WWE Raw Match Card May 18 2026: Confirmed Matches And Segments

Paige & Brie Bella (c) vs Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez — WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship

The headline match of tonight’s Raw. Paige and Brie Bella defend the Women’s Tag Team Championship they won at WrestleMania 42 against Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Perez and Rodriguez have been dominant as a tag unit on Raw, and Perez’s hometown connections to the Judgment Day make this a faction-powered challenge. Paige has looked sharp since her return, but the Judgment Day’s numbers advantage — with Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan likely at ringside — is always a factor.

Oba Femi Open Challenge — Week 4

The Ruler’s weekly open challenge continues from Greensboro. Femi has squashed Grayson Waller (Week 1), Otis (Week 2), and Los Garza (Week 3) in consecutive weeks since WrestleMania 42 and his star-making victory over Brock Lesnar. The question every week is whether someone credible enough steps up to give Femi a genuine challenge — or whether the squash streak continues to build toward a bigger opponent down the line.

AJ Lee vs Bayley — Women’s Intercontinental Championship Expected

IWNerd confirms that AJ Lee defends the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Bayley on tonight’s Raw. Lee recaptured the title from Becky Lynch on Raw May 11 after Lynch had won it at WrestleMania. Bayley has been rebuilding on Raw after a stretch of tag team losses and is looking for a signature singles victory. Becky Lynch’s shadow looms over the division — any interference could set up a triple threat or rematch at SNME or Clash in Italy.

Key Storylines To Watch On WWE Raw Tonight

Roman Reigns And Jacob Fatu — Fatu’s Status After Acknowledgment Ceremony Chaos

The biggest ongoing storyline on Raw. On May 11, Reigns held an Acknowledgment Ceremony demanding Fatu acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief after Backlash. Fatu responded by annihilating Reigns AND both Usos, leaving all three men laid out. Fatu has refused to acknowledge Reigns after losing at Backlash, and his brother Zilla Fatu appeared in the front row at the PLE. Whether Fatu is suspended, fined, or simply continues his war with the entire Bloodline will be addressed tonight.

Seth Rollins And Bron Breakker — SNME Build

Rollins and Breakker’s rivalry continues heading into a potential confrontation at Saturday Night’s Main Event. On Raw May 11, Rollins interfered in the Street Profits vs Vision six-man tag, spearing Breakker — but Breakker accidentally speared Angelo Dawkins in the chaos. The Street Profits now have a pinfall victory over The Vision and challenge for the World Tag Team Championship at SNME. Rollins’ involvement in the tag title picture creates a tangled web of alliances and grudges heading into Fort Wayne.

CM Punk’s Direction

Punk has been without a clear rival since losing the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. On Raw May 11, Punk appeared but no specific feud was established. With SNME and Clash in Italy both approaching, Punk needs a match — the Undisputed WWE Championship picture with Cody Rhodes remains the long-term direction, but Punk could face a different opponent at SNME to keep him active.

Sol Ruca’s Rise

Ruca lost a competitive match to IYO SKY on Raw May 11 but earned SKY’s respect in a post-match moment. She officially signed her Raw contract on Raw May 4 and has been positioned as a future Women’s World Championship contender. Her trajectory from NXT call-up to featured Raw performer has been one of the most successful debuts of the post-WrestleMania era.

Dominik Mysterio — AAA Mega Champion On Raw

Dominik successfully defended the AAA Mega Championship against Original El Grande Americano on Raw May 11 — bringing an interbrand championship to Monday Night Raw. The lucha storyline involving Los Americanos continues to build toward the AAA Mask vs Mask match on May 30.

What Happened On Last Week’s Raw (May 11 2026)

For fans catching up on the Backlash fallout Raw:

Jacob Fatu destroyed Roman Reigns and both Usos during an Acknowledgment Ceremony. IYO SKY defeated Sol Ruca in a competitive match — the two shared a post-match moment of respect. Asuka bid farewell to SKY backstage in an emotional segment. The Street Profits and Joe Hendry defeated The Vision in a six-man tag after Seth Rollins interfered and speared Bron Breakker. Oba Femi squashed Los Garza in Week 3 of the open challenge. Dominik Mysterio retained the AAA Mega Championship against Original El Grande Americano. AJ Lee recaptured the Women’s IC Championship from Becky Lynch.
