Raw Results May 25 2026: Full Segment-By-Segment Breakdown
Paul Heyman Opens Raw — Oba Femi Accepts Brock Lesnar’s Challenge
Heyman introduced himself and began hyping “the biggest rematch in all of professional wrestling” before the Columbus crowd drowned him out with “Oba” chants. Heyman snapped: “When I have a microphone in my hands, you have to shut the hell up.” A pre-recorded video from Brock Lesnar then aired. Lesnar congratulated Femi on beating him at WrestleMania but said the win didn’t sit right with him. Lesnar warned: “Can Oba take an ass-kicking? He’s about to find out. A humbled Beast is about to rule over him.”
Femi interrupted and told Heyman that four F5s at SNME have made this personal. Femi signed the Clash in Italy contract and delivered the promo of the night: “Last time, I was fighting to beat him. This time, I’m fighting to kill him.” The Lesnar-Femi rematch at Clash in Italy is now fully official — both men have signed.
Penta (c) def. Je’Von Evans — Intercontinental Championship Retained
Penta survived another title defence in a fast-paced match against the high-flying Evans. Evans connected with a Busaiku Knee and attempted the OG Cutter, but Penta countered into a backstabber. Penta then hit the Mexican Destroyer for the pinfall. Post-match, backstage segments set up a three-way dynamic: Evans confronted Penta and Rey Mysterio, with Mysterio earning a potential IC title shot later in the night via a match against Rusev. The Intercontinental Championship picture heading into the European tour now involves Penta, Rusev, Evans, and Mysterio.
Joe Hendry International Segment — Austin Theory Attacks
Hendry performed his latest concert from an undisclosed international location via satellite. Before he could finish, Austin Theory attacked him from behind — confirming that The Vision’s war with Hendry will continue on the European tour. Hendry’s popularity continues to grow, but Theory’s ambush sends a message that The Vision will not let him build momentum unchecked.
Bayley & Lyra Valkyria def. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez
Bayley and Lyra picked up a crucial victory over Judgment Day. The match was competitive throughout, with Rodriguez using her power advantage to neutralise Lyra’s speed. Bayley got the hot tag and hit a series of Bayley-to-Bellys before pinning Perez. The victory positions Bayley and Lyra as the next credible challengers for the Women’s Tag Team Championship currently held by Scream Mode (Paige and Brie Bella). A title match on the European tour or at a future PLE is now firmly on the table.
Becky Lynch Protests Clash In Italy Title Defence
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch was interviewed backstage by Jackie Redmond. Lynch was furious about being forced to defend her title against Sol Ruca at Clash in Italy, calling it “unfair” after she deliberately got herself disqualified at SNME to avoid putting the championship on the line. Lynch blamed SmackDown GM Nick Aldis for overstepping his authority and warned Ruca: “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into in Italy.” The segment established Lynch as a heel champion heading into Turin — willing to cheat, willing to dodge, and furious about being held accountable.
Seth Rollins def. Montez Ford — Street Profits Fracture?
The most consequential match of the night for Raw’s tag team landscape. Rollins pleaded with Ford in the ring, saying they could work together against The Vision. Ford slapped Rollins and the match was on. Rollins set up the Buckle Bomb, hitting it once, then going for a second — Ford countered with a hurricanrana that sent Rollins to the floor, then hit an over-the-post senton.
The finish came when Ford missed a 450 Splash, leaving himself open to Rollins’ Stomp for the pinfall. After the match, Angelo Dawkins appeared on the ramp only for Austin Theory to attack him with a steel chair, hitting a makeshift concerto on the ramp steel. Rollins stood over the fallen Ford — a man who was supposed to be his ally now beaten at his hands. This may be the moment that finally splits Ford from the Profits and launches him as a singles star.
Rusev def. Rey Mysterio — Earns IC Title Shot At Clash In Italy
The main event of the in-ring action. Mysterio and Rusev competed for the right to challenge Penta for the Intercontinental Championship at Clash in Italy. Mysterio brought his full lucha arsenal but Rusev’s power proved decisive — the Bulgarian Brute won by pinfall to earn the IC title shot in Turin. The Intercontinental Championship match at Clash in Italy is now confirmed: Penta (c) vs Rusev.
Roman Reigns & Jacob Fatu — Tribal Combat Contract Signing
The closing segment delivered exactly the chaos that contract signings always promise. Reigns entered first, flanked by The Usos. Fatu entered alone — walking past Jimmy and Jey without looking at them. Reigns delivered a promo about respect, legacy, and the Original Tribal Chief’s duty to the family.
Fatu’s response was short: “I don’t want your respect. I want your title.” Both men signed the contract. As soon as the pens hit the paper, Fatu flipped the table and attacked Reigns. The Usos hesitated — caught between their loyalty to Roman and their respect for Fatu. Jimmy eventually stepped in to separate them, but Jey superkicked Fatu from behind. Fatu no-sold the superkick, stared at Jey, and exited the ring silently. The segment ended with Reigns, Jimmy, and Jey standing in the ring while Fatu walked up the ramp alone — the same image that closed SmackDown three weeks ago. The message is clear: Fatu goes to Turin alone, against the world, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
