Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 26, 2025

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman head to the ring to start tonight's show. Heyman puts Breakker and Bronson on a pedestal while introducing them as only he can, and also mentions that CM Punk is not here thanks to Bronson Reed, who Heyman says is considered so dangerous by WWE that WWE will not put top tier talent in front of him. He then praises the sacrifices that Rollins has made to make the business bigger and better than ever, calling Rollins the most generous man he has ever met in his life. The fans chant "We want Roman" before Rollins says the four of them are not just the vision, but his vision and his way of securing the future through total control, total domination and complete power. The fans then chant "You sold out!" before Rollins proclaims he said what he was going to do at WrestleMania and did it, and when the fans chant "Fuck you, Rollins!", Rollins accuses the fans of questioning his integrity five minutes after singing his song. The fans then sing his entrance theme again, and Rollins finds humor in the situation, saying the fans do not know right from left and that they consider him the bad guy when he is the only one capable of leading WWE into the future. He says that the power he seeks comes through championships, and that he would have the World Heavyweight Championship if it were not for Sami Zayn and CM Punk. This leads to another "CM Punk" chant, and Rollins states that Punk found out what happens to those who underestimate him, and that Sami Zayn will find out tonight, as he has found something more powerful than championships: the Money in the Bank Briefcase. Rollins announces that he will qualify for Money in the Bank, win the contract, and cash in when, how and who he wants, and that nobody will be able to stop him, calling it complete domination and total power.

Gunther congratulates Jey on retaining against Logan Paul and on fifteen years in WWE, and says that Jey has held on to the World Heavyweight Championship longer than he expected and commends him on wanting to be "captain of the ship" on Raw. He admits that Jey has great qualities for a human being, but states that those are terrible qualities for a champion and that Jey does not know better, as being World Champion does not come natural to him. Gunther says he was champion for almost a year because he only had himself to care about, and that Jey does not have the intellect to carry himself as a great champion, and in two weeks, he will relieve him from that position and make things right when he chokes him out. Jey says he is done with everyone saying his days as champion are numbered and using the title as an excuse to turn one's back on friends and family, as he fights for them and they fight for him. He says that what Gunther is fighting for is less than what he fights for, and that he has Gunther figured out. He says he will see him in two weeks, and that at the end of the day, he fights for the fans and he will make him tap him out again.

Lyra Valkyria heads to the ring. Lyra wishes she was facing a new challenger for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, then says Becky Lynch has talked herself into a title rematch at Money in the Bank. She says she has nothing left to prove by beating her twice, and while she felt like the ultimate winner against all her other challengers, she felt no satisfaction after beating Becky, who acted like she won the match afterwards. Lyra says she just wanted to pin Becky to the mat for three seconds at Backlash, but she got in her fiancée's face and tried to take her out, and now, it is personal. Lyra then says she will hurt Becky at Money in the Bank and break her ego, and if she has to bash her head in, then she will do it. Becky shows up and says Lyra cost her her opportunity, and says that she was done with her, saying that while Lyra won the match, she won the night, and says Lyra cannot let things go because she is the best thing to ever happen to Lyra and her title. Lyra tells Becky that this is not how it works and that people are talking about her because she beat Becky, and Becky proposes that if Lyra can beat her again, she will never challenge her for the Women's Intercontinental Championship again. Lyra says she has no problem with that, especially after she beat her the second time around with her eyes closed. Becky also says that if she wins, Lyra has to look her in the eye and raise her hand like she did for her when she beat her for the NXT Women's Championship. Lyra says she has never had a problem raising the hand of anyone who has ever beaten her, then says that Becky has yet to beat her.

Flash says they have been travelling the world, winning championships and making waves, and IMPACT's tag team titles are one of the few titles they have not one.

He then says he can look Cody in the eye and says that he is a game-changer and that he has admired him and the way he has done business until now.

Nick Aldis proposes that they make a deal right now, and Cody says it is nice to meet Aldis and that he certainly looks and acts the part; however, he is presumptuous about him and he is not interested in the NWA World Heavyweight Championship because of its past history; he is interested in it for himself. He does say that Nick Alids is right when he said that he never talked to him, and asks Aldis to allow him to ask if he is all in. Cody extends his hand, but Aldis takes the microphone and says he is on one condition. It has come to his attention that between himself and All In, Cody has another shot at the ROH World Championship. if Cody is all in, then he should be in, and if he is successful in winning the ROH World title, then it should be put on the line in their match at All In along with the NWA World title.

He says nobody cares about the chairs or tables and that The Network is all the show needs, and that "Mr. Nielsen is popping one off right now." As The Network claps in celebration, Cyrus says he is proud of Scotty Anton, as the network is planning on getting behind him and Anton is considered "a quality human being." He says that Anton has lived in the shadow of one Rob Van Dam, and that for too long, Anton has been known simply as "Rob Van Dam's best friend." Cyrus announces that from this point forward, he will be known as "Rob Van Dam's bitch," except when he shows what Rob Van Dam's friendship was worth to The Network. Cyrus then asks Anton to tell the fans who he is, and Anton says he is here to give every one of the fans "the clap" before The Network claps. Cyrus then tells Anton that he knows he is a fighter, but ever since he joined The Network, they have had "some action with the ladies," and he wants him to concentrate on being a lover and giving people "the clap." Cyrus then says that with the network, it is all about the ratings and that having two wrestlers with the same hair color is "a ratings killer." He then introduces Jerry Lynn - who is now back in action - to the ring for the next match.

Jerry Lynn beats Tajiri following interference from The Network (Cyrus, Steve Corino, Jack Victory, Scotty Anton).

Luger says he's always been a fan of the NBA, but he's kept an eye on Dennis Rodman to see how he moves and thinks after stepping into WCW's domain and humiliated him. Luger says he and The Giant want the first shot at Hogan and Rodman, and tells Rodman to get ready because he has no idea what he's stepping into.

Hall says it brings back memories seeing Flair get tossed around "like the dirtbag he is" after they gave him a reality check. Nash says that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper could only make him and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan go to sleep if they tied them up in recliners and had them watch his next movie. He and Hall then decide to put the tag team titles on the line, and want to defend them against Piper and Flair, joking that maybe they'll put one of their dialysis machines on the line in exchange. He then tells Piper that since he didn't retire like he told his son Colton he would, they will retire him themselves. Hall then declares Nashville, Tennessee to be nWo territory.

"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff show up. Hogan says that the "nWo World Heavyweight Championship" is on the line and The New World Order has Sting cornered, and calls Sting out so he can receive the whupping that he deserves. Bischoff says that Sting isn't here, and that if he was, they would make him worship the ground Hogan spits on. As Hogan says Sting wants to be like him, Sting pops out from the underside of the ring and points his bat at Hogan and Bischoff. Bischoff tells Sting to get down on his knees, and this Sting gets down on his knees, revealing that this Sting is a fake, and when Bischoff asks this Sting if he wishes he was half the man that Hogan is, he shakes his head yes.
