WWE presented the October 26, 2026, edition of Monday Night Raw from Fresno, California, with the Undisputed WWE Championship, the Women’s World Championship, and the ongoing rivalry between The Vision and their challengers taking center stage.
The show featured Sami Zayn defending his championship against Je’Von Evans, Bayley battling Lyra Valkyria in a No Disqualification match, and Iyo Sky facing Raquel Rodriguez. The main event saw Liv Morgan defend the Women’s World Championship against Becky Lynch, with the closing moments setting up a chaotic scene involving multiple challengers and a potential championship cash-in by Tiffany Stratton.
General Manager Adam Pearce opened the show by announcing that Stephanie Vaquer was not medically cleared to compete. However, Becky Lynch remained in Fresno and would challenge Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship later in the evening.
Before Pearce could continue, Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn interrupted and complained about being overlooked while Roman Reigns was able to skip the Fresno show. Zayn delivered a lengthy speech about his accomplishments, claiming that he had done more with less than anyone else in WWE and that The Bloodline reached its greatest heights when he was involved.
Zayn also criticized fans for needing to be told who the great wrestlers were, insisting that he deserved more recognition. He warned that Reigns was making a mistake by focusing on the group known as 946, which includes Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, Carmelo Hayes, and Jaida Parker.
When Zayn began discussing the disrespect he felt from Je’Von Evans, the young star appeared and confronted the champion. Evans challenged Zayn’s attitude and declared that he would welcome the opportunity to take the WWE Championship and face Reigns at Crown Jewel.
Zayn dismissed Evans, telling him to return in five to eight years when he had reached his potential. Pearce then returned to the ring and gave Zayn the opportunity to earn respect by immediately defending his championship against Evans.

During the match, Penta appeared at ringside as Zayn briefly stepped outside the ring. Evans caught the champion with a cutter after Zayn returned, but Bron Breakker attacked Penta before he could enter the ring. Evans took Breakker out with a pescado, but the distraction allowed Zayn to recover.
Zayn connected with an Exploder Suplex followed by the Helluva Kick to secure the victory and retain his championship.
The post-match action quickly escalated. Breakker confronted Zayn, who exited the ring and allowed Breakker to attack Evans. Penta then entered the ring and fought off Breakker, only for “Big” Bronson Reed to ambush him. Logan Paul subsequently appeared as Breakker delivered a Spear to Penta. Breakker positioned Penta for a Tsunami, but struck him with another Spear before Reed connected with an additional Tsunami.
Backstage, Penta and Evans were later evaluated by medical personnel. Both were expected to be okay, and Evans made it clear that he was not finished with The Vision. Penta and Evans challenged Breakker and Austin Theory for the World Tag Team Championship, and Pearce officially granted them the match for Crown Jewel.
WWE also announced that next week’s Raw from Brooklyn, New York, will begin at a special time of 6 p.m. Eastern / 3 p.m. Pacific.

Women’s World Championship: Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan ended in a no-contest, with Morgan retaining the title.
The main event began with Lynch challenging Morgan for the Women’s World Championship. The contest ultimately broke down when Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez became physically involved after initially coming to Morgan’s aid as Lynch attempted to apply the Dis-Arm-Her.
The interference prevented a decisive finish, and Morgan remained champion following the no-contest ruling.
After the match, Rodriguez struck Lynch with the Tejana Bomb. Chelsea Green then rushed to the ring and quickly took the fight to Perez before outsmarting Rodriguez. However, Morgan caught Green with a Codebreaker.
Iyo Sky then appeared to even the numbers, and Morgan was hit with the Un-Pretty-Her as the ringside chaos continued. Perez subsequently took Green out of the equation, leaving the situation open for another major development.
Tiffany Stratton suddenly arrived with a referee, appearing ready to cash in her opportunity on Morgan. Stratton connected with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever and attempted to capitalize on the champion’s condition.
Before the cash-in could be completed, Dominik Mysterio unexpectedly appeared and carried Morgan out of the ring, bringing the show to an abrupt conclusion.
The ending left Stratton unable to complete the apparent championship opportunity, while Morgan escaped with the Women’s World Championship still in her possession. The interference from Judgment Day, the involvement of Green and Sky, and Stratton’s attempted cash-in ensured that the Women’s World Championship picture remained unsettled heading toward the next episode of Raw.
