Next week’s episode of WWE Raw, scheduled for January 5, 2026, will broadcast from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The episode marks the one-year anniversary of Raw airing on Netflix. The scheduled card includes three championship matches and a promotional collaboration with the series Stranger Things.
World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Bron Breakker
CM Punk is scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker. This match follows a confrontation on the December 29 episode of Raw, where Breakker challenged Punk and declared himself the “now” of WWE. Punk responded by stating that while Breakker is physically dangerous, he is not ready for the burden of the championship.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Maxxine Dupri (c) vs. Becky Lynch
Maxxine Dupri will defend the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch. Dupri defeated Lynch to win the title on November 17, 2025, at Madison Square Garden. This match is Lynch’s first opportunity to challenge for the title since that loss.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY
The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.
Reported Interest in Chris Jericho
Reports from WrestleVotes state that there is an expectation within WWE that Chris Jericho will return to the company following the expiration of his AEW contract on December 31, 2025. We’ll see if he indeed returns to the company next week or if they hold his return for a later date.
When asked about a return during a recent live stream, Jericho stated, “You never know.”
