Preview & Predictions for WWE RAW:
On tap for tonight's episode, Akira Tozawa gets his wish for a one-on-one match with Rusev, who will absolutely destroy him just like he did after he had beaten Otis.
The World Tag Team Championship titles will be on the line in a Triple Threat match as The New Day face both The Creed Brothers of American Made and The War Raiders, who they defeated at WrestleMania 41 to win the titles. More than likely, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods will find a way to retain these titles, possibly by pinning Julius or Brutus Creed since they've already beaten Erik and Ivar.
There will also be two more Triple Threat matches to determine two of the Raw Superstars who will be competing in this year's Men's Money in the Bank ladder match. Considering the Worlds Collide event is already scheduled to have Chad Gable compete against El Hijo del Vikingo, he can't feasibly win that match. Either Penta or Dragon Lee has to instead. My guess goes to Penta. The other match has Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor, and all three of them are more than viable candidates, making that much harder to predict. On a whim, I'll say it's Seth Rollins, but there's a part of me leaning more toward Sami Zayn. It all depends on if there is interference.
Here are your results for WWE Monday Night Raw May 26, 2025:
- The show opened with a promo from Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins flanked by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. TL;DW, it's just more of the "I'm the only man who can save WWE" stuff while touting how great Breakker is for the future and how destructive Reed is.
- Men's Money in the Bank Triple Threat Qualifying Match: Penta defeated Chad Gable and Dragon Lee by pinfall.
- Backstage at The Judgment Day's clubhouse, Roxanne Perez hands Dominik Mysterio a giant plate of chicken nuggets when Liv Morgan returns. There's some tension as Morgan says Raquel Rodriguez has been filling her in on everything that's been going on and she's going to talk to Adam Pearce about getting in a Money in the Bank qualifier.
- Rusev squashed Akira Tozawa and then had a stare down with Sheamus.
- Backstage, Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer plugged their comedy specials and Kreischer got pumped up when he saw The War Raiders as he thinks they're like brothers.
- WWE World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match: The New Day (c) (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) defeated American Made's Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed & Julius Creed) and The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) by pinfall to retain.
- Backstage, Morgan and Rodriguez bumped into Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane, making fun of Sane for losing her qualifier last week. Sane then challenged Morgan to a match tonight.
- Promo: Jey Uso started to talk about his tag team match coming up at Money in the Bank when Gunther interrupted to remind him about their title match on Raw for June 9th two days after MITB.
- Kairi Sane defeated Liv Morgan by pinfall due in part to an inadvertent distraction where Roxanne Perez was trying to help Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez then started arguing with Perez, which diverted Morgan's attention, so the blame is on Raquel rather than Roxanne. After the commercial break, Morgan pointed out that Rodriguez is the veteran and should've known better. Michael Cole made fun of their audio technical issues as that segment started muted.
- Lyra Valkyria came out for a promo, which Becky Lynch also took part in. They'll face off for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank. If Becky wins, Lyra has to raise her hand. If Lyra wins, Becky won't challenge her for the title anymore.
- Backstage, Karrion Kross told Sami Zayn that he's never going to win the title.
- Men's Money in the Bank Triple Threat Qualifying Match: Seth Rollins defeated Finn Bálor and Sami Zayn due in part to some miscalculated interference from Dominik Mysterio. CM Punk then attacked Rollins and ran off into the stands to get away from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
