Streamed live February 2, 2026, on Netflix
[Hour One] Raw opened with a shot of Bron Breakker walking at ringside and approaching the broadcast table. Michael Cole and Corey Graves backed off while Breakker trashed the table. Breakker threw an office chair and then tipped over the table before barking at a crew member to give him a mic.
Breakker entered the ring and started to accuse Raw General Manager Adam Pearce of ruining his Royal Rumble. He said that if Pearce ruined the Rumble, then he’d ruin his show. Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory came out and tried to calm down Breakker. Heyman took the mic and blamed Pearce. Breakker took the mic from Heyman and stared him down for a moment. Breakker called out Pearce.
Adam Pearce walked onto the stage, and then a row of security lined up in front of him. Pearce brought up the masked man who attacked Breakker, and said the last time they had a mystery attacker, it turned out to be Theory.
Pearce said Breakker was one of the first wrestlers to take part in the random draw. He told Breakker he would make it up to him by letting him keep his job despite his “piss poor performance in the Rumble.” Breakker left the ring to go to the stage. Reed and Heyman exited the ring to stop him.
LA Knight’s entrance theme played. Knight entered the ring with a chair and attacked Logan and Theory with it. Reed returned to the ring. Knight made his exit and jawed at Reed from the floor. Breakker was shown looking upset while asking Heyman what they should do…
Cole and Graves stood at ringside and set up a Royal Rumble recap video package… Cole hyped the appearance of Roman Reigns and questioned whether he would choose which champion to challenge. Cole narrated backstage/arrival shots of women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan, Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, and Gunther… Cole listed the attendance as 13,746…
Je’Von Evans made his entrance while being introduced by ring announcer Alicia Taylor. Cole said Evans would face El Grande Americano after a commercial break… [C]
Powell’s POV: That was an attention-grabbing opening segment. Roughly 20 minutes before the show started, WrestleTix listed the host venue as being set up for 13,796, with 449 tickets remaining.
1. Je’Von Evans vs. El Grande Americano (w/Bravo, Rayo). Americano’s entrance was not televised. Cole mentioned that the original Americano returned at the Rumble, while Graves acted like he didn’t know what Cole was talking about. Grande charged Evans, who held the top rope down.
Evans performed a dive over the top rope onto Americano on the floor. When Evans returned to the ring, Rayo grabbed his leg from the floor while the referee wasn’t looking. Americano took advantage of the distraction and ran Evans into the ring post. [C]
