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

–– 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.
