WWE Raw Results – May 26, 2025 | Tampa, Florida
Monday Night Raw delivered a stacked episode from Tampa’s Yuengling Center, setting the tone for
the road to Money in the Bank. With two high-stakes qualifiers, a triple threat title match, and the
return of a controversial icon, this show had everything fans could ask for – and then some.
World Tag Team Championship: Triple Threat Match
The New Day (c) vs. The War Raiders vs. American Made
Winners: The New Day retained the titles
The tag division took center stage in a chaotic, high-energy triple threat match. The War Raiders
brought the brutality, the Creed Brothers showed off pure athleticism, and The New Day leaned on
their chemistry and experience.
MITB Qualifier #1: Penta vs. Chad Gable vs. Dragon Lee
Winner: Penta qualifies for MITB
In a dazzling display of speed and strategy, Penta outlasted two technically gifted opponents. Gable
was dominant with his suplex clinic, Dragon Lee wowed the crowd with aerial attacks – but it was
Penta who struck when it counted.
Rusev vs. Akira Tozawa
Winner: Rusev via submission
Rusev was in destroyer mode from bell to bell. Tozawa, always game, barely got out of the blocks
before being rag-dolled around the ring. The Bulgarian Brute made him tap to the Game Over in
short order.
Kairi Sane vs. Liv Morgan
Winner: Kairi Sane via pinfall
This match had more layers than expected. Liv’s increasingly erratic behavior created tension with
Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez at ringside. The distraction cost her big-time, as Kairi nailed
the InSane Elbow for the win.
MITB Qualifier #2: Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor vs. Sami Zayn
Winner: Seth Rollins qualifies for MITB
This match stole the show. Zayn had the crowd behind him, Bálor was vicious, and Rollins – ever the
architect – played them both like a fiddle. The match ended in brutal fashion, with Rollins delivering a
Blackout onto a steel chair to Bálor and scoring the win.
CM Punk Shocks the WWE Universe
Just when you thought the night was over – CM Punk returned and hit Rollins with a thunderous
GTS, sending the Tampa crowd into a frenzy.
Final Thoughts
This week’s Raw did everything a go-home episode should – build stakes, create chaos, and leave
us wanting more. With Penta and Rollins now qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match,
The New Day still clutching their titles, and CM Punk back in the mix, Raw’s momentum is
undeniable.
