What to watch for
John Cena's announcement. Cena has not said what it is, but his posts since last week point to the John Cena Classic, the fan-voted event he announced at Backlash in May, which still has no date, venue or names. If he fills in those details tonight, it will be the biggest news of the night. Our Cena return explainer has the full background.
Reigns and Zayn, one last time. This is Reigns' last chance to talk before Crown Jewel. Zayn kept his Undisputed WWE Championship on SmackDown in a No Disqualification match against Trick Williams, so the Champion vs. Champion main event is still on. Expect Reigns to make it personal.
The Intercontinental title. Last week, Ethan Page pinned Dragon Lee in a tag match where he and Big Cass beat Gable and Lee. Now Page gets Gable one on one with the title on the line. A title change on the last show before a Premium Live Event would be a surprise, but not impossible.
A preview of the tag title match. Penta and Je'Von Evans challenge Bron Breakker and Austin Theory for the World Tag Team Championship at Crown Jewel. Tonight they have Dragon Lee with them against the full Vision, which looks like a chance for both sides to build some momentum. Penta also still holds the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys. Sikoa accepted Keys' challenge on last week's Raw. It is a chance for Keys to get the biggest win of his main roster run so far.
After Raw: SmackDown taping
WWE stays in Brooklyn to tape this Friday's SmackDown, which already has Kevin Owens vs. CM Punk. Because it is taped, results could leak online tonight. We will not post SmackDown spoilers before it airs.
We will have Raw results as they happen on our live page. For everything on Saturday's show, read our Crown Jewel 2026 guide.
