WWE Raw preview: Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria No Disqualification and Becky Lynch vs Stephanie Vaquer set for October 26 in Fresno
Monday Night Raw on October 26, 2026, will be broadcast live from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, with Bayley meeting Lyra Valkyria in a No Disqualification match and Becky Lynch facing Stephanie Vaquer in a Women's World Championship No. 1 Contender's match.
The episode arrives amid the build to Crown Jewel on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Roman Reigns, the World Heavyweight Champion, is slated to meet Sami Zayn, the Undisputed WWE Champion, in a Champion vs Champion match at the premium live event. The ongoing rivalry between The Bloodline and The 946 has produced several encounters and remains a storyline to watch on Raw.
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria have been feuding since Bayley's return in September, with Bayley repeatedly attacking Valkyria during her matches. On the October 19 show Valkyria faced Lola Vice and Bayley interrupted the contest, preventing Valkyria from securing a win; the rivalry continued into a post-match brawl in which Bayley prevailed. Bayley then challenged Valkyria to a No Disqualification match for the October 26 episode, a stipulation that removes the usual restrictions of a singles match.
Stephanie Vaquer has been cleared by doctors of an ankle injury and will compete against Becky Lynch with the winner earning a shot at Liv Morgan's Women's World Championship. Lynch approached Vaquer about setting aside their differences to contest a No. 1 Contender's match once Vaquer recovered, and WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made the bout official after Vaquer declared herself fit. The two have not previously met one-on-one; their only prior encounter was a triple threat that included Liv Morgan and ended with Morgan winning the title.
