Today’s show is in Philadelphia. There is going to be a lot going on about what happened over the weekend. Cole/Corey and Alisha are all back.

“Career Killer” Record — Gunther will brag again that he is the Career Killer. First was Goldberg in July 2025, thanks to a sleeper hold; in December 2025, it was John Cena. January 2026 AJ Styles at the Rumble. (If they are giving him the title of legend killer, why are they putting him in a silk robe? Why not the Ring General coat?
Is AJ Styles truly done? After the match on Saturday (Sunday for me), If your retiring, you leave your shoes and gloves in the ring. AJ went to leave his gloves, and then he stopped and put them back on. Is AJ heading to TNA to finish up?
Braun is trashing the announcer’s desk. Corey/Cole are just in shock. The Vision is trying to settle him down, but Heyman is screaming at the Universe. (I think the Mask Man was Theory) LA Knight with a steel chair dash.
Roman and Liv are both in the house.
Je’Von Evans is in singles action, facing El Grande Americano. (Kaiser) It was all El Grande until Chad Gable, as the original El Grande, came out to give Ja’von the extra help (medal plate in the mask)
Gunther is on his way to the ring to gloat about the Rumble. He came out to AJ’s Music. Dragon Lee tried his best to defend AJ, but Gunther made sure he got him in a sleeper hold. Needless to say, it didn’t end well for Dragon.
Oba Femi faced the War Raiders. It didn’t last long, and Oba won.
Nikki and Bree Bella are on the way to the ring. (Rumour starting is for the Bella Twins to face Rhea/Iyo for the Women’s Tag Belts at Wrestlemania)
Penta is on his way to the ring for singles action against Bronson Reed, and he is not alone. So far, the match had been OK. Thanks to LA Knight, taking out Bronson Reed, thanks to a countout, Penta with the win.
El Grande Americano (Keiser) is chatting with Byron. Basic chat was that Keiser is the original El Grande Americano
Guess who is back Diry Dom. This should be interesting. Here comes Liv. Raquel came out, telling Liv to stay in the back. She wanted to do this all on her own.
The Broad Street Brawl Summary: Stephanie Vaquer and Raquel Rodriguez used kendo sticks, chairs, and every inch of the ringside concrete to settle their score. Stephanie managed to retain her title, keeping “Big Mami Cool” at bay just 75 nights out from Vegas. Despite the absolute war zone around the ring… No announcer’s table was damaged in this match.
The “Money Match” Breakdown
The “Original” Plan Scrapped: Originally, the rumour was Roman vs. Cody III, but Triple H and the creative team reportedly felt that repeating that main event for a third year was too much, so they pivoted to something “fresher”.
The “OTC” vs. The “Best in the World”: This would be their first one-on-one match since 2014. They were in that Triple Threat with Seth Rollins last year (where Seth pinned Roman), but we’ve never seen them go head-to-head on a stage this big.
The Paul Heyman Factor: This is the real “hook.” Both men have been “Paul Heyman Guys,” and with the way Heyman betrayed them both last year to help Seth and The Vision, the storyline basically writes itself.
The Current Chess Board
- CM Punk: Currently the World Heavyweight Champion. He just finished a brutal defence against Bron Breakker and is now dealing with Finn Bálor.
- Roman Reigns: The Royal Rumble winner. He has the choice, and by showing up on RAW (Punk’s show) instead of SmackDown, he is already sending a massive signal.
- The “Other” Match: If Roman picks Punk, the rumour is that Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre will be the other major main event for the Undisputed Title. Which could turn into a triple threat match, add Jacob Fatu to the mix.
Roman has arrived at RAW. Roman is trying to decide who he wants to face at Wrestlemania. (Creative wants Roman to face Punk) CM Punk came out to chat with Roman. They have the intensity going full bore.
The decision has been made — Main event for the Men’s Heavyweight title will be Roman Reigns vs CM Punk.
