Adam Pearce has laid out the card for Monday’s WWE Raw, and Stephanie Vaquer sits at the top of it. The Raw General Manager confirmed in his weekly Sunday preview on X that Vaquer will address her return, marking the first time she speaks on camera since coming back last week.
Raw comes from Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia on Monday, August 10, airing live on Netflix at 8 PM ET.
Announced so far:
- Stephanie Vaquer addresses her return to WWE
- Penta vs. Laredo Kid in a World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contenders Tournament match
- Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Sol Ruca and a mystery partner
- Akira Tozawa vs. Austin Theory
Vaquer resurfaced on the August 3 show in Des Moines, taking out Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez before a face-off with Becky Lynch. It was her first appearance since The Judgment Day wrote her off television on April 27, and WWE went to real lengths to keep it a surprise, booking her travel late so fans wouldn’t spot her. Morgan still holds the Women’s World Championship she won from Vaquer at WrestleMania 42.
The women’s tag match continues what started last Monday, when Ruca and Perez never got a clean finish. Morgan and Rodriguez interfered, the referee caught it, and Perez was disqualified before The Judgment Day beat Ruca down anyway. Rodriguez took the Women’s Intercontinental Championship off Ruca on July 27, and Ruca has since talked about what Triple H told her after the loss. WWE has not named her partner.
Tozawa and Theory comes out of the running feud between Alpha Academy and The Vision. The two teams met on the July 27 episode, which ended with Theory putting Otis down with a chair.
Roman Reigns’ Next Challenger
Penta vs. Laredo Kid opens the tournament that decides who Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against on the September 14 Raw in Mexico City. The winner advances to the semifinals.
The full bracket has Penta and Rey Fenix on opposite halves, which points toward one obvious final if both keep winning. Reigns himself is not scheduled for Norfolk. His next Raw date is August 17 in Buffalo.
