WWE RAW Preview (January 26, 2026): Match card, news, timings & telecast details

This week’s Raw will set the stage for Royal Rumble 2026.

Following the conclusion of the January 24 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE will travel to Ontario to deliver the January 26 episode of Monday Night Raw. The show will feature the aftermath of SNME and will set the stage for the 2026 edition of the Royal Rumble PLE.

The January 26 episode of WWE Raw will air live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which means that the Red brand will return to its original time slot of 8 PM ET. Multiple top stars, including CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed, are being advertised for the show.

Let us now take a look at the detailed preview, along with the match card, timings, and telecast details for the Royal Rumble go-home episode of WWE Raw.

Announced for WWE Raw (January 26, 2026)

• Bron Breakker returns
• The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs Alpha Academy (Otis & Akira Tozawa) vs Los Americanos (Rayo & Bravo Americano) vs American Made (Brutus Creed & Julius Creed – Fatal four-way to determine the #1 Contenders for the World Tag team titles
• AJ Styles to appear
• Gunther interview ahead of Royal Rumble

Bron Breakker returns

Bron Breakker will make his return this Monday, just two weeks after being suspended indefinitely. GM Adam Pearce told Paul Heyman last week to bring Bron back following a mysterious phone call, courtesy of the Wiseman.

Pearce stated that he is not lifting the suspension, but wants to talk to Breakker “eye-to-eye, like a man.” Breakker was suspended after attacking Penta and Dragon Lee and putting his hands on the General Manager.

The New Day vs Alpha Academy vs Los Americanos vs American Made – Fatal four-way to determine the #1 Contenders for the World Tag team titles

During last week’s show, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods complained about Jey Uso‘s promo and asked for a Tag title shot against the current Champions. However, Pearce announced a fatal four-way match to decide the number one contenders for the title.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods), Alpha Academy (Otis & Akira Tozawa), Los Americanos (Rayo & Bravo Americano), and American Made (Brutus Creed & Julius Creed) will all compete in the fatal four-way to decide who gets the chance to take on the reigning Champion, The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso).

AJ Styles to appear & Gunther interview

After capping off his rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura in an incredible showdown at SNME, AJ Styles will appear this Monday ahead of the Royal Rumble. Styles is set to put his career on the line in a rematch against ‘The Ring General’ Gunther.’

With talks of his retirement in 2026 and rumors suggesting it could come at the Royal Rumble, Styles is looking to get the win back from Gunther, who sneakily picked up the victory in their first meeting two weeks ago despite initially tapping out, all thanks to the referee who missed the tapout.

Speaking of the Ring General, Gunther is set for a sit-down interview in Ontario ahead of his clash with Styles as he looks to retire another legend after spoiling the retirement match of Goldberg and John Cena in 2025.
