WWE Raw in Ottawa (Aug 24, 2026): Oba Femi and Bron Breakker to sign SNME contract; Stephanie Vaquer returns

WWE will present Monday Night Raw from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario on August 24, 2026, where Oba Femi and Bron Breakker are scheduled to take part in a contract signing for the upcoming Sunday Night’s Main Event. The show will air two hours earlier than usual at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT.

WWE has altered its weekly schedule to pre-tape episodes this week to provide talent additional downtime after a hectic summer and ahead of international commitments, including the South American tour. The remainder of the weekend features two consecutive PLEs — AAA Ola de Calor and NXT Heatwave from Edinburgh, Texas — and WWE will record SmackDown at the same venue after Raw. Promotional material for the show also indicates it will be available live around the world on Netflix.

A contract signing on Monday will formalise the Oba Femi versus Bron Breakker meeting set for Sunday Night’s Main Event; that event is scheduled for Sunday, September 6, 2026 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia and will be WWE’s first-ever Sunday Night’s Main Event. The signing on Raw is presented as the official step toward that match.

Stephanie Vaquer is listed to make her in-ring return on Raw, her first match since WrestleMania 42, against Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez following an attack by the faction last week. The programme notes Vaquer’s match as her return bout and cites the prior assault as the impetus for the pairing.

The World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contenders Tournament reaches the semifinal stage on Raw, with Penta facing AAA’s La Parka in the first semifinal and Rey Fenix meeting Dragon Lee in the second; winners will advance to the tournament final. The company billed both matches as part of the path to determine a No. 1 contender.

LA Knight and Solo Sikoa are confirmed to appear on Monday in Ottawa after last week’s alliance against the Bloodline, with the show slated to address what lies ahead for the pair and whether the Bloodline chooses to retaliate in Roman Reigns’ absence. Both names are listed among the advertised appearances for the evening.

Bayley has not been on WWE television since her match with Lyra Valkyria on the July 18 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden, and a recent exchange with General Manager Adam Pearce on Instagram has prompted fan speculation about a possible return on Monday. Apart from Bayley, the preview notes no other major returns have been reported or widely speculated.

Raw will broadcast from the Canadian Tire Centre at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT on August 24, and WWE has also confirmed Money in the Bank is scheduled for October 10, 2026 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
