WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce checked in with a video message Sunday morning to deliver his OFFICIAL “mini-preview” for this week’s show.
The final Raw before Clash in Italy has two segments locked in, and a tag team grudge match just added to on the card. Monday’s Memorial Day broadcast features a contract signing for the Tribal Combat main event in Turin, Oba Femi’s response to Brock Lesnar, and Bayley and Lyra Valkyria against The Judgment Day.
WWE Raw Match Card for May 25, 2026
Here are the segments and matches announced for Monday’s show:
Oba Femi Opens Raw After Brock Lesnar’s Ambush
Oba Femi kicks off the broadcast and is expected to respond to Brock Lesnar. On the May 18 Raw, Lesnar interrupted Femi’s weekly open challenge and dropped The Ruler with four F5s, his first WWE television appearance since WrestleMania 42.
Lesnar had appeared to retire after losing to Femi at WrestleMania 42, leaving his gloves and boots behind in the ring. That story reversed when Paul Heyman handed General Manager Adam Pearce a Clash in Italy contract already signed by Lesnar, locking in a rematch. Femi gets the microphone Monday to give his answer. More on Lesnar’s return and the rematch booking.
Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu Contract Signing for Tribal Combat
World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns (c) and Jacob Fatu put pen to paper for their Tribal Combat match at Clash in Italy. Fatu issued the challenge from the entrance stage on the May 18 Raw, and Reigns accepted after standing tall in a brawl with help from The Usos.
The stipulation pushes the stakes well past the title. Tribal Combat carries no disqualifications and no count-outs, and the loser is forced to bow and acknowledge the winner as Tribal Chief. Reigns already retained the championship against Fatu at Backlash, so Turin is a rematch with the family hierarchy on the line. Expect both men to make the signing personal before they ever reach Italy.
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. The Judgment Day
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are in tag team action against The Judgment Day. The pairing came to the aid of WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Paige and Brie Bella on the May 18 Raw, after Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez attacked the champions following their title defense.
