What is WWE Raw on October 5, 2026?

It is that Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, a professional wrestling television show. The October 5 episode is being promoted as the final Raw before WWE’s Money in the Bank event, making it a lead-in to the weekend’s larger show. ²

WWE’s listing gives the Raw broadcast time as 8 p.m. Eastern and 5 p.m. Pacific, and says it will be available on Netflix. ¹ The episode is scheduled to come from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. ²

Why are Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan facing each other?

They are competing in a No. 1 Contender’s Match. In plain terms, the winner earns the next opportunity to challenge for the Women’s World Championship. WWE says Stephanie Vaquer will defend that title at Money in the Bank against the winner of this match. ¹

The title changed hands at a WWE live event in Chile on September 12, when Vaquer reclaimed it from Morgan. Lynch was the special guest referee for that match. ¹ That earlier result helps explain why this contender match is a notable part of the Raw preview.

Is Roman Reigns returning to Raw tonight?

Roman Reigns is expected to make a return, according to the supplied preview. ² That wording signals an expectation, not confirmation of what he will do during the show.

The available report does not say whether Reigns is scheduled for a match, a brief appearance, or an announcement. Viewers should treat the return as a preview item rather than assume the exact shape of his segment.

What matches are on the October 5 Raw card?

WWE has specifically advertised Becky Lynch against Liv Morgan in the title-contender match. ¹ A preview report says Raw general manager Adam Pearce confirmed at least four matches for the episode. ²

The source provided here does not name the other matches. It would be misleading to fill in the rest of the card from guesswork. Match plans can also be presented as part of a live wrestling show, so the available preview is not a complete account of what viewers will see.

What does this mean for an ordinary viewer?

If you follow the women’s title story, the key question is whether Lynch or Morgan earns the match against Vaquer at Money in the Bank. If you are watching for Reigns, the preview points to a possible return but does not describe his role. ¹²

For someone deciding whether to watch, the practical details are the advertised time, Netflix availability, and the St. Louis venue. ¹² The episode is being framed as a setup for the next event, rather than as a complete account of that event’s outcomes.
