Welcome to Monday Night Raw!

Happy Labor Day and welcome to our LIVE results coverage of WWE Monday Night Raw! Tonight’s action comes to us from Legacy Arena in beautiful and buxom Birmingham, Alabama, with Raw getting underway at 8pm EST on Netflix. WWE has four matches officially on the books: Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defends against Stephanie Vaquer, while Money in the Bank qualifying begins with a pair of Triple Threat Matches. Bron Breakker, Ethan Page and Rey Mysterio battle for a spot in the men’s MITB match, while Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri square off on the women’s side. Joe Hendry will also face JD McDonagh, and we’re coming off Sunday Night’s Main Event, so expect some fallout as the red brand marches toward next week’s Raw in Mexico City. We’ll have all that and more tonight when Monday Night Raw gets underway at 8pm EST!

It’s Showtime!

It’s 8pm and we’re now LIVE! We open with Joe Tessitore & Wade Barrett on commentary welcoming us to Birmingham, and we’re shown the parking lot where the Usos arrive with weapons in hand. Barrett mentions they’re worried about getting ambushed again, and that spells trouble. We’re treated to various Superstars shown walking backstage, and tonight’s Vaquer/Morgan championship match is hyped. We’re then treated to clips from last night’s Sunday Night’s Main Event—click here for the results! Highlights include Randy Orton defeating Cody Rhodes after a low blow and RKO, Trick Williams capturing the United States Championship, and Bronson Reed making his return during Oba Femi’s match against Bron Breakker.

In the Ring: The Vision Shares Their Vision

We cut back to the arena and get an entrance for The Vision—World Tag Team Champions Bron Breakker & Austin Theory, Logan Paul, Maxxine Dupri, and the returning Bronson Reed. After strutting to the ring and posing, Breakker gets on the mic and declares that The Vision is now complete. He hears the crowd chanting for Oba Femi and essentially says that, thanks to the help of his returning brother—the “Tribal Thief” Bronson Reed—Femi was destroyed last night. Reed takes the mic and says Oba thought he was a ruler, untouchable and a force of nature—until he was flattened by repeated Tsunamis from Reed and ultimately sent to the hospital. Reed says that now that he’s back, The Vision doesn’t ask what happens around here—they decide it. Logan Paul takes his turn on the mic and is booed heavily. He says he knows the crowd is made up of a bunch of mindless Alabama drones, but even they have to see that the group standing before them is unstoppable. Paul hypes the entire faction and, referring to their immeasurable amount of talent, declares, “At this point, this is literally unfair.”

Theory takes the mic next and chastises the crowd for chanting for Oba. Theory says the reality is that everyone hates to see The Vision shine, but that’s too bad because they’re only getting started when it comes to taking all the gold. He hypes both Breakker and Dupri’s Money in the Bank qualifying matches later tonight. Last but not least, Dupri gets on the mic and starts hyping how hot Theory is until they’re interrupted by Alpha Academy! Thank God. Akira Tozawa comes out alone and stands on the stage. Theory yells into the mic, asking if Tozawa even knows where he’s at. He says that if Tozawa wants a fight, he could let Dupri handle him, but since she’s busy tonight, Theory will just whoop his ass again. Tozawa gets on the mic and says Theory will be fighting tonight—but not against him. And out comes a returning Otis! Otis and Tozawa make their way down the ramp toward the ring, and we’re getting a match!

Singles Match: Austin Theory w/ The Vision vs. Otis w/ Akira Tozawa

The bell rings at 8:12pm and Otis immediately clotheslines Theory down, kicking us off aggressively. This is Otis’ first match since the July 27th Raw, when he and Tozawa lost to Breakker & Theory. He starts off hostile, taking the fight to Theory. Theory hangs in there and capitalizes on an Otis misstep, taking control for a lengthy stretch before we head to our first commercial break of the evening at 8:16pm.

We’re back at 8:19pm and find Theory still in control. He heads outside the ring and takes a moment to make out with Dupri before re-entering, giving Otis the opening he needs to begin his comeback. Otis unloads with brutal clubbing blows and stiff slams, all setting up the Caterpillar. He begins the Caterpillar sequence, but Bronson Reed attacks him at 8:20pm, forcing the disqualification!

Your Winner by Disqualification, Otis! (8 minutes)

After the Match: The Vision Shares a Painful Vision

Reed doesn’t stop there. He begins destroying Otis with heavy blows, with the rest of The Vision quickly joining in. Tozawa enters the ring and bravely tries to stand against them, but the odds are ever in their favor. The Vision beats him down and mocks him until we’re shown footage from backstage—it’s Oba Femi! Femi arrives, shoves a WWE medical official out of his way, and angrily charges toward the ring. The Ruler hits the ring on fire and begins taking it to The Vision, clearing house after brutalizing Reed and Breakker with repeated shoulder thrusts. Theory tries to attack him from behind with a steel chair, but Femi simply shrugs it off and destroys Theory with a brutal Powerbomb.

Femi turns around directly into a missile-strike Spear from Breakker, right into the taped-up ribs injured last night. Reed heads up top and fires off a Tsunami, then a second—and then a third! Oh my stars and garters, Femi has taken at least half a dozen Tsunamis in the span of 24 hours. Multiple WWE officials, including Shane Helms and Jason Jordan, rush the ring and try to get The Vision to stop. Reed goes back up top anyway and delivers one more Tsunami for good measure! Finally, The Vision stands over a broken Ruler before leaving him to the officials.

Backstage: The Usos and Jacob Fatu

Just prior to this, we get a vignette hyping the new 946 faction—Royce Keys, Bronco Nima & Lucien Price. Backstage, The Usos approach Jacob Fatu and want to know what’s up with him, pointing out that he was a killer until last week. Fatu tells them he’s looking at things differently now. He essentially explains that The Bloodline may be fierce in here, but outside WWE, 946 is far more dangerous. The Usos aren’t having it. They essentially tell Fatu to lock in because they need the Samoan Werewolf they’ve always known. With Fatu left to consider their words, we head to break.

Backstage: Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch

We return from break to find Stephanie Vaquer backstage in the locker room when Becky Lynch approaches. Vaquer asks what Lynch wants, and Lynch essentially tells her that she’ll have Vaquer’s back tonight since Judgment Day outnumbers her five-to-one. In return, Lynch simply wants a guarantee that she’ll be first in line to challenge Vaquer if she wins the Women’s World Championship. Vaquer tells Lynch to understand that she doesn’t trust her. Every time she trusts someone, they betray her. She respects Lynch, but she won’t ask for her help tonight. Lynch doesn’t take that especially well and tells Vaquer to go back to losing.

At Ringside: Matt Mathews & The Miz

Cathy Kelley is at ringside with Birmingham native and comedian Matt Mathews. He says it’s incredible to be here, but before he can say anything substantial, he’s interrupted by The Miz and Kit Wilson. Miz points out that he’s been in this business for 20 years and that this marks his 20th anniversary week, so he doesn’t appreciate WWE giving airtime to some “hee-haw hillbilly from Alabama.” Miz then adopts an intentionally awful Southern accent and begins mocking Southern mannerisms and Alabama in general.

Mathews asks Miz who he even is, prompting Wilson to snap that Mathews and these local yokels need to show Miz some respect. Wilson says that if they can’t respect Miz’s 20-year commitment to the industry, then they’re the toxic ones. Mathews says he thinks he actually does know who Miz is—he just thought Miz had retired.

That does it. An angry Miz grabs Mathews, throws him over the barricade and sends him into the ring before telling Wilson to take care of him. Wilson whips Mathews into the ropes, but surprisingly, Mathews rebounds and takes Wilson down with a headscissors! Miz quickly puts an end to the fun, drilling Mathews with a Skull-Crushing Finale and leaving the comedian laid out in the ring. So…are we teasing Miz’s next celebrity match here? I guess we’ll find out.

Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match: Bron Breakker vs. Ethan Page vs. Rey Mysterio

We get Breakker’s entrance and another commercial break at 8:37pm! After we return, we get the entrance of WWE Hall of Famer, legendary luchador and King of the Cruiserweights Rey Mysterio, who will also be in action this Friday night against Omos at Triplemanía XXXIV, a two-night event this weekend! I can’t speak for y’all, but I’ll be watching both nights. Last but not least is Ethan Page, who apparently made his entrance during the break. We get our bell at 8:44pm! Page talks to Breakker off-mic, gesturing toward Mysterio. Looks like they may team up against Rey—never mind! Breakker clubs the crap outta Page before attacking Mysterio. Breakker drops Rey and turns his attention back to Page, pounding on him in the corner until Mysterio hops on his back. Page decides to work with Mysterio, and the two try to fight Breakker together. Breakker shrugs Mysterio off his shoulders, rebounds off the ropes twice and lays out Page with a huge lariat!

Breakker begins working over Mysterio, using powerful shoulder thrusts in the corner to weaken his midsection before posting Rey on the top turnbuckle. Page attacks Breakker from behind and then works with Mysterio to set up a Doomsday Machine on Breakker! Nice! Aw man, Breakker wiggles out of it and hits a German Suplex on Page before they can fire it off. Bummer! Mysterio fires off with a seated senton on Breakker, then sends the charging Bron shoulder-first into the ring post. Page quickly rolls Rey up from behind, ever the opportunist, but only gets a short two. Mysterio looks for a 619, but Page hops off the ropes and looks for a Big Boot. Rey ducks under and pounds Page with fists, knocking him across the middle rope to set up another 619 attempt. Breakker catches Rey’s legs as he tries to fire it off and rips him out of the ring! Breakker heads into the ring and throws Page over the top to the outside. Breakker then leaps off the apron, clotheslining Page over the announce desk! He sits atop the desk to taunt the crowd, only to eat a West Coast Pop from Mysterio before we head to break at 8:48pm!

We’re back from break to find the action still underway. Breakker remains in control, looking to pick apart Page and Mysterio one by one. Breakker fires off a German Suplex to the outside, then streaks around ringside looking for his take on the Strowman Express. Both Superstars evade him, however, and Breakker instead spears the steel staircase! This gives Page and Mysterio a stretch of one-on-one action in the ring. Mysterio continues to defy age, relying heavily on his cruiserweight playbook to weather Page’s offense and regain control. As Rey heads up top for a Frog Splash, Breakker recovers and shoves him off the turnbuckle. Breakker re-enters the fray, easily manhandling Page before sending him outside. He then tears into Mysterio, laying him out with a huge Spear to pick up the win and advance at 8:58pm!

Your Winner and Advancing, Bron Breakker! (14 minutes)

Backstage: LA Knight and Solo Sikoa

Knight’s backstage talking to GM Adam Pearce; essentially, he wants his shot at Roman. Pearce reminds him that Reigns defends against Penta next week in Mexico City; this is the way, he has spoken. Knight says basically he’ll do things by his own rules. Solo Sikoa walks up. Sikoa wants revenge on Royce Keys and 946, but Knight tells him he’s got to be smart about this and cautions him against charging headfirst into a fight with the faction. With Sikoa still intent on settling the score, we head to break!

Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match: Sol Ruca vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Maxxine Dupri

We get Sol Ruca’s entrance and head to break. When we return, Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri are already in the ring, and we get our bell at 9:10pm. The opening minutes are mostly a feeling-out process, with all three women trading short bursts of offense and nobody really taking command. No temporary alliances, no dramatic double-teams, no real momentum swings—just three competitors testing each other and trying to find the first opening in what is, for all three, the beginning of the road to the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Fun little wrinkle here: all three bring very different styles to the table, with Ruca’s athleticism, Valkyria’s crisp striking and Dupri’s power giving the match a nice contrast even if nobody has managed to pull ahead yet. With the field still wide open, we head to break at 9:14pm. When we return, Sol Ruca finally comes alive after being relatively quiet for the bulk of the match. Ruca takes it to both Valkyria and Dupri, using her freakish athleticism to wipe them out with improvised kicks and rapid-fire strikes. Ruca sends Valkyria outside and looks for a cover on Dupri, but Dupri counters with a roll-up. Ruca escapes and drops her with a side kick. Valkyria tries to get back into things, only to get dropped by Ruca as well. The distraction gives Dupri an opening, but she can’t capitalize.

Valkyria and Dupri begin going at it, with Valkyria getting the upper hand before Ruca rejoins the action. From there, the three begin pairing off in quick succession as the pace picks up toward the finish. Ruca hits a great spot, using a downed Valkyria as a stepping stone to launch into a kick that wipes out a charging Dupri! Ruca looks for an aerial attack on Dupri, but Valkyria attacks her from behind. Valkyria then looks to capitalize, only for Dupri to attack her from behind. Chaos reigns.

Valkyria eventually sends Ruca flying off the top turnbuckle to the outside before hitting Nightwing on Dupri! She covers and looks to have the match won, but a returning Bayley suddenly drags the referee out of the ring! Valkyria looks like she’s just seen a banshee. With Lyra completely distracted, Ruca returns from behind and catches her with the Sol Snatcher! Ruca makes the cover and gets the win at 9:21pm!

Your Winner and Advancing, Sol Ruca! (11 minutes)

After the Match: Will Bayley Hug Lyra Valkyria?

And survey says? One more for the good guys. Nope. Bayley gets into the ring and stands over a stunned Valkyria before dropping an elbow across her head and unloading with clubbing forearm blows to a nice pop from the Birmingham crowd. Bayley follows with a running knee to Valkyria’s head, sending her rolling to the outside. She follows and chokes Lyra against the apron while screaming at her off-mic. Bayley then hoists Valkyria across her shoulders and simply dumps her hard to the floor in a modified Death Valley Driver-style throw. She clears the announce table, drags Valkyria up on top of it and looks for a Piledriver, but Lyra squirms free and escapes through the crowd and to the back amid boos. Bayley remains at ringside, standing tall and looking considerably more dangerous than the woman we last saw. Bayley is back!

In the Parking Lot: 946

We see 946 in the parking lot, seemingly live, putting the entire Raw locker room on notice. Royce Keys, Bronco Nima & Lucien Price make it clear they’re here and ready for trouble.

Backstage: The Usos and Jacob Fatu

The Usos see the same footage we just did and, with a pipe and bat handy, talk about taking the fight directly to 946. Fatu warns them that they’re still not listening—this is exactly what Royce wants. It’s a trap! The Usos push back and again point out that they know exactly where 946 is. Fatu tells them that if they go out there, blood will be spilled, and once again cautions them to listen to him and trust him. This time, The Usos agree.

Vignette: JD McDonagh’s Paternity is Revealed

We get a video from Joe Hendry exploring the apparently very important history of JD McDonagh’s gigantic head. The short and somewhat ridiculous presentation explains that JD’s mother once fell in love with a Funko Pop. We’re even shown what appears to be an AI-generated Funko-Pop-headed gentleman as part of the evidence. Or maybe it’s a dude in an oversized head, it’s 2026 so who the hell knows anymore.

Singles Match: JD McDonagh w/ Dominik Mysterio vs. Joe Hendry

A very angry McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio make their way to the ring, apparently not appreciating Hendry’s investigation into JD’s family tree, and we head to break! When we return, Hendry is finishing up his entrance, complete with the dramatic turn-and-stare. The bell rings at 9:32pm and both Superstars lock up, battling into the corner. McDonagh takes the early advantage and stays angry, trying to punish Hendry with repeated elbow drops and strikes targeting the knee. JD remains in control for the next couple of minutes until Je’Von Evans makes his way out wearing a massive Funko Pop head to mock him! Dominik Mysterio heads up the ramp and attacks Evans, but the distraction gives Hendry the opening he needs. Hendry catches McDonagh with the Standing Ovation and picks up the quick win at 9:36pm!

Your Winner, Joe Hendry! (4 minutes)

After the Match: Something Funky

Hendry joins Evans at ringside and puts on the oversized Funko Pop head himself, then pumps up the crowd alongside Evans as McDonagh’s very bad night somehow gets even worse.

Backstage: Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan & Becky Lynch

Lynch is shown walking backstage when Morgan approaches and begins mocking her, asking if she’s finally taking Liv’s advice and going back home to play mommy. Morgan keeps twisting the knife, pointing out that nobody likes Lynch—or her “pathetic excuse of a husband,” Seth Rollins. Liv tells Lynch she hopes she has fun with that, because Morgan is about to go have some fun of her own by proving once again why she’s the greatest Women’s World Champion of all time.

Backstage: WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman and The Vision

We see the Wiseman standing stoically backstage when The Vision approaches. Dupri asks Heyman if he saw what “our boys did to Oba Femi tonight.” Heyman turns toward Reed, then pulls him into a hug. He tells Reed that on his first night back, he shook the entire WWE Universe—and on his second night, he took things even further. Heyman calls that important business and tells Reed he’s very, very proud of him. Breakker steps in and declares that Femi is finished and his brother is back. The future of WWE is secured, just like he always promised. Heyman pauses, then pointedly asks, “Is Oba Femi still breathing?” With that, Heyman walks off, leaving Breakker looking noticeably deflated.

Women’s World Championship Main Event Match: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Stephanie Vaquer

Vaquer is out first, followed by the champ. Alicia Taylor gives us our introductions with all the gravitas you’d expect for a Women’s World Championship main event, and we get our bell at 9:48pm. Vaquer is working as the face here, though I’m not entirely sure why this crowd refuses to support the greatest Women’s World Champion in the history of the multiverse. They tease a lockup before Morgan slips to the outside to a few boos, forcing Vaquer to give chase. We’re reminded that Morgan defeated Vaquer at WrestleMania to capture the title. Vaquer follows the champion outside and catches her with a punch before sending her back into the ring. The challenger follows and immediately unloads with a strike combination, then connects with a headscissors takedown before looking for an early schoolboy pin attempt. Aggressive start from Vaquer, who’s wasting no time putting the champion on the defensive. We head to break!
And we’re back from break at 9:53pm to find the champ using a working neck hold to wear down Vaquer. Joe Tessitore informs us that Morgan has been in control throughout the break. Vaquer manages to break the hold, but Morgan quickly shuts her down and settles into another lengthy stretch of control. Morgan hits the Three Amigos, then throws in an Eddie Guerrero-style shimmy to mock Vaquer. The challenger finally catches her with a desperate strike that drops the champ. The two battle from their knees back to a vertical base as Vaquer finally shows signs of life, unloading with rapid-fire headbutts to stun Morgan. From there, they trade momentum for a stretch before Vaquer connects with a DDT, followed by a snap Powerslam. Vaquer pulls Morgan up and plants her with a Guillotine Slam, covering for two. The two battle into the corner, where Vaquer sets Morgan up for a beautiful Dragon Screw! Morgan collapses to the mat clutching her knee and screaming—and she’s in perfect position for the Gooner T, also known as the Devil’s Kiss. Vaquer connects with all ten counts to a great pop from the Alabama crowd, then follows with a Meteora in the corner! She covers, but Morgan kicks out at two. And with the challenger finally building serious momentum, we’re kicked to another commercial break. Brought to you by DiGiorno! It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno! The action spills outside as Morgan attempts to flee. Vaquer pursues, slowly beating on the champ before rolling in and out of the ring to break the referee’s count. That gives Morgan just enough time to recover, and the champ begins working Vaquer over before slamming her into the announce table. Vaquer finally fires back, dropping Morgan to the floor beside the desk. She wraps her thighs around Morgan’s head, lifts her onto the commentary table and hits another Gooner T! The action heads back inside, where Vaquer looks for another cover after a diving strike, but once again the champ hangs on. Vaquer unloads with delayed boot strikes to Morgan in the corner, drawing a soft warning count from the referee. The crowd rips off a “This is awesome!” chant at arguably the slowest point of the match. Way to go, Alabama! Morgan finally shows signs of life by catching Vaquer with a Powerbomb and covers, but no joy.

Both Superstars take a moment to recover before slowly exchanging blows in the middle of the ring. Things begin to escalate, with Vaquer again using repeated headbutts. She rebounds off the ropes, but Morgan catches her with a Crucifix pin attempt for another two-count. Seeing Vaquer in the drop zone, Morgan heads up top and takes a moment to taunt the crowd. That gives Vaquer time to rise and attack her. Vaquer climbs the turnbuckles and hits a Superplex off the middle rope, hangs on, rolls through and chains it directly into an SVB! Vaquer covers, but only gets two! Morgan tries to mount another comeback, kicking Vaquer before heading up top for a mule kick. Vaquer avoids it and plants Morgan with Angel’s Wings! The champ is down! Vaquer heads up top, but Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez hit ringside. Perez distracts the referee from the apron while Rodriguez attacks Vaquer, knocking her down. The referee turns around in time to see Vaquer on the canvas and immediately suspects Judgment Day interference, ordering Rodriguez out. Becky Lynch then hits ringside and attacks Rodriguez when she refuses to leave. Lynch spots Perez grabbing the Women’s World Championship and trying to slip it into the ring, so she chases Perez away from ringside and toward the back. The referee becomes distracted by the chaos and doesn’t see Morgan retrieve the championship. Liv clocks Vaquer with the title, makes the cover and steals the win at 10:06pm!
Your Winner AND STILL Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan! (18 minutes)

In the Ring: The Bloodline

The Usos and Jacob Fatu are shown backstage, where Jimmy & Jey tell Fatu they’re going to show him how it’s done. With that, the trio heads toward the ring, sending us to a commercial break. We return to find The Usos & Jacob Fatu standing in the ring. The Usos point out that 946 has gotten the jump on them twice now—but that ends tonight. They’re in your city, and they the Bloodline, after all! We suddenly cut to the parking lot, where Royce Keys stands alongside Bronco Nima & Lucien Price. Keys gestures toward several men surrounding The Usos’ black luxury SUV, presumably security, and makes it clear that The Bloodline isn’t in control of anything. Keys then orders OTM to douse the vehicle in gasoline. “Y’all said I was crazy? Nah.” Keys tosses a lighter into the SUV, setting it ablaze. “Like I said, ain’t nobody safe.” 946 walks off as we cut back to the ring, where The Usos & Fatu watch their vehicle burn—and eventually explode multiple times—on the big screen. The Birmingham crowd erupts into an “OTC!” chant as the trio can only look on. We fade to black, and that’s a wrap, folks!
