch that nearly sent Tozawa's teeth flying. Immediately after, as The Vision prepared to pile on for a post-match beatdown, Oba Femi rushed the ring to stop it and once again squared off face-to-face with Bron Breakker before officials separated them. This continues the simmering issue between Femi and Breakker, hinting at a future confrontation. Becky Lynch & Stephanie Vaquer Confrontation / Liv Morgan Segment Both returning stars made their presence felt as Stephanie Vaquer came to the ring, told the fans she'd missed them, and said what she'd missed most was striking fear into Liv Morgan while railing against The Judgment Day, only for Becky Lynch to interrupt with a stare-down. The tension between the two carried into the night's chaos when The Man and La Primera both attempted to take out Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, but ended up getting in each other's way, allowing Morgan to escape. This sets up a fascinating three-way dynamic between Lynch, Vaquer, and Morgan heading toward the title picture. It's clear both former champions want a shot at Morgan's title, but their rivalry with each other may complicate that pursuit. Dragon Lee def. Dominik Mysterio Dominik came in with a chip on his shoulder after being excluded from the World Heavyweight No. 1 Contender's Tournament, looking to take his frustrations out on Dragon Lee. It was Lee, though, who brought the intensity, as both luchadors battled in the air before the match was ultimately decided on the ground with an Operation Dragon, extending Mysterio's losing skid. The post-match was where things got ugly, as Big Cass continued his rampage on Raw by assaulting both Dragon Lee and Je'Von Evans. Evans had rushed out to try to save Lee from Cass but paid a steep physical price for it. Sol Ruca & IYO SKY def. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez The mystery-partner storyline for Sol Ruca was resolved when IYO SKY emerged as her partner, immediately shaking the confidence of The Judgment Day. Rodriguez and Perez dominated the early part of the match, but SKY and Ruca eventually took control through high-flying offense. The finish saw Ruca drop jaws with an impressive Pop Rox reversal into a superkick that set up the match-ending Sol Snatcher. Notably, Danhausen had also offered to team with Ruca against The Judgment Day earlier in the show, adding a comedic subplot to the build. Jey Uso def. Solo Sikoa Later in the night, "Main Event" Jey Uso officially promised to beat Solo Sikoa and deliver him to World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns — following through on the stipulation set earlier. When the match itself got going, Sikoa came out firing, "backing it up" Rikishi style in an homage to their father, taking the wind out of Jey early. But just as it looked like Sikoa might find his way out of the trap, Jimmy Uso crashed the match and set up Jey for a Spear and Uso Splash combination that sealed Sikoa's fate. With the win, Jey makes good on his vow from earlier in the night, and Solo is now set to be delivered to Roman Reigns — deepening the Bloodline civil war heading into the fall.

This week's episode of Monday Night Raw will take place on Monday, August 10, 2026, live from Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Monday Night Raw currently airs live on Netflix on Monday evenings from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET in the United States. All Confirmed and Predicted Matches for WWE Raw, August 10, 2026 Penta vs. Laredo Kid — World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Tournament (Round One) Roman Reigns is set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship on September 14 in Mexico City, and AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio has built an eight-man lucha tournament to determine who gets that shot. The bracket pulls from the best luchadores across Raw, SmackDown, and AAA, with the winner earning a title match against Reigns in Mexico City. Penta enters as arguably the tournament favorite — the reigning multi-time Intercontinental Champion and, per multiple reports, the presumptive top star of this bracket. Interestingly, analysts have pointed out the bracket appears built toward a dream final between Penta and his real-life brother Rey Fenix, who could meet in the final if both advance. Laredo Kid, meanwhile, is no pushover — he's the male half of AAA's World Mixed Tag Team Champions and gets his first real singles moment on Raw. Whoever wins moves on to face the winner of Psycho Clown vs. La Parka in the semifinals on August 24. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez vs. Sol Ruca & a Partner of Her Choosing Sol Ruca has been in the crosshairs of Judgment Day for weeks — she dropped the Women's Intercontinental Championship to Raquel Rodriguez after repeated interference from Perez and Liv Morgan, then got another receipt just last week when a competitive singles match between Ruca and Perez ended in disqualification after Ruca was on the verge of victory before the group jumped her three-on-one. With Judgment Day repeatedly stacking the numbers against her, giving Ruca the freedom to handpick her own partner is a built-in payback mechanic — she finally gets to even the odds on her terms instead of being ambushed. Expect the "mystery partner" angle to be used to tease alliances from Becky Lynch, Stephanie Vaquer, or another Judgment Day rival looking to strike. Austin Theory vs. Akira Tozawa This one grew directly out of a Bron Breakker angle two weeks ago. After Breakker dispatched Joe Hendry, Theory tried to lay in extra shots post-match, only for Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa to run in and make the save, avenging his tag partner Otis in the process. That confrontation has been simmering since — Tozawa repeatedly getting under the skin of The Vision, and Theory (alongside Maxxine Dupri) looking to shut him down. With Bron Breakker now positioned in a bigger program against Oba Femi, this feels like a spinoff feud designed to keep Theory occupied and give Alpha Academy a measure of retribution against The Vision's antagonism. Becky Lynch Appears Live Becky Lynch made her return during the post-SummerSlam Raw, and it was anything but a quiet one. She returned to a big pop and told fans her business with the Intercontinental Championship was finished, immediately pivoting to Liv Morgan and the Women's World Championship. She called Morgan the worst women's champion of all time and vowed not to let her reach 100 days as champion without a fight. She also landed a shot aimed at Morgan's personal life involving Dominik Mysterio, which drew a big reaction from the crowd. Stephanie Vaquer Appears Live Vaquer's return was the other half of that same explosive segment — La Primera's music hit as Judgment Day tried to leave the ring, and she tore through the group taking out months of pent-up frustration on Morgan. What made it especially intriguing is that she returned in the same moment as Lynch, and the two stared each other down without coming to blows — an open-ended tease of a potential future rivalry between them, even as both seem aligned against Judgment Day for now. Commentary and analysts have flagged this dynamic as one to watch, since Vaquer returning alongside an equally hot Lynch return risks overshadowing one or the other unless WWE gives each her own distinct spotlight.

During the August 3rd episode of Raw, Becky Lynch delivered a promo aimed at putting down her opponent by invoking Liv Morgan's personal life, specifically her relationship with Dominik Mysterio. The line suggested Morgan couldn't even claim to be the top former champion among the group of women Dominik had been involved with — a jab that mixed in-ring credentials with real-world tabloid-style content. Per Meltzer's report, the line referenced Liv Morgan not being the best wrestler to have been involved with Dominik Mysterio, comparing her unfavorably even within that specific, unusual category. It was a pointed, mocking remark clearly meant to needle Morgan on a personal level rather than a purely athletic one — which likely explains why it didn't make the cut for the on-demand version. What makes this situation more interesting is the confirmation that Lynch wasn't going off-script. Meltzer's sources indicated the line was written into the show ahead of time, and that Triple H, along with other members of WWE's creative and production team, knew exactly what Lynch was going to say before she said it live. That detail shifts the narrative. Rather than this being a case of a performer pushing boundaries in the heat of the moment, it appears WWE intentionally included the line in the broadcast — then made the call afterward to scrub it from the version available on streaming. This raises questions about WWE's internal content standards, particularly the gap between what's deemed acceptable for a live, one-time TV airing versus what stays up permanently on a platform like Netflix, where the show is archived and easily clipped, shared, and re-watched. It also suggests WWE may be more cautious than usual about content that blurs the line between kayfabe rivalry and real-life personal references, especially now that Netflix serves as a long-term home for the product rather than a same-day-only broadcast.

Monday Night Raw is heading to Ireland for the first time in the show's history, and the company let its biggest Irish star make the call herself. Becky Lynch confirmed on Ireland AM that Raw will run live from the 3Arena on January 25, 2027 — a milestone for a promotion that has spent the last several years pushing harder into international markets. Lynch didn't hide how personal the moment felt, saying simply that as a kid growing up in Ireland, this was never something she or anyone else in the country would have dared to dream up. The announcement had been building for days. Lynch and fellow Irish star Finn Balor were both in Dublin this week for the Zuffa Boxing card at the 3Arena, and WWE used the trip as cover to set up a "massive announcement" teased across social media. Speculation ran hot beforehand — with a lot of fans and outlets betting WWE was about to reveal its first-ever Premium Live Event in Ireland, especially with WrestleMania rumors also floating around the market. Instead, the company went with Raw, and Off The Ball's Will O'Callaghan was among those confirming the 3Arena date shortly after. While January 25 will mark Raw's Dublin debut, it isn't WWE's first time bringing a flagship show to the city. SmackDown ran from the 3Arena back on August 22, 2025, giving Dublin a taste of what a full main-roster production looks like. That night doubled as a homecoming for Lynch, who got a hero's welcome before turning heel on the hometown crowd — proof WWE already knows this market delivers. Add this to a growing list of overseas swings for WWE, which has already run Clash at the Castle in Scotland, Clash in Paris and Clash in Italy as it chases audiences outside the U.S. Ireland now gets its marquee moment, and having both Lynch and Balor attached to the reveal only raises the stakes for a night that's already being framed as historic before a single match is booked.

Ever since WWE programming moved to the streaming giant back in January, viewers have grown used to spotting the odd edit here and there on the replay versions of shows. This week, it's Monday Night Raw's turn, with a spicy line from Becky Lynch getting quietly scrubbed from the record. During her promo exchange with Liv Morgan on the August 3 episode, Lynch went for the jugular, telling the WWE Women's World Champion she wasn't even the best champion in her own stable — before adding a much cheekier dig, pointing out that Morgan isn't even the best champion to have been romantically linked with Dominik Mysterio, throwing shade at Morgan's on-screen history alongside Rhea Ripley. Except if you only caught Raw on the Netflix replay, you'd have no clue it ever happened. The line about Dominik has been sliced clean out, with the segment now cutting straight from Lynch's "own stable" dig into Stephanie Vaquer's return, as if the Dominik reference simply never existed. This is far from the first time Netflix has taken the editing scissors to WWE programming, and it certainly won't be the last. The go-home Raw before SummerSlam alone had a handful of changes made to it. As a general rule, it seems Netflix's edits tend to fall into two camps: profanity, and anything that might make for uncomfortable viewing. Jade Cargill's wig malfunction on the June 12 episode of SmackDown got the same treatment, disappearing from the replay without a trace. Blood has proven to be just as much of a headache. The Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins Steel Cage Match from Night of Champions was left borderline unwatchable on the Netflix version, with Breakker's bloodied face blurred out for large chunks of the match. Whether it's a stray curse word, a bit of on-screen chaos, or a line that's a little too risqué for Netflix's liking, one thing's becoming clear — if you want to see WWE programming the way it was actually broadcast, live viewing is the only way to guarantee you're not missing anything.

The term "Four Horsewomen" in WWE evokes a sense of revolution and accomplishment. It refers to a quartet of wrestlers – Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Bayley – who rose to prominence together in NXT, WWE's developmental brand. Their impact transcended NXT, forever changing the landscape of women's wrestling in WWE. ## During their time in NXT, the Four Horsewomen honed their craft and delivered consistently stellar matches. They pushed each other to new heights, captivating audiences with their athleticism, storytelling, and undeniable charisma. Their success was instrumental in the "Divas Revolution," a movement that demanded better storylines and in-ring opportunities for female wrestlers. ## Ripley's defining moment came at the 2023 Royal Rumble. Entering as the number one entrant, she defied the odds and became the first woman ever to win the Rumble from that position. This victory propelled her towards a championship showdown with Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania. At the Grandest Stage of Them All, Ripley delivered a dominant performance, dethroning Flair and capturing the SmackDown Women's Championship. She now most recently defeated Becky Lynch to retain the Women's World Championship. ## In her post-match press conference at WrestleMania XL, Rhea Ripley addressed the future of the Four Horsewomen era following her victory over Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. ## "You know, the Four Horsemen Era, it will live on forever. They accomplished so much. They took the women's division to heights that we could have only dreamt of. They've done so much for the business and I have all the respect for every single one of them. I feel like the way that I've been going WrestleMania after WrestleMania finally knocking off the Horsewoman and the same as Bianca Belair. She's been doing the same. ## We've been proving that there is a shift coming and these new women they are taking over and we're showing out with trying to take it to higher heights that it has been taken to. Obviously, for those women, they're amazing at what they do, and we don't want them to leave but they're going to have to move over, because we're taking over at the same time." ## While the group hasn't officially been together for some time, their influence continues to be felt. As of April 2024, three of the Four Horsewomen – Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley – are still with WWE. Sasha Banks, however, recently left the company. Their individual paths may have diverged, but their legacy as a collective force that revolutionized women's wrestling in WWE remains undeniable. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
