He threw to a two minute recap of the Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins which he called &#8220;an instant classic.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-710340752\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-They cut to the backstage area where Reigns was handed his title belt by a worker. He nodded and made brief eye contact and then put the belt over his shoulder. He looked around and smiled, presumably reflecting on his big win the night before. He headed to the ring to his music, smiling and slapping some hands. Cole called it &#8220;one of the great main event stories in Summerslam history.&#8221; He said Reigns &#8220;finally exorcised his demon.&#8221; Graves called it &#8220;an absolutely amazing main event to cap off an incredible weekend in Minnesota.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: I appreciate that the job of announcers and the promotion is to reenforce a strong point in the product they offer, but this continues to feel to me like a high-pressure car salesman trying to convince me something that I like is actually even much better than I realize to the point I kind of resent the strong-armed approach. It feels like overcompensation for cold ticket sales for a show headlined by that match, a sense that fans didn&#8217;t care about Seth facing Roman as much as the way it was framed in the storyline, and the match itself ended up hitting its strike after a while but it got off to a needlessly slow start and wasn&#8217;t any more special than many other WWE-style main events that build around signature moves and constant kickouts.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Reigns asked the fans to acknowledge him. An &#8220;OTC&#8221; chant eventually broke out with some gusto. He said he is a man of his word and he beat Seth Rollins. He said he knows &#8220;in these parts, that stings a little bit.&#8221; He added, &#8220;He is your boy and he is my little brother.&#8221; He said they might&#8217;ve found some peace. He held up the mic and let fans sing Seth&#8217;s song. LA Knight&#8217;s music then played and Reigns sneered. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think this is going to sit well,&#8221; said Cole.<\/p>\n<p>Knight entered the ring and looked at Reigns and said, &#8220;Let me talk to ya&#8217;.&#8221; He congratulated him on his win at Summerslam and still being the World Champion. He said he and Seth both said he couldn&#8217;t do it by himself, but he did. He said he is eating crow, &#8220;but you&#8217;re still a fraud.&#8221; He said he&#8217;s been calling his name for months and isntead of him answering, he sent his dogs at him. He said the last time the wrestled one-on-one, &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t so one on one.&#8221; He said he wanted what he gave Seth, a one-on-one match with no b.s. He said the could do it tonight, next week, at Money in the Bank, or at WrestleMania if he wants to wait that long. He said the only right answer is &#8220;Yeah!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reigns said he only sees one fraud. &#8220;I don&#8217;t come out here and call myself a megstar and wear a Walmart watch on my wrist,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A mega-star? Zoom in. This is what a mega-star wears on his wrist; understand me?&#8221; He said Knight won a six-man match, but asked what else he has done. He said he hasn&#8217;t won a battle royal or a tournament or a top contender. He said you don&#8217;t get a no. 1 contender shot by bitching and moaning. &#8220;We ain&#8217;t gonna sit here and complain anymore,&#8221; he said. He said it applies to everyone. He said he has wasted his and his cousins&#8217; time, so get to the back of the line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Reigns was leaving, he told him to stop. Reigns looked back at him. &#8220;First of all, your aura, you are so much cooler when you&#8217;re not standing right in front of me,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You stand here and make your little scrunchy faces and you talk about you haven&#8217;t earned it.&#8221; He said it took him and 38 people to beat him. He said he&#8217;s a fraud. He said Reigns isn&#8217;t on his level. &#8220;I&#8217;m lighting in a bottle,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m everything you wished you could be, but couldn&#8217;t.&#8221; He said he&#8217;ll smack him back to family settings and closed with his catch phrase. Knight left. Reigns yelled down at Knight. Knight said if he has a tournament for him, he&#8217;ll win it.<\/p>\n<p>-They went to Cole and Graves at ringside. They reacted briefly and then threw to a video package on Oba Femi beating Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: Reigns saying my watch is more expensive than yours is not going to seem all that relatable as a trait worth cheering for most viewers, although some viewers like that level of materialistic bravado as they like to latch onto someone else&#8217;s success or live vicariously through it. Knight making fun of Reigns&#8217;s &#8220;crunchy face&#8221; was quite a moment, as that really is his go-to reaction to so many things in his promos. I&#8217;m kind of surprised Reigns okayed drawing attention to that. Knight gave Reigns credit for winning clean, but it was a backhanded compliment that drew attention to how many times Reigns has needed and invited help from his family to win, including previously against him. Ultimately, we&#8217;re back to babyfaces tearing each other apart verbally, and I just don&#8217;t agree with WWE going there this often rather than saving it for a true dream match once every year or two. I think it&#8217;s pretty clearly cutting into positive fan reactions for their top babyfaces. On the bright side, I think Knight has earned a main event match against Reigns with the top level fan support he&#8217;s received in recent months.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3230112446\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Cole hyped that Oba would be out later.<\/p>\n<p>-Je&#8217;Von Evans made his entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Cole plugged a Zuffa Boxing angle with two boxers and nhyped the fight next month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) JE&#8217;VON EVANS vs. &#8220;ALL EGO&#8221; ETHAN PAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cole said this is their fifth one-on-one match going back to NXT. The bell rang 25 minutes into the hour. They cut to a double-box break at 4:00 with Evans in control. [c\/db]<\/p>\n<p>Ethan took over and taunted Evans with trash-talking and kicks to the head. Evans fired up and went on the attack against Ethan in the corner. When Evans tried to springboard off the middle rope, Evans knocked him off balance and then landed a back suplex. He set up an EgoPlex, but Evans countered with a small package for a two count. Evans threw a charging Ethan to the floor. Evan dove into Ethan in the time keeper&#8217;s area.<\/p>\n<p>When Ethan rallied, he used the ropes for leverage on a cover, but the ref caught him. Ethan landed the Confidence Breaker for a two count seconds later. The ref caught Ethan trying to remove a turnbuckle pad. As the ref scolded Ethan, Evans leaped over both of them and then springboarded off the top rope with an OG Cutter for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Evans in 13:00.<\/p>\n<p>-As Evans celebrated, Big Cass showed up in the ring. He gave Evans a big boot as soon as he turned around. Cole said it has been eight years since Cass has been in a WWE ring. Cole said Evans just went through a grueling match and now he&#8217;s getting attacked by Cass. Cass gave him an East River Crossing wind-up sideslam.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: I was an advocate for Cass getting a bigger push in AEW, but this felt sort of flat or just basic.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They went to Cole and Graves at ringside. Cole wondered why Cass went after Evans as the start of what he&#8217;s calling his redemption tour. Then they commented on a clip of Knight pinning Jey Uso after a BFT in the six-man tag match at SummerSlam.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage, Reigns told Jacob Fatu that he isn&#8217;t trying to go back to his old ways, but it doesn&#8217;t work if they lose. He said they&#8217;re family. He said Knight disrespected him and then said Royce Keys is a stupid name and asked Jacob why he keeps hearing he is family. He said he&#8217;s just one of the boys and they&#8217;re the only Bloodline. He said not to let the circus acts confuse them. &#8220;Trust no one,&#8221; he said. Jimmy said if he gives them the word, they&#8217;ll go get Knight. Reigns said they had their change against Knight, so leave it to him. He closed with &#8220;Don&#8217;t touch me.&#8221; Jey looked at Fatu and said, &#8220;Yeah, don&#8217;t touch him.&#8221; Reigns walked away and the Knight walked up to them and asked if he just heard them instructed not touch him. He said he doesn&#8217;t want their daddy to put the over his knee if they disobey his orders. He laughed and walked away.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: I mean, this seems like a journey to Reigns being reframed as an actual heel after all based on how he acted there, but who knows if WWE Creative knows what constitutes a heel anymore. Reigns seemed to be testing Fatu&#8217;s patience.) [c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Keys walked up to Fatu and asked how often they are going to go through this. He asked how often they had fought in Oakland, Sacramento, and LA. He said they&#8217;re still family. Fatu stood and snarled that he isn&#8217;t his family. &#8220;You&#8217;re just one of the boys,&#8221; he said. He said he wants a street fight and he&#8217;ll &#8220;dog walk his ass tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez made their entrance. They showed a clip of Morgan beating Iyo Sky at Summerslam. Liv, sporting a black left eye like Nick Aldis, told everyone they are in the presence of the greatest women&#8217;s champion of all time. She sang the words and extended &#8220;all&#8221; into about ten seconds. She said she defeated one of the best in the world. She said if the fans are mad, they can stay mad. Liv looked around and said she doesn&#8217;t see any challengers, so that means she&#8217;ll be the longest-reigning World Champion of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Liv said she wanted to talk about her best friend, Raquel. She said she is so proud to call her the new Intercontinental Champion. She said Perez was going to beat Sol Ruca next.<\/p>\n<p>-Sol Ruca made her entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) SOL RUCA vs. ROXANNE PEREZ (w\/Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match was joined in progress after the break 57 minutes into the hour. Cole said Sol wants to settle some scores since Perez and Raquel interfered to cost her the IC Title.<\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR TWO]<\/h3>\n<p>When Perez rolled to ringside, Sol did a flip onto the floor that had almost zero impact in any way on Perez, but Perez went down. They cut to a break seconds later at 4:00. [c]<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller&#8217;s Analysis: Like so much of Sol&#8217;s offense, that was just a stupid fancy move that looks awful almost always and therefore shouldn&#8217;t be done. Dives aren&#8217;t special anymore, and bad ones that miss like that just turn the craft of pro wrestling into a fake-looking joke.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Both were down in the ring and slow to get up. Sol landed a released German suplex and then kipped up and let out a yell. She followed with a running Shining Wizard knee strike for a two count at 12:00. Sol lifted Perez onto her shoulders. Perez countered into a roll-up for a two count. Perez blocked a face-plant and kicked toward Sol. Sol ducked but it looked like she was selling a bad miss and had to cover for her. Sol countered a Pop Rocks and landed an X-Factor. Perez stood on the ring apron. Sol knocked her down. Liv yanked on her leg and the ref DQ&#8217;d Liv.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ruca in 14:00 via DQ.<\/p>\n<p>-Perez gave Sol a Pop Rocks afterward. Perez then added a Tejana Bomb. The heel trio stood over Sol. Then Becky Lynch walked out. Liv got wide-eyed. Fans cheered. &#8220;Oh my God, Cole, did you know about this?&#8221; Graves asked. Cole said he didn&#8217;t but said it&#8217;s the first time they&#8217;ve seen Becky in over two months. She entered the ring and told Liv, &#8221; I came for you, sweet cheeks, to be sure it&#8217;s not another hundred days before you defend that title again.&#8221; She said she has become a glorified valet. She said a champion should be fighting, not just flirting. She mocked Liv&#8217;s voice and said it&#8217;s her worst title reign of all time. She said it&#8217;s not just her saying it, it&#8217;s everybody saying it. She said things are about to get a whole lot worse.<\/p>\n<p>Liv said this is very typical of Becky. She said she should be at home being a mommy to her daughter. She said instead she&#8217;s in her face because she&#8217;s jealous of her. When Liv left, Becky laughed at Liv and said she&#8217;s not even the best champion in her group or even the best champion who &#8220;slept with Rey Mysterio.&#8221; Then Stephanie Vaquer came out. &#8220;She&#8217;s back!&#8221; exclaimed Graves. Cole said they hadn&#8217;t seen her since WrestleMania. Fans chanted, &#8220;Holy shit!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1109748007\"><div id=\"pwtor-575421066\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE RAW RESULTS AUGUST 3, 2026 DES MOINES, IOWA AT\u00a0CASEY\u2019S CENTER STREAMED LIVE ON NETFLIX REPORT BY WADE KELLER, PWTORCH EDITOR Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves Ring Announcer: Lilian Garcia Attendance:\u00a0WrestleTix reports as of showtime <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2026\/08\/03\/wwe-raw-results-8-3-kellers-report-on-summerslam-fallout-return-of-big-cass-roman-reigns-reacets\/\" title=\"WWE RAW RESULTS (8\/3): Keller\u2019s report on Summerslam fallout, return of Big Cass, Roman Reigns reacets\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":190614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,47,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-220324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tvshowsandevents","category-tv_mondaynightraw","category-tv_wwetvreports"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-06-at-4.47.21\u202fPM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220324"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220332,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220324\/revisions\/220332"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
