Major fallout from WWE Backlash 2026<\/a> will take place on WWE Raw live from the Food City Center in Knoxville, TN<\/a>, on Netflix at 8\/7c. Tampa, Florida, was not prepared for what they witnessed during the main event, as well as a huge announcement<\/a> that rocked the foundation of professional wrestling. However, there really is no rest for the wicked, as Monday Night Raw is back at it again this Monday night. Many matches and segments are booked for WWE Raw. Here\u2019s our full WWE Raw preview for May 11. 2026.<\/p>\n

WWE Raw Preview: Acknowledgment Ceremony and Tag Team Action<\/h2>\n

Jacob Fatu must acknowledge Roman Reigns after the \u201cTribal Chief\u201d beat the \u201cSamoan Werewolf\u201d at WWE Backlash.
\nBut Fatu\u2019s post-match hissy fit will earn him an admonishment from WWE Raw GM Adam Pearce. Reigns would probably lambast Fatu, too. But after the Tongan death grip he received at WWE Backlash<\/a>, we doubt he can talk.<\/p>\n

Women’s Tag Team Champions Brie Bella and Paige will face off with The Judgment Day, who are after a shot at their titles. Whilst men’s tag champs Logan Paul and Austin Theory bring major muscle to their showdown with The Street Profits. Joe Hendry acts as their – ahem – muscle.<\/p>\n

Talking of muscle, Oba Femi hosts another open challenge. Otis proved a worthy and meaty opponent last week<\/a>. Typically, challengers get bigger and bigger week by week. So don’t expect to see Luchahausen or the other mini Danhausens from WWE Backlash.<\/a> Having Femi’s mystery opponent each week to discuss on our WWE Raw preview will add some fun, talking points and unpredictability to proceedings.<\/p>\n
