Welcome to another edition of WWE Recap Report — a breakdown of the biggest takeaways of the week from WWE programming for those who may have missed out.
Whether you need to catch up on a show, had too busy of a week to stay on top of the breaking news or just skipped out on WWE as a whole, I’ve got you covered.
Obviously, not every single thing will be recapped here in detail. But this is your TL;DR of the week to be caught up to speed before the next Monday Night Raw so you’re not left in the dark.
With that being said, here is a quick rundown of this week in WWE.
MONDAY NIGHT RAW

- King Corbin and Sami Zayn defeated Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio by pinfall to qualify for the Elimination Chamber #1 Contender’s match.
- Big E’s match with Shinsuke Nakamura ended in a disqualification as Apollo Crews interfered, as he still wants another shot at the Intercontinental Championship.
