Bron Breakker officially targeted for January championship spotlight

Bron Breakker’s rise just hit another major turning point on Monday Night Raw as WWE confirmed his long awaited World Heavyweight Championship opportunity is locked in for January 5, 2026. After pinning CM Punk at Survivor Series WarGames, fans expected this match to happen fast. But instead of rushing the moment, WWE has decided to stretch the anticipation and put Breakker under the brightest spotlight possible. The message is clear: when the championship is on the line, WWE wants the entire world watching.

This delay adds a whole new layer to Breakker’s story. Five weeks of pressure. Five weeks of Punk holding court at the top. Five weeks of Breakker preparing with nothing but the memory of that pinfall and the weight of a future that could change everything. WWE has pulled this move before delaying the clash to build a bigger impact but this one feels different. Breakker isn’t just challenging for a title he’s trying to cement his arrival as the next undeniable force in the company. And with Punk known for getting inside people’s heads, the mind games could get loud long before the bell ever rings.

This story is only getting hotter, and I’ll be covering every twist from now until that championship match finally hits center stage.

Gunther meets LA Knight in career defining tournament showdown

Two paths collided on WWE Raw and both men walked out looking like they were carved for this exact moment. LA Knight survived a war with Jey Uso by outlasting every splash every counter and every surge of momentum until he snatched the win with the kind of precision that defines a tournament closer. Moments later Gunther bulldozed his way through Solo Sikoa, endured Talla Tonga’s interference, and answered chaos with a low blow and a powerbomb that slammed his name onto the final bracket. Now they stand alone at the top of the Last Time Is Now Tournament, staring directly into each other’s futures.

This isn’t just another match. This is the type of collision fans talk about years later. LA Knight carries that unpredictable fire the crowd rides with every word and every moment. Gunther brings the cold brute force that breaks opponents down until the ring feels smaller around them. One man fights like he’s refusing to let opportunity slip away. The other fights like opportunity has no choice but to kneel. Everything about this final screams intensity, pressure, and the kind of storytelling that only happens when two careers hit a crossroads at the exact same time.

Whoever wins doesn’t just take the tournament they step straight into a showdown with John Cena in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Wrestling fans just got hit with a shockwave: AMC quietly dropped a teaser that looks a whole lot like the beginning of a massive new partnership with TNA Wrestling. A roaring crowd, a shadowed wrestling ring, and the date 1.15.26 flashing across the screen. No logos. No captions. No explanation. Just a message loud enough to shake the entire wrestling landscape.

Rhea Ripley studies Liv Morgan’s shocking WarGames interference

You could feel the entire arena shift the second Liv Morgan stormed into WarGames and changed the match in a single heartbeat. But while the fans were buzzing and the cameras were chasing the chaos, Rhea Ripley was watching with a different kind of focus. She didn’t flinch. She didn’t react. She just studied every movement Liv made like she was collecting data for a much bigger battle waiting backstage. Rhea’s presence during the interview afterward said everything without shouting a word this wasn’t just a moment to her, it was a warning.

What Liv did wasn’t accidental. It wasn’t random. It wasn’t emotional. Liv knew exactly when to strike, exactly where to hit, and exactly how to pull the match into her hands. And the part that hit the hardest wasn’t the act itself it was Rhea Ripley’s reaction. Calm. Cold. Calculated. She wasn’t angry she was analyzing. And if you know anything about Rhea Ripley, that is always the most dangerous version of her. Liv Morgan made a game changing move, and Rhea made it very clear she saw everything.

When the bell rang, this didn’t feel like a regular title defense it felt like a collision waiting to happen. Stephanie Vaquer walked into Survivor Series with the confidence of a champion who refuses to be pushed off her throne, and Nikki Bella came in swinging for shock value after her heel turn. But from the very first exchange, it became clear that Vaquer wasn’t just defending her championship she was reminding the entire WWE roster why she’s the most dominant force of 2025. Every strike landed with purpose and every counter came with the controlled fury of a champion who refuses to let her legacy be rewritten.

Nikki Bella fought with everything she had throwing cheap shots pushing the ref’s count and even catching Vaquer with a Rack Attack 2.0 but she couldn’t break the champion’s focus. Vaquer hit back even harder using the apron the desk the ropes and her own arsenal to tear Bella’s momentum apart piece by piece. The Devil’s Kiss on the desk stunned the arena and the corkscrew splash in the ring put the final stamp on a violent title war that left no doubt about who runs the division.

How Maxxine Dupri Turned Anxiety Attacks Into Championship Moments

Maxxine Dupri stepped into her Raw debut so overwhelmed she literally blacked out in the ring, fighting to stay calm while the crowd watched her every move. Fans thought she was acting clueless, but the truth was pure panic and pressure hitting all at once. That night could have broken her, but instead it became the first chapter of her comeback story.

Now she is standing in Madison Square Garden pinning Becky Lynch for the Womens Intercontinental Championship, turning fear into fuel and proving how far confidence and grit can take you. The same woman who once froze under the lights now commands the moment, feeding off the roar she once ran from.

I will be breaking down Maxxine journey, the blackout debut, the Becky Lynch win, and what this title run really means on Hitting the Ropes Podcast.

Here are the latest updates heading into Survivor Series:

Does Dominik prove Cena finished under brightest lights

John Cena walks into Survivor Series with the Intercontinental Championship, decades of big match experience, and the weight of a farewell run on his shoulders. Across the ring is Dominik Mysterio, the kid everybody booed who quietly turned himself into one of WWE’s most important heels in 2025. This isn’t just a title defense. This is a collision between legacy and rebellion, between a legend trying to write his final chapter and a second-generation star desperate to tear the last few pages out of the book.

If Dominik walks out of Survivor Series with a clean win over Cena, that’s not just another notch on his belt, that’s a defining career moment. Beating John Cena in a featured Survivor Series match while the world is watching could officially move Dominik from “Rey’s kid who gets heat” to a made main-event player for the next decade. But if Cena digs deep, finds one more gear, and shuts Dominik down under the brightest lights, it sends a loud message to the entire locker room: the standard is still the standard, even on the way out.

I’ll be breaking this match down from every angle on Hitting the Ropes Podcast, with full post-show thoughts, what this means for Cena’s legacy, and where Dominik goes win or lose.
