WWE Raw comes to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on Monday, August 24, and fans will need to tune in earlier than usual. Raw begins at the special start time of 6pm ET/3pm PT on Netflix.
The earlier start is because WWE will also tape Friday’s edition of SmackDown from the Canadian Tire Centre on Monday night.
The show includes two semifinal matches in the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender’s Tournament, with the winners moving one step closer to a potential match against Roman Reigns in Mexico City.
Here are the announced matches and segments for Monday’s show.

Penta vs. La Parka

Dragon Lee vs. Rey Fenix
The possibility of Penta and Fenix advancing immediately jumps out, but I’m particularly interested in seeing how WWE handles Fenix here. Either way, we’re getting two matches that should be given plenty of time.
Stephanie Vaquer is also back in singles action.

Oba Femi and Bron Breakker Meet Before SNME
Oba Femi and Bron Breakker will meet for a contract signing ahead of their clash at Sunday Night’s Main Event, with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce officiating. WWE has done an excellent job making this feel like a collision between two future faces of the company, and I don’t expect Monday’s segment to end with two signatures and a handshake.
LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, and The Bloodline’s Next Chapter
Pearce has also teased the “next chapter” of the ongoing saga involving LA Knight, Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline.
Last week’s Raw ended with Jey Uso fulfilling his promise to “deliver” Solo to Roman Reigns. Solo responded by attacking his own family before LA Knight made the save.
Jacob Fatu’s reaction may have been the most interesting part. After watching The Usos receive black ula falas from Roman while he received nothing, Fatu didn’t fully interject when the fight broke out.
That’s a thread worth watching closely Monday. WWE has several characters orbiting Roman again, but Fatu’s uncertain position within the family could become the most important piece of the story.
