WWE Monday Night Raw 10/12/2026
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/wwe-monday-night-raw-1052026.html
We are in Bossier City, LA. Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett are on commentary.
We are told multiple wrestlers can't wrestle tonight due to MITB injuries.
We see various wrestlers arrive.
Penta comes out. His MITB briefcase says "Dinero en el Banco" on it. Penta thanks everyone. He says he fought for every opportunity for 20 years and he earned everything. He then talks in Spanish for a while. He says now he has the power in his hands. He says he will become champ when he cashes in.
Je'Von Evans comes out limping with his arm in a sling. He shows off his taped up ribs. He says no matter how banged up he is, he wasn't missing Raw. He says if anyone deserves the briefcase, it's Penta. He says he's proud of him. Bron Breakker then comes in and spears Evans. Bron walks out, officials check on Evans and we go to break.
Rey Mysterio vs Big Cass
Sadly, I wouldn't even say Cass is the favorite here at this point.
Rey runs into a knee to the body. Rey hits leg kicks and slaps him. Cass chases him. Rey hides behind the steps but moves when Cass kicks the steps. Cass looks for him under the ring. Rey pops up on the apron and headscissors him into the rails. Rey dropkicks him in the leg and sends him out. Rey slides out and is sent into the rails. Cass gorilla presses Rey outside and throws him in. We go to break and return.
Rey hits leg kicks and Cass lariats him down for 2. Rey is sent hard into the buckles, it makes a big noise and he goes down. Rey boots him from the buckles. Rey top rope la silla's him and running la silla's him.
Cass boots him. Cass lifts him and takes punches until he goes down. Cass is sent out and Rey 619's the back of his head. Rey's tope is caught and Rey spinning ddt's him on the floor off of it. Rey 619's Cass in the leg and dropkicks him from behind. Rey runs into a back elbow.
Cass hits back elbows and bangs Rey's head off the buckles. The ref backs Cass up and threatens him with a DQ. Dragon Lee gets on the apron. Lee pumping knees Cass in the face. Rey 619's Cass. Rey victory rolls him and pins him.
Thoughts: There was a decent bit of downtime here. Cass punished him in some different ways than usual but he sadly lost as I expected. It was average as it could have sped up a bit at times.
946 do a video in the dark with sunglasses on. I couldn't hear most of what they said but Jaida says ain't nobody safe.
Adam Pearce talks to a ref and says he needs him to be the ref in the main event tonight. He says he needs a senior official in there. He says he doesn't need him to enforce rules but keep it in order, get a pin or submission and get out in one piece.
Judgment Day come out. Liv says we are in the presence of the greatest women's world champ of all-time. Liv says the title is where it belongs in Judgment Day.
Chelsea Green interrupts. Green says she wanted to stand champ to champ with the girl she is facing at Crown Jewel. She says she's excited for the match and may the best woman win. She offers a handshake. Liv laughs and says she won't shake her hand. She says that's for equals and they aren't equal.
She says Green isn't a fighting champ or a real champ, but she's looking at one. She says Tiff won MITB but injured herself. She says she doesn't have much to worry about from a placeholder champ. Green says she's okay with her underestimating her as she has been underestimated her whole career. She says while Liv parties, she will work hard so Liv's back is on the mat at Crown Jewel. She says she will make Liv respect her and says Liv is Dom's placeholder girlfriend.
Roxanne Perez tells Green to stop embarrassing herself. She says Green can't beat Raquel, herself or Liv. Green asks if she wants her to try tonight. They go up to each other. A ref comes out and says it's official
Chelsea Green vs Roxanne Perez
This started during the break. They do a headlock outside and get in. Green yanks on the arm and RP does the same. Green tries to roll out of a wristlock but RP rolls with her. Green trips her and la magistral's her for 2.
Green shoulders her over. Green side headlocks her and takes her over. RP cartwheels over her and slaps her. Green trips her then slaps her. Green hits another slap inside then meteora's her from behind on the ropes. Green low sliding flatliners her for 1.

Green grabs Liv by the hair and RP hits Green from behind. RP double jump asai moonsaults but Green gets her knees up. RP is sent into Raquel on the apron then she topes both.
Liv runs at Green and throws her over the commentary table. RP hits pop rocks on Green and pins her.
Thoughts: I didn't like the result here at all. Green's the champ and she's going into a champ vs champ match yet she lost here. And to Perez, who doesn't win bigger matches usually. The end was also filled here with shenanigans and that brought this down. I didn't like this.
Liv talks trash to Green and Green slaps Liv. Perez and Raquel then beat up on Green. Liv hits oblivion on Green.
The Uso's and Solo Sikoa talk in the back. Jey says he and Jimmy are the captains and he needs to run the play. Solo says they aren't his captains and Roman isn't his tribal chief. Solo says they need to follow his lead tonight. Jimmy says they need to stick together tonight.
Thoughts: They really do need explain what Solo is doing. He doesn't want to be with The Uso's or Roman, yet isn't doing anything about it.
Oba Femi comes out. He says he's in a good mood tonight. He asks if we saw MITB and what he did to Bronson Reed. He says he was told there would be tsunami after tsunami but he just sees calm rivers and blue skies in Louisiana. He says there's no tsunami's in Louisiana or any here tonight. He says Reed didn't understand hype and learned his lesson. He says all that matters is that everyone will bend the knee. He says now that The Vision understands that, he can leave them in the rearview mirror.
Paul Heyman comes out. He says he warned Reed he would have to hit Oba with tsunami after tsunami. He says he got one and says no one but Oba has kicked out his tsunami. Paul says Oba is the future of WWE. He says Oba was even better on Saturday than Oba was at Summerslam and Mania vs Brock.
Paul says there's no stopping Oba. He says he's "the guy" to lead us to a vision of the future. Oba interrupts and throws Paul's mic. Oba says he's not Brock or Roman and says those are Paul Heyman guys. He says he's an Oba Femi guy. Oba then leaves.
Thoughts: Paul continues to scout Oba. I'm interested to see where it goes.
Adam Pearce talks to Iyo Sky in the back. Iyo says she is looking for her next challenger. Lyra Valkyria comes in and asks what Adam will do about Bayley. She says she doesn't feel safe and needs security. She then points at Bayley and asks if Adam will do nothing about it. Adam says she works here. Lyra gets mad and leaves.
Roxanne Perez and Raquel Perez come in. She says she deserves a shot at the WWE Women's Title. Adam tells her to take it up with Aldis on Smackdown. Raquel says she forgot Iyo existed and remembers when she meant something. Iyo asks if she's serious. Iyo then says she thinks she found her next challenger and smiles at Adam.
LA Knight is interviewed. He says he didn't get what he was looking for at MITB and doesn't want his flowers. Solo Sikoa says he's gotta get his flowers and he had a hell of a match with Roman. LA asks if he's with Bloodline. Solo says he's not with them, but LA doesn't buy it. Solo asks if they are good and he says they are.

Jey then gets hit with the crowbar. Jimmy takes a double team samoan drop. 946 tells Jimmy ain't nobody safe. Keys then sits in a chair as 946 poses over Bloodline.
Thoughts: It was a good brawl. There was no finish, but this didn't really need one. They did some big spots with dives off entrances in the crowd, table spots and we had a big swerve with Melo joining 946 (he had blacked out his twitter profile this week which got people thinking he was upset backstage). 946 came across as big and bad and I'm interested to see where it goes from here.
Overall thoughts: Rey/Cass was average. I didn't like Green/Perez. Gable/Fenix was alright and they definitely tried to shoot for a classic. The main was a big brawl with them doing some big spots. It also had a big swerve near the end. The show was fine overall, and I'd give it a 6 out of 10. But Roman, Seth and others not being in action on these shows does hurt things.
