WWE RAW this week will go live from Buffalo.
WWE Raw returns tonight, August 17, 2026, live from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, and the go-home energy around the Bloodline saga has never felt higher.
Jey Uso is expected to deliver Solo Sikoa to Roman Reigns after defeating him in last week’s WWE Raw stipulation match; Royce Keys remains sidelined following Jacob Fatu’s brutal assault, and LA Knight’s simmering issues with Fatu and Reigns are still unresolved.
4. Solo Sikoa fully rejoins The Bloodline and turns on Jey Uso
The most direct outcome. Jey delivers Solo to Roman Reigns as promised, but instead of resisting, Solo embraces his old family, Jacob Fatu, and Jimmy Uso, then turns on Jey to close the show with a Bloodline beatdown.
This would set up a fresh Jey-versus-Solo dynamic heading into the fall while re-establishing Reigns as the group’s unquestioned head.
3. Solo Sikoa rejects the Bloodline and Jey ends up the target
An alternate route has Solo standing defiant in front of Reigns once again, refusing to kneel despite the stipulation.
Fatu and the Usos surround him anyway, and the show ends with Solo getting overwhelmed, leaving the door open for Jey to make a save and reignite tension between the two former Bloodline members rather than a clean reunion.
2. Royce Keys returns to confront Jacob Fatu
Michael Cole announced Keys was out indefinitely with a bruised larynx and cervical strain after Fatu’s chair-assisted attack on August 3 on Raw.
A surprise return tonight, even a brief appearance from the entrance ramp or backstage area, would be a natural way to plant seeds for a rematch once Keys is fully cleared, especially with Fatu already positioned as Reigns’s enforcer.
1. LA Knight aids and attacks Fatu or Reigns
‘The Megastar’ LA Knight has unfinished business with both Fatu, who beat him for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41, and Reigns, whom he confronted on the August 3 show.
With Solo’s Bloodline status hanging over the night, a chaotic ending where Knight storms out to attack Fatu mid-celebration, or even targets Reigns directly, would keep Knight firmly in the Bloodline orbit and give Raw a hot go-home moment before the next block of storylines develops.
