The January 19, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw is shaping up to be a very exciting show with a great lineup. That’s why fans can expect several strong matches, major moments, and important updates to current storylines as we head towards the Royal Rumble.
CM Punk will put the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Finn Bálor. Bálor demanded this match last week on Raw, and he has the home-field advantage, so it remains to be seen whether he can pull off the upset win somehow.
Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri run it back with the Women’s Intercontinental Title on the line this week on Raw. It’s clear their feud is far from over, so we’ll have to wait and see whether Lynch will retain the title and get rid of Maxxine once and for all.
GUNTHER will be kicking off Raw this week, coming off his recent win over AJ Styles. With the Royal Rumble less than two weeks away, fans are wondering whether the Ring General will declare himself for the Royal Rumble match.
Je’Von Evans will be duking it out with El Grande Americano in singles competition. Finally, Rey Mysterio, Penta & Dragon Lee will square off against the Vision in a 6-man tag team match.
Tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW will be one to remember. With the likes of CM Punk and more being present for the show, it’s certain fans wouldn’t want to miss out. Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of this week’s show over in our WWE Monday Night RAW coverage hub.
