WWE Monday Night Raw Review. 19.5.2026.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

The Bloodline Saga Kick Off The Show.

Adam Pearce was in for hell of a night, and it started off greating Roman when he got out of his hummer. Adam told Roman that after last week Jacob needs to be let go. Roman told Adam that he only wants 2 minutes with his cousin. In the background Jacobs music started to play, because he was on his way out to the ring. Jacob called him out, but all he got was The Usos. Big Jim talked some truth, as the look on Jacobs face rose from annoyed to anger. He attacked Jimmy applying the Tongan Deathgrip around his throat. Jey tried to help by smacking Jacob with a chair, only for Jacob to turn on him, and the look on Jeys face said that he messed up. Roman made the save, and his cousins took over. Roman left, and Jacob was left in muddle in the middle of the ring. Adam stood with Roman at the top of the rampway, trying to keep the peace, and Jacob then issued the Challenge of Tribal Warfare, as Roman looked on with concern on his face. I loved this opening. It got straight to the point, and it made Jacob look weak, which is something that this feud has needed from the start.

Superstar Arrivals.

Seth Rollins. Oba Femi, and. The Judgement Day were all see showing up to work for there shifts.

Finn Balor vs JD Mcdonagh Street Fight.

This Match pretty much examplified my issues with this stipulation. This Match didn't feel very original, and it's not the fault of the performers, it's the fault of the bookers. Let me explain. I'm not saying that we should go back to the days of Randy Orton vs Mick Foley, of Cactus Jack vs HHH, but this stipulation has become incredibly predictable, and stagnant. Because if you watch a Street Fight if it's on a PLE or standard TV, they all feel the same. This stipulation needs a new flow of blood. This Match fell into all of these traps, and it was sad to see. Finn got the win, and at this point I just want this feud to come to an end.

Seth Rollins Segment.

Kathy Kelley was backstage interviewing Seth Rollins, and I got the feeling that he's not done with The Vision ( sigh ) and he wants another run against Bron Breakker. Put Paul Heyman has other ideas, and puts Austin Theory in his place. This is another feud that needs to just stop.

Becky Lynch And Sol Ruca Segment.

Byron Saxton was backstage interviewing Sol Ruca, that was until Becky lynch turned up. This was a tease for something that I want to see, but we didn't get it last night, because it's coming at SNME. Sol Ruca vs Becky Lynch for the WWE Womens Intercontinental Championship, yes please WWE. There in ring promo was decent.

OG Elgrande Americano and The Credo Brothers vs Los Americanos And Elgrande Americano.

I'm not going to lie. I'm not the biggest fan of AAA because I just don't get time to watch it, but this feud is one of the best things going in all of Pro Wrestling, because it's just a lot of fun. Los Americanos and Elgrande got the win. 

I'm Hungry. 

I've got a ritual before I sit down to watch AEW, and. WWE on weekday mornings. I go downstairs and make my breakfast of Toasted Sausage and Bacon Bagels. We don't have Doordash in the UK so I have to use my imagination. I do love a nice Bagel, and then washed down with Cherry flavoured Lucozade. I know what you're all thinking. Patrick do you like the thought of grease? Well yes.

LA Knight Is Back.

LA Knight is back, and he's annoying The Usos, and you know what i've missed this man. Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah.

Ethan Page Gets Interviewed My Michael Cole.

I didn't like this. It didn't offer anything new, and was completely pointless. I normally like these type of segments, but this one missed the target.

Roxanne Perez And Raquel Rodriguez vs Paige And Brie WWE Tag team Championship.

I didn't like this. The in ring work felt flat, and incredlibly pedestrian. The Champs retained, and the beatdown angles from Liv Morgan, and. Bayley and. Lyra that came after was another predictable thing that happened on this broadcast.

Oba Femi Open Challenge.

I hated this. Look this is nothing against Oba Femi, because you guys know my thoughts on Brock Lesnar. Brock vs Oba at Clash In Italy. Oba deserves better than this. In the aftermath of there WrestleMania Match. Brock left his gloves in the ring, which signalled the end of his career, and I was one of them that bought into this. However there were people in the Pro Wrestling media like Dave Meltzer, and Sean Ross Sapp, who both said that this could be a roose, and they were right. I think he will bow out at Summerslam which is in his home of Minnesota this year against Gunther. I personally don't care for Brock due to the alligations that are against his name.

Seth Rollins vs Austin Theory.

You guys know that i'm going to give you my honest thoughts, and opinions. This Match was terrible, but it did have it's promises, for instance Bron vs Seth needs a round two, because even though i didn't like their first Match, other fans did like it, so you could make the arguement that the storyline needs to continue. On the other hand we've got the seperation of The Street Prophets, which is a move that WWE has needed to make for sometime. The Match however was an under booked disaster that fell into the path of obscurity, and overall predictability. Seth got the win, and the aftermath left me feeling baffled, because it was a painful build to what we might get at Clash In Italy. This to me was a copmplete misfire, and it never recovered.

Overview Of This Weeks WWE Monday Night Raw.

This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw was a complete letdown, with minor things that I enjoyed. Roman Reigns, and. Jacob Fatu's rivalry got to a good stage, and LA Knight coming back after a break can only be seen as a good thing in my opinion. This was a newsworthy episode of weekly TV, but at what cost did it come at. This wasn't for me.

This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw is  4/10.
