There&#8217;s a lot to preview outside of just the WWE Raw match card.<\/p>\n<p>Things heat up as we approach Money in the Bank with the men&#8217;s WWE Raw qualifiers beginning. WWE Raw streams on <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/browse\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Netflix<\/a> at 8PM from the Yeungling Center in Tampa, FL.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s our full WWE Raw preview.<\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WWE Raw Match Card (5\/26\/25)<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">World Tag Team Championship: The New Day vs. War Raiders vs. American Made <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rusev vs. Akira Tozawa <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MITB Qualifier: Sami Zayn vs. Finn B\u00e1lor\u00a0vs. Seth Rollins <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MITB Qualifier: Chad Gable vs. Penta vs. Dragon Lee<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Men Get Money In The Bank Shot<\/h3>\n<p>The Money in the Bank briefcase would be the perfect accessory for Seth Rollins as the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/04\/23\/bron-breakker-and-seth-rollins-new-dangerous-duo-of-wwe\/\" target=\"_self\">\u201cfuture of WWE\u201d<\/a>. A guaranteed title shot to go with the backing of Bron Breakker, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/05\/26\/why-bronson-reed-is-the-perfect-third-man-for-rollins\/\" target=\"_self\">newly-acquired Bronson Reed<\/a> and Paul Heyman would be the biggest hand anyone has ever held in WWE.<\/p>\n<p>Sami Zayn and Finn B\u00e1lor will hope to overcome the odds and win the triple-threat match. Both could do with a guaranteed title shot.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chad Gable will hope to overcome his luchador curse with some serious immersion therapy in his MITB qualifier against Penta and Dragon Lee.<\/p>\n<h3>WWE Raw Rest Of Match Card<\/h3>\n<p>Elsewhere, don\u2019t forget to run a sweepstake on how long Akira Tozawa lasts against Rusev. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/04\/28\/does-rusev-have-a-secret-wwe-raw-tag-team-partner\/\" target=\"_self\">Could Otis play a role?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>WWE&#8217;s four biggest stars are set for a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/05\/24\/cody-rhodes-returns-on-wwe-saturday-nights-main-event-return-match-confirmed-for-money-in-the-bank-2025\/\" target=\"_self\">Money in the Bank tag team match<\/a>. John Cena will team with Logan Paul to face Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/05\/23\/the-wyatt-sicks-returns-wwe-smackdown\/\" target=\"_self\">Wyatt Sicks return<\/a> will spark more interest in SmackDown&#8217;s tag division which hosted the match of the year with the post-WrestleMania TLC contest.<\/p>\n<p>All this makes it a little hard to get too excited about WWE Raw&#8217;s World Tag Team Championship division. The three best teams, who it feels like have been fighting each other too much this year, face this week. The mild negativity towards New Day vs. War Raiders vs. American Made will almost certainly make it an absolute banger.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing booked for the women at the moment. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/05\/21\/flight-of-the-valkyria-how-lyra-ascended-wwe-roster\/\" target=\"_self\">Lyra Valkyria could continue her ascent on WWE Raw<\/a> with another showdown with Becky Lynch.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saturday Night&#039;s Main Event: May 24, 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XHr0QJjEaiI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on WWE and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
