WWE RAW Preview (January 19, 2026): Match card, news, timings & telecast details

Two marquee title clashes will take center stage on Raw in front of the Belfast crowd.

In its final stop on the European tour ahead of the Royal Rumble PLE, WWE will arrive in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to deliver the January 19 episode of Monday Night Raw. The SSE Arena in Belfast will play host to the show, which will feature two marquee title showdowns.

The European tour will conclude on January 20th with a House show in Belgium, as WWE travels to Canada for SNME. Multiple top stars, including CM Punk, Gunther, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Finn Balor, and Jey Uso, among others, are being advertised for the show.

As with last week’s episode, this week’s show will also air at a special early start time. Let us now take a look at the detailed preview, along with the match card, timings, and telecast details for the January 19 episode of WWE Raw.

Announced for WWE Raw (January 19, 2026)

• Becky Lynch (c) vs Maxxine Dupri – Women’s Intercontinental title match
• CM Punk (c) vs Finn Balor – World Heavyweight title match
• CM Punk, Gunther, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Finn Balor & Jey Uso are listed as featured superstars

Becky Lynch (c) vs Maxxine Dupri – Women’s Intercontinental title match

After multiple setbacks against Maxxine Dupri, Becky Lynch bounced back spectacularly to pin Dupri in their last encounter on the January 5 show. With the win, she regained the Women’s Intercontinental title, spoiling Dupri’s title reign in her second title defense.

Both women are now set to meet once again inside the squared circle in a rematch for the title. Dupri is looking to right the wrongs from their last encounter and further a 3–2 lead in the series against one of the greatest competitors in the division, while Lynch aims to even the score and prove her dominance once again.

CM Punk (c) vs Finn Balor – World Heavyweight title match

Finn Balor confronted World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk during last week’s show, asking for a title shot, which Punk immediately granted, but Balor wanted home-field advantage and instead wanted it in Belfast.

The Champion agreed, with the promotion later confirming the World Heavyweight showdown. This will be Punk’s second title defense, while Balor, who has vowed to bring the World title to the Judgment Day, will be battling for the World title for the first time since SummerSlam 2023.
