Live Report of WWE Raw February 2, 2026

WWE Raw starts on Netflix!

The show begins with a furious Bron Breakker destroying the commentator's table. Breakker confronts Corey Graves and Michael Cole before flipping the table. After that, Bron demands a microphone from one of the production members. Breakker steps into the ring to address the General Manager of the brand. "Adam Pearce!, do you want to ruin my moment at Royal Rumble?!", asks Bron as his Vision teammates enter the ring to try to calm him down. Bron threatens Pearce to ruin his show, just as he ruined his participation in Royal Rumble.

Paul Heyman speaks up to make it clear that Bron is not to blame for anything. On the contrary, he is a victim. Heyman assures that Pearce is lying when he says he doesn't know the identity of the attacker, as the General Manager had access to the passports of all the talents who traveled to Saudi Arabia. Bron once again takes the microphone to demand the presence of the General Manager. To do this, he starts a threatening countdown.

Pearce appears on the entrance ramp. Protected by a small army of security guards, Adam addresses Bron to mock him and his threats. After that, he makes it clear that he does not know the identity of his attacker. Also, the last time he saw a hooded figure, it was Austin Theory. Bron turns to the latter, doubting him. Pearce continues to rub salt in the wound. "I'm going to give you a gift. I'm going to let you keep your job after your lamentable performance at the Rumble", says the General Manager. Furious, Breakker goes after Pearce. Heyman and Reed try to stop him.

LA Knight's theme music starts playing!

Bronson and Bron wait for "The Megastar" in front of the security guards, but the former United States Champion appears in the ring. Armed with a metal chair, he attacks Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Reed runs towards the ring, but LA Knight escapes in time. Satisfied, "The Megastar" leaves through the audience area. Breakker regrets what happened. Bron turns around, only to find that Pearce has also left. "What are we doing? What are we going to do? What are we doing, man?", Breakker asks Heyman before ordering the security members to let him through. And so we reach the end of this impromptu segment.

We see a video recap of Royal Rumble.

We see the arrival of some of tonight's protagonists at the venue: Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, and Gunther.

Je'Von Evans vs. El Grande Americano (with Bravo and Rayo Americano)

El Grande Americano throws his cape at his opponent's face to surprise him with a rain of attacks. Evans quickly responds. Je'Von connects two dropkicks to the masked wrestler. The latter dodges a corner splash to counter with a right hook. Evans falls to ringside, where El Grande Americano continues to punish him.

Je'Von uses his speed to turn the situation around. Evans throws his rival out of the ring before diving onto him with a tope. The power of the jump causes the young talent to land face-first on the ground. Je'Von brings the masked wrestler back into the ring. Bravo assists his leader by the ropes. Meanwhile, Rayo grabs one of Evans' legs to make him fall. Je'Von tries to unmask Rayo, a moment that El Grande Americano takes advantage of to surprise his opponent with a Drive-By Dropkick.

The masked wrestler takes his rival back into the ring, where he applies a body drop. El Grande Americano continues to punish Je'Von, catching him in a headlock on the canvas. Evans tries to surprise his opponent with a sunset flip, but ends up receiving a tremendous right hook against the canvas.

The masked wrestler uses the ropes to continue punishing his rival. Evans and El Grande Americano exchange chops. Je'Von corners his opponent in one of the corners, where he unleashes a rain of attacks. The referee is forced to intervene.

Evans performs a flashy tornado kick on El Grande Americano, followed by a handspring enzuigiri. Je'Von continues to attack the masked wrestler, Evans jumps on him, but he catches him in mid-air to apply a painful submission hold. El Grande Americano traps him in a sleeperhold, but Evans takes him to one of the corners to free himself. Je'Von kicks him before executing a Coast to Coast. 1..2..NO.

Evans climbs one of the corners. Rayo distracts the referee so that Bravo pushes Je'Von off the corner. Rayo hands a metal plate to El Grande Americano. Suddenly, The Original El Grande Americano appears on the entrance ramp! The referee notices the plate and easily snatches it from a distracted El Grande Americano. He starts arguing with the official when he is surprised with a running kick from Je'Von. An OG Cutter ends the match. 1..2..3.

Winner: Je'Von Evans

The Original El Grande Americano continues to pose on the entrance ramp while Los Americanos taunt him from the ring. And so we reach the end of this segment.

We see a video recap of the NXT talent's participation in Royal Rumble.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) make their entrance through the crowd. The Samoans interact with the fans before taking the mic. Jimmy points out that next week they will defend the World Tag Team Championships against Alpha Academy. Jey, on the other hand, wants to congratulate Roman Reigns on his victory at Royal Rumble, encouraging him to win a new world championship at WrestleMania 42. "We love you! We are proud of you, Uce! Get that championship! Four letters! One word! YEET!", exclaims Jey before leaving with his brother. The Usos return to interact a bit more with the audience as the segment comes to an end.

AJ Styles' theme music starts playing!

Fans go wild, but soon start booing when Gunther appears on stage. The Austrian mocks "The Phenomenal One" by imitating his entrance. "Phenomenal" gives way to "Symphony No. 9 in E Minor". Gunther performs his traditional entrance. The Austrian takes his time while enjoying the audience's hatred. "Fuck you, Gunther!", they shout. "You gave up!", they continue. "As it happened with Goldberg, as it happened with John Cena, AJ Styles discovered that when you're in the ring with The Career Killer, your career and legacy die", says Gunther to continue his promo in German.

Furious, Dragon Lee bursts onto the scene. The masked wrestler runs towards the ring. Gunther approaches the ropes, only to receive the impact of an enzuigiri! Lee jumps on the Austrian with a diving crossbody to continue his assault, which takes them both to ringside. "The Ring General" hits the timekeeper's bell against the Mexican to stop him. After that, he catches him in a Gojira Clutch. Several officials have to intervene to rescue the masked wrestler. Gunther returns to the ring while Lee is attended to. Suddenly, Gunther approaches the ropes to catch him again in a Gojira Clutch. After a few moments, Lee stops fighting, a sign that he has lost consciousness. Gunther releases him. The Mexican collapses to the ground. "The Ring General" picks up his jacket to return backstage to a loud booing. And so we reach the end of this segment.

Paul Heyman approaches Adam Pearce backstage. Heyman orders the General Manager to schedule a one-on-one between Bron Breakker and LA Knight for tonight. "Please, sir," he adds. Pearce informs him that it will not be possible because he has ordered LA Knight to leave the premises. Adam cannot allow anyone to disrupt the show, no matter if he likes them or not. That said, he advises "The Oracle" to go see Bronson Reed, as he has a match against Penta tonight. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to and in what city?" Heyman asks threateningly. Pearce smiles. "FAFO (Fuck around and find out)", the General Manager replies. "Okay," a smiling Paul says before leaving.

Byron Saxton interviews Maxxine Dupri in the crowd area. Dupri admits she is still in shock after the attack by Natalya two weeks ago. Maxxine recalls that Nattie was kind to her, and even trained her in the Dungeon 2.0, so her betrayal caught her completely by surprise. Dupri points out that her old self would have gone home to think about what happened, to dwell on it to make sense of it, but the new Maxxine is not like that. This new version has defeated one of the greatest wrestlers of all time to snatch the Intercontinental Championship from her. This new version will not be trampled on. Dupri addresses the camera directly to send a direct message to Natalya, making it clear that she did not push her. No. Dupri pushed herself. Also, she will not let the Canadian fulfill her threat to annihilate her. "Try it, because next week you will receive the biggest lesson of all: that no one can annihilate Maxxine Dupri", she says before leaving.

We see a furious Bron Breakker kicking objects backstage as he heads towards the building's exit. Paul Heyman tries to convince him not to leave. "Don't go, or he'll have all the ammunition in the world," says Paul. "I DON'T CARE," Bron replies before walking out the door.

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) make their entrance. The former world tag team champions wait by one of the corners for their opponents, but...

Oba Femi appears on the entrance ramp!

Erik and Ivar are puzzled. "Ooooba, Ooooba!" chant the fans as the Nigerian heads towards the ring. Once inside, "The Ruler" challenges The War Raiders with his gaze. Erik runs towards him, only to be knocked down with a clothesline. The referee (Jessika Carr) decides to leave the ring. Femi crushes Ivar and Erik in opposite corners before finishing them off with two Fall From Grace. Oba poses on his victims to end the segment.

Finn Bálor delivers a promo on video. The Irishman points out that this business revolves around respect. And that's something he has always carried with him wherever he has worked, whether in the independent circuit or in WWE. "I always give respect. However, the longer I spend here, the more I realize that the respect I give is never returned to me", he says. The Irishman recalls his great match in Belfast, pointing out that it wasn't just a one-night thing. He has always delivered great matches throughout his career. However, Adam Pearce decided to disrespect him by leaving him out of Royal Rumble because the battle royal was full. "It seems that respect only gets you so far in this industry, but I want more. I want the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, I don't think I'm a bad guy, but right now, Punk, I'm willing to do bad things", says the Irishman to end his promo.

The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie Bella) make their entrance. The fans give them a warm welcome. Nikki and Brie take the mic to joke about the city's teams, at which point the first boos start. Nikki changes the subject to remind everyone that this is the first time in seven years that she's in a Monday Night Raw ring with her sister. Nikki has seen the fans' reaction on social media, and she agrees with them: everyone is happy to have Brie back. "YES! YES! YES!", chant the fans as they raise their index fingers to the sky. "¡Thank you all! I'm so happy to be back! I'm finally home!", exclaims Brie. That said, she wants to reveal the reason for her return. And no, it's not to prevent Nikki from getting her butt kicked every week. Brie recalls that The Bella Twins are the original team of the women's division. "The division is better than it has ever been, and Nikki and I want to be a part of it. It's time for The Bella Twins to go for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships!", she exclaims. The Bella Twins' theme music starts playing. Nikki and Brie say goodbye to the fans before heading backstage.

Bert Kreischer approaches Otis and Akira Tozawa backstage to greet them. Otis congratulates the actor on his latest show on Netflix, "Free Bert". "It's pure carnage, baby!", exclaims Otis. Bert has also been following Raw and knows that Otis and Tozawa will have a title opportunity next week. "It'll be pure carnage!", yells Otis. Maxxine Dupri appears on the scene. Bert regrets what Natalya did to her, hoping she gets what she deserves. "It'll be pure car...!", exclaims Otis before being interrupted by his partner. "No. After what Nattie did to me, the way she betrayed me and humiliated me. That was out of line. Next week I'm going to step into that ring and BREAK HER ANKLE", shouts Dupri before leaving. "She's a bad girl, Bert," says Otis. The three men celebrate as the segment comes to an end.

Penta vs. Bronson Reed (with Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory)

Penta dodges a charge from Bronson to unleash a flurry of attacks. The Australian quickly recovers. Reed knocks down Penta with a shoulder tackle before taking him to one of the corners. Bronson hits him over and over before throwing him against the opposite corner. Penta manages to recover to surprise Bronson with a pair of scissors.

Penta performs a dropkick on Reed, who ends up at ringside. Penta dives onto him with a suicide dive. The Mexican returns to the ring to wait for his opponent, but the latter remains at ringside. Penta goes down to confront the Australian, whom he attacks with several chops on one of the posts. Bronson dodges one of them, causing the masked wrestler's hand to hit the metal. Reed throws Penta onto the commentator's table before bringing him back into the ring.

Bronson hits Penta, trying to unmask him. Reed catches him in a crossface. Penta launches several attacks to free himself. Bronson stops his momentum with a big boot. 1..2..NO. Reed catches Penta in a crossface again. Penta tries to recover, but the Australian stops him easily. Bronson performs a senton. 1..2..NO. Reed continues to punish his opponent, who he knocks down with a chop.

Penta dodges a senton, causing his opponent to crash onto the canvas. Penta unleashes a rain of attacks on the Australian, finishing him off with a springboard DDT. 1..2..NO.

Reed blocks a Sacrifice to respond with a bodyslam. 1..2..NO. Now it’s Penta who blocks a Death Valley Driver to respond with a backstabber. 1...2...NO. Theory climbs onto the apron to distract the Mexican, but Penta quickly kicks him away. Penta goes back after Bronson. Now Logan steps onto the apron. The referee orders him to get down. Penta leans on the official to strike “The Maverick”. Logan falls to ringside, while the referee appears to be knocked out.

Penta launches himself onto Theory and Logan with a springboard crossbody. Penta heads back into the ring, only to be caught by Reed, who delivers a Death Valley Driver. Bronson follows up with a Tsunami before going for the cover. 1..2..3..4..5.. Reed realizes the referee is not in condition to count the pinfall. 

Bronson then decides to look for a steel chair, but LA Knight appears out of nowhere to surprise him! “The Megastar” hits a Blunt Force Trauma onto the chair! Theory and Logan chase after LA Knight, who escapes through the crowd. The referee returns to see Bronson laid out on the floor and begins the count. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8 Heyman desperately tries to explain what happened to the official, but he continues counting. Bronson gets to his feet but can’t make it back in time. 9..10.

Winner by count-out: Penta

We see a video recap of the rivalry between Stephanie Vaquer and Raquel Rodriguez.

Byron Saxton interviews Los Americanos in the crowd area. Saxton asks El Grande Americano about El Grande Americano Original, who interrupted their match. “First of all, like always, I want to ask how many of my countrymen, how many Mexicans we have here tonight. Listen, güey, listen. I really miss my people. No mames, güey,” says El Grande Americano in Spanish. Bravo and Rayo scold the fans for their lack of culture and respect for supporting an impostor, stating that the people of Mexico love Los Americanos. “Long live the true Grande Americano!” exclaims Bravo. “Long live Mexico, bastards!” adds Rayo. El Grande Americano regains the floor to make it clear that there is only one Grande Americano. “There is only one legend of Mexican wrestling, my people. I am the one and only Grande Americano”, he says before promising to prove he’s telling the truth. With that, he leaves alongside his partners.

We see Bert Kreischer sitting in the front row.

Dominik Mysterio makes his entrance. “Dirty, Dirty Dom!” chant the fans. “The only reason I came back and was willing to show up in a place like Philly is to celebrate and to introduce you to the winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble Battle Royal. My güerita, Liv Morgan!” exclaims Dom.

Liv Morgan makes her entrance!

The Royal Rumble winner rushes into the ring and leaps into her boyfriend’s arms. “You deserve it!” chant the fans. “I know, I know!” replies Liv. She thanks Mysterio for the introduction before making it clear that the fans are in the presence of “the greatest Royal Rumble winner of aaaaaall time”. Liv knows she has a decision to make, but she won’t do it tonight. Morgan hints that this Friday she’ll be on SmackDown to weigh her options. “But one thing I’m sure of: tonight we’re going to crown a new Women’s World Champion”, she says before introducing her “best friend,” her “sister”: Raquel Rodriguez.

Raquel Rodriguez makes her entrance!

Raquel greets her teammates before taking the mic. The Texan thanks Liv for the introduction, but there’s something she needs to ask her. “It’s been an incredible week for The Judgment Day. But you know what? I feel like we’ve been celebrating your big win all week, but we haven’t talked about something else that happened in the Rumble. Why did you eliminate me?” asks Raquel.

“Sister, sister. It’s not like that. Raquel, I know you. I know you better than anyone in this world, and if there’s one thing I know about you, it’s that you’re not selfish. You’re not. You’re not. You have a title opportunity, and now I have a title opportunity. The more the merrier, right? Because a win for The Judgment Day is a win for everyone, right?” replies Morgan.

Raquel agrees. “You’re right. A win for one is a win for all. But tonight, stay back there. It’s only because it’s going to make my victory, when I defeat Stephanie Vaquer on my own, that much sweeter. Because then I’ll become your new Women’s World Champion all by myself!” exclaims the Texan. Liv accepts her partner’s decision and leaves the ring with Mysterio. “See you later. Get it done!” shouts Morgan. At that moment, “La Primera” makes her entrance.

Philly Street Fight for the Women’s World Championship

Raquel sets up the table at ringside. Stephanie launches herself at Raquel with a hurricanrana. Rodriguez stops her mid-move and counters with a powerbomb through the table, which shatters.

Rodriguez wraps a chain around the champion’s left ankle to damage it. Raquel drags her rival toward the steel steps to smash her ankle against them. Rodriguez brings several weapons into the ring.

Rodriguez continues punishing the Chilean’s ankle using the steel steps. Stephanie dodges a chair shot to respond with a kendo stick.

Rodriguez throws Stephanie into one of the posts and then brings her back into the ring for a cover. 1..2..NO.

Winner and STILL Women’s World Champion: Stephanie Vaquer

Morgan surprises Vaquer from behind and hits an ObLIVion! Liv poses with the championship before tossing it onto the Chilean’s body and leaving the ring to head backstage.

A Range Rover pulls into the arena parking lot. Roman Reigns steps out and heads toward the ring. “OTC, OTC!” chant the fans. Roman raises his index finger to the sky as fireworks explode throughout the arena. He greets fans at ringside before posing on the apron while Alicia Taylor introduces him as the Royal Rumble winner. Roman once again raises his finger in the center of the ring as the fireworks go off.

“OTC, OTC!” chant the fans before he can speak. “Roman, Roman Reigns!” they continue. “Philly, acknowledge me!” exclaims Roman. “OTC, OTC!” respond the fans. Reigns recalls the good and bad moments he’s had in this city. Here he won his first WWE Championship, the same night his daughter had her birthday. And here he also lost his last title. But there’s more: this is where he won his first Royal Rumble, though the crowd reaction back then was very different. Now, eleven years later, fate has brought WWE’s first weekly show after his Royal Rumble victory to this very city, and he believes there’s no better place to make the decision ahead of him: challenge Drew McIntyre or CM Punk? The crowd quickly chooses. “CM Punk, CM Punk!” they chant. Roman raises the mic to the sky so the fans can be heard when suddenly... 

Cult of Personality hits!

The fans go wild. CM Punk appears. “The Best in the World” heads to the ring, where the Samoan awaits. “CM Punk, CM Punk!” chant the fans. Punk ignores Roman and looks straight into the camera. “Finn Bálor. I heard what you said. You think you’re not a bad guy? Well, I know that when I’m pushed, I’m the worst guy. And you’ll find out very soon, once I get my hands on you”, exclaims “The Best in the World”. 

Roman confronts CM Punk for interrupting him. The World Heavyweight Champion disagrees, stating that Roman is just a guest on HIS show. Punk recalls the question Reigns asked the fans. He believes the crowd has made their answer clear, but he also knows Roman already had his answer before coming out. That’s why he advises him to take the easy road: “Choose Drew McIntyre”.

Reigns reminds Punk that the Scot is bigger than him. The last time they faced each other, Drew made Punk cry over a simple plastic bracelet, the same one he’s wearing now. “Be careful, because when I was done with Drew, they ran out of staples to put that idiot back together”, fires back Punk. He knows he’s beaten Drew before, but he did it in the most dangerous match of all: Hell in a Cell.

“Get in line. I beat Drew like three years in a row,” says Roman. “Yeah, you beat Drew. You and how many of your cousins?” asks Punk. The Samoan warns him to watch his words when talking about his family. “We’re the only reason this place is where it is now. We’re the only reason you even had a show and a company to come back to. NEVER forget that”, says Reigns. Punk counters that Roman truly believes his own words, but in reality manipulated many people, including his own family, into believing he was the great Messiah who would elevate the company—when in fact he held it hostage.

Punk assures Roman that no one is trying to follow in his footsteps. In fact, it’s the opposite. CM Punk set a record during his last WWE Championship reign with Paul Heyman by his side, something Reigns would later replicate. “You followed in my footsteps. And yeah, you were champion, for how long? 1,316 days? Congratulations, but I’ve got news for you. Just because it was longer doesn’t mean you did it better”, says Punk.

Punk calls out Reigns for choosing to be a part-time performer. Meanwhile, Punk shows up every week, defends his title, and goes on tour inside and outside the country. “I choose to be a fighting champion, just like I chose to bring you into this company with the rest of The Shield. And you chose to follow in my footsteps. And I’m here to tell you, Tribal Chief, you learned from the best. I’m proud of you”, says Punk. Now Roman has a choice: two mountains to climb. On one side, the easy option—the man he thinks he can beat. On the other, the man he knows he couldn’t beat even on his best day: The Best in the World.

Reigns reminds Punk that he took a ten-year vacation while Roman traveled the world representing the company. As for learning from him... “The only thing I learned from you is what not to do”, says Roman. He reminds Punk that he’s here because Roman allowed it. When Punk wanted to return, it was “The OTC” who spoke up for him. Reigns made a promise to Heyman and kept it, despite Punk constantly complicating his life through podcast appearances. Since returning, Punk has poisoned everyone’s mind, including that of his “Wiseman,” screwing Reigns in the process.

Roman reveals his intention to face CM Punk at WrestleMania, but not for the reasons Punk might think. “I’ve made my decision. I could choose you because you’re the biggest available star. I could choose you because you’re on Netflix and on the biggest show. I could. But no. I choose you because I hate you. I’ve always hated you. And WrestleMania will be the best day of my life, because in the main event YOU WILL ACKNOWLEDGE ME,” says Roman before dropping the mic. “The OTC” leaves the ring and heads backstage. CM Punk watches in silence, a half-smile on his face. And with that, this week’s episode comes to an end.
