WWE Monday Night Raw is all set for a big show on May 5(2025), live from the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. This episode will be the final Raw before the Backlash Premium Live Event, and it promises drama, big matches, and some heated confrontations. With many top stars appearing, it looks like fans are in for a wild night.
Just days before their big matches at Backlash, WWE is making sure the rivalries get more intense and stories move forward in a big way.
Becky Lynch to face Lyra Valkyria
One of the most exciting parts of the upcoming Raw is when Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria will come face-to-face. Becky is set to challenge Lyra for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Backlash. Now, she is coming to Raw to call her out, and things could get intense.
Last week, their rivalry took a wild turn when Becky attacked Lyra near the entrance ramp. That moment showed that Becky Lynch was fully ready to fight and would do anything she could to become champion again.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce confirmed on social media that Becky will be live on the May 5 episode(2025) to speak directly to Valkyria. This meeting could turn into a big fight if the two superstars did not hold back.
IYO SKY, Rusev, SethRollins, and various more in action
Women’s World Champion IYO SKY will also be in action on Raw. She is facing rising star Roxanne Perez in a non-title singles match. This bout was announced after weeks of tension, including a moment when SKY saved Rhea Ripley from a sneak attack by Perez and Giulia. With emotions running high, this match could be a major attraction.
Rusev will return to the ring to face Otis. Rusev returned to Raw after WrestleMania and now wants to show everyone that he is back and stronger than ever. Otis is no easy opponent, but Rusev is determined to show fans that he still has what it takes to dominate.
JD McDonagh and Penta will also go one-on-one after weeks of tension. Penta recently dropped Chad Gable with a hard kick backstage, and now it’s time for payback and answers in the ring.
Adding to the lineup, Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman will be on Raw to speak to the WWE Universe. Their appearance comes one week after they brutally attacked Sami Zayn when he refused to join them and move to SmackDown. Fans are eager to hear what they have to say next.
