Event Recap
The May 12, 2025 episode of WWE Raw had that post-Backlash reset energy, but instead of easing into things, it came out swinging with a mix of strong in-ring action and the usual dose of chaos that never quite stays contained. The night revolved heavily around the ongoing war between Seth Rollins’ group and the unlikely alliance of CM Punk, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn, with multiple confrontations breaking out and never really settling into anything clean, which at this point feels intentional but also a little repetitive. Penta picked up a slick win over Chad Gable in a technical sprint that ended with a Mexican Destroyer, continuing his steady climb as one of the more exciting pieces on the roster. The Creed Brothers got a win over the War Raiders thanks to interference from The New Day, because apparently no tag match is allowed to just end normally anymore. AJ Styles vs. Finn Bálor delivered exactly what you’d expect—two veterans going all out—with Styles pulling out the win after surviving a back-and-forth fight that easily could’ve headlined. Becky Lynch also grabbed the mic and reminded everyone she’s not going anywhere quietly, even in defeat, adding some edge to the women’s division. The main event saw IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley take down Roxanne Perez and Giulia in a fast-paced tag match that doubled as a showcase for the newer faces, though a miscue between Perez and Giulia ultimately handed Ripley the opening to finish it with the Riptide. It was a busy show that leaned hard into faction warfare and interference, maybe a little too hard, but the in-ring quality carried it—Raw felt energetic, even if it occasionally felt like it was trying to do three weeks of TV in one night.

Summary
Penta and Chad Gable opened with a match that felt more competitive than it probably needed to be, but in a good way. Gable leaned hard into technical control early, grounding Penta and trying to slow the pace, while Penta kept forcing things back into his comfort zone with sharper, more explosive offense. Ivy Nile hovering at ringside didn’t exactly help keep things clean, but Penta never fully lost focus. Once he found an opening, he hit his flip piledriver and ended it decisively. It wasn’t perfect, but it had enough bite to stand out on a show that didn’t always hit that gear.
Summary
This was a straight-up power match, with both teams trying to out-muscle each other instead of getting fancy. The Creed Brothers came in with a more structured approach, tagging frequently and keeping control when they could, while the War Raiders leaned into chaos and big bursts of offense. Erik and Ivar had moments where it looked like they might run away with it, but the Creeds stayed disciplined and waited for their chance. When it came, they took it and finished things clean. It wasn’t flashy, but it was physical and direct, which honestly worked better than overcomplicating it.

Summary
AJ Styles and Finn Bálor delivered the closest thing to a traditional “big match” on the show, with both guys keeping things tight and deliberate. Bálor had Judgment Day lurking nearby, which added that constant sense that things could go sideways, but the match itself stayed mostly focused. Styles worked a steady pace, picking his spots instead of rushing, while Bálor mixed in quicker offense to keep him off balance. Eventually, outside involvement tipped things just enough for Styles to capitalize and get the win. It didn’t quite hit classic territory, but it was easily one of the more complete matches of the night.
Main Event
Summary
This tag match had a little bit of everything without completely falling apart, which is honestly a win given how much talent was packed into it. IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley worked surprisingly well together, balancing speed and power, while Roxanne Perez and Giulia focused more on quick tags and trying to isolate one opponent at a time. The pacing stayed steady, with momentum shifting just enough to keep it interesting without getting messy. In the end, Ripley and IYO closed it out and got the win. It wasn’t overloaded with nonsense, just a solid tag match that actually got time to breathe.
