The Raw Live Report For 11/02/26

The Raw Live Report

THE ONLY BLVD!

It’s Monday Night so it’s time to get Raw from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Thanks to Daylight Savings Time, and Crown Jewel coming up this weekend, the show has an early start time of 6pm ET and Friday SmackDown will be taped immediately afterwards. But tonight for Raw we have an Intercontinental Title Match featuring the champion Chad Gable putting the gold on the line against Ethan Page. Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee square off against The Vision. Solo Sikoa battles Royce Keys. Roman Reigns will address his Champion vs Champion Match against Sami Zayn at Crown Jewel. And, for the first time since retiring, John Cena is returning to Monday Night Raw in Brooklyn for a special announcement.

We got a ways to go and so much more – So let’s start the SLAM and see what’s in store!

Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are our commentators, Cathy Kelley and Byron Saxton do the backstage interviews, and “Amazing Hair” Alicia Taylor is our ring announcer.

We’re first reminded that John Cena is here tonight for a huge announcement (a “Classic” announcement?). Then we’re shown the arrivals of our participants for the evening.

We begin live with our OTC and World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns coming to the ring. He starts by saying everyone wants the OTC’s attention. He’s got the secondary champ Sami Zayn, the 946.

Suddenly, Zayn interrupts and comes to the ring. He says Reigns didn’t have to show up, like he didn’t show up last week. But he did. So Zayn says let’ s act like men and say what they have to say to each other’s face family to family, champ to champ.

Reigns questions the face to face. Reigns says he’s confused about family, because Zayn is the one who benefited the most from The Bloodline. If he didn’t bring him into The Bloodline he wouldn’t even be a part of this company much less a champion making all these millings in a single year. When Reigns found him Zayn was just Johnny Knoxville’s little b****.

Zayn goes off that people are going to remember that match from WrestleMania 38 in 20 years. Nobody remembers Roman’s match at WrestleMania 38 and Zayn questions if it was against Brock Lesnar version 6 of 12? The most memorable thing Reigns did lately was getting hit by a chair Zayn swung. Zayn is shaking, sweating and freaking out now. No one is taking his respect away and claiming credit for his hard work. He deserves Reigns attention.

Reigns says the only thing Zayn deserves is a “you’re welcome”. He did all the hard work making Zayn what he is, and all Zayn does is what he told him not to do, which is whine and complain. This is his last week on the island of relevancy, and after Crown Jewel no one will ever talk about him again. Reigns yells for Brooklyn to acknowledge him.

We’re now given a video package featuring Chad Gable and Ethan Page showcasing how they got here.

With that, live we get the entrance to “All Ego” Ethan Page to the ring. The IC title match is next after the break. Once back, Page is in the ring when the IC Champ Chad Gable comes to the ring. Gable looks still taped up from last week’s attack and injury.

Intercontinental Championship Match:
Chad Gable (c) vs Ethan Page

Right off the bell Gable slams down Page and grounds and pounds him. Page gets out of a Suplex and hits a Neckbreaker on Gable. More pounding on Gable’s neck before Page throws him into the corner with force. More shots to Gable’s neck. Poage places Gable up top but Gable fights out. Gable went for a splash, but Page moved as Gable landed on his feet. Page whips Gable to the corner but Gable bounces off with a vicious Clothesline. A clothesline puts Page up and over to the outside. Time for a break.

Back from break both men are back in the ring as they both try to roll each other up for multiple pinfalls. They go back and forth to get control, with Page continuing to target Gable’s neck, until Gable is thrown to the outside. Gable pulls Page’s legs out and smashes his left leg against the steel post. Kicks to Page’s left leg in the ring by Gable including multiple Dragon Screws. Gable gets two German Suplexes but Page hangs onto the corner turnbuckle preventing a third as the turnbuckle comes off. They both try for an Angle Slam, but Gable finally gets the Ankle Lock. Page just gets to the ropes and goes to the outside. Gable with an Angle Slam on the announce desk but it doesn’t break. Moonsault on Page for a close count. Both men on the outside again as Page throws Gable into the barricade and into the timekeeper’s area. Another breakity-break.

The finish finally begins with both men going back and forth. At one point it looked like Gable had Page with a bridging German Suplex, but Gable couldn’t hold the bridge. After Page tried to climb to the top Gable grabbed him and Powerslammed him for a two, immediately going into the Ankle Lock. The ref was checking on Page seeing if he taped out when Page kicked Gable into the exposed turnbuckle. Page hits Gable with the Ego Plex for the win and a new champ.

WINNER and NEW Intercontinental Champion: Ethan Page

After the match the replay made it look like the ref DID see the kick into the exposed turnbuckle even though the ref didn’t fix it earlier. But alas, Page poses up the ramp with his new IC title as pyro goes off.

Next, we’re shown last Monday during Sami Zayn vs Je’Von Evans for the WWE title. Penta came down the ramp, but Bron Breakker attacked. Zayn wins with the distraction as Bronson Reed came in afterwards.

We’re shown Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee getting ready for their match next, but first this word from our sponsors.

Back from break we get a video package showing the 946 saying blood from The Bloodline means nothing. It’s loyalty. Solo Sikoa, with the rest of the Bloodline behind him, accepts Royce Keys’ challenge. Keys says nobody’s safe. Sikoa says he isn’t safe.

Now backstage, Sikoa is getting pumped up by the entire Bloodline.

Now we rewind to last SmackDown with WWE Women’s Champ Chelsea Green confronted by Women’s World Champ Liv Morgan. Tiffany Stratton tried to cash-in her MitB briefcase, but the Judgment Day came down to attack. Once again, they’re saved by IYO SKY.

Now live in the arena, The Judgment Day of Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez, and Raquel Rodriguez come to the ring for a 6-woman tag team match. After the break Green comes out, then Stratton, then SKY.

The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez) vs Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton & IYO SKY:

Perez and Stratton start things off and lock up. The match sees plenty of tags early on as the fan favorites attempt to contain the powerhouse Rodriguez.

After a break we find that their efforts have proven unsuccessful, as Rodriquez has been cut loose. Rodriguez works over SKY, battering her with powerful strikes and brutal slams. SKY eventually manages to fire off a desperate shot that leaves both women down and struggling to recover. Both teams make hot tags, bringing a fresh Stratton into the ring against Morgan. Stratton immediately takes control by showcasing her impressive combination of high-flying and technical skills. A beautiful Swanton Bomb nearly picks up the win, but Morgan manages to get her shoulder up allowing The Judgment Day to briefly regain control. Stratton fights off Rodriguez and connects with a springboard Stunner before attempting to follow up with a cartwheel strike. Rodriguez catches her and plants her into the mat with a devastating Powerbomb. Raquel drags Stratton into the drop zone and looks for a corkscrew elbow drop off the middle rope, but Stratton wisely rolls out of the way. Meanwhile, Perez and Green have recovered on their respective aprons, both eagerly awaiting the hot tag. Stratton tags in Green just as Rodriguez brings Perez into the match, and the two clash with Green gaining the upper hand, firing off multiple running clotheslines to repeatedly put Perez on the mat. Green follows up with an Enzuigiri to drop Perez once again. Green pursues Perez into the corner, but Perez fights back with a maneuver off the top rope and a close call.

SKY makes the save with a dropkick into the ring before the action completely breaks down. SKY plants Morgan with a release German Suplex, only to eat a big boot from Rodriguez! Stratton takes Raquel down with a Hurricanrana, but Perez responds by dropping Stratton with a running mule kick. With the ring finally cleared, Green catches Perez with the Unpretty Her and covers, but the cover is interrupted before the chaos spills to ringside. All six women begin battling in front of the commentary desk, taking one another out in rapid succession as the referee struggles to restore order. We’re reminded that Morgan and Green are the legal competitors as well as opponents in this Saturday’s Crown Jewel showdown. The two champions take the action back into the ring, where Green looks for an Unpretty Her on Morgan but Morgan shoves Green away. Green uses the momentum to rebound off the ropes and slap the taste out of Perez’s mouth as she climbs onto the apron. Unfortunately for Green, Morgan is waiting for her and catches her on the rebound connecting with Ob-Liv-ion to secure the win.

WINNERS: The Judgment Day

Now we go to a phone video from the 946 with Keys saying it’s about strength in numbers.

Up next after the commercial, Cena’s time is now!

When we come back, in the ring looks to be a championship title covered up. And then, the G.O.A.T., JOHN CENA! The crowd sings along as he slides into the ring. Taylor tries to introduce him, but Cena stops her and invites her in the ring. He tells her something. Cena stops the music and Taylor gives him an overly hyped, cheap popped for Brooklyn, introduction. The crowd chants.

Cena says if you want to make history with a big announcement you bring it to NYC. Tonight, we’re talking about the John Cena Classic. He’s got a total of three announcements. First, December 14^th will be two Monday Night Raws in one night. The first from Perth, the second featuring the “John Cena Classic” will be from Disney World. Number two is “what the hell is that?” as he points to the title under the black cloth. It’s the JCC Championship Title he now debuts. It’s mostly super shiny with gold and diamonds, with “John Cena Champion” around the top and bottom and himself posing with the words “Classic” in shiny silver in the middle. He says his name is on this event and title. It’s about hustle, loyalty, and respect. Which comes number three. Who is in the JCC. He says the first competitor is invited. And it is… Cody Rhodes! Rhodes makes his full entrance with pyro.

Cena said he’s going to SmackDown, NXT, and even Survivor Series for more invites. Cena called him QB1 and thought he was carrying a weight he couldn’t handle. But he was wrong. Rhodes is carrying a weight Cena never could. This event is everything Rhodes is and Cena officially shakes Rhodes’ hand making Rhodes the first contender in the JCC.

Cue Randy Orton. Rhodes takes his jacket off as they jaw back and forth off mic. Orton apologizes for interrupting (the explicative cut out) but he wants his attention to talk about something. At Crown Jewel, their Last Man Standing match, to Rhodes, is just a stipulation and something Rhodes has zero experience in. To him it’s something more. 25 years ago Orton was in this business with Cena, Lesnar, and Batista. But they’re retired. He has no aspirations to be in movies because this business is in his veins. Years ago he broke his back, but he came back. If Rhodes breaks his back again he’ll go back and get stitched back up again like “RoboCop” because a professional wrestler is what he does.

Orton then mentions he wrestled Rhodes’ father at the “Great American Bash” in 2007 and retired him. He kicked Rhodes’ father in the head. He can call him the “Rhodes Killer”. But if his American Dream was to be just like his daddy, he’ll make sure the dream comes true.

Next, we’re shown last Monday’s Raw (again) with Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria in a no holds barred match. Bayley won by submission using a Kendo stick.

Now we’re backstage where Bayley is speaking with Raw GM Adam Pearce. Bayley says her issues with Valkyria are firmly in the past and she’s eager to find out what’s next for her. Unfortunately, she’s immediately interrupted by Jade Cargill and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Michin and B-Fad. They feel that Bayley isn’t important enough to be taking up the GM’s valuable time when they have business of their own to discuss. Bayley doesn’t take the interruption kindly and things quickly get heated. Cargill warns Bayley that what happened to Charlotte Flair can just as easily happen to her. The two exchange words, teasing a potential future showdown.

Now back live, The Vision make their way out ahead of our next break. Then Senor MitB Penta comes out, followed by Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee for their six-man tag team match.

The Vision (Austin Theory, Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed) vs Penta, Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee:

The instant the bell sounds The Vision attacks, and an all-out brawl ensues that eventually leaves Evans and Theory in the ring as our legal men to start things off. The two immediately begin unloading on one another, trading blows until Theory catches Evans with a kick to the gut to create an opening. Theory quickly tags in Reed, who immediately begins working over Evans. The Vision starts isolating Evans in their corner, using frequent tags to keep him off balance while taking every opportunity to double-team him. The faction maintains control through quick exchanges, preventing Evans from reaching his partners as they continue wearing him down.

Penta manages to grab Breakker’s leg as the powerhouse sets up for a Spear as part of a double-team maneuver, dragging him outside before he can connect. Penta takes the fight to Breakker at ringside, battling him down before returning to his corner and making the hot tag to Evans. Penta immediately comes in laying out members of The Vision as his team finally begins building some momentum. We head to a mid-match-‘mercial.

We return to find Reed working over Lee this time, maintaining a slow, methodical pace as The Vision resumes its strategy of isolating an opponent in their corner. Eventually, after a failed maneuver, Penta and Breakker get the hot tags. Penta immediately goes to work on Breakker’s legs, unloading with a series of low kicks to soften up the powerhouse. Penta continues his offensive with a barrage of kicks and step-up Enzuigiris before connecting with his corner handstand sternum stomp and gets a two-count. Penta looks for the Penta Driver, but Breakker fights him off and responds with a beautiful standing leaping knee strike to the chin. Penta manages to tag in Evans, and the duo unloads with a series of stereo Superkicks on Breakker. Evans looks for the cover, but Theory makes the save before sending Evans crashing into the ring post. Lee enters and catches Theory with a Superkick of his own, following up with a Tornado DDT. Reed enters and takes out Lee, only for Penta to come in and take out Reed. Breakker quickly puts an end to Penta’s momentum, leaving Evans alone in the ring as the powerhouse sets up for a Spear. Evans manages to sidestep the attempt as Breakker crashes and burns.

Meanwhile, Logan Paul grabs Penta’s Dinero en el Banco briefcase and attempts to slide it to Breakker in the ring. Penta spots the attempted interference and puts a stop to it before stalking Paul at ringside. Reed catches Penta with a running splash, taking him out of the equation. Lee exits the ring and catches Reed with a Superkick, but before he can return to the ring, Reed grabs him and drives him into the floor. Evans launches himself over the top rope, taking out Reed with a suicide dive. Evans returns to the ring and connects with a maneuver Joe Tessitore calls “Red Sun, Red Dot” but The Vision manages to regain control. Breakker takes the tag as Theory grabs Evans by the arm, holding him in position for Breakker to charge off the ropes and connects with a devastating Spear. Breakker covers for the win.

WINNERS: The Vision

We now go to somewhere backstage where Bayley is being brutally beaten down by Jade Cargill and the Baddies. The trio continues their assault on Bayley, making good on Cargill’s earlier threat. Pearce and several WWE officials rush to the scene as the bad girls leave. The officials check on Bayley, who remains on the floor writhing in pain following the three-on-one beatdown.

After the break we run down the current card for Crown Jewel this weekend. Solo Sikoa begins his entrance for the main event one-on-one match before we head to yet another break. We return from break (again) to find Solo Sikoa already in the ring as Royce Keys makes his way through the audience accompanied by fellow 946 member Jaida Parker.

Solo Sikoa vs Royce Keys:

The two men start things off at a deliberately slow pace, taking their time as they exchange calculated, powerful strikes and grapple for control. Neither man seems particularly interested in rushing into anything, with both relying on their strength and physicality to try to establish an early advantage. Solo eventually gains the upper hand, taking control of the exchange before connecting with a stiff Clothesline that sends Keys flying over the top rope and crashing to ringside. Sikoa stands tall as we head to yet another commercial break.

The action continues at a slow yet physical pace, with neither man particularly interested in speeding things up. Sikoa enjoys a lengthy stretch of control, using powerful running slams and hip attacks to wear down Keys. Keys eventually manages to turn things around after avoiding a Samoan Spike, taking Sikoa up onto the top turnbuckle and slowly unloading with a series of strikes, accompanied by a few choice words for his opponent. Throughout the match, Parker has been making her presence felt around the commentary area, although the faction’s other members have been conspicuously absent (foreshadowing much?). Sikoa eventually fights back, shoving Keys off the turnbuckle before launching himself from the top rope and connecting with an Uso Splash. Sikoa calls for the Samoan Spike looking to put Keys away, but suddenly we’ve got company as the remainder of the 946’s OTM, Nima & Price, hit the ring and attack Sikoa before he can finish off Keys. The ref immediately calls for the bell, bringing this short main event match to an abrupt end.

But we still got time left, so it isn’t over yet!

Solo heads up the ramp, laughing and the 946 in the ring. Sure enough, the music hits, and here comes The Bloodline. Roman Reigns leads Jimmy and Jey Uso down the ramp, slowly making their way toward Sikoa before the four men reunite and enter the ring. The two factions spend a few tense moments jockeying for position and jawing at one another. And then it’s on! An all-out brawl erupts with Keys and Reigns left inside the ring as the other six men battle at ringside. Keys attempts to unload on the OTC, but Reigns quickly turns the tables and catches him with a Superman Punch. Reigns follows up with another Superman Punch on one of OTM’s members as he attempts to enter the ring, sending him back outside. Reigns begins setting up for a Spear, but just as he charges forward a masked man comes from nowheresville and throws a steel chair directly into his face.

The masked attacker immediately enters the ring and Clotheslines Reigns to the mat before turning his attention toward Keys, offering him a hand and helping him back to his feet. He removes his mask, revealing himself as Cruz Montana from NXT! The 946 have gained their fifth member (for War Games), and Montana wastes no time making his intentions clear by joining the 946 beating up The Bloodline in a 5-on-4 advantage. The five men launch a vicious assault. Jaida Parker brings a set of handcuffs into the ring, and the faction uses them to secure Jimmy Uso to the bottom rope before stomping away at the defenseless “Big Jim”. Meanwhile, Montana focuses his attention on Reigns, repeatedly standing over the fallen OTC and unloading with fists to the face while jawing at him. He is absolutely relentless, battering Reigns with repeated punches as the rest of 946 dismantles the remainder of The Bloodline.

Outside the ring, OTM uses the steel steps to take out Jey Uso before Hayes catches Sikoa with a Superkick. OTM follows up by using the steel steps to take out Sikoa as well, leaving both men down at ringside. The faction then turns its attention toward the commentary/reinforced announce desk and clears it off before working together to hoist Jey Uso into the air and drive him straight through the desk. The destruction continues as 946 regroups inside the ring, stomping away at the handcuffed Jimmy Uso while three members of the faction gang up on Roman Reigns. Parker joins her allies inside the ring as we get replays of the carnage, and it looks like 946 has made their statement loud and clear tonight.

The faction eventually exits through the crowd, leaving behind a ringside area littered with bodies and carnage. Reigns surveys the battered remains of The Bloodline, struggling to pull himself back to his feet with the assistance of the ropes. But we’re not finished yet as here comes the Undisputed WWE Champion. Zayn suddenly hits the ring and catches Reigns with a huge Helluva Kick in the corner.

The credits roll, commentary is absolutely incensed, Jimmy Uso is enraged, and Zayn stands tall over Reigns while trash-talking him.

SmackDown is being taped next, even though it won’t be shown until this Friday at its normal time. We’ll have the spoiler coverage soon as word comes in.

But as for Raw… That’s all, folks.
