Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage of WWE Raw, broadcast live from the SSE Arena Belfast in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on January 19, 2026, during a special start time of 3:00 PM ET!
Two-time Women’s Intercontinental champion Becky Lynch will defend her title tonight against former titleholder Maxine Dupri. Not only did Dupri lose the title from Lynch during his first reign thanks to the assistance of AJ Lee on the November 17 episode of “Raw,” but Lynch regained the title from Dupri on January 5. Dupri also held against Lynch on the October 6 and 20 editions of “Raw” by countout and disqualification, respectively.
CM Punk, who successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against The Vision’s Bron Breaker on the January 5th episode of Raw, will defend his World Heavyweight Championship once again tonight against Judgment Day’s Finn Balor. Baylor declared his shot at the title match during last Monday’s episode of “Raw,” interrupting a promo on Punk who was about to discuss what’s next, and making it clear that he intends to take home the gold on Judgment Day.
Speaking of The Vision, Breaker stablemates Austin Theory, Logan Paul, and Bronson Reed will join forces to take on Penta, Dragon Lee, and Rey Mysterio in a six-man tag team match. Tensions between the two sides have increased in recent weeks, with Penta and Lee scoring a victory over Theory and Paul by disqualification when Breaker was involved in an issue and then “Raw” general manager Adam Pearce suspended him.
Jevon Evans, the newest member of the “Raw” roster, scored wins over Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano on the Dec. 22 episode of “Raw” and last Monday’s show, respectively. Following these wins, Evans intends to publicly announce that he has defeated all three members of Los Americano in a matchup with Ray and Bravo stablemate El Grande Americano.
Additionally, Gunther will appear on tonight’s show after winning his first match against AJ Styles in the show’s main event last Monday.
It’s live! Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet the crowd at home as Gunther heads to the ring.
Message from Gunther
Coach Gunther told the live crowd to calm down and then said that AJ Styles entered the match blindfolded last Monday and made a mistake by focusing too much on tapping out. And he boasted that last year’s men’s Royal Rumble lasted an hour and 11 minutes.
AJ Styles’ music hits and he walks out. He demands a rematch with Gunther at the WWE Royal Rumble, but Gunther refuses Styles’ challenge, promising to win the men’s Royal Rumble. Gunther tries to leave, but Stiles says he thinks Gunther is scared and says he should have ripped Gunther’s leg off instead of showing mercy. He reminds Gunther that he only won because he tapped out last week and the referee wasn’t looking, and says that if Gunther admits he’s scared, they can both move on.
Gunther refuses to face Styles again at the Royal Rumble and attempts to leave, but decides to return to the ring to pursue Styles’ request. Styles asks Gunther the name of the request, and Gunther says that Styles would have to put his career on the line to face him at the Royal Rumble. He tells Stiles to think carefully about his answer unless he’s a little scared, and turns to leave.
