For the second straight week, WWE Monday Night Raw airs live from Europe, and this time, the action comes from the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. With two major title matches featuring Irish WWE stars, the crowd is expected to be loud and passionate for what promises to be a memorable show.
This marks the second of three consecutive international episodes of RAW, part of WWE’s ongoing European tour, and it also marks a rare 3:00 p.m. ET start time for U.S. viewers—now airing exclusively on Netflix.

WWE Monday Night Raw Card – January 19, 2026
World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Bálor
This is the first-ever singles match between CM Punk and Finn Bálor, and it’s happening in Bálor’s home region. Despite being a heel, the Irish star is expected to receive a hero’s welcome in Belfast.
CM Punk, who defeated Bron Breakker in his last title defense on January 5, will now face a dangerous veteran who’s hungry for another world title run. With WrestleMania 42 around the corner, however, it seems unlikely that WWE will take the title off Punk just yet.
Prediction: CM Punk retains the World Heavyweight Championship
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri
Becky Lynch, another proud Irish superstar, defends her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against longtime rival Maxxine Dupri. The two have been locked in a bitter feud for months, and this could finally be the blowoff.
Dupri previously held the title after defeating Lynch, but Big Time Becks won it back and looks to finish the rivalry on home turf. While Maxxine has shown huge improvement in recent months, Belfast could be the stage for Becky’s final statement.
Prediction: Becky Lynch retains her Intercontinental Championship
Also Scheduled to Appear
