The Lowdown

This is a contender result, not a title change, and WWE has not posted a date for Fenix’s match with Page. The official Raw results are unambiguous about the outcome and the finish. WWE also posted an official highlight under that same result, on WWE.com and on the official WWE YouTube channel, plus an official WWE post on X announcing Fenix as the new No. 1 contender. We are not adding ring dialogue or a booking date that those official accounts do not spell out.

The Full Story

The official Raw results for Nov. 9 list the match after a confrontation involving Intercontinental Champion Ethan Page, Fenix, Gable and Cass. The heading is direct: Fenix defeated Gable and Cass in a triple-threat match to become No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Title. WWE posted an official highlight under the title Rey Fenix becomes No. 1 Contender to Intercontinental Title: Raw highlights, Nov. 9, 2026, and that same official video is on WWE’s YouTube channel. It is embedded above.

Official results give a short account of the finish rather than a full play-by-play. Cass, they say, dominated much of the match and planted Gable into the timekeeper’s area with a chokeslam. Gable answered with a German suplex on Cass and favored a previously injured neck. Fenix took advantage after Cass dropped Gable, hitting a splash on Cass before pinning Gable. That is the official version of how he became the No. 1 contender, and it is the version we are reporting.

WWE’s official X account posted the same result: “Rey Fenix is the NEW No. 1 Contender for the IC Title!!” That post is embedded at the top of this story. Page won the Intercontinental Title from Gable on the Nov. 2 episode of Raw, already covered in PCP’s Nov. 2 results. Official sources cited here do not name a date or show for Fenix’s title match.

Official results also record what happened immediately afterward: The 946 attacked Fenix, Gable and Cass, “sending a message to The Bloodline.” That thread is already on PCP in Jacob Fatu’s return as Roman Reigns challenged The 946 to WarGames. Other Nov. 9 Raw developments already on PCP include CM Punk joining Cody Rhodes on Team USA for Survivor Series and Becky Lynch’s Survivor Series title match with Liv Morgan.
