Top four predictions for WWE Raw after Backlash 2025: Logan Paul strikes again; Finn Balor suffers defeat & more

Jey Uso will address the sneak attack from last week!

World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso is set to make an appearance tonight after he was sucker punched last week following his title defense, when Raw went off air by Logan Paul. The May 12 episode of Monday Night Raw is set to emanate live from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A.

The show will serve as the fallout show from Backlash 2025, the promotion has also announced multiple matches and segments apart from Jey’s appearance. As the promotion now starts the build for the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event, here are the top four predictions for tonight’s show of WWE Raw from Louisville, Kentucky.

4. Chad Gable can’t compete

Chad Gable is set to battle Penta in a singles match tonight, which comes after El Grande Americano cost Penta the IC title match against Dominik Mysterio at the PLE. Gable will likely fall ill again as he did earlier and will ask General Manager Adam Pearce to either replace him with someone else or with Americano himself. If Penta battles an entirely different opponent, it is highly likely that Americano will cause interference.

3. Finn Balor suffers defeat

Judgment Day’s Finn Balor will battle ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles. Balor is looking to take care of the Styles problem for his stablemate and Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio. The recent tensions in the stable and Balor feeling left out of the group have already caused a considerable rift; botched interferences from Balor’s stable will likely hurt his chances, costing him the match against Styles.

2. Logan Paul strikes again

As mentioned, World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso will make an appearance after he was sucker punched last week following his title defense, when Raw went off air by Logan Paul. Following the announcement that Jey will defend the title against Logan at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event, it is very likely that Logan will continue to play mind games, likely attacking the Champion once again tonight.

1. Trifecta of Terror targets CM Punk

As announced during Backlash 2025, ‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk will return to address the WWE Universe for the first time since WrestleMania 41. Punk made his return last week, costing Seth Rollins the World title match against Jey Uso. The attack, coupled with the severe animosity between Rollins’ faction and Punk, will likely culminate in the Trifecta of Terror ambushing Punk tonight during his segment.
