Logan Paul kicks off WWE Raw
WWE Raw kicked off with Logan Paul ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship match against Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Tampa, Florida.
Paul stated that he would be the champion next week, claiming that he would knock off Jey — before Gunther arrived on the scene as well. Gunther appreciated Paul for his success in WWE and Social Media, saying he would take it as disrespect if he beats Jey at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Gunther then left the ring before Jey hit Paul with a superkick.

Penta and AJ Styles vs. Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh
Penta helped AJ Styles last week here on WWE Raw in his match against Finn Balor when JD McDonagh and Carlito tried to get involved. Things turned out well for Styles, who then defeated Balor. Bálor and McDonagh are now back for some revenge as they take on both Penta and Styles in a Tag Team match.
Things got a bit ugly for Bálor and McDonagh, but they still managed to secure the win after a ringside attack by El Grande Americano on Penta.
Result: Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh defeated Penta and AJ Styles
Ratings: 7.5 /10
Key Notes and Observations:
- Jey Uso met Paul Heyman backstage, saying that he would battle Bron Breakker tonight. Heyman also told Jey that after all this, Seth Rollins would eventually be the next World Champion.
Natalya vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Becky Lynch
Natalya, Roxanne Perez, and Becky Lynch then collided in the Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying match.
All three women brought an incredible fight to each other. Lynch closed in on victory at one point before Lyra Valkyria attacked her. This chaos allowed Perez to take advantage on Natalya inside the ring to win the match.

Ratings: 8 /10
Key Notes and Observations:
- Seth Rollins met Logan Paul backstage saying that Jey Uso won’t be 100 percent at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and if he can somehow beat Gunther as well. He’ll be waiting for him.
Sheamus vs. Grayson Waller
Sheamus defeated Austin Theory on the May. 5th edition of WWE Raw, but he now finds himself in a singles match against Grayson Waller — who looks to take some revenge for his friend.
Sheamus dominated Waller to pick up the win after his friend Theory refused to provide any assistance from the ringside.

Key Notes and Observations:
- Rusev appeared in a cinematic backstage segment saying Akira Tozawa has got his attention, and that he would beat him senseless.
- Finn Balor introduced Roxanne Perez as a backup for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in a backstage segment while Dominik Mysterio insisted on asking Liv Morgan first. Balor also told Mysterio that he is not officially in the group, while Perez offered Mysterio a box of chicken tenders.
Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker attacked Jey Uso last week here on WWE Raw, who is now out for some revenge as they now collide in a singles match. Breakker was sent on a mission by Seth Rollins to break Jey as he heads towards his possible next title defences, also one against Rollins soon if he is able to survive all odds.
Jey tried to close in on the victory before Paul Heyman tried to get involved in the match. Jey then went for Heyman before Rollins jumped him from behind, causing the match to end via disqualification. Rollins and Breakker then continued to attack Jey after the match before Sami Zayn and CM Punk came to his aid.
Zayn and Punk took the fight to Rollins and Breakker as the show ended. Meanwhile, Logan Paul took advantage inside the ring and hit Jey with a punch to the face.
Result: Jey Uso defeated Bron Breakker via disqualification

My thoughts on this week’s edition of WWE Raw:
WWE Raw delivered one of the finest pieces of work since WrestleMania 41 last month. WWE made progress on a lot of storylines heading into Saturday Night’s Main Event and Money in the Bank PLE.
Both Roxanne Perez and Rhea Ripley have managed to punk their ticket in the 2025 Women’s Money in the Bank match. WWE Raw ended with a crazy amount of chaos between Jey Uso, Logan Paul, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and CM Punk as they are all set to compete in their respective match against each other at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
My Ratings for the show: 10 /10
