WWE Raw Card for May 4, 2026
Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu Contract Signing
The biggest segment of the night. Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu will stand across the table from each other for the official contract signing ahead of their clash at Backlash 2026 this Saturday. These segments rarely go smoothly, and with the bad blood between Reigns and The Bloodline running as deep as it does, expect fireworks before the ink dries. Backlash is five days away — this could set the final tone for their feud.
Asuka and IYO SKY Sit-Down Discussion
Ahead of their match at Backlash on Saturday, Asuka and IYO SKY sit down face-to-face in what is sure to be an emotionally charged exchange. The two were former tag team partners and allies, making this rivalry one of the most personal on the Raw roster. Expect this segment to provide the final emotional chapter before their in-ring collision in Tampa.
Je’Von Evans & Penta vs. Rusev & Ethan Page
A high-energy tag team match pitting the explosive combination of Je’Von Evans and Penta against the powerhouse duo of Rusev and Ethan Page. Evans has been one of Raw’s most electrifying young stars in recent months, and Penta brings an unpredictable edge. Rusev and Page are a dangerous pairing — this one should deliver in a big way.
Finn Balor vs. JD McDonagh
The former Judgment Day partners finally collide one-on-one. Finn Balor takes on JD McDonagh in what promises to be a technically sharp, hard-hitting bout between two men who know each other’s games inside and out. The history between them adds a compelling layer — expect a physical, personal match.
Sol Ruca Signs Her Raw Contract
Sol Ruca makes it official, signing her Raw contract and officially joining the main roster. The former NXT standout is one of the most athletic performers in all of WWE, known for her incredible agility and crowd-pleasing Sol Snatcher finisher. Her arrival on Raw is a significant moment — watch for a statement following the signing.
Oba Femi’s Open Challenge Begins
Oba Femi kicks off what could be a long-running open challenge segment series on Raw. The dominant big man is looking to make a statement and put the locker room on notice. Who answers the call? This is the kind of segment that could launch a new rivalry or deliver an unexpected surprise.
