WWE Monday Night Raw 7/13/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/wwe-monday-night-raw-762026.html

We are in Dallas, TX. Corey Graves and Michael Cole are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive. 

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman come out. Police come out with them (and I think ROW's Max Castellanos and Terrale Tempo are two of them). Paul does the intro for Brock and says the police are there for Oba Femi. He says Oba turned down a title match chance because he's obsessed with Brock Lesnar. He says Oba is the biggest dummy he has met in his entire life. He compares Oba to a psycho ex.

Paul says everyone wants to talk sh!t but then they get hit. He says Brock is also obsessed with Ova and it scares him to death. Paul says he wants to protect Brock and says he went to a judge to got a restraining order on Oba Femi. He says he knows Brock will obey the order as he is a law-abiding citizen. 

Oba Femi comes out. The police jump in the ring and Oba gets in the ring. Oba says he came here for a fight and will let Paul explain what this is. Paul says Oba is in violation of a restraining order and tells the police to do their job. Oba throws one of the cops over the top, chokeslams the other two and lariats another. Oba then throws one of them onto the others. 

Oba says this isn't Brock anymore and asks where's The Beast. He says he used to run this place and now he just runs away. Oba says if he would have went for the title, Brock would have cost him it. Oba says there's no more games, BS or running at Summerslam. He says Brock can't run from Oba Femi at Summerslam.

They show us a video on Roman vs Seth.

Iyo Sky vs Roxanne Perez

RP pulls her hair in the corner. Iyo takes her down and hits mounted shots. Iyo double knee drops her. RP slaps her and Iyo pulls her hair. Iyo sweeps her and they trade pin attempts. RP spin kicks her in the gut. Iyo dropkicks her. 

Iyo goes for a tope and RP punches her to stop it. Iyo slams her on the apron. Iyo asai moonsaults outside. Liv grabs Iyo's foot and RP sweeps Iyo. RP stomps Iyo's foot over the bottom rope. We go to break and return.

They fight on the buckles. Iyo is in tree of woe and RP knows her knee. RP running euros her in the corner as she hangs. Iyo gets her knees up on RP's asai moonsault. Iyo flapjacks her and rolls her into a double stomp. Iyo double underhook backbreakers her for 2.

Thoughts: It was the usual RP match where she works the leg and does her moonsault. Iyo survived it and won. It was fine for what it was and went well as expected.

Iyo goes after Liv after. RP and Raquel beat up Iyo. Sol Ruca comes out and takes out RP and Raquel. Raquel swings Sol into the rails and rams her backwards into the post. Liv hits oblivion on Iyo then bangs her face off the mat. Liv then hits Iyo with the Women's Title.

We see clips for the Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys situation from Smackdown.

The Vision come out without Paul and with Maxxine Dupri. Logan says to give it up for Austin and Bron, the new tag champs. He syas they couldn't have done it without The Vision Queen, Maxxine. 

Alpha Academy of Otiz and Tozawa come out. The Vision laughs at them. Akira asks if they can talk to Max. Max asks The Vision to leave the ring. Akira asks Max what she is doing. He says Max is a wonderful human being and says Austin is all wrong for him. Max say she loves them but they gave her a choice. 

The crowd boos Max. Max says they told her that if she was with Austin, she couldn't be with them. Max says that's not fair and they don't even know him. Otis says he told her Austin is bad news. Otis says he has something to say to her. Austin laughs. 

Austin asks if Otis is confessing his feelings for Max. Austin asks if this is a fairy tale and tells Otis to look at himself. Austin says people like Otis don't end up with people like Max. Austin says Max is with him, insults him and Otis throws Austin in. Otis chokes Austin and Bron grabs Otis. Akira helps out, sends Bron out and Bron blocks his tope. Bron exploders Akira over the commentary table. Bron and Austin stomp Otis. Otis gets the edge on the heels. Bron is sent into Austin and Otis corner splashes both. Otis lariats Bron over the top.

Otis goes after Austin and Austin begs off. Max gets between them. Max says they can fix this. Max goes to kiss Otis and Austin low blows Otis. Max then piefaces Otis down. Akira and Austin fight and Bron spears Akira. Max gives Austin knucks. Austin punches Otis with them. Otis is then held for a hard Bron spear.

Thoughts: This segment didn't make Bron look good here. Bron shouldn't be taking offense from low carders and going down off of it. A real main eventer wouldn't do that. Max predictably turned on Otis and Tozawa here.

We get a Survivor Series: Wargames video.

The men in the gauntlet match make their pitch tonight for why they will win. 

Royce Keys vs Jimmy Uso

They said this was an impromptu match and it started during the break. Uso is laid on the top and Keys clubs him. We see this started from them fighting in the aisle and Adam Pearce making a match off of it. Keys does Sheamus' chest clubs on Uso.

Keys is stunnered over the top rope. Uso enzugiri's him. Uso top rope crossbodies him for 1. They chop each other and Keys lariats him. Uso goes up and over and spinning enzugiri's Keys out.

They chop each other and Keys powerslams him off a flying crossbody. Keys corner splashes him then hits punches. We see Jacob Fatu arrive and come out. Uso superkicks Keys and Keys sky high's him for 2. Fatu attacks Keys for the DQ.

Thoughts: It was a random one. What we got wasn't bad, but we didn't see the beginning of this nor did we get a finish and that was pretty lame. Keys isn't even on Raw and still couldn't beat Jimmy Uso clean, who isn't exactly a top guy.

Fatu stomps on Keys. Fatu says he doesn't want to do this to him and hits him in the body with a chair. Solo Sikoa comes out and gets on the mic. He tells Fatu to stop and says to leave Keys alone. Solo says he understands now. Solo says he was lost and was being stupid. Solo says he always knows that blood is thicker than water. Solo says he's coming home to the family. 

Solo puts up the one finger sign and Uso/Fatu pose with him. Solo laughs and samoan spikes Uso. Solo then hits punches on Fatu. Fatu drops Solo with a shot here. Keys saves Solo and hits shots on Fatu. Uso superkicks Keys. Fatu tongan death grip's Solo. 

LA Knight comes out with a chair. LA back body drops Uso out and chairs Fatu. Fatu no sells the chair shot. LA hits him in the gut and back with it. Fatu then goes out. LA says he owes Fatu and Uso from last week and tells them to come and get it. He says that's not all he needs to get out of them. LA says he needs Jimmy Uso and Fatu in the ring. He says he's sick of The Bloodline and says he needs Jey too. LA says he's done with Bloodline and says he doesn't have to do it by himself. LA says they should do a trios match with Solo/LA/Keys vs The Uso's and Fatu at Summerslam. 

Thoughts: I think Solo turned face here but nobody reacted.

The Vision walk in the back and laugh. Paul Heyman claps for them. He says that's what he calls a vision for the future. Paul says he's more than proud. Austin asks if they are all back together now? Paul says Max was so magnificent tonight that what the hell do they need him for?

Adam Pearce talks on the phone. Oba Femi comes in. Adam says Heyman was bluffing and the police officers were mind games. Oba says it means they are afraid. Oba says if they thought what he did to Brock at Mania was bad, wait until they see what he does at HIAC.

Bayley is in the ring and she asks Lyra Valkyria to come out. Lyra comes out with her new haggard look and ripped clothes. Bayley puts the mic in Lyra's chest. Bay says she thought they could be honest with each other and apologize. Lyra says she should apologize to her for holding her back. Lyra says Bay always makes it look like she's the victim and says Bay makes it her entire personality. 

Lyra says Bay isn't a locker room leader but a doormat. She says she drags down everyone she works with and has always been the worst of The Four Horsewomen. Bays she should have known this was a mistake. She says Lyra not as special as she thinks she is. Bay talks about her accomplishments and says she will add beating her at MSG to it. She says she will see her at SNME. Lyra grabs Bay and Bay forearms her. Bay hits mounted shots. Lyra lariats her then reverse curbstomps her. Lyra belly to belly suplexes her.

We get a Big Bill/Big Cass return video for 8/3.

Thoughts: It was all high flying here with little selling. At least it was exciting.

Leg 4 - Je'Von Evans vs Rusev

Rusev nails Evans from behind and pushes him into Lee. Evans is thrown shoulder first into the post and Rusev fallaway slams Evans. We go to break and return.

Thoughts: It was alright with Evans flying and Rusev using his power against him. I was fine with this.

Chad runs down and hits punches. Chad germans Rusev twice. Chad overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Chad is caught with a uranage as he comes off the top for 2. We go to break and return.

Chad olympic slams him for 2. Page is pulled down from the 2nd rope into an ankle lock. Page taps out and Chad wins.

Thoughts: This was yet again another quick one here. It was kind of a waste but it doesn't really matter.

Overall thoughts: It probably got around 30 minutes or so. It was a longer gauntlet. It had the usual gauntlet issues with some of the legs not getting enough time. Evans/Lee was the most exciting leg, but not necessarily the best. It was average.

Penta comes out. Him and Chad go face to face and shake hands.

Roman Reigns arrives in a car and has his title handed to him. 

Adam Pearce is in the ring and says we make Seth vs Roman official tonight. Roman and Seth both come out and Roman takes forever like usual. Seth says it must be hard for Roman to hear Seth's song drown out OTC chants. Seth says some things are certain - death, taxes and Seth beating Roman. 

Roman says Seth put everyone to sleep last week. He says Seth is the tribal chief's #1 hater. The crowd chants "he's a hater". Roman says that's the only thing Seth is #1 at and that's what he hates the most. Roman says Seth has the people confused thinking that they are on the same level. Roman says he will show the difference between them. Roman says he will show him what #1 looks like.

Seth thanks him for keeping his title warm and says he will see him the next time he wants to show up for work. Seth goes to leave. Roman says, "that's it?". Roman says what if Seth does win? He asks if Seth will carry it for a few months and get hurt again? Roman says that's what happens every single time. 

Roman says some people just can't handle the weight and pressure of being the top guy. Seth comes back in and stares him down.

Seth tells him to say what he has to say. Roman says he knows Seth is #2 as after all these years, Seth still needs an MITB briefcase to become champ. He says Seth then had to fake an injury to use it. Roman says they gave Seth all his stuff and "you still couldn't walk in my shoes, #2". Roman says he will always be #1 and says Seth will always be #2. 

Seth asks if that's all he's got. He tells him to say how he won't be as a big of a star or main event as many Mania's as him. Seth says anything Roman tells him, he has told himself. Seth says they aren't running the same race or fighting the same fight. Seth says he had to figure out who he was and he's a visionary and a revolutionary. He says he's Seth Rollins and he's so glad he's not him. 

Seth then beats up Roman. Seth asks where Bloodline is now. Seth says he knows where he is now. Roman superman punches Seth. Roman gets hit with a mic and Seth pedigrees him. Seth curbstomps him. 

Thoughts: It was the usual bad Roman segment. Roman said a bunch of things that were 100% true and made it clear through facts that Seth is indeed not better than him. As always, Seth had no real comeback and was made to look inferior. I would even argue that Seth came off as the heel here as he threw the first punch and had to be the smaller man who resorted to violence. This stuff is why I dislike the Roman Reigns character. 

Overall thoughts: Iyo/Perez was fine. Maxxine Dupri turned on Otis and Tozawa, which wasn't shocking. We didn't see the beginning of Keys/Uso and we didn't get a clean end to it. I think Solo Sikoa turned face, but nobody cared. The gauntlet was the usual gauntlet with a lot of the bouts not going long enough and Joe Hendry establishing himself as being a lower guy in the pecking order. I didn't like the final segment and it went as it always does - Roman destroys Seth with objectively true facts and Seth is somehow a face for hitting him for it. I'd give this maybe a higher 5 out of 10 as it was acceptable, but not much else. There was too much stuff with the Fatu's as usual and the wrestling didn't impress.
