Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan makes her way to the ring alongside Raquel Rodriguez and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. Morgan is wearing a huge ring on her finger, which signifies her WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. The actual title is being stored in a vault at the WWE Experience in Saudi Arabia.
Morgan says, “Welcome to Monday Night Morgan.” She asks them to give a warm welcome to the new Crown Jewel Champion—her. The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour is officially over. Now, we’re moving on to the Liv Morgan World Tour. Just this past week, she defeated Tiffany Stratton and took out Rhea Ripley for the third time. Morgan ensured she’d be gone for a very long time. Then she traveled halfway across the globe to beat Nia Jax to become the new and only Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. The crowd boos. Morgan shouts, “Too bad!” She’s done everything she said she would do and proved she is the greatest Women’s Champion of all time. The crowd loudly boos.
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio grabs the microphone, and the crowd loudly boos him. Mysterio tries to speak, but they boo him down.
“A storm is coming.”
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair make their entrance. They get in the ring. Belair says they’re not the only ones who walked out of Crown Jewel with some gold last night (this show was taped on Sunday). Belair says they didn’t forget about the confrontation last week. Cargill says if they want a piece of the Tag Team Champions, now is their chance.
Morgan says they’re interrupting a celebration in the ring. Morgan mentions they were successful on Saturday, so why are they so angry? She thinks she knows… Belair thinks she’s the biggest, strongest, toughest, roughest… she thinks she’s the best. The problem is that her tag team partner thinks the same thing about herself. They can pretend to like each other and get along. Unlike the real friendship she has with Raquel, the only thing keeping them together is the Tag Team Championships. Belair says that’s not true. If they want to put that theory to the test, they can have a match tonight.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce heads to the ring and tells everyone to back up. Pearce gets in the ring and tells them to back down and calm down. Morgan shouts for them to get out of the ring. Morgan warns Cargill to avoid the knife Belair will put in her back. Belair takes exception to that and smashes Morgan in the face with her fist. Pearce tries to regain order. Pearce is here to make an announcement. What Morgan did to Ripley was disgusting. There will be a Battle Royal tonight. Whoever wins will be the No. 1 Contender for the Women’s World Championship. The Women’s Tag Team Champions will be in the Battle Royal. The biggest news of it all is that the Battle Royal starts right now.
Damage CTRL heads to the ring. The No. 1 Contenders Women’s Battle Royal is next.

Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is seated at ringside with Raquel Rodriguez to find out who will be the next No. 1 Contender for her title.

Deville knees Carter in the face to eliminate her. Deville pulls Chance off Baszler’s back and attacks her in the corner. Dupri takes Deville down and kicks Baszler in the head, but Baszler saves herself from being eliminated. Dupri hits an Inverted Worm on Deville. Fyre grabs Dupri and puts her on the apron before punching her. Dupri punches back and shoulders her in the midsection. Nile then superkicks Dupri off the apron to eliminate her.

We come back from the break to see Sane attacking Natalya to save Sky. Natalya is sent into the ropes, and Damage CTRL hits her with a double dropkick. During the commercial, Sane eliminated Vega with a Cutlass. Natalya also eliminated Fyre. Chance also saved herself by doing a handstand and “walking” herself back to the apron, her feet never touching the floor in the process. Sky would then dropkick Chance off the apron to eliminate her.
Back to live action, Natalya gets Sane on the apron. Sane shoulders Natalya and hits an ax kick. Belair (and Cargill, sort of) hit Sane to eliminate her. Pure Fusion Collective takes the Women’s Tag Champions down. Baszler and Deville team up to eliminate Natalya. Cargill and Belair then dump Baszler and Deville over the top rope to eliminate them.
We’re down to the Final Four: Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, Lyra Valkyria, and IYO SKY.

They then wipe out Sky by slinging her into the middle turnbuckle. Cargill sends Sky over the top rope, but she hangs onto the top rope. Belair sends Valkyria over the top rope, but she also holds on. Cargill and Belair square off, but before anything happens, Valkyria and Sky attack. Belair hits Valkyria with a KOD as Cargill hits Sky with Jaded. Belair has Valkyria over the top rope, but Raquel Rodriguez grabs Belair’s braid and starts pulling! Cargill runs over to make the save, so Morgan jumps on the apron and pulls Cargill over the top rope along with Belair. Belair and Cargill are irate and chase Morgan and Rodriguez into the crowd.
It’s down to Sky and Valkyria. Sky hits her with running double knees in the corner. Valkyria blocks herself from being sent over the top rope. Valkyria puts Sky over the top rope and sweeps the legs, but Sky holds on. Sky pulls Valkyria over the top rope. Valkyria holds onto the top rope and sweeps Sky’s legs. They’re fighting on the apron. Sky tries to stomp Valkyria off the apron, but Valkyria holds the foot. The crowd is loving this match. Sky viciously clubs away at Valkyria. Valkyria pushes and big boots her into the ring post. Sky is still on the apron. Valkyria puts Sky on her shoulders, but Sky fights off. Sky punches her and hits a VICIOUS German Suplex on the apron, landing Valkyria high on her neck! Valkyria rolls off to the floor.
Winner: IYO SKY via Pinfall.
Backstage: New Day
Cathy Kelley is backstage with the New Day. She mentions that the War Raiders became the No. 1 Contenders for the World Tag Team Championship last week. Xavier Woods says they should have won that match, but Chad Gable got involved, leading to the War Raiders’ victory. Kofi Kingston doesn’t seem to agree with that version of the events. Kingston says the Raiders didn’t win straight up… Woods says Kingston dropped the ball. They begin to bicker…
Video: Bo Dallas, The Miz
YEARS in the making… 😲😲😲#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/mKcxDFUIqV

The Wyatt Sicks interrupts the broadcast. The Miz is shown tied up in a chair and his mouth duct taped. Bo Dallas rips the tape off. The Miz says he’s not with the Final Testament. This is a big misunderstanding. Dallas laughs and says they don’t want the Final Testament. They want Miz. Miz will crawl on his belly through thorns and thistles. Miz will beg and plead for mercy until he returns to the ground. Miz is dust, and to dust, he will return. Dexter Lumis, dressed as Mercy the Buzzard, emerges and grabs Miz, but the camera cuts out before we see anything else.

This past Saturday, Goldberg announced that he would have his retirement match with WWE in 2025.

In-Ring: Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso
Breakin' our hearts here, Sami…#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/YJzIw5DBQM
— WWE (@WWE) November 5, 2024
Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring to a big reception.
Video: This past Saturday at WWE Crown Jewel, Sami Zayn came to help Roman Reigns and The Usos against the Bloodline, but Zayn accidentally took Reigns out with a Helluva Kick.
Zayn greets the crowd in Arabic to a huge reaction. He says he is proud to come out in front of his people and speak their language on WWE TV, but that’s not why he’s here. He’s here to address what happened with him, Roman Reigns, and the Bloodline at Crown Jewel.
“Main Event” Jey Uso makes his way to the ring. Uso is not in a celebratory mood after losing to the Bloodline at Crown Jewel. The crowd LOUDLY sings Uso’s song. Uso says before Zayn says what he needs to say, he wants to thank Zayn for having his back at Crown Jewel. Uso looked at the footage of the kick to Reigns at Crown Jewel. Uso wants to know if that was intentional.
Before Zayn can answer, Jimmy Uso heads to the ring. Jimmy asks Jey what is wrong with him. Jey saw what he saw. The whole world saw it. Zayn kicked OTC in the face on purpose. The crowd boos. Jimmy is pissed, and the OTC is pissed. Jey should be pissed. They can’t trust Zayn. Zayn asks if Jimmy needs to be reminded of his track record. Before it was him and Jey, Jimmy was his guy. Jimmy brought him into the family first. The second things started to go back with him and Roman, Jimmy kicked him in the face. When things got back with Reigns, Jimmy kicked him in the face. When things got bad with Jey, Jimmy kicked him in the face. Zayn’s loyalty isn’t in question.
Jimmy says he doesn’t have to explain himself to Zayn. He isn’t the bad guy. Zayn says Jimmy doesn’t get it. Zayn says he doesn’t hate him and never has. Jimmy is not the bad guy. He’s not a bad guy, but he makes bad decisions. Zayn came out at Crown Jewel for Jey. Zayn wanted to make sure Jey was okay, but for a minute, when the four of them were fighting side by side in the ring, it felt like old times. It felt good, but it only lasted a minute. Then it fell apart. Zayn isn’t getting his loyalty questioned and isn’t getting put on trial. Zayn isn’t doing this again. Zayn says he loves Jey, but he can’t do this again. Zayn puts a hand on Jey’s shoulder and says, “I’m out.”
Zayn leaves the ring as the crowd chants, “No!” Jey says, “Sami, I’m asking you, please just come to SmackDown so all four of us can talk this out like family do.” Jimmy is incredulous and says, “Family? He ain’t family!” Jey says he was wrong. Just because he’s not blood-related, he IS family. Jey says he sees Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn. A loud “Sami Uso” chant fires up. Jey shouts, “Sami Usssss-O!” The crowd is really buzzing. Zayn looks conflicted as he stands on the ramp. Zayn backs up and heads to the back.
Backstage: Seth Rollins
Jackie Redmond is backstage with Seth “Freakin” Rollins. She mentions he had a battle with “Big” Bronson Reed. Rollins says it was a hell of a performance, but what has earned him a spot in the Fatal 4-Way is his resume. Rollins will tell everyone who he is but wants to talk about Bronson Reed. Reed took everything Rollins had and got up, asking for more. Rollins respects him and knows they will dance again. Rollins has gold on his mind. Three of the best in the world (and Dom Mysterio) will duke it out for the No. 1 Contendership for the World Heavyweight Championship, the title he established. After Crown Jewel, he knows he is a visionary and a revolutionary. He is Seth “Freakin” Rollins.

Backstage: Imperium
Jackie Redmond is backstage with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. She says Saturday didn’t go Gunther’s way but wants to know what he thinks about Cody Rhodes. Kaiser starts shouting about Rhodes, but Gunther cuts him off. Gunther says he might disagree on things with Rhodes, but he didn’t get lucky and isn’t undeserving. Rhodes was the better man. She asks Gunther about the competitors in the Fatal 4-Way who want to become the No. 1 Contender. Gunther says there are three amazing competitors, and Dom. Gunther says Kaiser didn’t take care of Sheamus. It’s on Gunther to do better. Gunther then looks at Kaiser and says they both need to do better.
