WWE Raw from Norfolk to start World Heavyweight No. 1 contender tournament on August 10, 2026

Monday Night Raw will be broadcast live from the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia on August 10, 2026, and will begin a tournament to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. The opening-round card will feature a series of matches drawn from WWE and AAA talent.

The tournament includes luchadores from WWE and AAA and will produce a challenger who will face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship on the September 14 edition of Raw in Mexico City. The first match of the opening round tonight pits Penta against AAA star Laredo Kid, with the winner advancing into the semi-finals. Following their return last week, Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer are both scheduled to appear in Norfolk.

Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez are booked to face Sol Ruca and a partner of her choosing in tag team action on the show. That match is part of a broader Raw card that combines tournament bouts with storyline-driven singles and tag encounters. The promotion lists these matches among the planned segments for the August 10 broadcast.

Akira Tozawa is slated to go one-on-one with The Vision’s Austin Theory, with Tozawa seeking revenge after last week’s attack. That singles match follows the angle established on last week’s Raw. Both competitors are included on tonight’s lineup.

The August 10 edition of Monday Night Raw will air live from the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia and the promotion has provided telecast and timing details for international audiences. The next premium live event after SummerSlam 2026 is Money in the Bank, scheduled for October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
