Top storylines to watch on WWE Raw (May 25, 2026): Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu; Brock Lesnar's return ahead of Clash in Italy & more

Monday Night Raw returns with a consequential episode.

WWE Raw returns this week with a hugely consequential show, following the conclusion of the May 23 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. Additionally, it will be the final edition of the Red brand in the lead-up to Clash in Italy.

Live from the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, the Red brand‘s show will not only address the aftermath of SNME, but will continue the build for the PLE as stars scheduled to compete will meet for the final time. Let us now take a look at the top four storylines that might unravel on this Monday’s Raw.

4. An alliance against the Vision?

Montez Ford of the Street Profits realized it the wrong way: to defeat Logan Paul and Austin Theory and capture the World Tag Team titles, they need to take on the entire Vision faction. A realization Seth Rollins came to after his loss to Bron Breakker at Backlash. Since then, Rollins has been rallying to join forces with the Street Profits.

While Angelo Dawkins has been open to the idea, Ford has been against it, citing his trust issue with Rollins. However, with the loss at SNME, Ford will have to keep aside his doubts and join forces with Rollins in order to take down the Vision. An alliance of convenience is the only thing that will help both parties in their respective goals.

3. Welcome to the Big Time!

During the May 23 edition of SNME, Becky Lynch took on Sol Ruca in a non-title match. The match ended in a disqualification as Becky pulled the referee right in front when Ruca was going for the Sol Snatcher. The finish and the attack afterwards by Becky infuriated SmackDown GM Nick Aldis, who passed on GM Adam Pearce’s message to Becky.

The message that Lynch will now have to defend her Women’s Intercontinental title against Ruca at the upcoming PLE in Italy. Fans are now waiting to see how Ruca responds to it all and if she can rise up to the opportunity, or if she will be unable to overcome Becky’s mind games.

2. Do you accept the challenge?

In a surprising turn of events, Brock Lesnar returned last week after originally retiring at WrestleMania 42 after losing to Oba Femi. Brock, in his return, attacked Oba Femi and delivered multiple F5s. Afterwards, Paul Heyman informed GM Adam Pearce that Lesnar has challenged Femi to a rematch at Clash in Italy.

Femi is confirmed to kick off the broadcast this Monday, and fans are waiting to see what his response is and whether he accepts the challenge.

1. Contract signing for Clash in Italy

Following multiple attacks from Jacob Fatu after the WWE Backlash 2026, Roman Reigns struck back last week alongside The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso), who had also been laid out by Fatu two weeks earlier.

Fatu later challenged Reigns to a rematch at WWE Clash in Italy with the World Heavyweight Championship at stake, and Reigns accepted, officially setting the stage for their second showdown. The two rivals are now set to come face-to-face this Monday for the contract signing ahead of their title clash in Italy this Sunday.
