Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw (August 10, 2026) emanates from Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia and will air starting at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix.
Results, match winners, promo segment notes and other major developments from WWE's flagship show will be added below as Raw airs.
Preview & Predictions for WWE Raw:
On tap for tonight's episode, Penta battles Laredo Kid in the first round of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament; Austin Theory faces Akira Tozawa; Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez take on Sol Ruca and a partner of her choosing; Stephanie Vaquer speaks about her return; and Becky Lynch makes an appearance.
Penta is the overall favorite to win this title opportunity against Roman Reigns. Across the whole bracket, the tournament points toward him. Obviously, a win over Laredo Kid tonight seems inevitable and guaranteed.
I can't imagine Akira Tozawa gets a win over Austin Theory unless it is presented as a fluke victory. Theory is the lowest on the totem pole of The Vision, but he's still a tag team champion and Tozawa hasn't been booked as a winner for years at this point. This feels more like a means to extend a fledgling storyline than to actually start building up a solid push for Tozawa, who I feel deserves better than what his WWE run has been.
Sol Ruca's tag team partner is an interesting scenario. Since Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch are both now back, it's probably one of them who joins Ruca in fighting Raquel and Roxanne. Likely, Liv Morgan also gets involved, and the third person joins the fight and we set up a six-woman tag team match for next week (or the future if they stall even longer for that). I'm guessing Vaquer will be Ruca's partner and Lynch will get the post-fight run-in spot to be the opposite of how Vaquer followed Lynch from last week.
Here are your results for WWE Monday Night Raw - August 10, 2026:
- Jey Uso opened Raw by addressing Solo Sikoa, who responded from the crowd. Their verbal exchange led to a match being made for later in the night with major stakes attached: a Jey victory would force Solo to return to The Bloodline, while a Solo win would mean The Bloodline has to leave him alone.
- WWE World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament First Round Match: Penta defeated Laredo Kid by pinfall.
- Austin Theory defeated Akira Tozawa by pinfall. Theory tried to continue the attack afterward with a steel chair until Adam Pearce and several officials intervened. Bron Breakker, who had already been worked up earlier over the idea of Oba Femi being considered WWE's future, looked ready to pile on before Femi arrived and knocked Theory aside. Breakker and Femi nearly came to blows before they were separated. Later in the show, Breakker pressed Paul Heyman on whether he believes Femi is the future of WWE. Heyman acknowledged what Femi accomplished against Brock Lesnar, but suggested Breakker's repeated questioning was really a sign that Breakker himself is worried about Femi taking that spot. Heyman said Femi will continue to have his respect until Breakker gives him a reason to think otherwise.
- While Rey Mysterio was discussing the World Heavyweight Championship tournament with Cathy Kelley, Dragon Lee stopped by to thank him for the opportunity. Dominik Mysterio then interrupted to complain about being left out of the field, prompting Lee to challenge him to a match. Later, Chad Gable approached Rey to praise what he has been doing with AAA and the tournament before proposing an Intercontinental Championship match between the two. Rey was interested, and Gable said he would bring the idea to Adam Pearce.
- Stephanie Vaquer declared that The Judgment Day is afraid of her and insisted the women's championship belongs around her waist. Becky Lynch interrupted to argue that she is the one who should be champion, criticizing Liv Morgan for dragging the women's division backward after everything Lynch has done to push it forward. Morgan eventually blindsided Lynch, but Becky managed to fight her off. Vaquer came back into the picture as Liv retreated, leaving Lynch and Vaquer still at odds with each other.
- LA Knight took shots at Roman Reigns during a backstage interview before Solo Sikoa interrupted with a warning, saying what happened to Royce Keys last week could happen to Knight next. Knight later confronted Adam Pearce over being excluded from the World Heavyweight Championship tournament. Pearce told him another route into title contention would be found once the tournament plays out. Knight then crossed paths with Jacob Fatu, who told him to stop running his mouth about The Bloodline. Knight mocked Fatu for apparently needing permission before attacking him, leading Fatu to promise he would deal with Knight once he gets the green light.
- Dragon Lee defeated Dominik Mysterio by pinfall. Big Cass attacked Lee after the bell and dropped him with East River Crossing. Je'Von Evans attempted to make the save, but Cass shut him down with a clothesline and followed with a big boot.
- Sol Ruca made it clear she wants to move past her issues with The Judgment Day and refocus on regaining the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Danhausen briefly appeared and offered his services as her mystery partner at a discount, only for Ruca to reveal she had already found someone. Sol Ruca and Iyo Sky later defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez by pinfall when Ruca caught Perez with the Sol Snatcher. Afterward, Ruca and Sky celebrated backstage until Lyra Valkyria confronted them and warned Ruca not to interfere with her pursuit of the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Ruca questioned what Lyra has done to deserve another title shot, while Valkyria continued venting about Bayley before walking away.
- Jey Uso defeated Solo Sikoa by pinfall. Jimmy Uso appeared at ringside during the match and wound up taking a Samoan Spike from Solo. The distraction created an opening for Jey, who connected with a spear followed by the Uso Splash to score the win. Under the terms established earlier in the night, Jey will now bring Solo back to Roman Reigns and The Bloodline next week.
