Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on January 19, 2026, coming to you live from the SSE Arena Belfast in Belfast, Northern Ireland at a special start time of 3 PM ET!
Two time Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch will be putting her title on the line tonight as she defends against former titleholder Maxxine Dupri. Not only was Dupri the one to dethrone Lynch during her first reign thanks to assistance from AJ Lee on the November 17 episode of "Raw", but Lynch won back the title from Dupri on January 5. Dupri also holds against Lynch via count out and disqualification respectively on the October 6 and 20 editions of "Raw".
Following his successful defense against The Vision's Bron Breakker on the January 5 episode of "Raw", CM Punk will be putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line once again tonight as he defends against Finn Balor of Judgment Day. Balor called his shot for a title match during last Monday's episode of "Raw", interrupting a promo from Punk who was looking to discuss what's next for him and making it clear he wanted to bring back some gold to Judgment Day.
Speaking of The Vision, Breakker's stablemates Austin Theory, Logan Paul, and Bronson Reed will be joining forces to take on Penta, Dragon Lee, and Rey Mysterio in a Six Man Tag Team Match. Tensions between the two parties have been on the rise over the course of the last few weeks, with Penta and Lee scoring a win against Theory and Paul via disqualification when Breakker became involved in matters and "Raw" General Manager Adam Pearce subsequently suspending him.
The newest member of the "Raw" roster Je'Von Evans has scored wins against Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano on the December 22 episode of "Raw" and last Monday's edition of the show respectively. Following those wins, Evans looks to officially say he holds a victory over all three members of Los Americanos when he goes head-to-head with Ray and Bravo's stablemate El Grande Americano.
Additionally, GUNTHER will be making an appearance on tonight's show after scoring a win against AJ Styles in the main event of last Monday's show during the first ever match between the pair.
We are live! Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet audiences at home as GUNTHER makes his way to the ring.
GUNTHER tells the live crowd to calm down, then says AJ Styles made a mistake last week by walking into their match last Monday with blinders on and was so focused on tap out. He then brags about lasting an hour and eleven minutes in the Men's Royal Rumble last year.
AJ Styles' music hits and he makes his way out. He demands a rematch against GUNTHER at WWE Royal Rumble, but GUNTHER promises to win the Men's Royal Rumble instead and declines Styles' challenge. GUNTHER looks to leave, but Styles tells him that he thinks GUNTHER is scared and says he should've ripped GUNTHER's leg off rather than showed him mercy. He reminds GUNTHER that he tapped out last week and only won because the referee didn't see, then says they can both move on if GUNTHER just admits that he's scared.
GUNTHER declines to face Styles at Royal Rumble once again and looks to leave, but decides to get back in the ring to ask a request of Styles. When Styles tells GUNTHER to name his request, GUNTHER says Styles has to put his career on the line to face him at Royal Rumble. He tells Styles to think carefully about his answer unless he's a little scared, then looks to leave.
