WWE Raw Go-Home Show Could Bring Title Change, Heel Turn Before Crown Jewel

WWE’s final Monday Night Raw before Crown Jewel 2026 airs tonight, and the go-home show ahead of the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia premium live event is lined up to set the final tone for several ongoing stories.

The most concrete piece of business on tap is a WWE Intercontinental Championship match between champion Chad Gable and Ethan Page. Page has spent recent weeks goading Gable, calling out the former Olympian for ducking him despite defending the title against a string of lighter opposition. With the bout officially on the card, there’s a real chance “All Ego” finally gets his hands on gold heading into Crown Jewel.

John Cena is also set to return to the red brand tonight, where he’s expected to lay out more specifics on the John Cena Classic tournament he announced previously. Early indications point to the event taking place in December, which means tonight’s show could double as a launching point for Raw talent angling for a spot in the bracket. Expect wrestlers to start staking claims on-air once more details are revealed.

Elsewhere, LA Knight’s status remains a storyline worth watching. Knight hasn’t been seen on Raw since dropping the World Heavyweight Championship to Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank, and his extended absence has fueled speculation that “The Megastar” could return with a different attitude — potentially turning heel after a defeat that clearly rattled him. Nothing has been confirmed, but a shift in character would mark a notable pivot for one of the brand’s top babyfaces.

The Bloodline-946 rivalry also continues to simmer, with Solo Sikoa set to face Royce Keys in singles action tonight. Reigns inserted himself directly into the feud on the October 19 episode of Raw, helping The Bloodline get the better of 946 for the first time in their ongoing war. With Survivor Series: WarGames now looming on the horizon, tonight’s match could be the moment 946 responds by expanding its roster to even the odds.

None of these are locked outcomes — they’re the live possibilities built into tonight’s card given where each story currently stands. But that’s exactly what makes a go-home Raw worth watching: the stakes are high, Crown Jewel is just days away, and WWE has multiple threads it needs to either pay off or escalate before the roster heads to Saudi Arabia.

The Intercontinental Title picture alone could reshape the midcard scene on Raw, while Cena’s tournament reveal adds a new wrinkle to how the brand positions its stars heading into the final stretch of the year. Add in the lingering Bloodline-946 tension and Knight’s uncertain path forward, and tonight’s show has plenty of threads that could carry real consequences into Crown Jewel weekend and beyond.
