Carmelo Hayes Aligns with The 946 as WWE Raw Delivers Money in the Bank Fallout in Bossier City
On October 12 at the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City, Louisiana, WWE Monday Night RAW served as Money in the Bank 2026 fallout, with newly crowned Mr. Money in the Bank Penta opening the show and Carmelo Hayes joining The 946 after interfering in the main event. The program also featured Liv Morgan addressing her return to the top of the women’s division and official match announcements for Crown Jewel in Riyadh.
RAW emanated from Bossier City the night after Money in the Bank and set up matches for the next premium live event, including champion-versus-champion bouts. Promotional posters for Crown Jewel confirmed Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn and Liv Morgan vs Chelsea Green, and the event was listed for Riyadh on November 7. The episode mixed in-ring action with backstage segments and multiple run-ins that continued feuds stemming from Money in the Bank.
Penta, introduced as the men’s Money in the Bank winner, opened RAW by thanking fans and opponents and said he would become a world champion whenever he decided to cash in his contract; the segment included the line "YOU DESERVE IT." Je’Von Evans interrupted the celebration while wearing a sling and rib bandages after his fall at Money in the Bank, and Bron Breakker then stormed the ring and delivered a Spear to Evans.
Rey Mysterio faced Big Cass in the first televised match, with Cass using his size to control portions of the bout and Mysterio relying on speed and experience to create openings. Dragon Lee distracted Cass late in the match, allowing Mysterio to hit the 619 and finish with a Springboard Victory Roll for the win. The show noted the finish looked unconvincing and suggested Big Cass has been losing to smaller opponents more often recently.
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan celebrated regaining her title and declared a desire to become a two-time Crown Jewel winner before WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green interrupted. Roxanne Perez challenged Green and Adam Pearce made the match official; Perez pinned Green after Morgan distracted the champion, and Morgan then struck Green with Oblivion while members of Judgment Day stood tall at ringside.
Oba Femi reflected on his Money in the Bank victory over Bronson Reed and said everyone would have to acknowledge his dominance, while Paul Heyman praised Femi as the future of WWE and compared him with his former clients Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Femi insisted on his individual identity in a succinct line: "I am an Oba Femi guy."
Chad Gable defended the Intercontinental Championship against Rey Fenix in a match highlighted by Fenix’s aerial offense and near-falls, including a Double Springboard Moonsault and a Frog Splash. Gable prevailed by trapping Fenix in a Grapevine Ankle Lock, forcing him to submit; the broadcast also reported that Dragon Lee suffered an injury during the sequence and that the crowd showed respect for both competitors.
The main event pitted Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa against Royce Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price of The 946; The 946 dominated much of the match and Jaida Parker interfered, taking down officials. A masked attacker then entered and the bout ended in disqualification after the assailant was unmasked as Carmelo Hayes, who struck Solo Sikoa and the Usos with a crowbar and was revealed as the newest member of The 946.
Promotional material and on-air announcements confirmed Crown Jewel in Riyadh on November 7, with champion-versus-champion matches Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn and Liv Morgan vs Chelsea Green listed for the card, giving RAW’s developments direct implications for the upcoming pay-per-view.
