WWE Raw results: CM Punk saves Sami Zayn from being destroyed by Bronson Reed but pays a price later
Jey Uso and Sami Zayn teamed up on the latest episode of WWE Raw to take on the powerhouse duo of Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. The match proved to be a competitive affair with both sides giving a good account of their abilities. It, however, ended abruptly as Seth Rollins interfered and hit Jey with a curb-stomp. CM Punk saves Sami Zayn from the assault by Bronson Reed The latest episode of Raw, which came live from Tulsa, saw Bronson Reed return to in-ring competition for the first tim after suffering an injury last year. He teamed up with Bron Breakker to take on Sami Zayn and Jey Uso. The match started with 'The Badass' dominating Jey Uso, The World Heavyweight Champion, however, soon turned the tide and tagged in his Canadian partner. This set the stage for a fierce contest in which the babyfaces kept coming back despite being overpowered by their stronger opponents. The match broke down in the dying moments when Sami Zayn tried to take out Bron and Bronson with an aerial move but failed to pull it off. This prompted 'The Yeet Master' to make the save. Seth then interfered and hit Jey Uso with a curb stomp, causing a disqualification. After this, the heels turned their attention to Sami Zayn. Bronson Reed geared up to hit him with a tsunami through the announce table, which would have put him on the shelf, but Punk made the save. When did Bronson Reed return to WWE programming? Bronson Reed returned to WWE programming at Saturday Night's Main Event and helped Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins beat Punk and Zayn. The Australian powerhouse also cost the Canadian star an opportunity to qualify for the Money in the Bank match last week. Later on tonight's show, Seth's faction assaulted Jey Uso, Punk, and Sami Zayn and sent a clear message to the entire roster.

Rumor Roundup: Bronson Reed belief, WWE meeting, TNA mandates, more!
Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill. Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it's just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt. Rumors for the Day: On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said he believes Bronson Reed was added to Seth Rollins' group so he can take pins in the group's losses instead of Rollins or Bron Breakker. WWE held a mandatory Zoom meeting for all contracted talent recently, per PW Insider. Newer medical treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy were discussed in what was described as an informational session designed to help wrestlers make educated decisions about managing injuries and long-term health. TNA held their own meeting at their TV taping Saturday. Talent were given a memo announcing $100 fines for instances where slaps are used without an agent's approval, or for any throat-slashing gesture. The meeting was also to 'express unhappiness' that previous memos had leaked, then someone leaked that info and the new memo to Fightful Select. Fightful Select also reported that the outcome of the Double or Nothing main event was a closely guarded secret backstage at AEW, and talent were not informed ahead of time that Hangman Page was winning the Owen Cup. WWE was 'absolutely' interested in talking to Willow Nightingale had she not re-signed with AEW, says PW Insider. On The Bryan & Vinny Show, Bryan Alvarez said Hook 'was still getting evaluated' at Double or Nothing and that's why they have him 'do anything other than hitting a guy with a golf club' during Sunday night's Anarchy in the Arena match.

Just remember they are rumors and not confirmed as fact, so please take them as such. And check our weekly Rumor Look Back here to keep track of how often rumors turn out to be correct. More from

WWE Raw results, highlights (May 26): Seth Rollins qualifies for Money In the Bank
"WWE Raw" was in Tampa to follow Saturday Night's Main Event festivities, and the pro wrestling world needed some answers from Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman. The Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed supported group kicked off the night, as they remain the focal point of Monday's weekly program. Money In the Bank is right around the corner, and the rest of the ladder match participants are slowly getting determined, including the latest addition in Rollins. Advertisement Let's get into it. 🙄Plot hole(s) of the Night It's not a surprise that WWE won't explain why Reed is suddenly cool with Seth Rollins after trying to murder him the last time they were in the ring together. To start "WWE Raw," Paul Heyman did his best to surgically repair the loose puzzle pieces of this picture. Reed was proclaimed to have done more damage to Rollins in one night than Rollins' latest rivals could in several outings. That wasn't necessarily wrong, and it made sense why they would want to recruit someone like that. What doesn't make sense is why Reed would join the guy he tried to turn into a pancake. Heyman implied, without saying, that it was because Reed couldn't get a push thanks to how much fear he instilled in the roster and the old "PG era." OK, let's just accept all of that because we have to. It's not great, but it is what it is, and makes Reed look somewhat weak, or more so, low on confidence in his ability to get where he wants to be without help. Advertisement Meanwhile, Rollins utilized his mic time brilliantly as he typically does. He has had a weird relationship with the crowd since WrestleMania 41. He gets cheered upon arrival, then booed on the mic, and he pointed it out. The crowd seemingly started chanting just to chant because they called Rollins a sellout, which also makes no sense. Rollins played into it, stating facts before receiving a loud "F*** you." It was all a good diversion from a Reed explanation, let's put it that way. Things got even more convoluted when Rollins took on Sami Zayn and Finn Balor in their Money In the Bank triple-threat qualifier. Uncrowned readers know I'm never one to complain about a triple-threat match, and want to see them play out without interference. However, this was a very unique case where you had two members of stables (Rollins and Balor) involved. First of all, The Judgment Day gets involved in what feels like 99% of every match their members are in. Secondly, Rollins is essentially trying to run WWE, so why wouldn't he have Reed and Bron Breakker instantly aid him in attacking his opponents and getting the win? In terms of story beats, the match should have turned into an unofficial trios match of sorts with The Judgment Day helping Balor, and poor Zayn just taking his beating in the middle. (Because we know Jey Uso never cares about helping him.) Instead, the overbooking didn't come until the end of the match. Advertisement This was mostly a clean, brilliant triple-threat. Breakker and Reed finally showed up when Zayn almost had the match won, then Uso, surprisingly, tried to help, before Dominick Mysterio sent in a chair to help Balor. Well, that was the plan, anyway. But Mysterio "accidentally" slid it into place for Balor to take a stomp and eat the pin. CM Punk came out to close the show and hit Rollins with a GTS, so you have to assume he'll once again thwart Rollins' hopes of winning in the Money In the Bank match. Like this one though, Reed and Breakker should come out right away because they can. I'm OK with how it all played out — because it gave us some good wrestling to watch — but let's be honest, it actually doesn't make sense, which is kind of hilarious. 🔥Banger of the Night A triple-threat match every week should be mandatory. Money In the Bank season is just too good, and Penta vs. Dragon Lee vs. Chad Gable was as incredible as you'd expect. Advertisement These guys delivered what felt like a title match with their quick and hard-hitting moves. Thanks to the no-DQ nature of a three-way, El Hijo del Vikingo got involved ringside to stop his upcoming opponent, Gable. It didn't impact a potential win, really, but it helped tease their match. From Gable nearly breaking his neck when Penta carried both men, to Lee launching into Penta over the announce table. This match kicked all the ass, and Penta scored the win after the Penta Driver on Lee. Now I wish even more that Rey Fenix also qualified for the Los Angeles ladder match. 👍MONDAY NIGHT MONEY👍 1. Rusev (rightfully) squashed Akira Tozawa in no time at all, winning with The Accolade. If that Gunther feud I hoped for can't happen, the next best thing will be Sheamus, I suppose. The latter came out to confront the Belarusian and save Tozawa. 2. The New Day retained their World Tag Team titles in a triple-threat match against American Made and The War Raiders. It was fun, while not overly spectacular. The story was New Day and American Made working together before Xavier Woods ultimately pulled the tights mid-roll-up on one of the Creeds to get the pin. It feels like something is being delayed for The New Day, but it's hard to tell what. 3. Any time The Judgment Day shenanigans fail, it's a good result. That's precisely what happened in Liv Morgan's first match post-production of her new movie. Because of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez's curfuffle outside the ring, Morgan fell short via a roll-up to Kairi Sane. It was a solid first collision between the pair, and more importantly, it keeps the dissension building in Morgan's faction. 4. Give us what we want and push Karrion Kross, Triple H. The guy better join the crop of wrestlers in the Money In the Bank ladder match. 👎RAW DEAL👎 1. Netflix's involvement in WWE means Netflix promotional segments — like the quick plug for Tom Segura's new show Bad Thoughts. Bert Kreischer was by his side because he can't live without attention. A quick glance at the actors in the crowd is good enough. We don't need scripted interviews. 2. Jey Uso and Gunther had a very slow and repetitive promo battle. Uso honestly might have forgotten his lines, because it all felt off. Each world title's booking since WrestleMania 41 has been rough. Next, Uso and Cody Rhodes battle Logan Paul and John Cena in an utterly pointless tag team match at Money In the Bank. Gunther and Uso then rematch for the World Heavyweight title on the following "WWE Raw." Advertisement If ruining wrestling truly is the goal, like Cena says, then WWE is succeeding atop its billing. 3. Becky Lynch has received an Intercontinental title rematch against the champion Lyra Valkyria at Money In the Bank — by losing her Money In the Bank qualifier match last week. Valkyria tried to justify it with a promo, stating how personal it was for her. Sure. That doesn't make it make sense. On the flip side, Valkyria was brilliant with her time given. (Outside of her and Lynch starting to bring up their partners.) 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 Unfortunately, nothing overly stood out on this "WWE Raw," but we'll give some love to Miss Morgan. Advertisement Personally, I can't stand Morgan's character, and that's because she's so damn good at it. She plays her role oh so well, in and out of the ring. Morgan has become the central piece of The Judgment Day, and despite my hopes of a break-up sooner than now, WWE has actually crafted this slow dissolution, or change, quite cleverly. And that's thanks to Morgan. Morgan wanted a Money In the Bank qualifier match as one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions. So, it will be interesting to see if she still gets one after the loss to Sane. 👑 I give this "WWE Raw" a Crown score of: 6/10.👑

WWE Saturday Night Main Event: Full Recap And Highlights
TAMPA, FLORIDA - MAY 24: John Cena in action against R-Truth during Saturday Night's Main Event at ... More Yuengling Center on May 24, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Georgiana Dallas/WWE via Getty Images) WWE did a great job with Saturday Night's Main Event. It felt like an episode of Raw or SmackDown on steroids, and it went much deeper than I expected. Here's what happened. I had no interest in the winner of this match; I was waiting to see what the payoff would be, and it was worth the wait. We found out who Paul Heyman's third man would be, and it was Bronson Reed. In fact, it appears Rollins was the orchestrator of this union, which adds even more depth. Reed showed up and wrecked Punk with a Tsunami. Punk's sells were stellar too. Overall, this was an excellent opener to the show. I'm not gonna lie; I thought Vega was going to lose the title here. She didn't. Vega retained her title with a Super Code Red for the clean victory. Green is still awesome, and she worked through a busted nose at the end of the match. This was easily the weakest match of the night, but it is good to see Vega's reign last a bit longer. While short, this match was one of the highlights of the evening. Cena came out wearing his Farewell Tour garb, but in Tampa Bay Buccaneers colors. R-Truth followed him rocking a makeshift version of Cena's classic T-shirt—only it was an image of him on it and it said 'Ron' Cena. Truth came out to Cena's signature music, did his entrance, and during the match landed a 5-Knuckle Shuffle and an Attitude Adjustment. Cena got the win when he kicked Truth below the belt and landed his own AA. It was a great segment. If this is the end of the Priest-McIntyre feud, it was a violent conclusion. There were several hellacious spots, but the final blow was a concerto from Priest. He exited the cage while McIntyre sold the severity of the spot perfectly. Jesse Ventura was doing color commentating on the match, and it was pretty brutal. He didn't seem to know that the rules for a steel cage match are different today than they were in the 1980s. There were several other disconnected portions of the audio, thanks to his input. To close out the night, Uso retained his title, but not before Cena showed up and tried to help Paul win the title. When it looked like Cena had the tables turned in Paul's favor, Cody Rhodes' music hit and he came to the rescue. Rhodes then appeared to lock in a tag team match between him and Uso vs. Cena and Paul at Money in the Bank. I like the idea of Cena attempting to ruin wrestling by letting a YouTuber win the world title. Despite Rhodes' save on Saturday night, it feels like something that will happen at some point this year.
