WWE RAW on Netflix anniversary results: CM Punk retains, two new champions crowned

WWE RAW kicked off 2026 with its biggest episode of the year, airing on Netflix for the first time and embracing a full Stranger Things theme at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York. The special edition marked RAW’s one-year anniversary on the streaming platform and featured multiple championship matches, dramatic title changes, and a blockbuster main event that closed the night on a high.

The night culminated in a World Heavyweight Championship clash, where CM Punk successfully defended his title against the fast-rising Bron Breakker in a hard-hitting main event.

Women’s Tag Team Championship Match

Asuka & Kairi Sane vs. Rhea Ripley & IYO Sky

RAW opened with a high-energy showdown for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. Champions Asuka and Kairi Sane were tested early by Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky in a fast-paced, back-and-forth contest. The challengers eventually gained the upper hand as Sky connected with a moonsault and followed it up with a suicide dive on Sane. Ripley then delivered a decisive Riptide to Asuka and secured the pinfall, crowning Ripley and Sky as the new Women’s Tag Team Champions.

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship

Maxxine Dupri vs. Becky Lynch

Maxxine Dupri defended her Women’s Intercontinental Title against Becky Lynch, the same opponent she defeated to win the championship. Dupri showed resilience against “The Man,” surviving a relentless assault and even locking in an ankle lock late in the match. However, Lynch managed to escape and, in a controversial finish, used the ropes for leverage during a pinfall to regain the title.

Singles Match

Liv Morgan vs. Lyra Valkyria

Liv Morgan returned to singles competition for the first time in six months, taking on Lyra Valkyria in a competitive matchup. Both competitors had backup at ringside, with Roxanne Perez supporting Morgan and Bayley accompanying Valkyria. Tensions spilled outside the ring as Perez attempted to interfere, prompting Bayley to chase her backstage. With the distractions cleared, Morgan capitalized and hit Oblivion to earn the victory.

World Heavyweight Championship – Main Event

CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker

The “Upside Down” edition of RAW closed with CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker. The challenger came prepared, backed by Paul Heyman and The Vision, and pushed Punk to his limits with explosive offence. Despite the odds, Punk found support from Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Penta, who neutralized The Vision at ringside.


In the final moments, Punk countered Breakker’s spear with a sharp knee strike and followed it up with a thunderous Go To Sleep to secure the pinfall, retaining his title and closing RAW’s landmark Netflix episode in emphatic fashion.
