The final stop on the road to the Royal Rumble takes place next week as Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. With just days remaining before the company travels to Saudi Arabia for one of the biggest events of the year, the red brand is set to feature a high-profile return and a chaotic tag team encounter with championship implications.
Just two weeks after being suspended indefinitely for his violent actions, Bron Breakker is set to make his return to television. The suspension was lifted following a curious turn of events involving Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman. Pearce reportedly instructed Heyman to invite the volatile former champion back to the show after receiving a “mysterious phone call.” Fans will be eager to learn who was on the other end of the line and what this sudden reinstatement means for Breakker’s role heading into the Rumble.
In the ring, the tag team division will take center stage with a Fatal 4-Way match to determine the new Number One Contenders for the WWE World Tag Team Championships. The match will feature a clash of styles, pitting the veteran experience of The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) against the technical prowess of Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa), the brute strength of American Made (Brutus and Julius Creed), and the faction known as “Los Americanos” (Bravo and Rayo). The winning team will secure a future title shot, adding immense stakes to the encounter.
The broadcast serves as the “go-home” show for a historic weekend in WWE history. The 2026 Royal Rumble will take place this Saturday, January 31, marking the first time the prestigious event has been held outside of North America. The show is scheduled to broadcast live from the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where 30 men and 30 women will compete for the chance to headline WrestleMania 42.
