Monday Night Raw Super Preview – May 18, 2026
WWE Raw heads to North Carolina this week as WWE builds momentum toward Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 23. Expect heavy Bloodline fallout, tag title action, and plenty of star power in what should be a stacked episode.
Check out the official lineup — every superstar announced, my predictions for who shines and who surprises, and our latest podcast with all the hot takes!
WWE Raw May 11, 2026 Lineup
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Brie Bella & Paige (c) vs. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez
Judgment Day has been aggressive toward the champions lately. With Liv Morgan potentially in their corner, this could get chaotic. Bella & Paige need to prove their return and title win at WrestleMania 42 wasn’t a one-off.
Oba Femi Open Challenge: (opponent TBA)
The dominant big man is still waiting for worthy competition after tossing around teams like Los Garza. Someone’s stepping up… right?
Expected Highlights & Storylines
Bloodline Drama: Jacob Fatu is in major trouble after refusing to acknowledge Roman Reigns, slapping Jey Uso, and putting Roman through a table last week. The full Bloodline (Reigns, The Usos, and possibly others) looks ready to address Fatu’s rebellion. This could explode into a big segment or brawl.
Featured Stars: CM Punk, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Logan Paul, Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Stephanie Vaquer, Penta, Gunther, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and more are expected to appear.
Other brewing angles: Sol Ruca vs. Becky Lynch buildup, JD McDonagh/Finn Balor tension, and the ongoing El Grande Americano mask storyline.
More matches and segments will likely be added in the coming days. This episode feels like a key bridge show heading into SNME.
