12 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: Who are Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez in the WWE landscape?
We have a new number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. A new set of number one contenders for the Women's Tag Team Championship that will be joining us on the show. Roxanne Perez and Liv Morgan. Gunther beats AJ Styles. Braun Breaker is suspended, at least as of now. This is the Raw Recap, a WWE and Fanatics original production.
There is so much happening in this world of the WWE right now, Megan Morant. I mean, first of all, just walking in over on SmackDown, there's reference on the show tonight, Drew McIntyre. The WWE champion, CM Punk getting in the ring.
That's right. No longer bored at work, Drew McIntyre.
He's not bored at work.
Chapter 2: What happened in the Gunther vs. AJ Styles match?
Because he's the champ.
He is the champ. And CM Punk referenced it tonight, saying that he intends on being the world heavyweight champion forever.
Chapter 3: Why is Braun Breaker suspended and what are the implications?
That doesn't really mean all that much. All that means is that's what he intends. It doesn't mean it's actually going to happen. Well, maybe we'll have time to talk about Drew McIntyre. But before we get to Drew McIntyre, I want to talk about CM Punk's opponent from last week. I want to talk about Braun Breaker and everything that went down with the vision tonight.
So of course, earlier in the show, you've got Paul Heyman having a confrontation with Adam Pearce. Adam Pearce saying like, listen, if Braun Breaker, first of all, Adam Pearce started a little negative, right?
He is a negative person.
He's a negative guy. And he leads emotionally sometimes. And this is bad.
Yeah, but I mean, when you're dealing with the vision and you're the general manager of Monday Night Raw, you're not exactly going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, I know. But if somebody's playing chess, you can't scream at the board and think that you're going to get checkmate. You know what I'm saying? True. And who are you dealing with? Ultimately, if you're dealing with the vision, who are you dealing with?
Paul Heyman.
And who is the greatest chess player in the history of professional wrestling?
Paul Heyman.

Chapter 4: How does Liv Morgan view her role in the Judgment Day?
Like let's, you know, and Paul Heyman goes, fine, no problem. And he said, I believe he said, it would be my life's honor to be your errand boy or your message boy, whatever he said, which was just so Paul Heyman, just so, so Paul Heyman.
When I heard Braun Breaker wasn't at Monday Night Raw. I was like, that makes sense though, right? It's tough to show up to Monday Night Raw after losing to CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. So when I heard he wasn't there, that made sense. But knowing that Braun Breaker was going to be absolutely furious, that also made sense.
So Adam Pearce in his role had to be prepared for if and when Braun Breaker was going to show up, whenever that may be.
So you're saying that Adam Pearce had a point that there was a very good possibility that... That if Braum Breaker showed up, he wouldn't be in the mood for teamwork.
No. Yeah, okay. He's not going to be in the mood for anything.
All right. Well, he was in the mood for something. Spears. Yeah. Loves his Spears because we get to the luchadors and the vision. We get to Dragon Lee and Penta. versus Bronson Reed and Austin Theory? And how about Logan Paul being at ringside with them? And I had this question today on the show on Sirius.
I was like, listen, all I read about all week was Logan Paul dropping vlogs or whatever he's dropping. saying, well, now I'm a full-time WWE superstar.

Chapter 5: What strategies are being discussed for the Women's Tag Team Championship?
So don't, you know, you can't say anything anymore because I just signed my first deal to be a full-time superstar. I'm in the WWE full-time. And I was like, that's a lot of talking to do before a European tour. Okay, show me your full time. And then he shows up at ringside.
And I go, and this was a question that we had for him, I feel like months ago when we had him on the pod, like that he was just saying full-time a lot. I feel like something has happened that ever since Logan Paul was like, no, I'm not in the vision to help out with war games. I'm in the vision. He's been on television pretty much every week. He's now in Dusseldorf.
Yeah, and before this, did we ever see Logan Paul involved in a segment that wasn't exclusively about Logan Paul, the character?
100% not. Logan Paul would be there for Logan Paul-centric segments.
He wasn't centric in this segment at all tonight.
He was there to support his guys.
That's right.
He was there to support the vision. And I'm like, well, right under everybody's nose, Logan Paul's telling the truth. He actually is because he's selling that Pokemon card for all that money. But even with all that Pokemon money he's about to get, he still is full time. I don't know, man.
Paul Heyman's got some of that Kool-Aid because all of a sudden Logan Paul hangs out with Paul Heyman for a few weeks and he actually is full time, full time.

Chapter 6: How did Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez become number one contenders?
Yes. And Dragon Lee just goes down.
He had to. I mean, he was running 20 miles an hour.
And then Penta goes down. And then Adam Pearce comes out. And he's screaming at Brom Breaker. And you could just read. You could feel the frustration in Adam Pearce. Because it's almost like it's like a violent grown-up act. hour gang where while you're over here, I'm going to be over here because like he's yelling at Braun Breaker and Braun Breaker's just like, oh really?
What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do?
And how about this vision, right?
Meanwhile in the ring, what's going on with the vision?
That's right. I mean, they don't even need words to communicate.
Right.
That's how much they're operating on the same page.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the Finn Balor vs. CM Punk match?
Separating them.
I did like how Austin Theory was like, Bron, chill.
Chill. Chill, dog. Come on. Come on, bruv.
Chill.
Chill, bruv.
Just chill.
Bron's like, oh, I never considered that.
All right, I'm chill.
All right, I'm chill. Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. Just chill. Chill.

Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event?
And I'm sitting there thinking like Adam Pearce is thinking. What do you mean? You can put his hands on me. I'm the general manager. He put his hands on me. And Paul Heyman was like, actually... And this is why I say you can't lead with emotion. Paul Heyman had found that center space. He had logically looked around, figured out the entire scenario.
He did this all without chilling or booch.
He didn't have booch. He had no chill. But he stayed in that sort of logical frame of mind. Knew everything that had happened. Hadn't gotten carried away in the emotion of it all. And then went, actually... You put your hands on that WWE superstar first. And Adam Pearce is just like, oh.
Because he knows he's right.
He knows he's right. Of course he's right. Of course he's right. And you're like, oh. It's the last person you want to be out-logicked by. That's what I mean about leading with emotion. If it's Paul Heyman out there, you don't want to be sitting there going like, oh, I'm going to scream at him until I get my way. No, you have to be paying attention to every single detail.
Because Paul Heyman has this just amazing ability of just making you look over here, look over here, look over here, look over here. You know what's in this hand? Your wallet, your keys. He's taken it all. Your watch, it's gone.
So now Braun Breaker is suspended indefinitely. But as we saw, maybe.
Maybe, right?
There's a loophole in this whole thing.
