Cruz Montana has officially arrived on WWE’s main roster, and he made sure Roman Reigns won’t forget his debut anytime soon. The NXT star made a surprise appearance during the WWE RAW episode on November 2, 2026 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, revealing himself as a masked attacker before helping 946 destroy The Bloodline.
The chaos began during Solo Sikoa’s singles match against Royce Keys. Both men went back and forth in a physical contest, with Sikoa nearly putting Keys away after connecting with an Uso Splash. However, things fell apart when Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and Carmelo Hayes appeared at ringside.
Their interference forced the referee to call for the bell, giving Sikoa the disqualification victory. That didn’t stop 946 from continuing its attack, which brought Roman Reigns and The Usos down to the ring to even the odds.
A massive brawl broke out between both factions, with Reigns immediately going after Keys. The OTC connected with a Superman Punch that sent Keys to the floor before delivering another one. Reigns then prepared to finish him off with a Spear, but that’s when everything changed.
A mysterious masked man suddenly appeared and threw a steel chair at Reigns, stopping him in his tracks. The attacker followed up with a clothesline before removing his mask to reveal himself as Cruz Montana.
Montana wasted no time going after Reigns, unloading on the WWE World Heavyweight Champion as 946 continued its assault on The Bloodline. By the time everything was over, Reigns and his family had been completely overwhelmed.
The surprise appearance marked Montana’s arrival on WWE’s main roster, immediately putting him in the middle of one of RAW’s biggest faction rivalries. Rather than getting a traditional introduction, Montana made his presence known by attacking one of WWE’s biggest stars.
With Montana now involved in 946’s war against The Bloodline, Roman Reigns has another problem to deal with heading into Crown Jewel. The attack also raises questions about what WWE has planned for Montana after such a major introduction.
