World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns returns to WWE Raw as tournament action and championship matches headline the August 17 show in Buffalo, New York.
WWE Raw returns tonight, live from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, highlighted by the return of World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns. After missing last week's show, Reigns will appear to address recent developments. Following Jey Uso's main event victory over Solo Sikoa on the August 10 edition, Jey is set to deliver Sikoa back to Reigns as per their match stipulation.
The ongoing tournament to crown Reigns' challenger for the September 14 edition of Raw in Mexico City also continues tonight. Rey Fenix will face El Fiscal, while Dragon Lee squares off against El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. The winners of both matches will advance to the semi-finals to join Penta and La Parka, who earned their spots last week on Raw and AAA, respectively.
In championship action, Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable will defend his title against Rey Mysterio following a mutual agreement last week. Additionally, Lyra Valkyria will face Sol Ruca in an effort to stake her claim for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship after a backstage confrontation between the two.
Looking ahead, WWE's calendar includes its first-ever Sunday Night's Main Event on September 6, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by Money in the Bank on October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
