The Royal Rumble fallout show featured multiple returns.
The February 2 Royal Rumble fallout episode of Monday Night Raw emanated from the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Along with the aftermath of the PLE, the show featured the return of LA Knight, Brie Bella, and Roman Reigns.
Former NXT Champion Oba Femi also made his debut, taking out the War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) in dominant fashion. Je’Von Evans defeated El Grande Americano, while Penta defeated Bronson Reed via countout after LA Knight attacked Reed.
Dragon Lee attacked Gunther after the latter continued to badmouth his former tag partner, AJ Styles. However, Gunther wound up on top, putting Lee to sleep with a vicious sleeper hold. Stephanie Vaquer pinned Raquel Rodriguez to win the Philadelphia street fight for the Women’s World title.
In the final segment of the show, the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk engaged in a heated promo, which ended with Reigns picking Punk as WrestleMania 42 opponent.
