WWE Raw returns on Monday, August 17, 2026, from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, with Roman Reigns, Oba Femi, Seth Rollins, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Sol Ruca and Penta listed as featured superstars. The show will continue the tournament to decide the challenger for Reigns on the September 14 edition of Raw in Mexico City.
Fans are anticipating additional match announcements on Monday for the upcoming Sunday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, and the Buffalo broadcast’s preview includes the full match card, start times and viewing information. The tournament to determine Reigns’ challenger kicked off last week and resumes on Raw in Buffalo.
Last week’s August 10 show featured Jey Uso defeating Solo Sikoa in the main event under a stipulation that if Solo loses, he will have to rejoin the Bloodline. Solo lost the match, and as per the stipulation, Jey will now deliver Solo to Roman Reigns this Monday. The OTC will return to programming in Buffalo as the Bloodline drama takes center stage once again.
Two first-round tournament matches have been announced for the KeyBank Center show. Rey Fenix will face El Fiscal in one matchup. Dragon Lee will square off against El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in the other. The winners will advance into the semi-finals and join Penta and La Parka, both of whom secured their spots last week on Raw and AAA respectively.
The upcoming Sunday Night’s Main Event is scheduled for Sunday, September 6, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be WWE’s first-ever Sunday Night’s Main Event. The 2026 edition of Money in the Bank is set for October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
