New Segment Revealed for January 26 WWE RAW

WWE has zero downtime, and the company is leaning into that reality with a news-driven update for Monday’s RAW. Ahead of the January 26, 2026 episode from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, WWE released footage featuring RAW General Manager Adam Pearce previewing what’s to come — and the biggest takeaway is clear: the focus is now firmly on the road to Royal Rumble.

The new update centers on AJ Styles and Gunther. Pearce revealed that Styles will be addressing his upcoming Royal Rumble match with the Ring General, with Gunther also part of the segment.

The rest of the show is also shaping up with purpose rather than filler. Bron Breakker is confirmed to be in the building, and Pearce has already told Paul Heyman he wants a face-to-face conversation with him.

Tag team chaos is also locked in. The New Day stepped up to answer The Usos’ open challenge for the World Tag Team Championship, but Pearce overruled the situation and instead announced a fatal four-way match to determine the next number one contenders.

Announced matches and segments for WWE RAW (January 26, 2026):

• AJ Styles and Gunther segment addressing their Royal Rumble match
• Bron Breakker appearance
• Adam Pearce and Paul Heyman face-to-face segment
• Fatal four-way tag team match to determine the next #1 contenders for the World Tag Team Championship (following The New Day answering The Usos’ open challenge)

Toronto is getting a RAW that’s built around momentum rather than placeholders, with multiple stories intersecting at once and Royal Rumble implications baked into the structure of the show.

Do you think WWE is setting up something bigger between AJ Styles and Gunther before the Royal Rumble, or is this just a standard preview segment? Drop your thoughts and let everyone know how you see this playing out.
