WWE Raw on January 26 delivered one of its most talked about episodes in recent memory, headlined by a long awaited dream match between CM Punk and AJ Styles that promised a definitive statement before the Royal Rumble but instead exploded into chaos. From the opening bell, Punk and Styles wrestled with urgency and mutual respect, blending technical precision with raw emotion as the crowd stayed locked into every exchange.
Punk leaned into his gritty resilience while Styles countered with speed and creativity, making the contest feel less like a weekly television match and more like a premium live event main event unfolding early. Just as the bout reached its most dramatic stretch and fans sensed a decisive finish, Finn Bálor stormed the ring and turned anticipation into shock. His sudden and violent assault on Punk forced the referee to call for the disqualification, allowing Punk to retain while denying the audience a clean result.
Bálor’s post match rampage sent a clear message, as he unloaded his frustration and ambition on the champion, leaving Punk laid out and Raw closing on a jolt of unresolved tension. While the DQ ending will divide fans who wanted closure, it undeniably raised the stakes heading into Royal Rumble weekend and repositioned Bálor as a central threat in the World Heavyweight Title picture.
