The February 9, 2026 edition of WWE Raw is coming into focus—and we now know exactly how the show kicks off.

According to Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, the night’s in-ring action will open with The Usos defending their WWE World Tag Team Championships against Alpha Academy’s Otis and Akira Tozawa. It’s a high-stakes title match to set the tone early.

Even more interesting, Hays also reports that Maxxine Dupri vs. Nattie is listed as the second match on the card, following The Usos’ opener. That puts the personal grudge match—sparked after Nattie’s betrayal last month—front and center in the first hour of the broadcast. Here’s how the early lineup is shaping up:

  • Becky Lynch opens the show (segment)
  • Match 1: The Usos (c) vs. Alpha Academy – WWE World Tag Team Championship
  • Match 2: Maxxine Dupri vs. Nattie
  • Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches (TBD placement)

WWE Raw kicks off at 8 PM ET on Netflix, broadcasting live from the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of this week’s show over in our WWE Monday Night RAW coverage hub

Do you think Maxxine will get revenge early in the show? Or is Nattie on a tear that Becky Lynch will have to deal with next? Drop your predictions in the comments.
