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

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results 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. 

Michael Cole then informs the audience at home that Logan Paul tore his tricep at Saturday Night's Main Event and will be out for a number of months. We then head backstage, where Austin Theory looks to land over his World Tag Team Championship belt to Paul Heyman but Heyman stops Theory and tells him that Bron Breakker will hold the World Tag Team Championship with him from now on. Theory hugs Heyman, but Heyman explains that he believes in Theory. Theory then says every single person involved in hurting Paul will pay, and Heyman tells Theory that he knows what he has to do tonight and who he has to do it to.

Back in the ring, Joe Hendry says fans across the world chant "we believe" and says Paul shouldn't feel down about being injured. He performs a song apologizing to Paul for everything he said and sings that he knows Paul can hear him from his hospital bed. He sings that the world has a message: we're sorry that he's hurting, but we don't want him back at all and calls for Paul to be fired. Theory sneaks up behind Hendry and cracks a chair across Hendry's spine repeatedly, prompting officials to run out and check on Hendry.

We then head backstage, where Seth Rollins tells Angelo Dawkins that he knows what it's like to be screwed over by The Vision. He says The Vision is the weakest that it's been, but also the most dangerous as is evident in what Theory just did. He says The Vision needs to be ended for good, but Montez Ford joins the pair and asks if they're still doing the Rollins redemption story. He says nothing good happens when Rollins is around, but Rollins says nothing good happens when he isn't around or The Street Profits would be the new World Tag Team Champions. He says that himself and The Street Profits don't have to be friends, but at least be able to work together to take out The Vision. Rollins and Ford then agree to square off against one another. 

We then head elsewhere backstage, where Je'Von Evans apologizes to Penta for what happened between them earlier. He tells Penta that he'll see him in the ring for the Intercontinental Championship again before Rey Mysterio approaches Penta and gives him some encouraging words. 

Judgment Day then makes their way to the ring. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria follow. 

Perez and Rodriguez blindside Bayley and Valkyria from behind. Bayley and Valkyria respond by raining down right hands on Perez and Rodriguez. The bell rings and Valkyria pins Perez. Perez kicks out, but Rodriguez and Bayley tag in. Bayley and Valkyria double team on Rodriguez, and Bayley fires off a shoulder on Rodriguez's midsection.

Valkyria tags in and fires off shoulders of her own on Rodriguez's midsection. She fires off stomps on her and tags in Bayley, but Rodriguez levels Bayley and Valkyria with a double crossbody and fires off back elbows on Valkyria in the corner of the ring.

Rodriguez distracts the referee as Perez looks to trip up Valkyria. Valkyria sees Perez coming, but Rodriguez jams her knee into Valkyria's throat. Perez lands a stomp on Valkyria's arm through the middle rope, allowing Rodriguez to deliver a Corkscrew Elbow to Valkyria.

During the commercial break, Perez delivers a Russian Leg Sweep to Valkyria and pins her. Valkyria kicks out, but Perez delivers a hair whip to her and begins to target Valkyria's arm. Rodriguez tags back in and lands a boot on Valkyria's arm as Perez holds it in place, then cinches in a Bear Hug on her. Valkyria fires off back elbows on Rodriguez to escape.

Valkyria low bridges Rodriguez out of the ring back from the break, then sends Rodriguez crashing into the ring post face first on the outside. Bayley tags in and levels Rodriguez with a suicide dive on her, then sends her crashing into the mat and goes for a pin. Rodriguez kicks out and levels Bayley with a clothesline, but Perez tags back in and Bayley catches her with a Sunset Flip into the corner.

Valkyria tags in and lands a Blockbuster-Fallaway Slam to Perez. Valkyria pins Perez, but Morgan places Perez's foot on the bottom rope to break the fall. The referee catches Morgan and ejects her from ringside, and Bayley pulls Morgan off the ring apron. Rodriguez then runs over Bayley with a big boot.

Inside the ring, Valkyria levels Perez with a dropkick. Morgan tells Dominik something as she heads to the back as Dominik pats his pocket as if looking for an object.

Bayley tags in, but Dominik distracts the referee. This opens the door for Rodriguez to push Bayley off the top rope and Perez to land a Pop Rox on Bayley. Perez then pins Bayley, but Valkyria breaks the fall and Rodriguez looks to send Valkyria crashing out of the ring. Valkyria counters into a hurricanrana.

Dominik tosses his AAA Mega Championship belt in the ring aiming for Perez, but Bayley grabs it at the same time as Perez. The two women wrestle over the AAA Mega Championship belt, but Perez accidentally hits Dominik with it when Bayley releases it. Bayley then takes advantage and rolls up Perez for the win.

Winners: Bayley and Lyra Valkyria

We then head backstage, where Roman Reigns explains his obligation to accepting Jacob Fatu's challenge for a World Heavyweight Championship Tribal Combat match to Adam Pearce and emphasizes that their contract better stipulate that Fatu will have to do as he says should he lose at Clash in Italy.  

Back at ringside, LA Knight makes his way out. 

Knight says he wants to talk to the fans, then says it's been a minute since WrestleMania 42 when he last stood in the ring. He takes a moment to thank those who have served on Memorial Day in the United States and says while The Vision is in his rearview mirror, the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments will be returning next week. He then addresses Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, saying that they've been different since hanging around Roman Reigns.

Jimmy's music hits and he makes his way out. He reminds Knight that he fought side by side with him at WrestleMania 42, but Knight says Jimmy is now fighting side by side with Reigns. Jimmy says he gets why Knight has issues with The Bloodline as does the rest of the locker room, but says The Bloodline did what they have to do. He says Knight will have a fair shot at Reigns if he wins the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament, but Knight asks Jimmy if he's being honest by himself about things being fair. He says Jimmy comes to the ring with Jey having a chair in his hand, then says Jimmy is coming to the ring as a messenger and the third fiddle to Reigns. He says Jimmy needs to take a lesson from the past.

Jimmy says he's had enough of Knight's talk and says he's lucky Jey isn't in the ring because there would be no more talking. Knight says if Jey was in Columbus, Jey and Jimmy would beat him down before Reigns joined in, but Jimmy warns Knight against talking bad about Reigns unless he wants the Anoa'i family to become his business.

Knight says he has no problem with The Usos, but Reigns himself. He says he doesn't want to ruin their friendship, but if the Anoa'i family becomes his business, then so be it.

We then head backstage, where new AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio and Adam Pearce bond over being general managers. Page storms in and expresses his anger with Rey getting an Intercontinental Championship match ahead of him, but Rusev joins the pair and Page catches him up. Rey agrees to earn his Intercontinental Championship match against Page and Rusev in a Triple Threat Match, and Pearce makes it official for tonight. 

Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring. Montez Ford follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Rollins runs over Ford with a shoulder tackle, but Ford responds with a shoulder tackle of his own to Rollins. Rollins and Ford shove one another's faces, but Ford rains down right hands on Rollins. Rollins responds by sending Ford crashing out of the ring and flying through the middle rope to take him out with a suicide dive.

Ford sends Rollins crashing out the other side of the ring and flies through the middle rope to take him out, but Rollins whips Ford into the corner of the ring during the commercial break spine first and drapes him across the barricade midsection first. He lands a Curb Stomp on him off the announce desk and dumps him back inside the ring.

Ford gets Rollins up on his shoulders, but Rollins escapes and sends Ford crashing into the mat with a Pedigree. He goes for a pin, but Ford kicks out and Rollins connects with a pair of Buckle Bombs on him. Ford then ascends up the ropes and lands a Frog Splash on Rollins before he goes for a pin.

Rollins kicks out, but Ford looks to deliver a 450 Splash to him. Rollins moves out of the way and delivers a Curb Stomp to Ford for the win.

Winner: Seth Rollins

After the match, Angelo Dawkins and Austin Theory emerge from the entrance tunnel. Theory repeatedly hits Dawkins with a chair, and officials run out to check on Dawkins and escort Theory to the back as Ford watches from the ring.

We then head backstage to a conversation between Rollins and Ford, where Ford says he needs someone with Dawkins out and that person is Rollins. Rollins tells Pearce that The Vision needs to end and he has to cut off the head of the snake, then says he wants Bron Breakker as soon as Pearce can give Breakker to him in the ring. 

We then head elsewhere backstage, where Becky Lynch sends a message to Sol Ruca as Jackie Redmond stands by. 

Back at ringside, Rey Mysterio makes his way out. Rusev follows. 

The bell rings and Rey shoves Rusev. The two men lock up, but Rusev sends Rey crashing into the mat with another shove. Rey lands an open palm strike on Rusev's spine, but Rusev chases Rey around the ring. Rey manages to send Rusev crashing out of the ring in the process, but Rusev gets back inside and Rey rocks him with a right hand. He sends Rusev crashing into the ropes, but Rusev catches Rey with a back elbow and a pair of suplexes. The action then spills out of the ring and Rey looks to fly off the ring apron with a hurricanrana, but Rusev catches him and sends him crashing into one of the barricades shoulder first.

Back from the break, Ethan Page has taken a seat at the commentary desk as Rey and Rusev teeter on the ropes. Rey fights off Rusev and delivers a flying senton to him, then follows it up with a hurricanrana and rains down right hands on him in the corner.

Rey looks to roll up Rusev, but Rusev blocks it and Rey catches him with a springboard moonsault. Rey then lands a Bulldog on Rusev and flies off the ropes, but Rusev catches Rey and sends him crashing into the mat. He looks to lock in The Accolade on Rey, but Rey avoids it and sends Rusev crashing into the ropes with a drop toe hold. He looks to dial it up for a 619, but Rusev catches Rey's feet and looks to lock in The Accolade on him once again. Rey counters into a roll up for the win.

Winner (and new Number One Contender): Rey Mysterio

After the match, Rusev blindsides Rey from behind and fires off stomps on him. Dragon Lee's music hits and he runs out to the ring. He ascends to the top rope, but Page looks to go after him. Lee sends Page crashing into Rusev with a hurricanrana and lands a suplex on him, then delivers a superkick to him and a boot to Rusev to send him crashing into the ropes. Lee flies over the top rope to level Page, and Rey dials it up for a 619 on Rusev. Lee follows it up with Operation Dragon to Rusev.

We then head backstage, where Austin Theory argues with Adam Pearce as Alpha Academy stands by. When Otis comments on Theory being bad news, Maxxine Dupri (who has previously been spotted backstage talking to Theory) tells Otis that Theory has had a rough night and invites him to cut him some slack before heading off. 

Jacob Fatu then makes his way to the ring, with Adam Pearce is already waiting inside. 

Fatu signs the contract Pearce has in hand and throws the office chairs and table inside the ring out of it in the direction of the security guards at the bottom of the entrance ramp. Security gets in Fatu's face, but Fatu shoves one of them.

Reigns then makes his way out and signs the contract. He stares down Fatu as security inserts themselves between them.

Reigns demands that security leave the ring, explaining Fatu agreed not to touch him until Clash in Italy by signing the contract. Security and Pearce do so, and Reigns tells Columbus to acknowledge him. He says all Fatu had to do was acknowledge him like the fans did as per the stipulation of their World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE Backlash in order for them to move onto the next mission.

Fatu says he's not like everyone else, then says Reigns is the reason that their family is on top of the mountain and says he took their family to the promise land. He says Reigns could only take their family so far and says it's time for a chance, then asks if Reigns lived by the code of The Bloodline at Backlash or if it bent the rules to beat him. He says Reigns had to do what he did using any means necessarily, but anything goes in a Tribal Combat match and says everyone will have consequences when he's done with Reigns at Clash in Italy.

Reigns say he's a man of his word, then says Fatu can become the leader if he can dethrone him as World Heavyweight Champion at Clash in Italy. He says if Fatu can't beat him, though, he will serve him, learn from him, and love him in time. Fatu says Reigns will have to learn how to acknowledge him if he wins at Clash in Italy, then extends his hand to Reigns. Reigns shakes it, and the pair touch foreheads as they agree to the terms of their Clash in Italy match and the show goes off the air.
