WWE RAW Results – May 25, 2026

WWE RAW Results – May 25, 2026 – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s coverage of WWE RAW on May 25, from the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Paul Heyman stood in the ring and introduced himself, welcoming everyone to Raw before the crowd could even settle. He said he was here to hype a match that didn’t need hype — the biggest rematch in wrestling history, happening Sunday. When the fans got loud, he snapped at them to shut up when he had a mic. On Sunday, Oba Femi steps into the ring to be conquered by Brock Lesnar.

Brock said he never got the chance to congratulate Oba for beating him at WrestleMania. He admitted Oba beat him so badly he said he was done, and that didn’t sit right with him. It won’t end that way. He can take an ass‑kicking — but can Oba? Brock said Oba is about to get destroyed by a retired Beast, and he will rule over him.

Paul said the good news is everyone will witness history in real time. The bad news for anyone who worships Oba is that Oba has awakened the Beast. And that means only one thing…

The lights went out as Oba Femi’s music hit and he strutted to the ring.

Oba stepped right up to Paul and said if Paul thinks he awakened the Beast, then he’d better ask himself what he awakened in him. Those F5s didn’t break him — they lit something up inside him. Oba told Paul he wasn’t going to hurt him tonight. He needs Paul alive to tell the story of what happens on Sunday, when he retires Brock Lesnar again.

Oba said he knows Paul is a sleazebag who will claim none of this is personal, but four F5s made it personal for him. He signed the contract and said this is the final chapter.

Then he leaned in and told Paul to deliver one last message: last time, he fought to beat Brock. This time, he’s fighting to kill Brock.

– We cut to a look back at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Penta vs. Je’Von Evans — Intercontinental Championship

Penta blocked the double‑jump cutter and Evans snapped him over with a headscissors. Penta answered with one of his own, but Evans cartwheeled out and landed on his feet. Penta lit him up with a chop. Evans swept the legs and covered, Penta swept him right back and covered, and they shook hands before strutting together. Evans struck first with a dropkick, then hit a slingshot headscissors that sent Penta to the floor. Evans followed with a plancha.

He rolled Penta back inside and went for a springboard, but Penta cut him out of the air with a superkick. Penta hammered him in the corner and hit the headstand hesitation kick for a count of two. He clubbed Evans across the back and set for the Penta Driver, but Evans blocked it. Evans dropkicked Penta to the floor and charged for a suicide dive — only for Penta to see it coming and slam Evans into the announce table.

Penta sent Evans into the ring post and followed with a hard chop. He slid back inside to break the count, charged around the corner, but Evans sidestepped and sent Penta crashing into the timekeeper’s area. Evans cracked him with a punch, limped around the ringside floor, then launched himself with a plancha over the barricade, wiping Penta out as they tumbled into the crowd.

Penta crawled back toward the ring, Evans grabbed at him to slow him down, but both men barely beat the count. Evans whipped Penta, Penta sent him to the apron, and Evans rocked him with a forearm. Evans sprang in with a clothesline for a close call. He chopped Penta, Penta fired right back, and Penta told him to hit him again. Evans blasted him with a flying knee and followed with a springboard cutter for only a two count.

Penta blocked the slingshot headscissors and drilled Evans with Project Ciampa. He signaled for the Destroyer, but Evans cut him off with a kick.

Penta went out to the apron, but Evans met him with a punch and hit the double‑jump cutter right onto the edge. He dragged himself into a cover, but Penta kicked out. Evans charged again, but Penta caught him off the ropes and drilled him with the Penta Driver for a count of two.

Penta climbed the turnbuckles, Evans cut him off with a shot, climbed up after him — only for Penta to knock him down. Evans sprang right back up and snapped off a Super Rana. He went for the double‑jump cutter again, but Penta crushed him with a superkick. Evans fired a flying knee, and as he tried the cutter one more time, Penta caught him mid‑rotation with a lungblower.

Penta pulled him up, hit the Destroyer, and that was enough.

Winner: Penta

After the match, Penta exchanged words with Evans and raised his hand, but Evans slapped the hand away and left the ring without looking back.

– We then got word that Logan Paul suffered a torn triceps on Saturday night.

Backstage:

Paul was in the locker room staring at the contract when Austin Theory stormed in, furious. Austin asked what they were supposed to do with the title belts now — was he supposed to hand them over? Logan was hurt, and he didn’t know what came next.

Paul told him he’d planned for this. Every contract included a clause stating The Vision defended the titles, not just Logan. That meant Austin would defend the championships alongside Bron Breakker.

Austin grabbed Paul in a violent hug. Paul told him he believed in him — he did all of this for him. Austin said he wanted to do something for Logan in return. He wanted to take out everyone who hurt him.

Paul told Austin he already knew what he had to do tonight. And who he had to do it to.

In the Arena:

Joe Hendry was in the ring, guitar in hand, ready to sing. He said nights like this remind everyone it isn’t all fun and games — Logan Paul got hurt on Saturday, and while this is entertainment, the hazards are real. Should Logan feel down? Joe said absolutely not. Music is the best medicine, and he had a song to cheer Logan up.

Before he could start, Austin Theory blindsided him from behind with a chair. Theory hammered him over and over, then started up the aisle… only to turn back, slide into the ring, and smash the chair across Joe’s head again, leaving him laid out.

Backstage:

Angelo was walking backstage when Seth stepped in front of him. Seth said he wasn’t trying to start anything — he did exactly what Tez asked, and he apologized for how things went down. With Logan out, The Vision were both the weakest and the most dangerous they’ve ever been. Look at what Theory just did to Joe. If they came together, they could end The Vision for good.

Montez walked up and asked if this was supposed to be some kind of redemption arc.

Seth told him to say it to his face.

Ford said nothing good ever happens when Seth is around.

Seth fired back that nothing good happens when he isn’t around, because they should be tag champs right now. They don’t have to be friends — they just need to work together long enough to get rid of The Vision. Only one of them main‑evented WrestleMania, and only one of them is a multi‑time champion.

Ford said he never stabbed his brother in the back because he’s his brother’s keeper. If Seth wants to prove something, they should show who’s the best.

Seth accepted the challenge.

– We were reminded that next week’s WWE Raw airs at 2:00 PM Eastern on Netflix, and Corey mentioned AAA’s big mask‑versus‑mask match this weekend.

The show cuts to a commercial break. We will be back for more WWE RAW results for May 25, 2026.

Backstage:

Je’Von was walking backstage when Penta stepped in front of him. Evans apologized, saying his reaction after the match was unprofessional. He promised he’d see Penta again — and next time, it would be for that title.

Rey joined them and asked Penta if he remembered being that age, chasing that kind of pride. Rey said holding the Intercontinental Championship meant everything.

Penta congratulated Rey on his new role in AAA and said it would be an honor to defend the title against him.

Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria

Raquel and Roxanne didn’t wait for the bell — they jumped Bayley and Lyra during the recap of last week. Bayley and Lyra fought back with Thesz Presses, and the referee called for the match to officially begin.

Lyra slammed Perez, then Bayley tagged in and hit a corner splash. Lyra returned and scored a quick two count. Perez fired a punch and Raquel tagged in. Bayley slipped in with a blind tag and cracked Raquel, then Lyra tagged back to hammer Raquel with shoulders in the corner. Bayley tagged again for more punches, Lyra followed — until Raquel bowled both over with a double crossbody. She planted Lyra face‑first and clamped on a reverse chinlock.

Raquel whipped Lyra into the corner and hit a splash, then the lawnmower elbows. Lyra reversed an Irish whip, dropkicking Raquel into the corner. Raquel hit snake eyes, then distracted the referee while Perez tried to take advantage but couldn’t. Raquel choked Lyra, Perez kicked her while the ref dealt with Bayley.

Raquel hit the corkscrew Vader Bomb and spiked Lyra again. Another corner whip and splash, then Perez tagged in for an elbow and a side Russian leg sweep for a count of two. Perez dropkicked the ribs. Lyra fought with forearms, but Perez kept her from tagging. Perez dragged her down and worked the arm. Raquel tagged in and kicked Lyra before hitting a delayed vertical suplex for a close call. She squeezed on a bear hug. Lyra countered with a wheelbarrow bulldog. Perez yanked Bayley off the apron to stop the tag. Lyra dropped down and sent Raquel over the top. Raquel dragged Lyra out, but Lyra sent her into the post.

Lyra kicked Perez away and Bayley finally tagged in. Bayley hit a suicide dive on Raquel and unloaded punches. She climbed up and hit the elbow drop for a near fall. Bayley tried the sunset flip powerbomb, but Raquel blocked it and clotheslined her. Perez tagged in. Bayley dodged Pop Rox and hit a Saito suplex, then the sunset flip powerbomb. Lyra tagged in and hit a neckbreaker. Liv put Perez’s foot on the rope, and the referee tossed Liv out.

Bayley punched Liv on the way out, but Raquel clotheslined Bayley. Lyra blasted Raquel on the floor. Perez rolled Lyra for two. Lyra hit a thrust kick. Dom said he’d handle whatever Liv was supposed to do.

Bayley tagged in and climbed up. Dom got on the apron, drawing the referee. Raquel shoved Bayley off the ropes. Perez hit Pop Rox for a near fall. Lyra and Raquel spilled to the floor. Dom got on the apron again and tossed his belt into the ring. Bayley and Perez grabbed it at the same time, tug‑of‑war style, until Perez accidentally cracked Dom with it. Bayley rolled her up and held her down for the three.

Winners: Bayley and Lyra Valkyria

We will return after a break with more results from the May 25, 2026 episode of WWE RAW.

– We got a recap of last week’s chaos between Roman and Fatu before cutting backstage to Pearce and Roman mid‑conversation.

Backstage:

Pearce told Roman flat‑out that Fatu should be fired.

Roman said he doesn’t want to go back to his old ways, but sometimes he has to remind people what his stroke really is. He claimed he didn’t know Fatu had the wild card and knew about Tribal Combat, and now he can’t back down. Roman laid out the stakes: if Fatu loses, he serves him. If Fatu wins, Pearce better have a plan, because they’re all screwed.

– From there, we shifted into the annual Memorial Day video package.

In the Arena

LA Knight made his way to the ring and told the crowd he wanted to talk to them. It had been a minute since he stood in front of them — not since WrestleMania. He said he put The Vision in his rear‑view mirror and stood beside Jimmy and Jey Uso, and that got him thinking.

Next week begins the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, and he’s putting his name in. He wins, he gets a title shot, and he’ll face Roman. But where does that leave Jimmy and Jey? Roman is the most corrupt champion walking, trying to rebuild the Bloodline, and the Usos aren’t the same men he remembers.

Jimmy Uso came out.

Jimmy said Knight needed to hear this from him. He respects Knight. They fought side by side at WrestleMania.

Knight agreed — and now Jimmy is fighting side by side with Roman.

Jimmy said he understood what Knight meant about the Bloodline. Everyone backstage is angry. He told Knight to enter the King of the Ring. If he wins, he’ll get a fair and honest shot at Roman.

Knight asked if Jimmy was being honest about who he is. Last week, Jimmy came out to attack Jacob. He’s the messenger, the third fiddle to Roman. Knight said he doesn’t want to see Jimmy become Roman’s errand boy again.

Jimmy warned him — if Jey were here, they wouldn’t be talking.

Knight said if Jey were here, it’d be two‑on‑one, and then Roman would make it three‑on‑one, just like they did with Fatu.

Jimmy said Fatu is family business. If Knight disrespects his family, they’ll make Knight their business.

Knight stopped Jimmy from leaving. He told Jimmy he’s the one he actually likes. He’s fine with Jey. Roman is the one he can’t stand. Roman always needs someone to help him win. If the family business becomes Knight’s business, that’s fine.

Backstage:

Rey and Pearce were talking. Pearce said he liked the idea of Rey vs. Penta.

Ethan Page walked in demanding to know what was going on. Pearce gave Je’Von a match tonight, now he’s talking about Rey getting a title shot. Page said he wants his rematch.

Pearce told him he has to earn it.

Rusev arrived as Page accused Pearce and Rey of conspiring against him. He said Rey was about to jump the line ahead of Rusev.

Rusev asked how Rey earned that match.

Seth Rollins vs. Montez Ford

Seth had a few words for Ford before they locked up. They tied up and hit the corner, Ford giving a clean break until Seth shoved him — and Ford shoved right back. Seth hit a shoulder tackle. Ford answered with a headlock, floated over, leapt over Seth, and hit his own shoulder tackle. They pie‑faced each other, tempers rising, and Seth took Ford down into punches. Ford fired back. Seth kicked him to the floor and followed with a suicide dive, but Ford popped up and clotheslined Seth over the top. Ford hit a suicide dive of his own.

Both men went for crossbodies at the same time and crashed. Seth hit a corner forearm, whipped Ford, hit another, but missed the next splash. Ford hit a neckbreaker for a count of two.

They spilled outside trading chops. Seth dropped Ford across the barricade and hit a knee to the back of the neck. Back inside, Seth went up, but Ford caught him on his shoulders. Seth countered with a sunset flip, Ford rolled through and kicked him in the back, then hit a splash for a near fall. They traded punches and chops. Ford hit forearms to the back, Seth kicked him and went for a Pedigree. Ford clotheslined him, missed a moonsault, then hit an enzuigiri.

Seth sent Ford to the apron, Ford hit a forearm, Seth leapt up and hit the superplex into the Falcon Arrow for a near fall. Ford countered another Pedigree with a backdrop. They traded near falls. Ford hit a superkick, Seth hit one back. Ford tried a clothesline, Seth escaped. Ford countered a Burning Hammer attempt, Seth landed on his feet and hit the Pedigree for two. Seth told Ford they were fighting for the same thing. Ford slapped him. Seth hit a buckle bomb, then another. Ford countered a third with a rana that sent Seth to the floor. Ford hit the ring‑post flip dive.

Ford went up top, Seth leapt up, Ford shoved him off, then hit the seven‑star frog splash for a near fall. Ford went to the apron, kicked Seth, climbed again, but missed the 450 when Seth moved. Seth hit Black Out and held the pin — even though his own shoulders were down.

Winner: Seth Rollins

On the stage, Austin Theory blindsided Angelo Dawkins with a chair. Officials rushed out and carefully urged Theory to leave.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria

Byron was with Bayley and Lyra after their win, asking how they felt.

Bayley said they felt great. They love winning, but they’ve won and lost before. Judgment Day has cheated before. None of that matters now. Pound for pound, inch by inch, match by match, they’ve been the best tag team in the division, and they’re not stopping.

Lyra said she doesn’t care who lost faith in them. They want the titles, they’re not going away, and they’ll keep coming until they get what they’re after.

Byron brought up the Queen of the Ring.

Lyra said she almost won it two years ago. Bayley has never been in the tournament, but she’s won everything else.

Backstage:

Ford asked Pearce about Angelo, and Pearce told him they were working on him.

Seth walked up to check if Ford was okay.

Ford said they had bigger fish to fry — his brother was out, so he needed someone.

Seth said this has to end. He has to cut the head off the snake. He wants Bron as soon as Pearce can get him.

The show heads to a commercial break. More WWE RAW results from May 25, 2026 are coming up next.

Backstage:

Cathy caught up with Becky Lynch and brought up the news about Sol getting banged up on Saturday.

Becky didn’t show an ounce of sympathy. She said there are people who take a shot to the face and rise to the top, and there are people who take the same shot and expose that they’re not ready for this level.

Folks might enjoy Sol flipping around the ring, but the reality is she hasn’t put a single win on the board. Becky said chasing greatness is one thing — standing across from it is something entirely different.

Rey Mysterio vs. Rusev

Rey shoved Rusev to start, and they tied up before Rusev muscled him straight to the canvas. Rey slipped behind with a waist lock and cracked him between the shoulders, then darted away and swung through the ropes to make Rusev spill to the floor. Rey slapped him across the face for good measure, then bailed out of the ring with Rusev charging after him. Rey snapped him into the ropes with a headscissors, but when he went to follow with the 619, Rusev cut him down with a back elbow.

Rusev hurled Rey with a pair of overhead gutwrench throws and clubbed him across the back. Rey slipped off Rusev’s shoulders and blasted him with a sliding sunset bomb into the barricade. Rey tried to whip around the apron for another headscissors, but Rusev caught him mid‑air and swung him spine‑first into the barricade.

Rusev launched Rey into the steps and dragged him back inside for a near fall. He stomped the leg, kicked Rey in the spine, and hung him in the Tree of Woe. Rusev clawed at the mask before charging, but Rey pulled himself up and Rusev slammed shoulder‑first into the turnbuckles. Rusev yanked Rey down from the ropes and crushed him with a splash after an Irish whip, then kicked him in the back and choked him on the ropes.

Rey fought back with kicks and punches, but Rusev whipped him chest‑first into the corner. Rusev placed Rey on the top rope and rocked him with a right hand, then climbed up for a superplex, but Rey blocked it.

Rey knocked Rusev off the ropes and came back in with a seated senton, then whipped him over with a headscissors. He buried shoulders into Rusev in the corner and followed with punches, but Rusev tried to muscle him into a powerbomb. Rey slipped out into a sunset flip, and when Rusev tried to crush him on the landing, Rey rolled clear. Rey hit another seated senton and followed with a springboard quebrada for a close call. He cracked Rusev with an uppercut, got scooped up, and turned it into a bulldog.

Rusev caught Rey on the next pass and planted him with a uranage, then drilled him with the jumping thrust kick for a near fall. He stomped Rey’s back and tried to clamp on the Accolade, but Rey wriggled free and kicked him in the gut with a Tiger Feint Kick. Rusev slumped into the ropes, caught Rey on the 619 attempt, and tried to lock in the Accolade again — but Rey rolled him up tight and held him down for the three.

Winner: Rey Mysterio

Rusev snapped after the bell and stomped Rey down.

Dragon Lee sprinted out and smashed Rusev with a shoulder. Page charged in and missed a splash, letting Lee whip him into Rusev with a headscissors. Lee kicked Page, shoved Rusev into the ropes, then launched himself over the top with a flip dive onto Page. Rey followed by drilling Rusev with the 619 and Lee finished it with Operation Dragon.

Backstage:

Pearce stepped in front of Austin Theory and told him he’d done more than enough for one night — he was finished.

Theory fired back that he’s the champion, and asked if Pearce hadn’t seen what already happened to Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker.

Paul Heyman cut in and said Austin needed to be disciplined, and he would handle it personally.

Down the hall, Otis, Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri were standing together as Theory walked past, giving Maxxine a long look on his way by.

Otis sniffed the air and said it smelled like trouble.

Maxxine told them to go on ahead — she’d catch up.

The show goes to a commercial break. Results from the May 25, 2026 episode of WWE RAW will continue shortly.

In the Arena:

Adam Pearce was already in the ring, surrounded by the usual contract‑signing battlefield — table, chairs, microphones, the whole setup laid out.

Jacob Fatu made his entrance and stepped straight in without hesitation.

Pearce told him to put his name on the contract so they could at least make things halfway official. Fatu didn’t waste a second — he signed it.

Fatu grabbed Roman’s “head of the table” chair and hurled it at security. He launched the other chair right after it, then flipped the table and sent that flying too. One by one, he wiped out every piece of furniture in sight like he was winning the Office Depot Rumble.

Roman’s music hit as more security poured into the ring.

Roman signed the contract, locking the match in.

They stood on opposite sides of the ring with what looked like twenty security guards squeezed between them, all acting like they were trying to keep a Jurassic World raptor from breaking loose.

Roman told them all to clear out.

Pearce asked if Roman really wanted security to stop doing their jobs.

Roman said Fatu put his name on the contract, which means he can’t lay a hand on Roman until they get to Italy. Roman said that since they’re here, he wants what he always wants — acknowledgment. He asked Fatu if he noticed how easy that was. That’s all he had to do at Backlash. Roman beat him, and if Fatu had just acknowledged him, they could’ve moved on to the next mission.

Fatu said Roman wants him to bow his head like everybody else in the building? Not happening. He said he isn’t built like the rest. Fatu told Roman he’s the reason their entire family — the whole Bloodline — lives the way they do. Roman is the one who put them on top of the mountain. Roman is the one who dragged the family into the promised land.

Fatu told Roman that he could only carry the family so far. Now it’s time for a new path, a new direction, a new destination. Roman keeps preaching about acknowledgment and the Bloodline code, but Fatu asked if Roman actually lived by that code at Backlash — or bent every rule he could to escape with the win. Tribal Combat means anything goes, and Fatu promised he’s going to drag Roman from one end of the arena to the other. When he’s done, everyone around them is going to deal with the fallout.

Roman said he knows all about consequences. If Fatu wins, he becomes the head of the table — Roman follows, Fatu leads. But if Fatu can’t “dog walk” him like he claims, then Roman will be the one walking him like a dog. Roman said he’ll break him in, make him serve, make him learn, and make him love his Tribal Chief.

Fatu shrugged it off and said that sounds like a win either way. If Roman somehow drags him around, at least he still has a job. But when he drags Roman around, everyone — especially Roman — will finally learn to acknowledge him.

They do the Tribal Combat hand shake and head touching as we go to credits.

–– Here is what’s in store for tonight’s show ––

• Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu’s contract signing segment
• Oba Femi kicks off the show
• Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. Judgment Day
• WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Penta vs. Je’Von Evans.

WWE RAW Preview – May 25, 2026

Penta defends the Intercontinental Championship again tonight after beating Ethan Page at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. He now faces Je’Von Evans. The two men worked well together earlier this month, and they even beat Page and Rusev in a tag match on the May 4 episode of Raw. Because of that win, both men enter tonight with history and respect, but the title raises the stakes.

Oba Femi tried to issue another Open Challenge last Monday. However, Brock Lesnar returned and stopped it before it began. Lesnar attacked Femi with three F5s, and he did it out of frustration after losing to Femi at WrestleMania 42 Night Two. As a result, Femi appears in the opening moments of tonight’s show, and he plans to speak about what happened.

Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez of Judgment Day team up to face Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Perez and Rodriguez failed to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles last Monday. After the match, they attacked Paige and Brie Bella with help from Liv Morgan. Because of that attack, Bayley and Valkyria ran out to protect Paige and Brie. Now the two sides meet in a tag match with clear tension.

Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu will also appear tonight. They plan to make their World Heavyweight Championship Tribal Combat Match official for WWE Clash in Italy this Sunday. They will sign the contract on the show, and the moment should set the tone for their match.
