Tag Team Chaos Expected on WWE Raw Tonight Before WWE Backlash

WWE RAW: WWE fans are in for an exciting episode of Monday Night Raw from the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, as we head into the go-home show for WWE Backlash 2025. With big names like Iyo Sky, Rusev, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch set to appear, the surprises could come fast and furious.

Here Are Four Possible Surprises for WWE RAW Tonight (May 5, 2025)

4. Lyra Valkyria Hits Back

After a chaotic confrontation with Becky Lynch last week, Lyra Valkyria will likely look to retaliate after being ambushed by Lynch. Valkyria will surely be out for revenge in Omaha with their Women’s Intercontinental Championship match on the horizon at WWE Backlash. Will she take down the WWE Raw Superstar tonight, or will Lynch find another way to get the upper hand ahead of their big showdown?

3. El Grande Americano Interferes

The backstage segment from last week between Chad Gable and Penta may set up a bitter fight between them. Gable mocked Penta for his brother Rey Fenix losing to El Grande Americano at WrestleMania and Penta responded with a brutal kick. The tension could now escalate with Americano’s interference in Penta’s match, furthering the storyline of mocking lucha libre. Will Americano target Penta tonight and could a new rivalry be brewing?

2. Tag Team Match at WWE Backlash?

After Iyo Sky saved Rhea Ripley from an attack by Roxanne Perez and Giulia, there’s a high probability of a tag team match at WWE Backlash. Giulia could interfere in Sky’s singles match against Perez tonight, with Ripley making the save. The stage may be set for an explosive team-up between Sky and Ripley to take on Perez and Giulia at the PLE, intensifying the feud ahead of their WWE Backlash 2025 encounter.

1. Sami Zayn Retaliates

After the brutal assault by Seth Rollins and his team last week, Sami Zayn is far from done. Zayn rejected Rollins’ offer to move to SmackDown and it’s clear that tensions are far from resolved. Rollins will appear on WWE Raw tonight, but don’t be surprised if Zayn storms the ring, ready to retaliate. With the absence of Roman Reigns and CM Punk at WWE Backlash 2025, could we see a Zayn vs. Bron Breakker match at the upcoming PLE? The storyline between Zayn and Rollins is about to get even more personal.
