WWE Raw Backstage Update: Superstar Pulled From Tonight’s Card
WWE has removed Women’s World Champion Naomi from tonight’s Raw in Québec City. The company says Naomi is not medically cleared for her scheduled title match with IYO SKY. No additional details were provided, and WWE has not announced a replacement bout as of press time.
Raw airs live from Centre Videotron with the following still advertised:
- Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri
- Sami Zayn vs. Rusev
- Dominik Mysterio & El Grande Americano vs. AJ Styles & Dragon Lee
- CM Punk opens the show
We’ll update if WWE clarifies whether SKY will compete in a different match or if an in-ring segment addresses the change.
BREAKING NEWS: Naomi is not medically cleared to compete and therefore her scheduled match against Iyo Sky will not take place tonight on Monday Night Raw.

This is a notable pivot for Raw’s women’s division. Pulling the champion same-day usually means creative is rewriting on the fly. Keep an eye on how WWE handles IYO SKY—whether she cuts a promo, faces a standby opponent, or they angle toward a Clash in Paris-adjacent story. If SKY gets mic time in Québec, that’s a signal they’re protecting her momentum while keeping Naomi’s situation close to the vest.
