Tonight’s Monday Night RAW from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky features all the fallout from this past Saturday’s Backlash premium live event from the red brand’s perspective. The show also kicks off the road to this month’s Saturday Night Main Event, set for Saturday, May 24.
Backlash saw champions successfully retain their titles, Pat McAfee and Michael Cole earn the respect of The Ring General Gunther, and the highly anticipated WWE debut of one of the hottest free agents in wrestling today—Jeff Cobb.
On RAW, AJ Styles faces a familiar rival in The Judgment Day’s Finn Bálor, as he begins his quest for a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, currently held by Dominik Mysterio. This will mark their first singles encounter since Survivor Series WarGames in 2022.
Elsewhere, the women’s division heats up with a blockbuster tag team match, as WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY teams with Rhea Ripley to take on NXT’s Roxanne Perez and Giulia.
Here is everything advertised for tonight’s show:
WWE Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez and Giulia
AJ Styles vs Finn Bálor
The War Raiders vs American Made

I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
