RAW Results — May 25, 2026

Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center, Columbus, OH

Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu signed the Tribal Combat contract in the show's final segment, officially booking their World Heavyweight Championship match for WWE Clash in Italy. The signing framed acknowledgment and family stakes as the central issue of the match.

Main Results

Penta retained the WWE Intercontinental Championship over Je'Von Evans, countering Evans' offense into the Mexican Destroyer for the finish. Rey Mysterio rolled up Rusev to become the No. 1 contender to Penta, then received help from Dragon Lee when Ethan Page and Rusev tried to press the attack. Oba Femi opened the show, signed his Clash in Italy contract on Paul Heyman's chest, and answered Brock Lesnar with the message that this time he is fighting to kill Lesnar. Austin Theory launched two violent chair assaults, first on Joe Hendry and later on Angelo Dawkins, following a backstage angle about Logan Paul's torn triceps that was announced on air. Bayley teamed with Lyra Valkyria to beat Judgment Day's Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez after a distraction involving Dominik Mysterio and the AAA Mega Championship.

What Stood Out

The real headline is that WWE doubled down on the personal nature of Reigns versus Fatu, turning the Clash in Italy match into a family honor fight with acknowledgment written into the build. Penta's continued Intercontinental title momentum and Rey Mysterio becoming the next challenger keep the midcard title picture active while Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar's rematch was positioned as a grudge escalation rather than a simple rematch. The show also leaned into The Vision storyline, with Austin Theory using Logan Paul's injury as cover to brutalize opponents and deepen the faction's reach.

Fast Takeaway

The closing contract signing made the Reigns Fatu feud feel unavoidable and personal, which will keep interest high for the Clash in Italy main event. Social chatter will focus on Penta's IC run and Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar, while Theory's chair attacks have created a clear simmering heel problem for multiple babyfaces to solve.
