Bron Breakker Returns From “Suspension” & The Vision Declared for Men’s Royal Rumble

Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada featured Bron Breakker making his return from his storyline suspension given to him by RAW GM Adam Pearce earlier this month.

During the show, The Vision’s Breakker, “Big” Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and Paul Heyman came out to the ring. Heyman grabbed the microphone and after some words boasting about the greatness of each member of the group, Heyman proceeded to have several videos aired on the big screen showing RAW GM Adam Pearce’s actions against the group and the reason for the face-to-face meeting tonight. These included a video of Pearce being the instigator and provoking Breakker to get physical towards him and a video of Pearce grabbing the brass knuckles and leaving it in the ring for Rey Msyetrio to use to cheat for his team’s victory last week. Heyman then called out Pearce, who came out to the ring.

Pearce grabbed a microphone and after some words, he apologized for his actions towards Breakker and officially lifted Breakker’s suspension. Pearce also announced that Breakker, Reed, Paul, and Theory all are officially in the Men’s Royal Rumble match.

Natalya Explains Her Actions Towards Maxxine Dupri & Reveals “Nattie” Persona

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Natalya giving her reasons for her actions towards Maxxine Dupri and costing Dupri the chance at regaining the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship on last week’s show.

During the show, a video aired featuring Natalya claiming she made Maxxine Dupri but Dupri failed. Natalya continued stating Dupri didn’t fail herself, she failed Natalya and Dupri is just like the rest of them. Natalya stated that Dupri thinks that because she roared with a legend, she can roar like one and that will never happen again. Natalya continued stating that this is a new Natalya and when she’s done with Dupri, she’s coming for it all. This led to a clip of Becky Lynch with the WWE Women’s Intercontinental title being shown. Natalya then stated “Because Natalya elevates, but Nattie decimates.”

Becky Lynch Declares for Women’s Royal Rumble

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Becky Lynch officially declaring herself for this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match at Royal Rumble 2026.

During the show, Jackie Redmond interviewed Lynch backstage and after some words about Natalya’s actions towards Maxxine Dupri and Natalya wanting to come after her title, Lynch stated that she officially declares herself for the Women’s Royal Rumble and claimed she will win it. This led to the Kabuki Warriors’ Kairi Sane and Asuka showing up. Sane stated that Lynch will not win the Rumble because no one is ready for Asuka. Lynch responded stated that she is ready for Asuka and has beaten her before. Lynch continued blaming Asuka for why they lost the Women’s WarGames match and told Sane to relay the message to Asuka. As Sane was about to relay the message back in Japanese, Asuka stated she heard her and “see you in the Royal Rumble.” Asuka then left as Sane tried to look intimating towards Lynch until Asuka yelled out “KAIRI!” and a scared Sane scampered away.

“I’m ready for Asuka” 😲
