Monday’s episode of WWE RAW proved eventful for Grayson Waller, who landed himself in a singles match against PENTA after a heated backstage exchange with Adam Pearce.
As expected, the bout didn’t go Waller’s way. PENTA picked up the win with a Mexican Destroyer.

A third El Grande Americano made his presence felt on this week’s episode of WWE RAW.
During Dominik Mysterio’s match against Dragon Lee, Lee was surprised by a visit from not one, but two familiar faces dressed as El Grande Americano.
Just when Lee thought he had things under control, a third El Grande Americano appeared and caught him with a surprise kick from the apron. That allowed Dominik to capitalize, nailing Lee with a boot to pick up the “W.”
That’s gotta be a TRENTA by now… 😅 pic.twitter.com/Snm0KKegYV

Bayley played a big role in Lyra Valkyria’s loss to Becky Lynch at WWE SummerSlam 2025 (Night Two), striking Valkyria with a chain-wrapped punch.
On Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, tensions boiled over as Valkyria confronted Bayley backstage. Valkyria made it clear that whatever existed between them is over, stating that they are “neither friends nor enemies” and warning Bayley to stay the hell away from her.
The confrontation ended with Valkyria walking off.
“I need to get out of this Bayley Vortex.
I’m not your friend. I’m not your enemy. Just stay the hell out of my life.”
