WWE Raw Preview: Don't Miss a Special Early Airtime Today on Netflix

Comrades! WWE Raw airs early tonight at 6 ET on Netflix with tournament semifinals, a contract signing, and Stephanie Vaquer's return. Don't miss it!

Greetings, comrades! It is I, your El Presidente, reporting to you live from my private screening room aboard my luxury yacht currently anchored in the Ottawa River (the Canadian authorities have been most cooperative after I promised not to attempt any regime changes this week), and I have some tremendous news for all you wrestling fans out there! Tonight, WWE Raw comes to us from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, and the capitalist pigs at TKO have scheduled an early start time of 6 ET / 5 CT / 3 PT on Netflix. Why so early, you ask? Because according to the event listings, WWE is taping SmackDown immediately after Raw goes off the air, giving the workers a well-deserved break around the Labor Day holiday. Finally, the bourgeoisie do something right! Even a broken clock controlled by corporate overlords is correct twice a day, no?

Oba Femi and Bron Breakker to Take Part in a Sunday Night's Main Event Contract Signing

Last week, Paul Heyman said that the highly anticipated clash between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker would determine which Superstar is the true future of WWE.With tensions at a fever pitch, The Ruler and The Unpredictable Badass will once again come face-to-face when they sign the contract for Sunday Night's Main Event.Don't miss all the action of Raw, Monday at a special start time of 6 ET/3 PT on Netflix.

Ah, comrades, a contract signing! This reminds me of the time I was signing a peace treaty with Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-il at my volcano lair in 2009, and just as we were about to finalize our alliance against the CIA's meddling in our Netflix queues, Kim flipped the table because Fidel suggested that Lost was better than 24! The argument that followed was nearly as intense as what we can expect between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker tonight. These two powerhouses have been circling each other like myself and the CIA at a United Nations cocktail party, and Paul Heyman orchestrating this match is genius! Heyman understands that the future of WWE belongs to those who can seize the means of production… or in this case, seize their opponent and throw them through the ring! The Ruler versus The Unpredictable Badass for Sunday Night's Main Event? This is the kind of workers' struggle I can get behind!

Penta Takes on La Parka in a World Title No. 1 Contender's Semifinal Match

Former Intercontinental Champion Penta will show zero fear when he battles the dangerous La Parka in the semifinals of the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament. Who will advance to the final to take on Dragon Lee or Rey Fenix and move one step closer to challenging World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns when Raw returns to Mexico City on Sept. 14?Find out Monday on Raw at a special start time of 6 ET/3 PT on Netflix.

Comrades, as someone who has hosted many lucha libre shows at my presidential palace (usually to distract the populace during economic downturns), I can tell you that Penta versus La Parka is going to be absolutely spectacular! These two luchadores represent the finest tradition of Mexican wrestling, and they are fighting for the chance to lose to Roman Reigns in Mexico City on September 14! This tournament, announced by AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio, has been a gift to the wrestling world. Penta advanced by defeating Laredo Kid on the August 10 Raw, while La Parka defeated Psycho Clown at the August 15 AAA show. The winner of this match will face either Dragon Lee or Rey Fenix in the final, and then… then they get to job out toThe Tribal Chief! This is workers uniting across borders to pursue championship glory, which is basically socialism with suplexes!

Dragon Lee Engages Rey Fenix in World Title No. 1 Contender's Semifinals

Explosive lucha phenomenon Dragon Lee is set to go head-to-head with AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix in the semifinals of the World Heavyweight Title No. 1 Contender's Tournament.Which Superstar will move forward to take on Penta or La Parka in the final to determine who will challenging World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns when Raw returns to Mexico City on Sept. 14? Don't miss all the action of Raw, Monday at a special start time of 6 ET/3 PT on Netflix.

The other bracket of this magnificent tournament features Dragon Lee taking on AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix! Both men advanced on the August 17 Raw, with Dragon Lee defeating El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Rey Fenix defeating El Fiscal. Now they must battle each other for the right to advance to the final! This reminds me of the time I was playing poker with Hugo Chávez and Muammar Gaddafi, and we bet our entire oil reserves on who could do the best lucha libre impression. Gaddafi attempted a hurricanrana on one of my guards and nearly broke his hip, while Chávez nailed a perfect tope suicida through my palace window into the pool! These two were warriors like Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix, comrades. The athleticism we will witness tonight will be breathtaking, and my pet capybara Esteban is already preparing his viewing area with the finest Venezuelan rum and imported cheeses!

Stephanie Vaquer Returns to Action Against The Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez

After battling back from injury at the hands of The Judgment Day, Stephanie Vaquer is set to return to battle against one of the Superstars that caused her ailment, Roxanne Perez. How will Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and Women's Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez factor into the outcome?

After Becky Lynch made it clear that she will always be Vaquer's biggest problem as long as she continues to pursue the Women's World Title, could The Man come around as well? Find out when La Primera looks for payback against the cunning Perez, Monday on Raw at a special start time of 6 ET/3 PT on Netflix.

Ah, revenge! The sweetest dish, best served cold like the mountain springs of my compound! Stephanie Vaquer, La Primera herself, returns from injury to face Roxanne Perez of The Judgment Day faction that caused her injury in the first place! This is poetic justice, comrades. On the August 17 Raw, Becky Lynch came to Vaquer's aid during a Judgment Day attack, but the two could not get on the same page against Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, allowing The Judgment Day to dominate both. Tonight, Vaquer gets her payback match, but WWE's preview teases possible involvement from Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Lynch herself! This has all the makings of of an explosive bout, which I appreciate as a connoisseur of explosives (the metaphorical kind… usually). Perez and Rodriguez lost to Sol Ruca and IYO SKY on the August 10 Raw, shaking The Judgment Day's confidence, so perhaps their grip on power is weakening? When factions begin to crumble, it is like watching a bourgeoisie empire collapse from within! Beautiful!

How to Watch WWE Raw

All of this glorious wrestling action comes to you tonight, Monday, August 24, 2026, at the special early time of 6 ET / 5 CT / 3 PT on Netflix from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. WWE's event page lists tonight as "Monday Night RAW & WWE SmackDown," and SmackDown will be taped after Raw concludes. WWE is also taping another episode of each show on Friday, planning ahead around the upcoming Labor Day holiday, which means the workers get a well-deserved break from the capitalist pigs at TKO! Solidarity with the workers, always!

For more information on tonight's WWE Raw, you can visit WWE's official preview page.

So tune in tonight, comrades, for what promises to be an exceptional episode of WWE Raw! I will be watching from my yacht's state-of-the-art screening room, where Esteban has already arranged a feast of poutine (when in Ottawa, no?) and champagne. The capybara has excellent taste! Until next time, remember: the revolution will not be televised, but WWE Raw certainly will be… on Netflix at 6 ET!

¡Viva la revolución! ¡Viva la lucha libre!
