WWE Raw Summary and Highlights
- Stephanie Vaquer called out Liv Morgan for a fight, taking shots at every Womenās World Champion who came before and after her. Morgan and The Judgment Day jumped Vaquer, who eventually got backup from Becky Lynch.
- Lynch and Vaquer evened the numbers, but the two former champions ended up face to face in a tense standoff of their own before The Judgment Day capitalized and laid both women out. It was later announced backstage that Vaquer will return next week for the first time since WrestleMania, with both her and Lynch still eyeing the Womenās World Championship.
- JeāVon Evans vs JD McDonagh: Evans won the match with an OG Cutter after battling through knee work from McDonagh and outside interference.

- Bron Breakker called out Oba Femi, but Paul Heyman answered instead, needling Breakker over who he really believes is the future of WWE. Femiās music interrupted before Heyman could respond, and Femi declared himself the future, invoking Brock Lesnarās endorsement from earlier in the summer. Heyman then announced that Oba Femi will face Bron Breakker at Sunday Nightās Main Event in Atlanta, Breakkerās hometown.

- Main event angle: Roman Reigns called for The Usos to bring Solo Sikoa to the ring. Reigns aired a vignette of his Tribal Combat win over Sikoa from Rawās Netflix debut before snatching and stomping on Sikoaās glasses. Jacob Fatu hit Sikoa with a superkick and a Tongan Death Grip before Reigns called him off.
- Reigns anointed The Usos as his captains, prompting LA Knight to run in and clear them from the ring. Fatu overpowered Knight before Reigns stopped him and hit Knight with a Superman Punch, then ordered Solo Sikoa to finish Knight off.
