WWE Monday Night Raw Review 12.5.2026.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Superstars Arrivals.

Paige and Brie. Oba Femi. Iyo Sky. The Street Profits, and Joe Hendry were all seen showing up to work.

Roman Reigns shows up.

As the show was starting to wake up, a hummer was seen entering the arena back entrance, and it was dropping off My Tribal Chief. And he was missing his belt, and at that point Adam Pearce came across like a high maintenance diva. CAN SOMEONE GET ROMAN HIS BELT. This would kick off an excellent episode long storythread.

The Vision Segment And Impromptu Match.

I'm going to say it. This was a mixed bag. From Paul Heyman welcoming us to Monday Night Raw from an inbread town like Knoxsville Tennesse. He went straight to business and said that after Saturday night, his crew are done with Seth Freakin Rollins. And then just like that, this segment went off the rails. Austin Theory took to the mic, and started to insult Bianca Belair, this brought out The Street Profits. Montez Ford then stood up for his wife, and said that he's having to step in because she's at home pregnant with there first kid. Joe Hendry then seranaded the fans, so everyone singalong. Paul. Paul. Can we fire Logan Paul, this led to an impromptu Match, between The Vision and. Street Profits And Joe Hendry. I liked the Match, because the Matches within the Match got straight to the point. The Street Profits and  Joe Hendry got the win, thanks to Seth Rollins. I liked the Match, however the promotrain that came beforehand was woeful.

Adam Pearce Segment.

As the weeks go on, i'm convinced that Adam Pearce is Pro Wrestling answer to Rodney Dangerfield, because he just gets no respect. First the OG Elgrande Americano, and his band of merrymen, and then Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. This man can't catch a break.

Penta Segment.

This Segment, oh my, were do I begin. Because this promotrain between Penta. Ethan Page. Rusev, and. Jevon Evans was beyond bad. However it did lead to a great impromtu Match between Rusev, and. Jevon Evans. I liked this, because it was the perfect balance between both mens movesets. Jevon got the win, and Penta will face Rusev at SNME next Saturday.

Asuka Passes The Torch To Iyo Sky.

WWE Failed to explain what is going on with Asuka, so i'm going to do my best to do what they should've done. Asuka has moved into semi retirement, and it's unclear what her future looks like. I think she's still under a WWE Contract so I can't see her signing for AEW. So I hope that clears things. I think this is a another TKO move.

Brie And Paige Segment.

I liked this. They went straight to business, and called out Roxanne Perez, and Raquel Rodriguez, and this when the segment shifted gears. From Brie putting over her disapointment when it came to the advice that she gave Roxanne, all those years ago, to Raquel giving us some unwanted memories when it came to Paige's first WWE run. This led to an all out fight, as Liv Morgan attacked Paige. This is clear direction for the summer. Paige vs Liv Morgan could headline Monday Night Raw when it heads to The 02 in late June.

Iyo Sky vs Sol Ruca.

It's no secret that i'm a big fan of Sol Ruca, and this Match has proved my point. I Think Sol Ruca is going to be a breakout star on the Main Roster. The chemistry that both ladies showed last night was excellent. This was a clever piece of  tv booking. Iyo got the win after she moved away from Roca's Soul Snatcher finisher. Sol looked awesome in defeat.

Oba Femi Open Challenge.

Adam Pearce tried to stop this, because apparently no one wants any of Oba's smoke. So Oba went on a wrecking mission, and he destroyed Los Gaza. RIP Lads.

Dirty Dominik Mysterio vs Elgrande Americano AAA Championship.

This was nonstop chaotic fun. From interference spots. Jd Mcdonagh getting decked by Fin Balor, and a hole load of shenanigans, this was a lot of fun. Dom retained. Mask vs Mask in a couple of weeks. I can't wait.

Roman Reigns Segment.

This was well crafted, and superbly put together. From the split film image that ocustomed Jacob, and Roman, at one point, to The Uso's Jacod, and Roman putting over the urgentcy of the occassion, which led to Jacob walking through his cousins with ease to get to Roman. This led to both men having a fight, complete with the Tongan deathgrips, and Roman getting put through the announcers table, and then getting bulldozed through the barricade with his family by Jacob. This was a sensational way to end the show.

Overview Of WWE Monday Night Raw.

This weeks Monday Night Raw was all over the place. The in ring work went from good to great, whilst the promos went from poor to great. Make what you will of this broadcast, because I liked this in moments.

This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10.
