WWE’s January international tour continues with Monday Night Raw coming live from Belfast, Northern Ireland, at a special start time of 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT on Netflix. This episode is packed with high stakes, featuring two major championship matches, a high-profile six-man tag team match, and more.
With the Royal Rumble rapidly approaching, WWE is set to build momentum as both men’s and women’s superstars start declaring for the Royal Rumble match. Here’s a look at what to expect on this exciting go-home show ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Championship Matches: A Night of High Stakes
- CM Punk (c) vs. Finn Bálor – World Heavyweight Championship Match
The World Heavyweight Championship is on the line in a thrilling singles match between the defending champion CM Punk and challenger Finn Bálor. Bálor enters 2026 with renewed ambition and will look to capture the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his career. Punk, the current champion, will be determined to retain his title and continue his reign. This match promises to be a hard-fought contest as both men strive for glory. - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri – Intercontinental Championship Match
Becky Lynch will defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri in what promises to be a fiery rematch. Lynch recently regained the title from Dupri in a controversial fashion, but now she’ll have the chance to prove herself and potentially put Maxxine behind her for good. The build-up has been intense, and with both women’s stakes high, this match could be a show-stealer.
Six-Man Tag Team Action: The Vision vs. Mysterio’s Team
- Rey Mysterio, Penta, and Dragon Lee vs. The Vision (Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul w/ Paul Heyman)
The six-man tag team match will feature some of WWE’s biggest names. Rey Mysterio, Penta, and Dragon Lee will team up to face The Vision trio, consisting of Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul, with Paul Heyman accompanying them. This clash promises intense action and drama, especially with The Vision looking to make a statement before their next big match. With Bron Breakker still suspended, Logan Paul and his team are sure to make things as chaotic as possible.
Je’Von Evans vs. El Grande Americano
- Je’Von Evans vs. El Grande Americano
Je’Von Evans, one of the most exciting rising stars in WWE, will go one-on-one with El Grande Americano in a singles match. Evans is coming off an impressive victory over Bravo Americano last week and will look to continue building momentum against another formidable opponent. Americano will be eager to get back on track and prove himself as a worthy competitor.
Gunther Kicks Off Raw
- Gunther opens the show
Gunther, the Intercontinental Champion, will kick off Raw with what promises to be a must-see segment. After his victory over AJ Styles and continued dominance, Gunther will likely make his presence felt and set the tone for the evening. Whether he’s calling out an opponent or making a bold statement, you can bet that Gunther will steal the spotlight.
Key Storylines Heading into Raw
- Suspension of Bron Breakker
WWE General Manager Adam Pearce has been vocal about Bron Breakker’s indefinite suspension. However, Paul Heyman has raised concerns about a potential technicality, suggesting that Pearce may have made first contact with Breakker during last week’s Raw. If this detail holds weight, WWE management could be forced to review Pearce’s actions, possibly complicating matters even further. - Royal Rumble Build-Up
With the Royal Rumble around the corner, expect more superstars to declare their entry into the Men’s and Women’s Rumble Matches. As the Rumble approaches, WWE will continue to build hype for the road to WrestleMania 42.
