Roman Reigns to Return on Oct. 5; Becky Lynch vs Liv Morgan Set as No.1 Contender Match

The September 28 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee ended with a heated face‑to‑face brawl between the Bloodline and the 946, during which Jaida Parker ran over Jacob Fatu and then aligned herself with the 946. WWE used the show to set up multiple matches and returns for the October 5 Raw in St. Louis, the go‑home broadcast for Money in the Bank.

The episode also produced several in‑ring developments: Oba Femi vs Bronson Reed was announced for Money in the Bank, Lola Vice recorded her first main‑roster singles victory over Roxanne Perez, and Bayley interfered to cost Lyra Valkyria her match against Iyo Sky. Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh but were attacked by Bron Breakker after the bout.

WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer acknowledged that both Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan are pursuing her title and then booked Lynch vs Morgan next week on Raw as a number‑one contender match, with the winner scheduled to face Vaquer for the World title at Money in the Bank in New Orleans. The company’s announcement tied the contender match directly to the title opportunity at the pay‑per‑view.

World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns is listed to return to Raw on October 5 ahead of his title defense against LA Knight at Money in the Bank. WWE’s promotional lineup for the October 5 show also lists Oba Femi, Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio and Sol Ruca among the featured superstars.

Following Lola Vice’s win over Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez attacked Vice and Sol Ruca came to Vice’s aid but was overwhelmed; WWE announced that Vice and Ruca will team to face members of Judgment Day next week in a tag match specifically scheduled as Sol Ruca & Lola Vice vs Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez.

A backstage confrontation between Rey Fenix and Ethan Page resulted in a match booking for next week’s Raw; the segment referenced Fenix’s desire to defend the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship on Raw, although WWE’s official graphic for the clash does not list the title as being on the line.

The October 5 edition of Monday Night Raw will be broadcast live from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri and will serve as the go‑home show for Money in the Bank, which is set for October 10, 2026 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
