These are the WWE Raw after Backlash results from Knoxville, Tennessee. What did the May 11, 2026, episode have in store?
Bron Break secured a sloppy win over Seth Rollins at Backlash. Break followed the victory by being led by the rest of The Vision (WWE World Tag Team Champions Logan Paul and Austin Theory, and “The Oracle” Paul Heyman), to the ring to open the show with a promo. Heyman started by reminding the audience of those results and handing the mic to Theory. The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) heard their names out of his mouth and made an appearance.
The heated discussion was interrupted by Joe Hendry, who is milking all he can from his “Can We Fire Logan Paul?” song. The result was a six-man tag match, then and there. It was a run-of-the-mill match, leading to a surprise appearance from Rollins. He took care of Breakker, leading to his team’s demise.
WWE Intercontinental Champion Penta called “All Ego” Ethan Page to the ring. After pinning the champ in a multi-man tag match, Page was all too eager to request a title shot. “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev and “The Young OG” Je’Von Evans joined the fray, and a tag match was created. Rusev and Page versus Penta and All Ego was next. The Bulgarian was in control for the majority of the match, but The Young OG had a late babyface-comeback and finished it off with an OG Cutter.
WWE Women’s World Tag Team Champions, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella, and Paige, were called out last week by Judgement Day (Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez). The four, therefore, met up on Raw with microphones in hand. After a brief verbal back-and-forth, the fight was on, but WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan showed up for Judgement Day to give them the numbers advantage. The trio held titles, whether they owned them or not, above their heads to end the segment.
Iyo Sky versus Sol Ruca was next. Both women showed off numerous athletic spots, but didn’t have a great flow or chemistry. The finish was also entertaining, with Sky reversing Ruca’s finisher into a crucifix pinfall.
The Oba Femi Open Challenge continued. This week, general manager Adam Pearce had bad news: nobody in the back answered his call, so his challenge was cancelled. Femi ran to the back in a rage, grabbed Los Garzas (Angel and Berto), and brought them to the ring for a forced two-on-one handicapped match. As to be expected for quite a while, these open challenge matches are just glorified squash matches.
The next match featured “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio defending the AAA Mega Championship against “The Original” El Grande Americano. The match was mainly to set up the mask-versus-mask affair and the upcoming AAA event. “The Real” El Grande Americano got involved in this one, aiding Mysterio in his title defense.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion, “The OTC” Roman Reigns, accompanied by “Big” Jimmy Uso, came to the ring to call out “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu, who is supposed to acknowledge Reigns after losing to him at Backlash. The camera cut to “Main Event” Jey Uso trying to talk some sense into Fatu in the back, only to get knocked out by The Samoan Werewolf.
Fatu appeared through the gorilla and told Reigns to beat the acknowledgement out of him. No further words were spoken. The Samoan Werewolf knocked out Jimmy on his way to brawl the champ in the ring.
There was a short exchange before Reigns ended up with a steel chair, pummeling Fatu in the center of the ring. The writing appeared to be on the wall when the WWE World Heavyweight Champion set up for a spear, but it was reversed into the Tongan Death Grip. The OTC was thrown into the steel steps, then powerbombed through the announced desk.
They tried to trick the audience by playing the end credits and having Fatu hold the title. This led to another attack on the champ and The Usos, before going off the air.
These WWE Raw after Backlash results included the continuation of most of the major title storylines. The Vision is dealing with The Street Profits, Penta has a big target, and Fatu was unhinged at the expense of The Bloodline. Stay tuned to Stadium Rant for the latest WWE coverage.
