WWE RAW Spoiler Card Sets 2 No. 1 Contender Semifinals, Teases Roman Reigns Return

Q: Will the ultimate prize tear brothers apart as Penta and Rey Fenix collide in next week's high-stakes tournament final?

Yes. Barring a late change, next week’s Raw is set to feature Penta vs. Rey Fenix in the final of the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender Tournament, after both advanced on the Aug. 24 episode in Ottawa. The results from the broadcast and multiple spoiler reports align: Rey Fenix defeated Dragon Lee in one semifinal, and Penta beat La Parka in the other. WWE coverage and follow-up reports also point to the final taking place on Aug. 31, with the winner earning a World Heavyweight Championship match against Roman Reigns in Mexico City on Sept. 14. Whether the “ultimate prize” tears the brothers apart is the open storyline question, but the stakes are clear. This is not just a showcase match between siblings; it directly determines the next challenger for one of WWE’s top titles. That naturally raises the possibility of tension, especially with both men positioned as serious contenders rather than supporting players in a family story. At the same time, there is no firm evidence yet that WWE is framing it as a personal split or betrayal angle. What is confirmed is the matchup itself and its significance: a brother-versus-brother final with a title shot on the line. Given the setting of the eventual championship match in Mexico City and the profile of both luchadors, WWE appears to be leaning into the drama and prestige of the clash more than openly signaling a rupture—at least for now.

Q: What drove the shocking faction interference that destroyed the main event tag match, and who is their next target?

The interference was driven by the surprise Raw debut alignment of Royce Keys with OTM — Bronco Nima and Lucien Price — as the group stormed the main event and attacked everyone in sight, turning the LA Knight/Solo Sikoa vs. Usos match into a no-contest. Commentary and follow-up coverage framed it as a statement-making arrival: Keys had turned heel and brought in OTM to announce themselves by wrecking one of Raw’s biggest ongoing conflicts. Their immediate target appears to be the Bloodline-related orbit around that match, especially The Usos and the wider Solo Sikoa-Jacob Fatu storyline. WWE’s own post-show framing asked what is next for LA Knight and Solo Sikoa in their fight against The Bloodline, while coverage of the angle noted that OTM “going after The Bloodline” set the tone for their first feud on the main roster. In practical terms, that means OTM and Keys have inserted themselves directly into the faction war involving The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Jacob Fatu, with LA Knight also caught in the middle. The closing angle suggested their goal was not a one-off attack but a power play: disrupt the established Bloodline-related programs and make themselves the next force on Raw.
