WWE delivered one of the better Saturday Night’s Main Event… events in about a year this past weekend. Bayley was seemingly injured by WWE’s latest star gone toxic, Lyra Valkyria, and Danhausen picked up a win over the Judgment Day’s JD McDonagh. The rest of the show’s big moments featured SmackDown talent, so we probably weren’t going to see any of that play into RAW.
Would WWE follow SNME with a strong Monday Night RAW? With only two weeks left until SummerSlam, they needed to keep the pressure up.
Thanks for the submission!
Let’s find out together.
Here are the results for Monday Night RAW (July 20, 2026):
- The Vision defeated Dragon Lee & Je’Von Evans via pinfall with the Super Spear.
- Oba Femi defeated JD McDonagh via pinfall with the Fall From Grace.
- Chad Gable & Penta defeated Rusev & Ethan Page via submission with the Ankle Lock.
- Joe Hendry defeated “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio via pinfall thanks to Danhausen’s DDD.
- Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight via pinfall with the BME/Mighty Moonsault.
After some highlights from WWE SNME, we kicked RAW off with some tag action. The WWE World Tag Team Champions, Bron Breakker & Austin Theory of The Vision, faced Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee!
Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee vs WWE Men’s World Tag Team Champions The Vision (Austin Theory & Bron Breakker) w/Logan Paul & Maxxine Dupri
Before The Vision got to the ring, they were taken out by two big dives from their opponents. Theory was the legal man starting out, and both Lee and Je’Von took turns teeing off on him. A blind tag from Breakker turned things around for The Vision, as Je’Von was unable to avoid the double flapjack outta nowhere.
When Lee tagged in, he managed to stun Breakker with a big tornado DDT. Unfortunately, Logan Paul and Theory distracted him, allowing Breakker to catch his breath and take him right out of the air with a powerslam. That took us to our first break.
We returned just as Breakker dropped Lee with a military press gutbuster. Lee avoided the spear and rocked Theory with an enziguri. The former NXT North American Champion finally got to Evans, who lit up Theory with a series of unorthodox strikes. Evans countered a lariat with a handspring stunner, and followed with a big dive over the ropes.
Breakker went for his full-speed spear, but Evans saw it coming! He launched Breakker into the timekeeper’s area, then ran around the ringside for a big dive onto the former WWE Intercontinental Champion! Back in the ring, a springboard clothesline nearly cost Austin Theory the match. Lee’s diving stomp connected as well, but Maxxine held his foot while the ref was distracted by Logan Paul, allowing Bron to take his head off with a big lariat.
Theory dropped Lee with the ushigoroshi neckbreaker. Evans tried to intervene, only to be cut in half by Bron’s spear. Theory held Lee while Breakker ran the ropes, setting up a Super Spear!
Results: The Vision defeated Dragon Lee & Je’Von Evans via pinfall with the Spear.
Grade: B-. Great way to start the show. Je’Von and Lee got their stuff in that got the crowd popping. Theory, Maxxine, and Paul angered the fans. Breakker looked like a runaway freight train.
The Vision kept the attack up after the match. Thankfully, the Alpha Academy rushed the ring to make the save. Otis and Akira Tozawa actually looked ready to put Theory through the announcer’s desk.
Instead, Breakker caught him with the running spear. Back in the ring, a big right laid out Tozawa, and Theory held Otis in place for the Super Spear. All the while, Maxine Dupri sat on the ring post, laughing at her former friends.
Backstage, the Judgment Day held up Danhausen. JD McDonagh had him against the wall while he, AAA Mega Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan demanded he bring their money back or suffer a broken jaw.
We got another Big Cass vignette, confirming he is indeed the one arriving on the August 3 episode of Monday Night RAW. It showed news stories about Cass, from his injuries to his struggles with addiction. Cass, still silhouetted, said that it’s impossible to know how low you’ll get until you get there.
Danhausen, instead of returning the “human monies” to the Judgment Day, went to the ring with the bag of cash. He said it was too much trouble for what it was worth (about $100,000), but didn’t wanna give it to the Judgment Day. Instead, he’d give it to the Fanhausens!
JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, and “Dirty” Dom stormed the ring and demanded the ring. Danhausen cursed them, leading to a two-on-one beatdown. Joe Hendry made the save, dumping JD and Dom on their heads with his fallaway slams while Liv escaped with the bag of “human monies.”
The Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins hype packages continued, as we saw clips from Rollins’ WrestleMania cash-in, AKA the Heist of the Century.
Backstage, the Judgment Day learned the money was fake. JD threw the bag behind him, blindly, while threatening Danhausen. It hit Oba Femi, who confronted JD. Adam Pearce made that match official, and when Dom protested, gave him a match with Joe Hendry later on in the night.
Oba Femi vs JD McDonagh
Oba Femi knocked both JD and Dom on their backs with a pair of clotheslines, then dumped Dom to the floor. JD hit a cheap kick on Oba, but it didn’t faze him. After a series of big running corner splashes, the Shot Put Bomb launched JD across the ring.
Fall From Grace!! 1-2-3!
Oba Femi defeated JD McDonagh via pinfall with the Fall From Grace.
Grade: D+ if you’re looking for a real back-and-forth contest. If you’re here to see Oba Femi demolish someone in under a minute like I was, this gets an A. How could anyone not love Oba tearing through whoever steps to him? The crowd certainly loved it.
WWE SmackDown Superstar Solo Sikoa interrupted the festivities, grabbing a mic and rolling into the ring. The former WWE United States Champion called out The Visionary, Seth Rollins. Back at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Rollins and Tyrese Halliburton tried to rain on the parade of WWE Men’s World Champion Roman Reigns and NBA MVP Jalen Brunson. It didn’t work out in their favor, but maybe Solo had a plan for SummerSlam.
Rollins asked what he could do for Sikoa. “Are we talkin’… or are we fightin’?” The fans wanted a fight and booed when they didn’t get it. Solo said the Bloodline would guarantee he didn’t leave SummerSlam with the WWE World Title, something Seth and anyone who’s been watching for the past six years already knew. He offered to help Seth, claiming he could watch the Revolutionary’s back at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
Rollins wanted to mull it over. He seemed like he’d give Solo the yes… if Solo wanted to wait. Instead, he pulled Seth back into the ring, claiming he could be to Seth what Seth was for Cody a few years back at WrestleMania.
Before Seth could accept, Jacob Fatu stormed the ring. Solo tucked tail and ran while Seth dropped the Samoan Werewolf with a superkick.
Ethan Page & Rusev vs Chad Gable & WWE Men’s Intercontinental Champion Penta
Rusev and Ethan Page rushed Chad Gable before the bell rang, then teamed up on the WWE Men’s Intercontinental Champion. Penta escaped a double clothesline by the Bulgarian Brute and All Ego, setting up a diving crossbody from Gable. Rusev dumped Penta on the apron with a back body drop, though, and sent him into the steps before the next commercial break.
Penta took a lot of punishment during the break, but turned things around as we came back with a big diving crossbody to Rusev. Gable and Page tagged in, and Gable fired up. A rolling ax kick rocked Rusev, while Page was dumped with a pair of German suplexes. Rusev was sent to the floor with a release overhead belly-to-belly before Gable turned his attention back to All Ego.
Page kicked out of an Angle Slam and avoided the moonsault. Rusev tagged Page as he escaped another Angle Slam, spiking Gable with a spin-out sidewalk slam. Penta broke it up and took Page to the floor for a tope con hilo. That left Gable and Rusev in the ring. Gable fought his way out of an Accolade, then countered a second one with the ankle lock.
Penta launched himself off of Gable’s back to spike Ego with the Mexican Destroyer! Gable grapevined, and Rusev had no way to escape.
Chad Gable & Penta defeated Rusev & Ethan Page via submission with the Ankle Lock.
Grade: C. We see some version of this Intercontinental scene tag match almost every RAW. And it was as good as most of those, but we’re way past time for something different. Hopefully, after SummerSlam, that’s the case.
Seth Rollins ran into Jacob Fatu backstage, laughing in the Samoan Werewolf’s face. He knew that Fatu wouldn’t be seeking revenge, because he was under strict orders from the WWE Men’s World Heavyweight Champion, his Tribal Chief. Rollins wondered if he’d get Fatu along with the gold after SummerSlam. Fatu told him that, once that show was over, he’d beat Rollins’ *ss.
We got a Paul Heyman pre-tape as the Beast Incarnate’s Advocate was told not to use certain words, like “violence,” to describe Hell in a Cell. He proceeded to use that word. Heyman claimed Oba was overrated. At WWE SummerSlam, Oba had the chance to do something nobody else had ever done: beat Lesnar inside HIAC. Oba’s had the best rookie year in WWE since Lesnar, but that would come to an end at SummerSlam.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, Oba Femi’s rookie year falls apart in a violent way, courtesy of Brock Lesnar.
WWE gave us another Reigns/Rollins package, this time showing the final run of the Shield. It was another week where AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley showed up on a WWE program.
AAA Mega Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio w/WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan vs Joe Hendry
Dirty Dom was overpowered by the former WWE NXT and TNA World Champion. After bouncing Dominik around the ring, Hendry picked him up for a long stalling suplex, walking around for added effect. Mysterio sent him to the floor for a suicide dive, but Hendry caught him and planted him on the announcer’s desk with a big slam.
The ref checked on Dom after he was tossed into the ring, giving Liv Morgan the chance to send Hendry into the post. Danhausen strolled down to pay Hendry back and cause a little havoc. He went to curse Liv, but only got two words out before Liv cracked him across the jaw. Danhausen bailed to the back as we cut to break.
Hendry launched Dom across the ring with the fallaway slam, and followed with his big lariat, The Hit Single. Dom kicked out, and Liv distracted Joe to set up Dom’s tornado DDT. Danhausen was back with the Danhausenmobile… and IYO SKY!!!
IYO SKY brawled with Liv, stunning the champ with the shotei and sending her into the apron. Liv was sent flying thanks to a springboard dropkick, and SKY followed with the crossbody off the apron. While the ref was distracted, Danhausen drove Dirty Dom’s dirty skull into the mat with the Danhausen Death Drop!
Joe Hendry defeated Dirty Dominik Mysterio via pinfall thanks to the Danhausen Death Drop.
Grade: C+. Solid, but about half of this took place during the break.
Before the main event, we got an update for SummerSlam. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio will face Danhausen in a non-title match, a little over a week from his AAA Mega Championship defense against El Grande Americano at Triplemania 34.
LA Knight came out for his match with the Samoan Werewolf, but cut a promo beforehand. Knight mentioned Solo Sikoa’s meeting with Seth Rollins earlier in the night. Solo was a bit tough to trust, and wanting to help Seth didn’t ease Knight’s suspicions. In fact, Solo offering his services to Rollins made him sick. We got an OTC chant, and Knight said he didn’t blame them for that, because they were conned.
Roman begged to be like year after year after year, until he figured out how to be a real star. LA Knight was a true shining star from the moment he set foot in WWE. He’s everything the WWE brass wanted Reigns to be, but he couldn’t.
Knight was waiting for Fatu to come down to the ring with his “Mortal Kombat music,” promising to slap him back to factory settings.
LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu
The two former WWE United States Champions had been before, as Fatu won that title FROM Knight at WrestleMania a few years back. Back then, Knight was overwhelmed by Fatu’s strength and resiliency, and tonight wasn’t any different. Fatu bounced Knight around the ring and ringside, even hitting Knight with a suicide dive.
Knight finally turned things around when he sent Fatu’s left knee into the steel steps. At least, he created a target. Fatu recovered fast, catching a diving Knight and dropping him on the apron with a Samoan Drop. Fatu played to the crowd too much, and WWE’s Megastar recovered for a wrecking ball dropkick to his longtime rival.
Fatu’s skull was bounced off the table and steps repeatedly, and Knight followed with a big diving clothesline as we hit the final break of the night.
When we returned, Fatu was on top again. The OTC’s top gun bounced Knight off the top post and set up for a big dive. Knight jumped to the top for his sky-high superplex, bringing Fatu crashing down in the center of the mat and screaming out in pain. Jimmy Uso joined the action here, looking to hype up his cousin.
Big Jim didn’t see his younger brother, Solo Sikoa, sneak up behind him. Solo battered Jimmy, who was saved from a Samoan Spike by Fatu’s suicide dive. Back in the ring, Knight drove Fatu into the mat with a BFT. Would it have given Knight the W? We’d never know, as Big Jim distracted the ref.
Royce Keys was out next, and sent Jimmy over the announce desk before Jey Uso’s music ran out. Main Event Jey laid out Keys with a trio of superkicks. He ate a wrecking ball dropkick from Knight, but the Megastar was flattened with Fatu’s pop-up Samoan Drop for his troubles. Best Moonsault Ever!!
Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight via pinfall with the BME.
Grade: B. As far as WWE main events go, it was solid. Again, a match we’ve seen between these two before, only this time there was no WWE gold on the line.
Fatu’s music barely played before Solo attacked, leading to a six-man shmoz. Royce drove Fatu into the mat with a spinebuster, but the Usos took him down with a pair of superkicks and the 1-D. Fatu took Knight into the corner with the Tongan Death Grip, and the Bloodline rocked him with a series of running hip attacks.
The Uso Splash finished the job on Knight. The Bloodline stood tall as Solo, Royce, and Knight were left lying.
Overall Grade: C. We kept waiting for something big to happen on this episode, but big never came. There was also a serious lack of women’s wrestling and promos, which, with two championship divisions, should not happen. With only one WWE RAW left before SummerSlam, they’ll need to get a lot done next week.
