WWE Raw Results 1/12 - GUNTHER Squares Off With AJ Styles, The Vision Faces Penta & Dragon Lee

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE Raw" on January 12, 2026, coming to you live from the PSD BANK DOME in Düsseldorf, Germany at a special start time of 2 PM ET!

As he continues to gloat about forcing John Cena to tap out during his retirement match at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13, GUNTHER will be returning to singles competition as he goes head-to-head with AJ Styles for the first time ever. After GUNTHER interpreted "Raw" General Manager Adam Pearce's request for him to show respect during last Monday's edition of "Raw" as respect for himself, Styles confronted him only for GUNTHER not to let him get any words out and Styles letting a slap to GUNTHER do the talking for itself.

CM Punk retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker of The Vision with a trio of GTS' in the main event of last Monday's show. While Breakker's stablemates Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul looked to get involved in matters, Penta, Rey Fenix, and Rey Mysterio took them out to make sure that didn't happen. Not only will Penta be joining forces with former World Tag Team Champion Dragon Lee to square off with Reed and Theory, but Punk will also be appearing on today's show coming off his successful defense as per a video from the aforementioned Pearce posted to WWE's X page.

Elsewhere on last Monday's show, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY became new Women's Tag Team Champions when they dethroned Asuka and Kairi Sane of The Kabuki Warriors in the opening contest, while Raquel Rodriguez blindsided Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer with a pair of back-to-back attacks in the ring and backstage while Vaquer sported a walking boot after being unable to dethrone her during a Triple Threat Match that also involved Nikki Bella the week prior. Per the same video from the aforementioned Pearce, Ripley, SKY, and Rodriguez all have something on their minds to share today.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of last Monday's show.

Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet audiences at home as IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley make their way to the ring.

Ripley welcomes fans to Monday Night Rhiyo, then says they've been battling The Kabuki Warriors mentally and physically for weeks now. She says fans are looking at the new Women's Tag Team Champions, and SKY says Asuka and Kairi Sane have no respect. She says herself and Ripley beat respect into Asuka and Sane, then says no one is ready for Rhiyo.

Ripley lays out an Open Challenge to anyone who wishes to answer, and Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez answer the call. Morgan says herself and Perez wanted to congratulate SKY and Ripley on becoming the new Women's Tag Team Championship, but says the only problem is that she never lost the Women's Tag Team Championship. She says Ripley and SKY could do things the easy way by just giving them back to her, or she and Perez can take them back.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria make their way out, and Bayley says while Morgan lost the Women's Tag Team Championship, Perez still did and reminds Morgan that she also holds a win over Perez. Bayley says she and Valkyria deserve the shot, but Asuka and Sane appear at ringside. They pull Ripley and SKY out of the ring, then begin brawling with Morgan, Perez, Asuka, and Sane. Ripley and SKY slide back into the ring, with Ripley landing a Fallaway Slam on Sane and SKY delivering a double dropkick on Asuka and Valkyria. Ripley and SKY then stand tall holding up the Women's Tag Team Championship.

Je'Von Evans then makes his way to the ring. Los Americanos follow.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Bravo stomps on the back of Evans' neck using the middle rope, but Evans levels Bravo with a dropkick and follows it up with a hurricanrana to him. He lands a second one on him off the top rope and runs him over with a kick, but Rayo hops up on the apron to distract the referee. Grande takes advantage and delivers a step-up enzuigiri to Evans from the apron, opening the door for Bravo to wear down Evans.

Bravo lands a knee on the side of Evans' face, but Evans fires off right hands on Bravo. He flies over the top rope to take out Bravo, then dumps him back in the ring and lands a running knee on him. He goes for a pin, but Bravo kicks out and Evans catches him with a thrust kick.

Bravo gets Evans up on his shoulders and connects with an Airplane Spin on him, but Evans responds with a Spanish Fly on Bravo off the top rope. He follows it up with the OG Cutter for the win.

Winner: Je'Von Evans

After the match, Rayo hops up on the apron. Evans takes him out, but Grande pulls Evans out of the ring and sends him crashing over the announce desk. Evans quickly recovers and hops up on the barricade as Los Americanos surround him, but Evans makes a break for it and runs across the ring to the other side to escape the grasp of Los Americanos.

We then head backstage and see Adam Pearce tell Paul Heyman to keep Bron Breakker away from the arena. Heyman claims he will try his best to do so.

Back at ringside, CM Punk makes his way out. 

Punk says it's good to be alive on a Monday Night in Düsseldorf, then says it's his plan to be World Heavyweight Champion forever. He says he feels like he can do the impossible with the support of the fans, then says The Road To WrestleMania is underway with WWE Elimination Chamber in one month. He says he's looking forward to finding out his next challenger, but before he can leave, Finn Balor's music hits and he makes his way out.

Balor says he's not waiting for WWE Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber, then says while he's not asking for a handout, Punk did say he wanted to face him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk says he did mention Balor's name among a long list of others, but questions where Balor's ambition is as he plays video games in the back, helping out Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, and shining Liv Morgan's shoes. He says Balor is impressive and talented, then says he'll be a fighting champion today and defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Balor tonight.

Balor says he's learned that timing is everything, then says he's not jumping the line to face Punk. He says anyone who's watched his career knows that the line starts with him, then says while Punk doesn't have to worry about Dominik or McDonagh, he won't be alone. He says he's watched Punk's career time and time again to know not to face Punk in Chicago where Elimination Chamber is, then says he'll face Punk on his home turf of Northern Ireland next Monday.

Punk accepts, apologizing to the live crowd for not giving the fight they want and the Belfast crowd next week for putting Balor in the ground.

The Kabuki Warriors then make their way to the ring. Judgment Day and Bayley and Lyra Valkyria all follow.

She gets Sane up on her shoulders, then uses Sane to take out Perez.

Sane escapes and takes out both Perez and Valkyria, but Valkyria delivers a dropkick to Perez through the middle rope on the outside. Morgan runs over Valkyria to send her crashing onto the floor, but Bayley and Asuka join the fight. Sane then lands an In-Sane Elbow off the top rope to take out everyone on the outside.

During the commercial break, Sane fires off right hands on Bayley in the corner of the ring.

Bayley and Valkyria then teeter on the ropes with Sane, but Morgan and Perez pull the three women off with a triple superplex. Asuka then begins landing German suplexes on everyone and delivers a double one to Valkyria and Bayley before Sane lands an In-Sane Elbow on Valkyria as Asuka holds her in place.

Sane looks to take out Valkyria with a crossbody off the middle rope, but Bayley tags in. Valkyria drapes Sane over her knee and Bayley lands an elbow drop on her, then goes for a pin. Asuka breaks the fall, but Morgan tags in. She blindsides Sane with Oblivion and pins her for the win.

Winners (and new Number One Contenders): Judgment Day

Michael Cole introduces Raquel Rodriguez, and she makes her way out.

She says people change, and says she won't stop until she has Vaquer one-on-one in the ring to become the new Women's World Champion.

Vaquer's music hits, and she makes her way out as security tries stopping a brawl from breaking out. She says her walking boot won't stop her, but Rodriguez blindsides Vaquer from behind and sends her foot with the walking boot bouncing off the entrance ramp. She hits Vaquer's foot with the walking boot using the Women's World Championship and stands tall, holding the belt over her head.

GUNTHER and Styles exchange chops with one another, but GUNTHER dropkicks Styles into the corner. Styles transitions back into the Calf Crusher, but releases the hold when he feels GUNTHER tap out on the side that the referee can't see. As the referee tells the ring announcer the match is still going on, GUNTHER low blows Styles and follows it up with a powerbomb for the win.

Winner: GUNTHER
