WWE Raw (Episode 1,707)
Cleveland, Ohio, at Rocket Arena
Streamed live February 9, 2026, on Netflix
[Hour One] Michael Cole opened the show and said Cleveland was hosting Raw for the 31st time. CM Punk was shown walking backstage. He met up with his wife, AJ Lee, and they walked together. Becky Lynch showed up behind them and looked upset. Separate shots aired of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky sitting together in the empty arena seats earlier in the day, and of The Judgment Day in their clubhouse…
Cole and Corey Graves checked in from the broadcast table. Cole confirmed that Bron Breakker required surgery and was out indefinitely. Graves questioned whether all of the drama involving Breakker and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce…
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch made her entrance and fumed over seeing AJ Lee backstage. Lee’s entrance theme played, and then she skipped to and around the ring before entering it. Lynch asked Lee what she was doing “on my show.” Lee said she was there to support Maxxine Dupri.
Lynch said Lee is like a little chihuahua, who keeps barking in her ear, yapping all night long, and is ruining her life. Lee said she hasn’t done anything personal to Lynch other than beat her twice and cost her the Women’s Intercontinental Title to Dupri.
Lee said she kinda gets Lynch’s point, but she considered it water under the bridge. A manic Lynch asked what she needed to do to get rid of Lee. She mentioned the Elimination Chamber taking place in Chicago. Lynch asked Lee if she wanted her to ruin her life in front of her friends and family.
Lee said Lynch was either manic or wanted to face her in a singles match. Lee said she hasn’t had a singles match in over a decade. She said it would have to be something special. Lee said Lynch is one of the greatest of all time. She questioned beating Lynch meant she was better and the number one contender.
Lynch repeatedly said no, adding that Lee had done nothing to be the number one contender. Lee said fine, no title, no match. A flustered Lynch agreed to the match and then stormed out of the ring and talked to herself as she headed backstage. Lee smiled as she watched Lynch leave…
Bronson Reed was shown in a hallway backstage, and then Paul Heyman, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul followed him…
World Tag Team Champions Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso made their entrance through the crowd. Ring announcer Alicia Taylor introduced the Usos as they pumped their arms in the crowd before the show went to a commercial break… [C]
Powell’s POV: Lee played her part nicely, but Lynch carried this segment with a strong performance. Lynch showed range by acting manic without it ever coming across as forced or hammy. On a side note, roughly two hours before the show, WrestleTix reported that Rocket Arena was set up for 10,488, with 9,905 tickets distributed. The venue’s listed capacity is 19,432.
Cole touted replica title belts for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks… Otis and Akira Tozawa made their entrance…
1. Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso vs. Otis and Akira Tozawa for the World Tag Team Titles. There was a handshake before the match. A broadcast team graphic listed NXT play-by-play voice as one of the backstage reporters. Another graphic listed Je’Von Evans and a mystery partner vs. Bravo and Rayo. With the Usos on the floor, Otis pressed Tozawa and tossed him onto the champions. [C]
Tozawa hit a top rope senton on Jimmy for a nice near fall. Otis tagged in. Otis tried to hoist up Jimmy, who slipped away and took out Tozawa. Jey tagged in and joined Jimmy in performing a double spear on Otis. The Usos hit 1D on Otis, and then Jey pinned him.
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso beat Otis and Akira Tozawa in 10:00 to retain the World Tag Team Titles.
After the match, the Usos comforted an emotional Tozawa. Otis pulled his partner off the mat, and then the teams hugged and slapped hands. Byron Saxton entered the ring and asked the Usos what’s next for them with WrestleMania approaching.
Jey gave respect to Otis and Tozawa, who were on their way to the back. Jimmy, who had a bloody lip, told Jey that he needed him to qualify for the Elimination Chamber and to win it, so he could get back to being Main Event Jey…
Powell’s POV: An enjoyable title defense that made Otis and Tozawa look good in defeat. There wasn’t much mystery regarding the outcome, but the live crowd had fun with the match, which didn’t overstay its welcome.
The broadcast team spoke at their desk. Cole gave Graves a hard time about him and Saxton wearing similar suits. Cole reminded viewers that Smackdown will air on Syfy for the next two weeks…
A video package recapped the CM Punk and Roman Reigns segment from last week’s Raw. Cole hyped that he would have an in-ring interview with Punk coming up later in the show…
Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio made their entrance. Cole wondered if Morgan would make her WrestleMania choice… [C]
Dominik Mysterio stopped Liv Morgan when she started to address the crowd. Dom got a bouquet of roses and a heart-shaped box of candy from ringside. Dom gave the gifts to Morgan while labeling her the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time. Morgan said the fans could take a lesson from Dom with Valentine’s Day approaching.
Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer interrupted Dom. Vaquer headed to the ring and then told Morgan that she talks too much. Vaquer spoke in Spanish. Morgan asked Dom what she said. Dom said he didn’t think he should say what she said. Dom spoke to Vaquer in Spanish. Morgan wondered what Dom said. Vaquer claimed that Dom said he’s a little bitch.
Morgan pointed out her “Hot Girls Love Dominik Mysterio” t-shirt. Morgan said that after looking at Vaquer, she wouldn’t qualify to wear the shirt. Vaquer said she hoped Morgan would choose to face her so that she could kick her ass at WrestleMania. Morgan said she wouldn’t rush her decision like Vaquer wanted, and then called her “puta.” Vaquer slapped Dom and then left the ring…
A promo video aired with brief comments from Rhea Ripley, Ivy Nile, and Lyra Valkyria about their Elimination Chamber qualifying match… Valkyria made her entrance for the Triple Threat… [C]
Why the hell are they still using Jey’s music when he and Jimmy are teaming up?
