Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 27, 2026

We hear from Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Roman says he will leave the past in the past and calls The Usos the only people he can trust. He states that he does not know where Jacob Fatu is coming from, and that everyone had two years to make their move. Jey agrees with Jacob Fatu wanting to upgrade his household, but says it should not be at Roman's expense. Jimmy says that Jacob Fatu is dangerous when Jey says that Jacob is a different breed, and that there must be consequences for Jacob stepping up. Roman takes stock of what The Usos have to say and states that he will address this later tonight.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins says he lost to Gunther at WrestleMania because of Bron Breakker, who he blames for Roman Reigns holding the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins then calls Breakker out so they can handle some unfinished business. Bron Breakker and "The Oracle" Paul Heyman show up and head to the ring, and Rollins tells Breakker that he gave him the world on a silver platter only for Breakker to take everything away from him. He says that Breakker is responsible for his having to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship and miss WrestleMania, but Breakker says that he and "Big" Bronson Reed had to be Rollins' errand boys and put out the fires he started. Breakker says that they had to fight all of Rollins' battles for him while he kept repeating the same introduction every week, and says that he never needed Rollins or his vision, and that he is here today because he needed Paul Heyman. Rollins says that Breakker just proved everything he knew about him, even when he knew that Breakker was the next big thing in WWE and the most versatile athlete he had ever seen in WWE in fourteen years, yet Breakker did not have a mind for the business. Rollins says he knows better than anybody about being a 28-year-old coming into WWE thinking the business owes them something and having to make hard decisions, yet where Breakker tries, he succeeds. He says that when he bet on himself, he becomes a champion, but when Breakker bet on himself, it only gave him The Vision. Rollins then says that Breakker is not ready, but Breakker says he was going to be a main eventer with or without Rollins. He says that Rollins cannot handle being champion anymore, and says that while he came up short at becoming World Heavyweight Champion, he lost to the best in the world instead of someone who self-proclaims it. Breakker gives credit where credit is due to Rollins and tells him that he is the best in the world at being number two, and Rollins asks Breakker if he had to ask his uncle for help with his promo. Rollins then gives Breakker the opportunity to prove that he is ready at Backlash, then tells Breakker that he is not even number two in his own family.

Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez assaults Stephanie Vaquer from behind. As Liv Morgan watches, Roxanne Perez crushes Vaquer between two road crates before Liv proclaims that the Women's World Championship is hers.

Penta beats Rusev after slipping out of the Accolade and tricking Rusev into kicking him out of mid-air again by holding on to the ropes before going for - and winning with - a schoolkid pin. After the match, Rusev attacks Penta, then glares at "All Ego" Ethan Page when he tries to join in. Ethan backs off, and when Penta fights back, Ethan attacks Penta from behind. Rusev and Ethan gang up on Penta when Je'Von Evans shows up and makes the save.

We hear from Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano). El Grande Americano II says he will face El Grande Americano I in a mask vs. mask match that will be the biggest and most important fight he has ever had. He says he will have to be ready to fight for not only his life, but his name, his colors and his home, and there is no better way to prepare for this by issuing a respectful challenge to Rey Mysterio. He says it would be an honor to prepare himself by facing Rey Mysterio.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring. Becky boasts that she has gotten rid of AJ Lee and ended her "horrible" title reign and put championship gold around the waist of someone who truly deserves it - herself - and become the first woman to win four different titles at WrestleMania. She also states that she is not only a three-time Women's Intercontinental Champion, but she is on the way to becoming the winningest woman in WrestleMania history and beating The Undertaker's record. Becky then says that she had to show her daughter what a real champion is, and that even though it is not about the five-star hotels and the biggest cities, but about showing up in "run-down" towns like Laredo, Texas for the "common folk." She knows that the fans want her to be a fighting champion and face the best of the best, and for that, she issues an open challenge to whoever wants to come out and get welcomed to the big time. The challenge is answered by Iyo Sky, who heads to the ring and verbally accepts Becky's challenge. Becky says that Iyo is not new and shiny and that she is accepting on behalf of Rhea Ripley, saying she wants "to fight Shawn Michaels, not Marty Jannetty." When Becky says that Iyo Sky has been holding Rhea Ripley back, Iyo Sky slaps her. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and makes the match between Iyo and Becky for the Women's Intercontinental Championship official.

Becky Lynch retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Iyo Sky after Asuka shows up and trips Iyo Sky down as the referee checks on Becky Lynch. After the match, Asuka attacks Iyo and puts her in the Asuka Lock.

Backstage, El Grande Americano I meets with Rey Mysterio and accuses Rey of endorsing El Grande Americano II, then asks if he needs to watch his back during the mask vs. mask match. Rey says that all he wants is for both Americanos to respect lucha libre, then Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) show up and confront El Grande Americano I and Rey. Rey says he is not taking sides here, and El Grande Americano II says they will settle things in the ring.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). As Jimmy and Jey say that Roman Reigns will announce his decision when he makes it, LA Knight shows up and tells them they do not need Roman. The Usos say that this is family business, but Knight tells them that they have power and when power corrupts, it becomes his business.

Joe Hendry is in the ring for his first main roster concert. He sings about his WWE career so far before stating that he has signed to Raw, then tells General Manager Adam Pearce to fire Logan Paul. An angry Logan Paul storms out to the ring with Austin Theory, insisting that he is unfireable and says that the fans are awful just like Hendry's song. He also says that Hendry's first night on Raw will be his last. Theory states that the World Tag Team Championships make him and Logan Paul the best tag team in the world and make them winners, even though the fans feel otherwise. Hendry tells Logan and Theory that all he sees is a couple of prime time losers. Theory and Logan clear the ring, then Theory declares that the ring is theirs and that they go through everyone, starting with Hendry. Theory slaps Hendry, and Hendry fires back until the numbers game takes over. All of a sudden, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up and fight Logan and Theory, making quick work of them before Logan saves Theory from a splash by Montez Ford. Hendry hits the aerial offense, then celebrates with The Street Profits.

Backstage, Grayson Waller demands an opportunity from General Manager Adam Pearce, even going so far as to call Oba Femi "Oba rated" for beating Brock Lesnar at the end of Lesnar's career. Oba Femi is surprisingly behind Grayson, and makes it clear he wants him in the ring tonight.

Backstage, Joe Hendry thanks The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) for the help, and after Hendry leaves, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up. Before Rollins speaks, Montez Ford tells Rollins that last week was about the World Tag Team Titles before he and Dawkins walk off.

Rey Mysterio beats El Grande Americano II. During the match, Bravo Americano trips Rey and distracts the referee so that Rayo Americano can load El Grande Americano II's mask with a steel plate. Rayo ends up eating a 619, but El Grande Americano II still has the steel plate. El Grande Americano I shows up and stops El Grande Americano II from using the steel plate, and Rey hits El Grande Americano II with the 619 for the pin and the win. After the match, Rey Mysterio finds the steel plate and takes it with him on the way out. Afterwards, El Grande Americano I gets in the ring and attacks El Grande Americano II, and officials have to rush into the ring to restore order.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins vs. Bron Breakker and Iyo Sky vs. Asuka are both official for Backlash.

We her from Asuka, who says that she and Iyo Sky are done when she says she is done. She says that she is still Iyo's senpai and that Iyo has done nothing but disappoint her. Asuka says she used to blame herself, but she finally realizes that Iyo is the problem. She says that Iyo failed her and her family, then says that she is now alone because she did not want another Iyo. She says she spared Iyo so she could still make her part of her family again, but now that she has given up on having a family, she will destroy Iyo and prove that Iyo will never be ready for her.

Oba Femi beats Grayson Waller. After the match, Oba Femi mentions Grayson Waller stating that there are no opportunities and proposes a solution to the problem. He then announces that starting tonight, the Oba Femi open challenge will commence. He asks anyone who wants to face him and see how he compares to the top of the mountain to step up, but warns that he will punish them, as they are stepping into the ring with "The Ruler."

Backstage, Liv Morgan speaks with Roxanne Perez as Raquel gets ready for her match. Liv apologizes to Roxanne about how things down with Finn Balor and says that The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) is family and Finn put himself before the family. Liv says she will be in Roxanne's corner as she gets one step closer to tag team gold. Liv leaves after Roxanne says she needs a second, then Finn Balor shows up and warns Roxanne that she cannot trust Liv or anyone in The Judgment Day. Roxanne questions who she can really trust between him and The Judgment Day and warns Finn to leave before he gets hurt. Finn wishes her luck and leaves.

The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez) beat Bayley and Lyra Valyria.

We see a video package for Sol Ruca, who officially signs her Raw contract next week.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. Roman says the World Heavyweight Championship was made in spite of him and to take away his shine, but it never worked, then says that the title does not make the man and that the man makes the title, which he has already done. Roman boasts that he put the World Heavyweight Championship in Night 2 of WrestleMania and made it relevant, and now he is proud of the title, which he proclaims is now respected and acknowledged. As the crowd acknowledges Roman, Jacob Fatu shows up and heads to the ring. Roman hopes that Jacob Fatu made the right choice to unite their family and not divide it after a week, but Jacob says he did not even need an hour to think about it and insists that he needs the World Heavyweight Championship. He accuses Roman of being stuck in his championship bubble and not being on the grind like he is, stating that he was broke wondering if he would be in WWE while Roman ran The Bloodline. Jacob says that it is not about how you start, but how you finish, and it eventually got him here after Solo Sikoa was the one to call him and give him a chance. Roman says Jacob is either confused or dumb and that Solo could not get a cup of coffee in the building if he wanted to. Roman states that he is the one who runs the place, and while he has been distracted and things have gotten hectic, and he has not forgotten about Jacob, even having signed off on him. He says that Jacob does not deserve the World Heavyweight Championship and is akin to nepotism, which causes Jacob Fatu to hit Roman with the Tongan Death Grip not once, but twice, and choke him out. Jacob tells Roman that he will take everything from him, then lets go and leaves the ring. Roman tells Jacob that he owes him at Backlash, and he will see him then. Jacob tells Roman that he will see him next week before the show fades to black.

Let's Go! - LFG recap for April 27, 2025 (Episode Two)

Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends and Future Greats. He explains that next week, the "LFG Playoffs" begin and that eliminations will start. This week's challenge is monikers and nicknames, and this week's guest is "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. AJ Styles says that "Phenomenal" is a feeling to embody and is not just about doing flips. Afterwards, the Future Greats pitch ideas to the Legends. Sirena goes with "La Diablita," which means "The Little Devil" in Spanish. Leigh Laurel wants to be "The Silent Killer," but Booker T tells her that she needs to be able to display that instead of being the "butterfly" she has already is. Dani picks "The Shooting Star," as she sees herself as unlimited potential. Tatyanna calls herself "The Gold Standard" at the behest of Bubba Ray, which Tyra Mae thinks is a lie as there is nothing golden about her. Tatyanna sees that as an insecurity on Tyra Mae's part. Tyra Mae goes with "The Real Deal," but Booker T calls that disrespectful after what Evander Holyfield did, and this leds to Elijah Holyfield seizing the moment and calling himself "The Holyfield Warrior," saying that being a warrior is in his blood and that he will conquer everything in his path, inflict pain and win championships while doing it, as it is "the Holyfield Warrior way." AJ Styles reminds him that sometimes, the war can be in his head and not just in the ring. The Undertaker is impressed by Elijah's initiative, but Booker T states that he brought that out of him. Zena goes with "The Oxymoron," stating that she was viewed as a moron at the beginning but is now the one to beat. Styles is a bit weirded out by the explanation, but he understands the meaning behind it. (Bully Ray holds Zena's gum both before and after BJ goes with "The West Coast Gangsta" and says he grew up on the streets of Orange County, California and that there were years were his father barely made half a million dollars. Drake Morreaux goes with "The Bayou Boy," which impresses the Legends with his ability to lean into the swampy New Orleans side of himself. Shiloh Hill goes with "The Hellraiser," and brings out his intensity as he does. Jasper Troy goes with "The Reaper," which brings up an Undertaker comparison from Styles. Chris Island goes with "The Promised Child," which Jasper Troy takes as Chris Island wanting to always be known as "little brother." He also tells Chris Island that he was looking for a grown man.

Zena "The Oxymoron" Sterling and "The Gold Standard" Tatyanna Dumas beat Dani "The Shooting Star" Sekelsky and "La Diablita" Sirena Linton. Styles says that he expected Dani and Sirena to stand out a little more. Dani feels like she was run over in the tail end of the competition. Booker says that Zena is excelling and that she knows how to get herself and others over. Bubba Ray wants to see more out of Tatyanna, and calls the match "a good effort." Afterwards, Tatyanna feels that she did not deliver and that her performance is unacceptable.

"The West Coast Gangsta" BJ Ray and "The Bayou Boy" Drake Morreaux beat Anthony "Showtime" Luke and "The Reaper" Jasper Troy. Bubba Ray says BJ Ray and Morreaux worked together, but feels he did not see enough of "The West Coast Gangster." Styles says BJ "worked small" and looked small as a result. BJ says he did not want to come across as a heel, as he was working as a babyface in the match. Mickie James says she enjoyed watching Morreaux and BJ, and Morreaux is glad that the Legends enjoyed. Booker T says Anthony Luke did a good job but could have done better, and he and The Undertaker agree that Anthony has too much talent to be hokey. Anthony says he has a lot to improve on. Everyone agrees that Jasper Troy as "The Reaper" felt genuine, especially The Undertaker, and that Jasper Troy believed his moniker. Styles says Jasper was not trying to send someone to the hospital; he was trying to send someone to the morgue. Jasper says The Undertaker was the one man he wanted to impress, as he held the keys, and that means the world to him.

Leigh "The Detonator" Laurel and Penina "P-Nasty" Tuilalepa beat "The Real Deal" Tyla Mae Steele and Bayley "The Bone Collector" Humphrey. AJ Styles says Leigh had her moniker down from the get-go, but expected Penina to be a little nastier. The Undertaker says Penina scratched the surface for her moniker. Mickie tells Leigh that something has clicked and that she has brought her A-game. Booker T says Tyra Mae could have been more structured, but she did a good job. He also tells Bayley to put more of a focus of looking good in the ring.

"The Promised Child" Chris Island and "The Superhuman Superstar" Troy Yearwood beat Shiloh "The Hellraiser" Hill and Elijah "The Holyfield Warrior." The Undertaker feels that everyone's monikers were not showcased well enough, and Bubba Ray agrees. Styles says everyone will get there, but he agrees with The Undertaker and Bubba Ray.

The points are awarded. Booker T says some people stood out more than others, but everyone is on the right path. He says that it is only going to get harder from here. Mickie James says everyone put on some good matches, but it was all about monikers this week. The Undertaker says everyone is getting better, and that this is what they need to see and that everyone needs to set themselves apart from the path. Bubba Ray says there is no excuses, especially since everyone knew the assignment. Styles awards a point to Jasper Troy for the men for showing a lot of intensity, and a point to Zena for the women for showing what her moniker was all about, even if he did not understand it at first. Team Undertaker is first at seven points, Team Booker is at six points, Team Bubba Ray is now in third place with four points, and Team Mickie is still at three points and is now in last place.

Let's Go! - LFG recap for April 27, 2025 (Episode One)

The show begins with Bubba Ray chewing out both BJ Ray and Cutler James, the former for going into business for himself and Cutler James for walking out on the match, which Bubba Ray says would get BJ an ass-kicking and Cutler a firing. He then pits the two of them against each other in a match, which is going to happen right now.

BJ Ray beats Cutler James with a sleeper. The Legends are not impressed with the match, and Cutler James mentions that BJ was gassed after the first 30 seconds. BJ accuses Cutler James of being stuff and not selling his offense. Cutler says he is still learning and trying to be a good communicator, but says there is no excuse for not being in shape. Afterwards, Bubba Ray chews both men out for having an awful match, and tells them both to show something. He tells them to have another match, with the stipulation that the winner stays and the loser goes.

Shawn Michaels meets with the Future Greats. He announces that this week's challenge is about being prepared for the unexpected, whether it be a power outage in the venue or a fight breaking out in the stands. He says that sometimes, things will go wrong, and that Superstars should know how to deal with things. Afterwards, The Legends wonder what Shawn Michaels has in store, and know the Future Greats will have to be ready for anything. Bubba Ray says he needs to put Drake Morreaux in a match to make up for last week. Mickie James wants to see aggression out of Troy Yearwood. The Undertaker wants to get aggression out of Tyra Mae, and Booker T says that Leigh Laurel needs to be seen in a babyface role. A mixed tag match is proposed, and Booker T wants to see Penina in the mix, and Bubba Ray also wants to see Zena in the mix, as he has high hopes for her. Chris Island and Penia are put in a mixed tag with Zena and Shiloh Hill.

Tyra Mae Steele beats Leigh Laurel by submission with a single leg crab. During the match, the top rope breaks apart after Tyra Mae whips Leigh into the corner, but the match goes on. Afterwards, The Undertaker and Booker T feel there is a lot of work to do, and Bubba Ray says they are taking steps back and not forward. Bubba Ray takes Tyra Mae moving her eyes upwards as rolling her eyes instead of trying to calm down. Leigh feels they lost sight of the match.

Drake Morreaux beats Troy Yearwood. During the match, three more minutes is suddenly added to the match time. Mickie James says both men handled it, but not in the best way. Booker T mentions Troy Yearwood missing multiple punches, and The Undertaker tells Drake Morreaux to make his moves look bigger and to "work big." He does compliment both men on getting their time. Bubba Ray takes umbrage to Morreaux throwing Yearwood out of the ring, and The Undertaker says that he should have taken more advantage of the three minutes instead of just filling time. Morreaux says he will remember the advice for next time, and Yearwood says he is deep in thought after being chewed out along with his opponent, and that he does not want to bring others down.

Chris Island and Penina Tuilalepa beat Shiloh Hill and Zena Sterling in a mixed tag match. During the match, there is a power surge, and the arena goes dark. Bubba Ray enjoyed the match and felt everyone took a step forward and shined, and The Undertaker says Penina had her best match. Booker T praises everyone, saying that Penina has found what has gotten her on track, but mentions that Chris Island cannot stomp opponents well. Island says he will practice his stomps, and Shiloh takes the blame for him doing a stomp in the match. Penina is happy to get good feedback, and Zena says this has been her favorite match in the competition so far.

The points are awarded. Booker T says Shiloh Hill stood out for the men and that Penina stood out for the women by a sliver. Mickie James picks Shiloh for the men and Zena for the women, but does note that Penina had a fine match thanks to Zena. The Undertaker picks Zena, and says Penina and Zena had their best day, then picks Shiloh for the men. Bubba Ray picks Shiloh Hill for the men, stating that he loved his intensity and the little things that he has improved on, and that Shiloh has earned the point. He agrees with the rest of the Legends about Penina and tells her to feel proud about taking the definitive step forward, and states that Zena continues to blow them all away, even mentioning commitment and professionalism by stating that she watched old matches of luchadors, which explains the rolling around at the beginning of the match. Shiloh wins unanimously for the men, and Zena wins for the women. Zena notes her improvement from the start of the competition until now, and Mickie James says that while part of her wanted to vote for Chris Island, she still stands firm on Shiloh being the better man tonight and that it would not do anyone good to lie. The Undertaker praises Shiloh's range as a professional wrestler. Team Undertaker has 7 points, Team Booker T has five points, and Team Bubba Ray and Team Mickie James are now tied at 3 points each.

BJ Ray beats Cutler James in a Loser Leaves Town match with a crucifix pin. Mickie James mentions that she expected something more after the match. After the match, Bubba Ray gets with both men and says that neither man have impressed him, with BJ's problems being evident and with Cutler starting out strong only to taper off. Booker T says BJ talks a good game, but he cannot back it up. Mickie agrees with Booker T, saying he pulled for BJ at the beginning, but Cutler James has a better look and is more respectful. The Undertaker says Bubba Ray has a tough decision, and says he does not know what the stakes have to be in order to bring out more fire and emotion, and also agrees that BJ can talk the talk but not walk the walk. He does admit there is potential. Bubba tells BJ and Cutler that he would have them both their money back and told them to go home, and says that BJ is "a headache and a problem and an issue" and that there is something to be said everywhere he goes. He says that if there is one thing he learned about pro wrestling, it is that entertainment trumps wrestling. He then picks BJ to stay, causing Cutler James, and wishes him best of luck in his future endeavors before shaking his hand. Cutler leaves, and Bubba Ray notices that BJ's smirk is gone. Bubba Ray says that BJ is finally taking seriously, and despite the Legends wanting him gone for being a screw-up, he still sees something in him, and says that he will have to sink or swim on his own or else he will hold the door while everyone else kicks him out. Afterwards, BJ makes the decision to be more coachable. Cutler says he will have to do some digging and figure out his path to the top, and whatever he does, he knows it will be big.

Rollins says he does not want this match, and that he has to do this. He admits to dropping him two weeks ago to get to this point, and says this is not about either of them. Rollins says that McIntyre will be a great champion, for he is a great and honorable man, but he is not a leader like him, as he has led and people have followed, and the fans need someone they can turn to and be guided by. Rollins says he can be "the light in that darkness," and says he had to suffer for the WWE title and that McIntyre does not need to, for the title is his burden to carry and not McIntyre's.

McIntyre admits that was an enlightening, passionate speech from Rollins, and says it is clear to him and everyone else watching that Rollins is "completely full of shit" due to having no followers and not taking accountability for anything. He says that while he has no idea what is going on in Rollins' head, he will not let him win the WWE Championship under any circumstances, and advises that he shut his mouth forever, saying he puts his foot in his mouth and "his head up his arse" simultaneously whenever he opens it. He also advises that Seth Rollins finish the job with him and go for the throat, for he will do the same. Both men stand up, and Rollins says that the picture will be clear and that McIntyre will be better off for it. Rollins signs the contract, then McIntyre attacks him when he tells him to have faith.
