Becky Lynch meets Stephanie Vaquer as WWE Raw visits Fresno on October 26, 2026
WWE Raw will stage a show at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California on Monday, October 26, 2026, headlined by a Women’s World Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match between Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer and featuring Raquel Rodriguez defending against IYO SKY among four announced matches.
The episode is presented as part of the road to Crown Jewel 2026 and includes a mix of singles and tag-team bouts: Becky Lynch vs Stephanie Vaquer, Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria in a No Disqualification Match, Chad Gable and Dragon Lee vs Big Cass and Ethan Page, and IYO SKY vs Raquel Rodriguez. The preview noted the show will air in India on Tuesday, October 26, and elsewhere the broadcast timing was listed as airing in India on Tuesday, October 27, due to the time difference.
The Lynch–Vaquer matchup grew out of their involvement in the Money in the Bank 2026 triple-threat against Liv Morgan, who won that contest to capture the championship; Vaquer suffered a leg injury that kept her out of action afterward. Lynch challenged Vaquer to a No. 1 Contender’s Match once Vaquer recovered, and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made the bout official after Vaquer confirmed she was ready to compete. The pair have not previously met in a singles match and the winner will be positioned to challenge for Morgan’s title.
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria were booked for a No Disqualification Match after Bayley interfered on the October 19 episode when Valkyria faced Lola Vice and prevented Valkyria from winning. Bayley confronted Valkyria following that match and then issued the challenge that was signed for the October 26 U.S. show. The No Disqualification stipulation permits use of weapons and removes the usual disqualification rules for the encounter.
Adam Pearce also added a tag match in which Chad Gable and Dragon Lee will team up against Big Cass and Ethan Page; the booking was announced as a late addition. The contest follows recent confrontations that included attacks by Cass and Page, and it carries implications for the Intercontinental Championship picture: Gable is identified as the reigning Intercontinental Champion and Page has been involved in the developing rivalry. The title has not been declared on the line, but the match outcome could affect the next phase of Gable and Page’s feud.
The only title contest listed for the night pits IYO SKY against Women’s Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez in a singles match that Adam Pearce has said could earn SKY a championship opportunity. Rodriguez is noted as the current holder of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship; the match is presented as a potential pathway for SKY to challenge for that title. The preview also highlighted SKY’s speed, agility and aerial offence against Rodriguez’s strength and power and stated that the former women’s champion will need to avoid prolonged exchanges and seek openings to use her athleticism.
Stephanie Vaquer’s in-ring return is a focal point after her absence following Money in the Bank 2026, with the preview stating a leg injury had kept her sidelined while she remained present in backstage segments on Raw. The write-up added that, aside from Vaquer’s return, no major returns were expected for the Fresno show and that World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns would not be in attendance.
The announced card for Monday’s Raw in Fresno remains Becky Lynch vs Stephanie Vaquer (Women’s World Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match), Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria (No Disqualification Match), Chad Gable and Dragon Lee vs Big Cass and Ethan Page (tag team match), and IYO SKY vs Raquel Rodriguez; the episode takes place at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California on Monday, October 26, and the preview listed India airings as Tuesday, October 26 and, due to the time difference, Tuesday, October 27.
