Top five storylines to watch out on WWE RAW after Backlash 2025

The Second City Saint will address the WWE Universe tonight!

After delivering the 2025 edition of WWE Backlash from St. Louis on May 10, the Stamford-based promotion is now traveling to Kentucky to deliver the fallout show of Monday Night Raw, which is set to emanate live from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A. 

The show will feature developments that transpired on the PLE. Multiple big names, including CM Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky and more, have been announced for the show. The promotion has also announced two singles matches along with two tag-team matches for the show.

Here are the top five storylines that you need to watch out for on the fallout show of WWE Raw in Louisville, Kentucky.

5. Tag Team clash

Following weeks of sneak attacks and confrontation, Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky will team up with Rhea Ripley to shut down the newcomers from NXT, Roxanne Perez and Giulia.

Both teams have a lot of animosity toward each other, and the clash might be the beginning of their storyline, which might end up in future showdowns at the upcoming PLEs.

4. Lyra Valkyria responds

Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria defended her title successfully against Becky Lynch at Backlash.

However, the loss only irked Lynch, who attacked the Champion after the loss, locking in the disarmer, which forced security and officials to rush in to aid the Champion. The attack made one thing clear that the feud is far from over.

3. Battle of the Luchadores

As predicted by Khel Now, El Grande Americano did cost Penta the Intercontinental title match against Dominik Mysterio on May 10th, signalling the beginning of their feud in the absence of Rey Mysterio.

Americano’s “acquaintance” Chad Gable is set to battle Penta in a singles match tonight, it will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for this storyline.

2. Jey Uso addresses the sneak attack

World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso was ambushed by Logan Paul last week following his title defense against Seth Rollins, after Monday Night Raw went off air.

The promotion has announced a title clash between the two for the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event. Jey is set to address the attack tonight, further building up the feud ahead of their showdown on May 24.

1. CM Punk speaks

‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk is set to address the WWE Universe for the first time since WrestleMania 41 loss. While Punk has made two appearances since the ‘Grandest Stage’, both of them were to confront Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman.

After an appearance on Raw after WrestleMania, Punk made his return last week during the main event title clash between Jey Uso and Seth Rollins, he will now address the betrayal tonight.
