It’s weird discussing a WWE Raw from Philadelphia now when the whole roster has to fly to Saudi Arabia, compete in the WWE Royal Rumble and jet home before it happens.
By the time WWE Raw kicks off at 8 pm local time at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, we will have new No.1 contenders for both major titles at WrestleMania 42. Winners of both Rumbles – Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan – will appear on WWE Raw. So let’s preview the WWE Raw match card now.
WWE Raw (2/2/26) Match Card
- Women’s World Championship Philadelphia Street Fight: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez
- Penta vs. Bronson Reed
- El Grande Americano vs. Je’Von Evans
- Liv Morgan Appears
- Roman Reigns Appears
Philadelphia Street Fight
If someone doesn’t hit their opponent with a hockey stick whilst Corey Graves makes a Philadelphia Flyers reference during the Philadelphia street fight, then, honestly, what’s the point? If that doesn’t happen, we expect a whole WWE Unreal episode to reveal what the writers were on. The only exception we’ll accept is if Vaquer shoves a Philadelphia cheese steak down Rodriguez’s throat.
WWE Royal Rumble Winners
The winner of the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches will appear to reveal which champion they’d like to face at WWE WrestleMania 42. That, or they will begin the process of stringing us along for a few weeks before picking the champion we all knew they’d pick to begin with.
Original El Grande Americano returned at the Royal Rumble. This adds some spice to El Grande Americano (non-OG/ Ludwig Kaiser) taking on Je’Von Evans.
Meanwhile, see which two returning WWE stars are the Odds-on favourites to win the WWE Royal Rumble matches. Plus, see which other WWE superstar received 83% of all bets over a 12-hour period, sparking rumours they could win the match.
