Tonight’s episode of WWE Raw isn’t just another stop on the road to Night of Champions; it’s the decisive final chapter in the opening round of the prestigious King & Queen of the Ring tournaments. Broadcasting live from a nearly sold-out Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin (8 PM ET/5 PM PT on Netflix), the event promises high-stakes action and career-altering moments.
Tournament Spotlight: Four-Way Fury
King of the Ring First Round: Sheamus (2012 King of the Ring winner) vs. Rusev vs “Big” Bronson Reed vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso.
The winner advances to face Cody Rhodes in the SmackDown semifinals. Sheamus eyes a historic second crown, while Jey Uso aims to leverage hometown momentum after his World Heavyweight Title loss last week.
Queen of the Ring First Round: Asuka (returning after a year-long injury hiatus) vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez (current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion) vs. Ivy Nile.
The winner earns a semifinal clash with Alexa Bliss. Asuka’s comeback adds volatility to a bracket reeling from upsets like Roxanne Perez’s first-round win.
Undercard Clashes & Must-See Segments
Beyond the tournaments, Raw features escalating rivalries:
- Liv Morgan vs. Kairi Sane: A grudge rematch after Sane’s recent victory. Morgan must also explain her shocking attack on Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, who will be in attendance.
- Bayley’s Explanation: “The Role Model” addresses her vicious assault on Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch last week, reigniting a feud where Lynch historically leads 5-3 in singles matches.
- GUNTHER’s Reign Begins: The new World Heavyweight Champion appears fresh off dethroning Jey Uso. Expect a triumphant promo laying out his vision for the title.
