WWE Raw Results 5/25 - Intercontinental Title Up For Grabs, Oba Femi Appears & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on May 25, 2026, coming to you live from the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio!

Coming off his successful defense against Ethan Page at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event this past Saturday, Penta will be putting the Intercontinental Championship on the line once again tonight as he defends against Je'Von Evans. Penta and Evans have proved to be allies over the last few weeks, emerging victorious against Page and Rusev in tag team competition on the May 4 episode of "Raw".

Oba Femi looked to issue another Oba Femi Open Challenge during last Monday's episode of "Raw", but that never ultimately came to fruition when Brock Lesnar returned and blindsided Femi with four F5s out of frustration for losing to him at Night Two of WWE WrestleMania 42. Following such, Femi will be making an appearance in the opening moments of tonight's show with something on his mind to share.

Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez of Judgment Day will be joining forces with one another to take on Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. After Perez and Rodriguez were unsuccessful in challenging Paige and Brie Bella for their Women's Tag Team Championship last Monday, the two women and their stablemate Women's World Champion Liv Morgan blindsided Paige and Brie with an attack which prompted Bayley and Lyra Valkyria to come to their aid.

Additionally, titleholder Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu are set to make their World Heavyweight Championship Tribal Combat Match at WWE Clash in Italy this coming Sunday official when they put pen-to-paper with a contract signing.

We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Paul Heyman is waiting in the ring.

Heyman introduces himself and welcomes fans to "Raw", then says he's in the ring to hype up a dream match in all of professional wrestling and not just in WWE when Oba Femi faces Brock Lesnar at Clash in Italy.

We then head over to a video from Lesnar, where he mockingly congratulates Femi for beating him at WrestleMania 42. He says things won't end that way and questions if Femi can take a beating, then says a retired "Beast" will humble Femi and he will rule over him.

Back in the ring, Heyman says the good news is that everyone watching will have a chance to see history play out in real time. He says the bad news is that Femi has awakened "The Beast" .

Femi's music hits and he makes his way out. He stares down Heyman in the corner as the fans chant for him, then questions what Lesnar has awoken in him if Heyman says that if he's awoken "The Beast". He says as Heyman tells Lesnar what happened tonight, he'll fast forward to retiring Lesnar for a second time. He says he knows Heyman will say it's just business and not personal, but four F5s is personal to him and pulls out the contract for his Clash in Italy match against Lesnar.

Femi signs the contract and tells Heyman to let Lesnar know that last time he was fighting to beat him but this time he's fighting to kill.

Penta then makes his way to the ring. Je'Von Evans follows. 

The bell rings and the two men bump hands with one another as a show of respect. Evans sets up for the OG Cutter on Penta, but Penta sees him coming and looks to land a hurricanrana on Evans. Evans lands on his feet, and the two men come to a standstill before both hitting Penta's signature walk.

Evans flies out of the ring over the top rope to level Penta and dumps him back inside, then looks to fly off the top rope. Penta catches Evans with a superkick and lands a modified Bronco Buster on him, then goes for a pin but Evans kicks out. Evans sends Penta crashing back out of the ring with a flipping kick and looks to land a suicide dive on Penta, but Penta sees him coming and sends Evans crashing into the announce desk spine first.

Back from the break, Penta pins Evans. Evans kicks out, but Penta lands an open palm strike on Evans to knock him over and Evans catches him with an OG Cutter. He goes for a pin, but Penta kicks out.

Penta connects with a sit-out powerbomb on Evans, but Evans responds with an OG Cutter to Penta off the turnbuckles and onto the ring apron. He dumps Penta back in the ring and goes for a pin, but Penta kicks out and the two men teeter on the top rope.

Evans connects with a hurricanrana on Penta and sets up for an OG Cutter, but Penta catches Evans with a superkick. Evans responds with a running knee to Penta and sets up for another OG Cutter. Penta sees Evans coming and delivers a Mexican Destroyer to Evans for the win.

Winner (and still): Penta

After the match, Penta looks to raise Evans' hand. Evans pulls it away and heads to the back.
