WWE Raw returned to Netflix from Des Moines, Iowa, for the fallout episode following SummerSlam 2026. With the dust still settling from the Biggest Party of the Summer, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns opened the show, while several major storylines began taking shape following the weekend's events.

The show featured championship celebrations, heated confrontations, the return of Big Cass and Stephanie Vaquer, and a violent Street Fight main event between Jacob Fatu and Royce Keys.

Roman Reigns and LA Knight Open Raw

Roman Reigns kicked off the show inside Casey's Center, fresh off his victory over Seth Rollins in the SummerSlam Sunday main event.

The WWE World Heavyweight Champion asked the Des Moines crowd to acknowledge him before discussing Rollins. Reigns referred to Rollins as his brother and suggested that the two may have finally found peace after their brutal rivalry.

Reigns acknowledged that Rollins was from Des Moines and encouraged the crowd to sing Rollins' theme. The fans obliged, singing the song throughout the arena.

The moment was interrupted by LA Knight.

Knight congratulated Reigns on defeating Rollins but argued that the champion was still a fraud. Knight reminded Reigns that he had defeated members of The Bloodline and claimed that Reigns owed him a one-on-one opportunity.

Knight said the match could happen tonight, next week, at Money in the Bank or even WrestleMania. Regardless of when it happened, Knight promised that the answer would be "Yah!"

Reigns mocked Knight's claim of being a "Mega Star," pointing out his inexpensive watch before dismissing Knight's recent victories. Reigns declared that the days of complaining and demanding championship opportunities were over and told Knight to get to the back of the line.

Knight refused to back down. He mocked Reigns and The Shield, calling the champion a fraud and claiming he was everything Reigns wished he could have been.

Knight promised to send Reigns "back to factory settings" before spelling out his name and delivering another emphatic "Yah!"

Knight left the ring while continuing to antagonize Reigns, leaving the champion visibly irritated.

Je'Von Evans Defeats Ethan Page

Je'Von Evans and Ethan Page squared off in the night's opening match.

Evans used his athleticism early, countering Page's attempts to slow the pace with springboard offense, a slingshot headscissors, a dropkick and a plancha to the floor.

Page eventually took control and targeted Evans with a series of strikes, suplexes, backbreakers and attacks to the lower back. Page repeatedly taunted Evans while maintaining control.

Evans eventually mounted a comeback, but Page continued finding ways to cut him off. Page nearly stole the match by using the ropes for leverage, then came close to victory after hitting the Confidence Breaker and a powerslam.

Page attempted to expose a turnbuckle, but the referee caught him. Evans used the distraction to avoid both Page and the referee before connecting with the double-jump cutter.

Winner: Je'Von Evans

Big Cass Returns

The celebration didn't last long.

Big Cass made a surprise return to WWE immediately following the match and attacked Evans.

Cass blasted Evans with a big boot before following up with a clothesline. He then dragged Evans around the ring and finished the assault with a bear hug into East River Crossing.

The shocking return established Cass as an immediate threat on the Raw roster.

The Bloodline Discusses LA Knight

Backstage, Roman Reigns addressed The Bloodline following the events earlier in the evening.

Reigns said that while he wanted to maintain respect within the group, the recent loss involving Jacob Fatu was unacceptable. He reminded Fatu that losing was not an option, particularly against his younger brother.

Reigns also questioned the relationship between Royce Keys and Fatu, insisting that Keys was not family.

Jey Uso said they would handle LA Knight, but Reigns immediately claimed Knight for himself.

Knight then walked past The Bloodline and sarcastically asked if he had heard someone say they wanted to leave him alone. He told them he would see them next week.

Liv Morgan Claims She's the Greatest Women's Champion

Women's World Champion Liv Morgan came to the ring alongside Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.

Liv proclaimed herself the greatest Women's Champion of all time and praised IYO SKY for being the only woman who had truly challenged her.

After defeating SKY at SummerSlam, Liv said she no longer saw anyone worthy of stepping up to her. She declared that she would become the longest-reigning Women's Champion in WWE history.

Liv also congratulated Raquel Rodriguez on becoming the new Women's Intercontinental Champion and predicted that Roxanne Perez would defeat Sol Ruca later in the evening.

Liv concluded by claiming that her group controlled Monday Night Raw.

Sol Ruca Defeats Roxanne Perez by Disqualification

Sol Ruca immediately attacked Roxanne Perez before the official start of their match, forcing Perez to retreat to the floor.

Once the bell rang, Perez attempted to slow Ruca down, using holds and deliberate attacks to frustrate her opponent.

Ruca responded with her athletic offense, including a back senton, dropkick and moonsault from the ring post to the floor.

The match changed when Ruca attempted the Rainbow DDT and landed awkwardly, injuring her arm.

Perez immediately exploited the injury, targeting Ruca's arm with an armbar, hammerlock and hammerlock DDT. She repeatedly drove Ruca's shoulder into the ring post while keeping her opponent grounded.

Ruca eventually rallied, hitting a series of strikes and a German suplex before scoring another near fall.

Ruca attempted the Sol Snatcher, but Liv Morgan interfered.

The referee immediately called for the bell.

Winner via Disqualification: Sol Ruca

Following the match, Perez hit Ruca with Pop Rox while Raquel delivered the Tejana Bomb.

That brought out Becky Lynch.

Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer Return

Becky Lynch returned to Raw and confronted Liv Morgan.

Lynch said she had already made the Women's Intercontinental Championship famous and declared that her work with the title was finished.

She criticized Liv's championship reign, arguing that the Women's World Champion had become little more than a glorified valet. Lynch demanded that Liv defend her title rather than focus on flirting and insisted that her reign had been one of the worst in history.

Liv responded by telling Lynch that she should be at home being a mother and accused her of being jealous because her time had passed.

Lynch then warned Liv that things were about to become much worse.

Stephanie Vaquer's music hit.

Vaquer returned to WWE and immediately went after Liv, tackling and punching the Women's World Champion.

Raquel and Roxanne were also taken down as Liv scrambled to escape the ring.

Lynch and Vaquer then had a tense confrontation of their own. Vaquer warned Lynch to stay out of her way, leading to an intense staredown between the two returning stars.

Cass declared that he had returned to WWE to "stack bodies" and said Evans was only the first.

He concluded by declaring that he was not finished pursuing championship gold and would eventually become Intercontinental Champion.

Chad Gable Celebrates Winning the Intercontinental Championship
