WWE RAW tonight (May 12, 2025): Start time in India, USA, UK, Australia & more

This week’s episode will serve as the fallout show from Backlash 2025!

The May 12 episode of Monday Night Raw will broadcast live from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, and will serve as the highly anticipated fallout from WWE Backlash 2025, which went down on May 10 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The premium live event delivered several blockbuster matches and high-stakes championship bouts, setting the stage for major developments on Raw. The main event featured a heated battle for the Undisputed WWE Championship as John Cena clashed with longtime rival Randy Orton.

Gunther took on Pat McAfee in a brutal contest, while Lyra Valkyria and Dominik Mysterio each retained their respective Intercontinental titles. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu emerged from a chaotic fatal four-way match still holding the United States Championship.

With tempers flaring, unresolved rivalries, and questions about what’s next for many of WWE’s top stars, the red brand promises a can’t-miss night of action as the road to the next major event begins.

In what has been dubbed as a dream matchup, Judgment Day’s Finn Balor will battle ‘The Phenomenal’ AJ Styles. Balor is looking to take care of the Styles problem for his Judgment Day stablemate and Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio. On the other hand, Styles is looking to get a win to challenge Mysterio for the title.

As demanded by War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) last week, the former Tag Champions will battle American Made (Julius & Brutus Creed) in a tag team match; the winner of the match will challenge the current WWE World Tag Team Champions, the New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston).

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. Regardless of the outcome, the match is sure to put Perez and Giulia on the map among WWE fans worldwide.

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, where Paul Heyman turned on him and then on Roman Reigns to align with Seth Rollins. Punk made his return last week, costing Rollins the World title match against Jey Uso.
