WWE Raw (Episode 1,742)
Bossier City, Louisiana, at Brookshire Grocery Arena
Streamed live on October 12, 2026, on Netflix
[Hour One] Joe Tessitore opened the show… A Money in the Bank recap video aired… Tessitore and Corey Graves spoke at their ringside desk. Tessitore narrated backstage/arrival shots of Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso, the Judgment Day’s Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Roxanne Perez, Women’s U.S. Champion Raquel Rodriguez, and JD McDonagh, Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable, AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix, and Oba Femi…
Ring announcer Lilian Garcia introduced men’s Money in the Bank winner Penta, who headed to the ring with a black, white, and red MITB briefcase with his logo on the front, with the words “Dinero Banco.” A “you deserve it” chant broke out. Penta thanked his MITB opponents and said he’s earned everything.
Je’Von Evans’ entrance theme played. Evans limped onto the stage with his right arm in a sling. Footage aired of Evans’ bump through the top of the ambulance at MITB. Evans lifted his shirt to show that his ribs were wrapped. He said he was hurting, but he wasn’t going to miss a Raw. Evans told Penta that he was proud of him and said he deserved it. Penta and Evans hugged.
Bron Breakker entered the ring. When Penta and Evans stopped hugging, Evans spotted Breakker and shoved Penta aside. Breakker speared Evans and then left the ring. Trainers ran out to check on Evans. Breakker smiled and gave a thumbs up before a commercial break… [C]
Powell’s POV: I didn’t think the ambulance bump looked very good, due to the top of the ambulance clearly being made out of wood. Still, I think it’s the right move to have Evans play up his storyline injuries. Also, Lilian Garcia noted on her Instagram page today that Byron Saxton was a late replacement as the Money in the Bank ring announcer due to Alicia Taylor being ill. She got the call to fill in tonight. Finally, WrestleTix listed the venue as being set up for 7,924, with 7,328 tickets distributed. The total number of seats on the map is 12,840. The last time WWE ran the venue, 3,823 tickets were distributed for an April 30, 2023 live event.
Big Cass was in the ring coming out of the break. Rey Mysterio’s entrance was televised…
1. Rey Mysterio vs. Big Cass. Rey slapped Cass and then went to the floor. Cass went after Rey, who dropped down next to the ring steps. Cass couldn’t find Rey, who ended up on the apron. Rey dove at Cass, who caught him, but was able to perform a hurcanrana that sent Cass into the barricade. Cass came back by shoving Rey into the barrier. Cass pressed Rey over his head and tossed him over the top rope and back inside the ring. [C]
