Here Are Your Key Moments From WWE Monday Night Raw For May 11, 2026

  • Roman Reigns opens the show, speaking with GM Adam Pearce about Jacob Fatu's actions at Backlash. Pearce says Fatu shouldn't be allowed on Raw after what he did. Reigns tells him that he was the one who allowed him into WWE, and he'll be the one to take him out.
  • The Vision come to the ring, and Paul Heyman says they're opening the show on a high note by insulting the Knoxville crowd. Heyman says that after Bron Breakker's big win, Seth Rollins proved he wasn't ready. Heyman says they're ready to expunge Rollins from the history of The Vision, and there's no reason for them ever again to mention him. Heyman turns the mic over to Austin Theory, who takes aim at the Street Profits. He says they keep putting their faces into their business, and they need the Tag Team Championships because Bianca Belair "can't pay the bills anymore." Before Theory takes aim at Joe Hendry, the Street Profits appear and come to the ring. Montez Ford says Theory's got a point, she can't take care of the bills anymore, but since she can't, he's here to beat them. Ford says they have one thought in mind: they want the Tag Team Championships and the smoke. Logan Paul says the Street Profits might be legendary in the tag team division, but they'll never beat The Vision. Paul asks who was ready before they were born, and before he can finish saying his name, Joe Hendry appears and begins singing "Can We Fire Logan Paul?" and the crowd continues to chime in.
  • Penta came to the ring to address the crowd, and said he has an issue with Ethan Page talking about him and his Intercontinental Championship. He tells Page to come up and face him. Page comes out and tells Penta that he's too busy hiding his identity for him to say it to his face. Page says he would challenge him but Penta was too afraid to face him. Penta tells him he's ready to fight him right now, but Page says he's not ready to go right now. He says that the Intercontinental Championship is the symbol of excellence in WWE, and that he wants his match at Saturday Night's Main Event. Rusev appears and tells Page that him getting a shot before him doesn't sit well with him. Rusev tells Page to tread lightly, but Page says he went to Pearce's office to set up the match but that Je'Von Evans told Pearce that Rusev couldn't beat him. Evans comes out to dispute this, but the four start tussling and the segment ends with Evans doing Penta's walk with him in the ring.
  • Brie Bella and Paige come to the ring to tell The Judgment Day they're ready for a fight, and they tell them to come to the ring. Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez come out, and ask them how they're enjoying their nostalgia tour. Perez says it used to mean something for her that Bella told her she'd carry on their legacy, but she said how dare you set the bar so low. Bella tells her that the only person more embarrassed is Perez' mom. Rodriguez steps in and tells them to just hand over the belts, because everyone is just waiting for Paige's next scandal. The four fight until Liv Morgan appears and helps dispatch the two.
  • Roman Reigns is backstage with Jimmy Uso, and he tells Roman that Jey is in the parking lot waiting for Jacob. Jimmy tells Roman to just move on, he won, just leave it alone, but Roman insists there has to be order. Roman wants Jacob to acknowledge him, and while Jimmy says he has a bad feeling, Roman says Jacob must do so or he's out of there.
  • The Street Profits are backstage with Jackie Redmond, and as they start talking, Seth Rollins appears and tells them if they're serious about winning the Tag Team Championships, they need to talk. Montez Ford says that while he is everything that people say he is, he also isn't to be trusted. Ford tells him they don't need his help, and he leaves, followed by Angelo Dawkins who shakes his head at Rollins.
  • Roman Reigns comes to the ring flanked by Jimmy Uso. Jey Uso tries to fend off Jacob Fatu, telling him if he does this, he's going to cause more problems for him and his family. Jaocb ignores Jey until Jey gets in front of him, telling him to be smart, but he attacks Jey and tells Roman he's going to have to beat the acknowledgment out of him. Jaocb then attacks Jimmy in the aisle way on his way to Roman. Roman and Jacob attack each other, and after Roman gets knocked down, he grabs a chair and begins hitting Jacob with it, beating him over and over. Roman prepares for a spear until Jacob hits him with a superkick followed by a Tongan Death Grip. Roman escapes and Jacob dives into him, tossing him around ringside and demanding to know what to acknowledge. Roman sets up for a Superman Punch but Jacob applies another Tongan Death Grip before putting him through the table. Jacob continues to attack Roman and the security teams, leaving the champion laying. As Jacob leaves the area, he runs back around and tackle Roman and The Usos through the guardrail and leaves them laying.

Jacob Fatu Fully Unhinged, Lays Waste To The Bloodline

It's not fully clear whether Jacob Fatu is a heel or not, but one thing is certain: He's gone fully off the rails. After a crushing loss to Roman Reigns at Backlash, the Samoan Werewolf has one thing on his mind, and that's the World Heavyweight Championship.

Jey Uso's words ring a little different, pleading with Jacob to approach this carefully, but it's not clear whether it's a warning to stop, or a warning to learn from his mistakes to properly beat Roman at his own game. Jey's the only one who's ever come close to beating Roman, so Jacob could take heed and give Main Event the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps find the keys to success together.

The AAA Mega Championship's First Defense On WWE Programming

It was a night of firsts for WWE tonight, and a first for AAA. The legendary Lucha Libre promotion saw its AAA Mega Championship defended on WWE programming for the first time, as Dominik Mysterio successfully retained the championship against Original El Grande Americano.

It's truly a new era when it comes to WWE's partnership with outside promotions, and the Vince McMahon days of exile and solitude from its competition are long over. AAA, now owned under the TKO banner, had its major introductory moment on Raw, and there's no better ambassador for this brand than Dominik Mysterio.
