Bron Breakker talked a ton of trash at World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk in the weeks leading up to their title match on the first Raw of 2026. Bron was extremely confident that he was going to whoop the old man’s ass and take his championship, proving that he is ready to be the face of WWE today. But even though Breakker had major advantages in age and athleticism, he was ultimately knocked out by the GTS and pinned. The rest of The Vision tried to help Bron win, but they were neutralized by Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Penta. As a result, one of the matches announced for today’s Raw is Dragon & Penta vs. Bronson Reed & Austin Theory. There’s a rumor that LA Knight is in Germany, so perhaps this is where the megastar returns to get revenge on The Vision for injuring him last month. Punk and Breakker will definitely be in the building, at the very least, so we should find out their reactions to last week’s high stakes main event.

Becky Lynch is the new women’s Intercontinental Champion after proving that Maxxine Dupri’s win over her was a fluke all along. Also advertised for tonight is a match between Penta and Dragon Lee vs the Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory, and several speaking segments as Raquel Rodriguez is expected to address her unprovoked attack on WWE Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer, CM Punk will talk about maintaining his position at the top of the mountain, and new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky are set to open the show to celebrate their victory and determine what is next for the titles and Rhiyo.
