Tonight's episode of WWE Raw took place at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Last week's episode featured The Usos attempting to "deliver" Solo Sikoa to Roman Reigns, only for Sikoa and LA Knight to flip the script and take down The Bloodline all by themselves. This move by Knight and Sikoa certainly shifted the power dynamic as it stands on Monday nights.

Tonight's episode of Raw saw Oba Femi and Bron Breakker sign their contract for their upcoming match at Sunday Night's Main Event. Former Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer also returned to action with a statement win over Roxanne Perez.

You can check out the complete results from tonight's episode below.

WWE Raw results:

This week's episode kicked off with LA Knight coming to the ring to speak to the WWE Universe. Knight was confused about why Roman Reigns didn't have the guts to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against him. Knight spoke about being against the entire Bloodline, but put over Solo Sikoa for having his back.

Solo Sikoa comes out through the crowd and thanks Knight for what he did for him last week. They mock Jey Uso's "warning shot," which brought out The Usos. Jimmy said Sikoa would face consequences for what he did last week. Jey tried to do his warning shot, and Sikoa dodged it like he's Neo in The Matrix. A tag match is set between the four men for later in the show.

Booking Grade: 9/10

  • LA Knight has firmly established himself as a credible challenger for Roman Reigns
  • Solo Sikoa and Knight are hilarious together
  • Roman Reigns not showing up after being laid out last week is weak

In the opening contest of the evening, Stephanie Vaquer returned to action to take on Roxanne Perez of The Judgment Day. The finish of the match saw outside interference from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, which brought out Becky Lynch to even the odds, allowing Vaquer to score the pinfall victory over Perez.

Booking Grade: 9/10

  • A very fun opening contest
  • Vaquer looked great in her return after several months off due to injury
  • Becky Lynch keeping things fair for Vaquer was a nice touch

A different side of Je'Von Evans?

Backstage, Rey Mysterio wished Rey Fenix good luck before his match against Dragon Lee. After Fenix left, JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio approached Rey and gave him grief for not putting his son in the tournament. McDonagh threatens Rey, which brings in a fired-up Je'Von Evans, who takes down both McDonagh and Dirty Dom, much to the delight of Rey.

Back in the ring, the World Heavyweight Championship number one contenders tournament continued as Rey Fenix took on Dragon Lee in a semifinal matchup. The finish of the match saw Fenix hit Lee with a Mexican Muscle Buster to score the pinfall victory. Both men showed respect to one another following the match.

Booking Grade: 10/10

  • An excellent match that the fans got more and more into as it went on
  • Rey Fenix is finally starting to shine as a member of the WWE roster
  • Dragon Lee looked great, even in defeat

Lola Vice is coming to Raw

A vignette airs for former NXT Women's Champion Lola Vice. She will make her Raw debut on September 14.

Back in the ring, Adam Pearce and Paul Heyman are in the ring for the contract signing between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker at Sunday Night's Main Event. Femi and Breakker both come out to sign the contract. Breakker is to sign first but questions why Femi believes he's the future just because he beat Brock Lesnar and won King of the Ring. Breakker claimed Femi is only in the spot he's in because he got hurt earlier this year.

Femi called Breakker an "angry, orange man" and basically told him that if he came up in any other generation, he could have been the face of WWE. However, now that he's here, he has to deal with him, which greatly lessens his odds. Breakker said he's going to drag Femi out into the deep waters and defeat him at Sunday Night's Main Event.

Breakker signed the contract, then told Heyman he should sign it for Femi. Heyman tells Breakker not to do it, and Bron uses the moment to cheap-shot Femi. The two men brawl, and Austin Theory gets involved. Femi takes out both men and puts Theory through a table before signing the contract, too.

Booking Grade: 6.5/10

  • A basic paint by numbers contract signing
  • Neither promo was overly compelling
  • Femi single-handedly taking out both men tells you all the need to know how WWE views the tag team division

The Usos and Jacob Fatu still aren't getting along

There's a backstage segment between The Usos and Jacob Fatu. The three of them argue about what happened last week. Fatu told them he only listens to Roman Reigns. Jey Uso showed off his ula fala and said he's running the plays now and told Fatu to stay in the back tonight.

Back in the ring, Big Cass competed in his first WWE match in eight years, taking on Je'Von Evans. The finish of the match saw Cass hit Evans with a big boot to score the pinfall victory. After the match, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh attacked Evans for what he did to them earlier in the show.

Booking Grade: 7/10

  • If you weren't a fan of Big Cass and his work eight years ago, not much has changed
  • Je'Von Evans showed good fire in the match
  • The crowd really didn't care about this match other than Evans' big spots

Jackie Redmond speaks to Sol Ruca backstage. It's announced that Sol Ruca will get her rematch against Raquel Rodriguez next week for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. IYO SKY comes in and congratulates Ruca on getting her rematch. Lyra Valkyria also comes in and asks Ruca to give her the title match instead, but Ruca declines.

The Lucha Brothers will face off for the right to challenge Roman Reigns for the World Championship

Back in the ring, the other semifinal matchup in the World Heavyweight Championship number one contenders tournament took place as Penta took on La Parka. The finish of the match saw Penta hit La Parka with a Mexican Destroyer to score the pinfall victory. After the match, Penta and Fenix had a respectful face-off on the entrance stage.

Booking Grade: 8.5/10

  • A good match, but not as good as the other semifinal matchup
  • The outcome of this match was never in doubt
  • La Parka had a solid outing in front of an audience that clearly wasn't familiar with him

In the locker room, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight speak to each other before the main event. Sikoa again thanks Knight for having his back last week and tells Knight that he owes him. Knight responded by telling Sikoa he didn't owe him anything, just don't make him regret trusting him. The two men certainly seem to be on the same page.

Elsewhere backstage, Adam Pearce congratulated Chad Gable on his Intercontinental Title defense against Rey Mysterio. Pearce left, and Ethan Page came in and ran his mouth. It appeared that Gable was going to grant him a title shot, but Page kept interrupting him to the point where Gable told him he could get in the back of the line.

Stephanie Vaquer gets her rematch in two weeks

Jackie Redmond informs Stephanie Vaquer that she will get her rematch for the Women's World Championship in two weeks. Vaquer said she will take back her title in two weeks and destroy The Judgment Day.

In the main event of the evening, The Usos took on the team of LA Knight and Solo Sikoa. The match never had a finish, as Royce Keys and OTM from NXT hit the ring and took out all four men.

Booking Grade: 7.5/10

  • Main events ending in a no contest are rarely a good decision
  • Giving Royce Keys a stable is a pretty solid idea
  • It certainly appeared that no one in the crowd knew who OTM was

Royce Keys and OTM pose among the wreckage they caused as WWE Raw went off the air.

WWE Raw quick results:

  • Stephanie Vaquer defeated Roxanne Perez
  • Rey Fenix defeated Dragon Lee to advance to the finals of the number one contender tournament for a shot at World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
  • Big Cass defeated Je'Von Evans
  • Penta defeated La Parka to advance to the finals of the number one contender tournament for a shot at World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
  • The Usos vs. LA Knight and Solo Sikoa ended in a no contest when Royce Keys and OTM interfered and took out everyone
