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

WWE Monday Night Raw returns this week on August 17, 2026, live from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The show streams live on Netflix in the United States starting at 8:00 PM ET, continuing the post-SummerSlam build as several ongoing storylines head toward their next chapter. The card is headlined by Chad Gable defending his newly won Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio, alongside two first-round matches in the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament, a Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria, and the long-awaited return of Roman Reigns, who is set to be on hand as Jey Uso delivers Solo Sikoa to him following weeks of Bloodline fallout. WWE Raw 8/17/26 Confirmed Match Card WWE Intercontinental Championship: Chad Gable (c) vs. Rey Mysterio Gable won the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam by defeating Penta, and he wasted no time lining up his first challenger. On the following episode of Raw, Gable approached Mysterio backstage and called him "the greatest luchador of all time," offering him a shot at the title as a sign of respect. Mysterio, who is currently juggling in-ring competition with his role as General Manager of AAA, accepted on the spot. Gable said he'd get Raw GM Adam Pearce to make it official, and Pearce has now confirmed the match for this week's show. It will be just the second-ever singles meeting between the two, with Mysterio winning their first encounter back in October 2022. Sol Ruca vs. Lyra Valkyria This one grows out of the increasingly tense dynamic in the women's division. Ruca has been chasing a rematch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, while Valkyria — the first-ever holder of that title — has grown more erratic in recent weeks, repeatedly bringing up her attack on Bayley at Madison Square Garden. The two clashed backstage after Ruca and IYO Sky's tag win on August 10, arguing over who deserves the next shot at the title. That unresolved tension sets up this singles matchup, with both women looking to establish themselves as the top contender. Roman Reigns Returns Roman Reigns is advertised to make his return to WWE television this week, stepping back into the spotlight as the World Heavyweight Championship picture continues to take shape around him via the ongoing No. 1 Contender's Tournament. Jey Uso to Deliver Solo Sikoa to Roman Reigns This segment is the payoff to a stipulation match earlier on Raw, where Jey Uso defeated Solo Sikoa under terms that determined Sikoa's future with the Bloodline. Had Sikoa won, he would have been free of the group for good; instead, Uso's victory means Sikoa must fall back in line, and Uso is set to personally deliver him to Reigns on this show. World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament: Rey Fenix vs. El Fiscal One of two first-round matches set to determine who eventually earns a shot at Reigns' World Heavyweight Championship, pitting Fenix's high-flying lucha style against El Fiscal in a first-round showdown. World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament: Dragon Lee vs. El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. The second first-round tournament match of the night, continuing WWE's push to spotlight top lucha libre talent as part of the road to crowning Reigns' next challenger. Predicted Match Card Chad Gable retains the Intercontinental Championship in a competitive back-and-forth with Rey Mysterio, likely with some form of outside interference or a controversial finish, given how protective WWE has been of new champions so soon after a title change. Solo Sikoa doesn't go quietly when Jey Uso brings him in front of Roman Reigns — expect a chaotic segment, possibly with another Bloodline member inserting themselves, rather than a clean, peaceful resolution. Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix both advance in their respective tournament matches, setting up a lucha-heavy path toward the next World Heavyweight Championship contender. Where and When to Watch WWE Raw WWE Raw airs live in the United States on Netflix at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT.

Chad Gable vs. Rey Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship is officially set for tomorrow night's WWE Raw. The title match headlines a stacked card that also features tournament action, a Roman Reigns appearance, and fallout from the Jey Uso–Solo Sikoa stipulation match. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced it in an Instagram post ahead of Monday's show, which airs live from the KeyBank Centre in Buffalo, New York. The match itself came together after Gable won the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam by defeating Penta. On the following episode of Raw, Gable approached Mysterio backstage, calling him "the greatest luchador of all time" and offering him the first shot at the title. Mysterio, currently balancing in-ring competition with his role as General Manager of AAA, accepted the challenge on the spot, and Gable said he'd get Pearce to make it official — which he has now done for tomorrow's show. It marks just the second-ever singles meeting between the two, with their first coming back in October 2022. The rest of the card is loaded around the ongoing World Heavyweight Championship picture. Two first-round matches in the No. 1 Contender's Tournament are set, with Dragon Lee taking on El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., and Rey Fenix squaring off against El Fiscal, as WWE continues narrowing the field for a future shot at Roman Reigns' title. Reigns himself is advertised to appear on the show. Also on tap is a women's division matchup between Sol Ruca and Lyra Valkyria, along with continued fallout from Jey Uso's win over Solo Sikoa, as the Bloodline storyline moves toward Reigns' return.

Rey Mysterio has explained why Dominik Mysterio was not included in the ongoing tournament that will determine who gets a chance to face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship in Mexico City. The tournament features wrestlers from WWE's RAW and SmackDown brands, along with stars from AAA. Rey, who is the general manager of AAA, helped set up the tournament to give young luchadores a chance to compete for a major opportunity. Dominik Mysterio was one name that stood out as an omission. He is currently the AAA Mega Champion, but Rey explained that his son does not have the same lucha libre training as the wrestlers taking part in the tournament. “Well, I could say for one, he has never trained lucha libre,” Rey said. “He could say he's the best luchador. Yeah, he does a couple moves here and there, but his training was always on the American side. He trained in Tampa, he trained in Canada, and he trained, you know, in San Diego.” Rey said that being a luchador means more than simply using lucha libre moves. He believes the training and experience that wrestlers go through from the beginning are an important part of becoming a luchador. “So when you speak about luchadores, you know, born and raised, that's your bread and butter. That's where you began. That's where you got your ass kicked,” Rey explained. “Every time you stepped into the ring, they made you sweat, you threw up, you wanted to get out of the ring, but no, they pulled you back in.” Rey also made it clear that he and Dominik have different views on what makes someone a luchador. “I think my concept of a luchador is completely different from Dom's concept,” Rey said. The interviewer then asked Rey if he was basically saying that Dominik was a fraud. Rey did not agree with that description. “I never said he was a fraud,” Rey said. “But I don't consider him. Let's just say this. I don't consider him the greatest luchador of all time.” The comments are interesting because Dominik has become a major WWE star and is currently the AAA Mega Champion. However, Rey believes that his son's wrestling training is different from that of wrestlers who were trained in lucha libre from the start. For Rey, the tournament is about giving wrestlers with a lucha libre background the chance to prove themselves. That is why he believes Dominik was not the right fit for this particular competition. Rey and Dominik have had a complicated relationship on WWE television in recent years, but this time the issue is not about their family history. Rey was simply explaining why he believes Dominik does not meet his definition of a luchador.

Rey Mysterio has spent decades defying expectations inside the wrestling ring, but the WWE legend is now openly acknowledging that his career may eventually be approaching its final chapter. Despite remaining active and taking on a new role as AAA's general manager, Mysterio revealed that he has recently found himself asking whether it could finally be time to retire. The subject of retirement has become increasingly relevant in WWE, with several major names from Mysterio's generation recently stepping away from the ring. At SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar announced his retirement, following AJ Styles and John Cena, both of whom also brought their legendary in-ring careers to an end. Mysterio, who was part of WWE's iconic 2002 generation alongside many of those stars, was asked how he views the remaining years of his own career and whether he thinks in terms of matches, years or simply listening to his body. The Hall of Famer admitted that retirement has become something he has genuinely been thinking about. “Man, I honestly, most recently have been battling with, ‘Is it getting close to my time to retire?’” Mysterio said. “I certainly don't feel like I am, like my body is saying, ‘Okay, now it's time.’ And I always like to listen to my body.” Mysterio's comments suggest that while retirement is now part of his thinking, he does not believe he has reached that point yet. The 51-year-old continues to enjoy wrestling and has also embraced his position as AAA's general manager, where he has been focused on helping younger luchadores receive opportunities. That new responsibility has given Mysterio another reason to remain involved in the business, even as he recognizes that the spotlight eventually has to move toward the next generation. “I am enjoying the position of being AAA's GM and seeing young rising stars come up in the game,” Mysterio explained. “But at the end of the day, it's like, man, I really enjoy what I do on every level. Obviously, I enjoy wrestling a lot more than being behind the cameras.” Mysterio also acknowledged the reality that opportunities become more limited as a wrestler gets older. Rather than viewing that as something negative, however, he appears comfortable with allowing younger performers to take their turn. “I do understand that opportunities are very little. And there's others that are gonna come before me right now because it's time to make or to give the spotlight to other superstars, especially in the lucha libre world,” Mysterio said. “So I am okay with that.” For Mysterio, walking away may not necessarily be something that comes after a carefully planned final match or a specific number of years. Instead, he suggested that the decision could arrive unexpectedly when he feels the time is right. “And I think as far as tapping out, you know, never say never, but it can just pop up one day just out of nowhere and say, ‘Okay, now it's time,’” Mysterio said.

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.
