WWE Raw Match Card for January 26, 2026

Here are the matches and segments announced for tonight's show:

World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender's Match

The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) vs. Alpha Academy (Otis & Akira Tozawa) vs. American Made (Brutus & Julius Creed) vs. Los Americanos (Rayo & Bravo)

Four teams collide to determine the next challengers for The Usos' World Tag Team Championships. The New Day, five-time former champions, look to recapture gold they last held in December, while American Made returns to Raw television for the first time since July 2025.

AJ Styles Addresses the WWE Universe

The Phenomenal One has one final opportunity to speak before his career-defining match against Gunther at Royal Rumble. If Styles loses Saturday, he's forced to retire — making tonight's address potentially his last words before facing the Ring General in Saudi Arabia.

Exclusive Gunther Interview

The World Heavyweight Champion will sit down for an exclusive interview ahead of his high-stakes match with AJ Styles. Gunther has been dismissive of Styles throughout their rivalry, and expect him to deliver his trademark pointed commentary on what awaits this Saturday.

Bron Breakker Returns

The Big Bad Booty Nephew is back. Bron Breakker's return has been announced for tonight's show following his recent championship program with CM Punk. What does Breakker have in store for the Royal Rumble go-home show?

Key Storylines Heading Into Tonight

Tonight's Raw comes five days before Royal Rumble 2026, making this a critical episode for building toward the premium live event. With AJ Styles potentially wrestling his final match on Saturday, his address tonight could be his last chance to make a statement before putting his career on the line against Gunther.

CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul are all expected to appear tonight — each with major stakes heading into this weekend's Royal Rumble matches. Expect championship implications, Rumble positioning, and potential surprises as WWE sets the stage.

Road to Royal Rumble 2026

Royal Rumble 2026 takes place Saturday, January 31, at King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card features Drew McIntyre defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Sami Zayn, Gunther vs. AJ Styles with Styles' career on the line, plus the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches.

Confirmed Rumble entrants include Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa for the men's match, with Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Bayley, IYO SKY, and Lyra Valkyria among the women's competitors.
