The latest edition of WWE RAW featured a massive Triple Threat Match. IYO SKY, La Catalina, and Roxanne Perez squared off for a spot in the 2026 Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
In August, IYO SKY and Sol Ruca bested Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez in tag team competition. Meanwhile, Perez entered the match fresh off a victory in a four-way bout in Lucha Libre AAA. The contest also marked La Catalina’s in-ring debut on WWE RAW.
Thanks for the submission!

The Genius of the Sky and Catalina briefly worked together to take out The Prodigy at the start of the match. SKY and the AAA champion then displayed their in-ring prowess with fast-paced moves. At one point, SKY and Catalina both dived to the outside, risking it all.

Roxanne Perez later reduced the pace of the match, methodically targeting La Catalina’s limbs. She also hit an impressive Springboard Moonsault on SKY, but the Japanese sensation refused to stay down.
In the final stages of the match, The Prodigy delivered a Frankensteiner to SKY from the top rope. Catalina responded to the move with a Gory Special, but Perez kicked out. The Genius of the Sky seemed set to win the bout after attempting a double Over the Moonsault. However, the 24-year-old Judgment Day member moved out of the way.
Perez ended up pinning the former Women’s World Champion after hitting a Pop Rox out of nowhere. With the win on WWE RAW, the upstart booked her spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

After last week’s RAW in Mexico City, WWE stayed close by for this week’s show in San Antonio, Texas. Roxanne Perez and Penta qualified for their respective Money in the Bank Ladder Matches.
The Prodigy bested IYO SKY and AAA’s La Catalina. She’ll challenge La Catalina for the AAA Reina de Reinas Title at this weekend’s Worlds Collide event. Penta replaced Solo Sikoa after Royce Keys and OTM abducted him from the arena.
Thanks for the submission!

The women’s triple threat qualifier was one of the better matches of 2026, but WWE still made the next four mistakes on RAW from San Antonio.
#4. IYO SKY is pinned in first match in some time
Roxanne Perez, IYO SKY, and AAA’s La Catalina battled for RAW’s final spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. When the dust settled, The Prodigy moved on after pinning SKY.
Instead of pinning La Catalina, whom Perez faces this weekend, WWE opted to sacrifice one of its top stars. SKY hasn’t been used much since SummerSlam. She lost to Liv Morgan after winning Queen of the Ring.
Her last match was a tag team victory with Sol Ruca against Perez and Raquel Rodriguez on August 10th. Catalina may be a champion, but she’s competing tomorrow on NXT.

She isn’t the top priority when it comes to protecting someone in a pinfall. She could have been pinned and rebounded by beating Perez this weekend.
#3. Time for another week off!
Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett kept mentioning how everyone was still talking about last week’s World Heavyweight Title match between Roman Reigns and Penta. Some RAW stars and fans may be, but everyone else isn’t still gushing over the usual result.
There’s also been an episode of SmackDown and another edition of RAW. In keeping with his schedule since after Night of Champions, The Tribal Chief didn’t show up this week.
He’ll likely appear one more time before Money in the Bank. LA Knight had to cut a promo where half of his comments praised his enemy. It all felt like forced adulation for the champion who shows up every other week and doesn’t defend the title as much as other champions.

#2. WWE makes the Vision look weak twice
WWE made it seem like Je’Von Evans was far more formidable than the five-person Vision faction. Having Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed isn’t hard enough to deal with, but Evans routinely evaded interference to hang with Breakker all match.
He took out Austin Theory and Reed at various points until the match ended due to Theory’s interference. He fought the group off briefly but fell victim to the numbers game.
The Vision didn’t stand tall for long as Oba Femi returned to plow through the group. The Vision is supposed to be a top faction in WWE, but this booking paints them as fodder akin to Retribution or the Social Outcasts.
#1. The Judgment Day has four segments
Instead of featuring other WWE stars like Sol Ruca or giving Joe Hendry or Ethan Page longer segments, the Judgment Day was all over RAW from San Antonio. Roxanne Perez and Dominik Mysterio had matches.

Perez confronted Lola Vice after she “signed” her RAW contract. The entire faction had a promo segment halfway through the episode. Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch were also used in that segment.
This show felt like it was all about Morgan and her faction since Roman Reigns was absent. Breakker had a few spots as well, but the other members of the Vision did not compete.

Football fans were shown a “constant bombardment” of advertisements promoting junk food and drinks during matches at the 2026 Fifa World Cup, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Bristol and University of Oxford created an AI tool to analyse ads which were visible to television viewers during live play in the tournament’s 104 matches, mostly displayed on pitchside advertising boards and around stadiums in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
They found that logos and products for brands that produce junk food and drinks – defined by the UK government as being high in fat, salt or sugar – were displayed 65,722 times in total.
And the study also found that those adverts were visible for 28.1 hours’ time across the tournament, or just over 16% of the total time that matches were being played.

The ads were all shown on the international feed of matches during play – meaning they were visible to every viewer in every country broadcasting matches – and do not include ads shown during pre-match coverage, half-time commercial breaks, or the controversial in-match hydration breaks.
The model used by the researchers estimated that there were an average of 576 visible ads for junk food and drink shown during each individual match.
Coca-Cola had the highest number (21,893), followed by McDonald’s (13,915), Powerade (12,777), and Lay’s – the crisps manufacturer known as Walkers in the UK – (12,087).
All four brands are official partners of world football governing body Fifa, with the Powerade energy drink owned by the Coca-Cola company.

In response to the findings, Fifa argued that the vast majority of its revenue is put back into football, including on projects promoting health and wellbeing in which thousands of people participate.
A Fifa spokesperson said: “Fifa works with a broad, global portfolio of partners, all of which are subject to its governance and compliance frameworks.
“Fifa’s social impact campaigns, including Be Active, delivered messages of unity, inclusion, health and friendship to audiences on an unprecedented scale throughout the World Cup”.
BBC Sport also contacted Coca Cola, McDonald’s and PepsiCo – which owns Lay’s – but did not receive a reply.

The WNBA is winding down a season that doesn’t have much suspense down the stretch. All eight playoff spots were wrapped up before the recent 2 ½-week break for the FIBA World Cup so all that’s left is jockeying for playoff seeds.
There are just two games on Monday and the fourth-place Atlanta Dream can move closer to securing a first-round home game if they can win at the Liberty in the first of two straight matchups in New York. The other contest involves the Dallas Wings visiting Phoenix with the Mercury being the lone team in action that has been eliminated.
New York and Dallas are part of a three-way tie for sixth place with the Washington Mystics. The goal of both teams should be winning so they don’t end up facing the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx in the first round.
ATLANTA DREAM AT NEW YORK LIBERTY
The Dream (28-14) have won three straight games and Angel Reese has excelled in each of them – including 23 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday’s 106-81 win over the Chicago Sky — and has put together nine straight double-doubles. Reese has set WNBA records of 505 rebounds and 31 double-doubles and has been a good fit for Atlanta since acquired from the Sky.
The Liberty (26-16) rolled to a 106-69 road victory over the Toronto Tempo on Sunday behind Breanna Stewart’s 27 points. The win was the third in a row for New York. Sabrina Ionescu is struggling and is averaging just 8.0 points on 20% shooting (9 of 45) over her last four games.

The Liberty need to come up with some tactics to deal with Reese, who had 25 points and nine rebounds when New York beat Atlanta 104-90 win on June 11. If she breaks out like that again and either Allisha Gray (19.0 points per game) or Rhyne Howard (18.0) is hot, the Dream could notch a crucial victory.

DALLAS WINGS AT PHOENIX MERCURY
The Wings (26-16) have won six straight games, including two wins since the resumption of play. Dallas recorded an 87-82 home win over Phoenix on Saturday in the front end of a back-to-back. Paige Bueckers poured in 26 points.
The Wings finish the regular season against the WNBA-worst Seattle Storm so the schedule has set them up well. Meanwhile, the Mercury (15-27) are tied for the second worst record in the league after reaching the WNBA finals last season.
Mercury star Kahleah Copper (groin) has missed both games since returning from playing for the United States in the World Cup but might be in action Monday. Alyssa Thomas had a triple-double on Saturday with 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds and she always shows up.

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has pulled out of Slovenia’s squad as the club’s injury woes compounded on a day of four international withdrawals.
As a result he will now not feature in two Nations League matches against Scotland, plus other games against North Macedonia and Switzerland.
“Manchester United can confirm that Benjamin Sesko has withdrawn from the Slovenia squad ahead of the upcoming three-week international break,” said a United statement.

“Benjamin will undergo tests this week before defining his individual recovery plan.”
Sesko became the fourth United player to withdraw from international duty on Monday, with goalkeeper Karl Darlow similarly leaving the Wales camp despite being on the bench for the Fulham game.

Darlow’s exit was one third of the misery experienced by Craig Bellamy’s side, with Leeds star Harry Wilson forced out due to a quad injury, while Wrexham striker Nathan Broadhead has also been sidelined.
Michael Carrick confirmed Rashford picked up an “issue” at Craven Cottage, with the forward substituted while appearing to be struggling with his hip – which was a persistent issue over the summer.
Midfielder Mainoo, who travelled to this summer’s World Cup but did not play a single minute of the tournament under Tuchel, was also substituted during the closing stages of the draw.
In an age of sports media that features plenty of reporters and analysts who are on the payroll, directly or indirectly, of the teams and/or leagues they cover, some teams and leagues feel emboldened to take action against those who dare to cover them with scrutiny or criticism.
Long-time Bills radio voice John Murphy lost his press-box credential after writing a column regarding new coach Joe Brady for WIVB-TV, which is the official TV station of the team.
Advertisement
Via Alan Pergament of the Buffalo News, Murphy received a text from WIVB sports director Josh Reed two days after the column was posted that Murphy wouldn’t have a seat in the press box at the team’s new stadium.
Advertisement
Said Murphy regarding whether he believed the denial was a result of his column, “I think so, but I don’t know.”
The denial was attributed to a policy against part-time workers getting credentials.
The Bills declined a request for comment from Pergament.
Murphy claims that Bills V.P. of marketing Chris Jenkins told Murphy he’d receive a credential for the season, and that Murphy was shown the seat he’d be using.

Murphy also said that his subsequent column predicting a 10-win season for the Bills wasn’t posted by WIVB, after the station said it couldn’t be published due to pressure from the Bills.
Murphy spent 34 years as an analyst and a radio voice for the Bills. He retired in 2023 after suffering a stroke.
“I feel pretty bad,” Murphy told Pergament. “[WIVB] didn’t fight for me. [The column] wasn’t that bad.”
Advertisement
It’s not currently clear, and never may be known with certainty, whether the Bills retaliated against Murphy. Typically, such motivation isn’t worn on the sleeve of the entity doing the retaliation.

If that’s what’s happening, it would be sad. And it possibly would be a manifestation of the extreme pressure the organization is feeling to justify the decision to fire coach Sean McDermott while promoting Brady and G.M. Brandon Beane.
Oba Femi made his shocking return on tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW. He returned to get his revenge on the Vision. Bron Breakker was set to wrestle Je’Von Evans on tonight’s episode of RAW. After the match, Oba Femi took out the entire Vision.
After the match between Evans and Breakker ended, the Vision began attacking Evans. At that moment, the Ruler, Oba Femi, made his return and took out the entire Vision. He also used Evans as a missile as he threw out the OG to take out the entire Vision. In the end, Femi was standing tall in the ring.
Thanks for the submission!

The match between Breakker and Evans was made right after the Vision ran into Je’Von Evans backstage. The Young OG then got Breakker seething after slapping him.

Evans had the upper hand right off the bat. Even when Breakker tried to regain momentum, the Young OG kept fighting back. Despite the Vision’s constant interference, the Young OG continued to have the upper hand. But as RAW went to a commercial break, the Vision interfered yet again, and Breakker finally capitalized. The Unpredictable Bada*s attempted to hit a Spear, but the Young OG countered it with a jumping Super Kick.
The Young OG then climbed up the top rope to hit a cutter, but Austin Theory interrupted. But unfortunately, the referee saw what happened and called for the bell. He ruled this match a no-contest.
Next week, Evans and Breakker will be competing against each other in a Triple Threat to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder match.

Cruz and Bravo became the latest Mexican-Puerto Rican boxing rivalry as the Arecibo-born challenger attempted to pull off the upset and intercept Cruz’s looming shot at Dalton Smith’s WBC super-lightweight world title by capturing his Interim strap.
It wasn’t to be for Bravo as Cruz dominated a scrappy affair and twice floored his rival, with the latter being a devastating left-hook that closed the show in style and awarded the Mexican a first win inside of the distance since he won the WBA super-lightweight title against Rolando Romero in 2024.

Despite the damning defeat, Bravo, who had previously never been stopped, told FightHub that he was caught out by Cruz’s awkwardness and size, or lack of, rather than his punch power.
“To be honest, he is not the heaviest hitter. He’s just a little bit uncomfortable with his height, I don’t know. He was a little bit taller on weight day, when he took it off he was a little bit shorter, so there was a couple of shots that I didn’t see coming.
“It’s not as if his hands are heavy, but it’s the shots that you don’t see coming that hurt you. From the first round, he came in with a shot behind the head – it was not on purpose – but that was the shot that really buzzed me from the first-round.”
