LIVE 1/13 WWE RAW on Netflix Results – After highlights from last week’s Raw, we see a vehicle arriving at the arena and CM Punk emerges and makes his way to the ring.
We are live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California, as CM Punk makes his way to the ring to start the show.
Punk thanks San Jose for the reaction. He mentions the firefighters and first responders who are helping out in Los Angeles.
Punk says it is time for the entertainment portion and he asks if it is good to be alive in San Jose on a Monday night. Punk asks if you watched last week and if they watched him beat Seth Rollins. Punk says he has a lot on his plate but one thing that isn’t on his plate is Seth Rollins. Punk says last year’s Royal Rumble didn’t go his way and he also injured his triceps. Winning the Royal Rumble is one of his dreams. With the injury, he thought his dreams were fading away. Punk says those dreams he thought he could see, he couldn’t see. Punk says people don’t see the Wrestlemania sign, but he sees it.
Punk mentions the comeback of the guy who says you can’t see him. Punk says he sees him and will always see him. Punk says that Cena announced that he is part of the Royal Rumble. CM Punk says he is in the Royal Rumble and he will throw 29 people over the top rope. He will point to the sign and you will hear his song.
Seth Rollins interrupts with his music.
Punk tells Seth that this is his time. He points to his eye to make reference to Seth’s black eye.
Seth says you should not be surprised to see him. He said win, lose, or draw, he would be in the ring on Raw. Seth says he is a man of his word. If he wasn’t a man of his word and didn’t show up when times got hard, it would not be him, it would be Punk.
Punk asks if he would still be the winner.
Seth says he would rather be the worst version of himself than any version of Punk. Seth says he has lost a lot of matches. Big matches, main events, title matches, at Wrestlemania. Last week was the worst loss of his career. Seth says he has never been so disappointed in himself. He underestimated Punk and he couldn’t get the job done. There is only one thing to get redemption and that is take your Wrestlemania dreams and drain them in the toilet. Seth says he is going to win The Royal Rumble.
Seth says he will take great pride in winning the Royal Rumble and dump Punk’s ass over the top rope to get to Wrestlemania.
Punk says Seth is taking the easy way out because he couldn’t pin him.
Drew McIntyre’s music interrupts and he makes his way to the stage.
Drew says when he didn’t think you could get more disgusting, selfish, and self serving, you top yourself.
Punk tells Drew that he was in his face with tears in his eyes on his mat begging for his life. He tells Drew if he takes another step closer to the ring, it will take more than fifteen staples to close your head.
Drew tells Phil that not everything revolves around him. Drew says he was talking to Seth.
Seth says Punk’s invitation becomes his and he will stomp Drew’s head.
Drew says Seth should take a look at him real quick. You are so alike. Punk admits that he is a piece of crap.
Punk says he is a winner and he dragged Drew’s ass around the ring at Hell in a Cell.
Drew tells Seth that he acts like a leader but it is all talk. You said we can’t let Roman get back in power and where were you at Tribal Combat. Drew says he took care of Jey Uso. You lost your match and you are going to try to tell everyone that you did something right.
Seth says he has no patience for Drew. Punk says he has no patience for Seth or Drew. Punk says if either of you want to throw, he is here to throw.
Drew suggests that we have Drew, Punk, and Rollins in San Jose. Drew says no. He asks why would he ever do that. Drew says if you had listened to him, there is a bigger problem. Roman is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. Drew says he will have to step up. Drew says if he could get his title back before Roman because he got his falafel back. If there was only a match to get a title match. Drew says he will see you in the Royal Rumble.

He started with Otis and he snapped his ankle and destroyed the Alpha Academy. It continues tonight with whatever masked moron Adam Pearce sends down the aisle. Next, is Chad Gable winning a singles title in 2025. When he says he is going to do something, it gets done. There is a reason. He wasn’t just born here, he wasn’t just raised here, he was made here.

With ties to Damage CTRL and the Pure Fusion Collective involved throughout, this final promises high-stakes action.
Damian Priest faces Finn Balor of Judgment Day in a Street Fight. Their storied history includes a December 30 clash where Priest teamed with The War Raiders to defeat Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh. Expect brutality as the former allies collide once again.
Ludwig Kaiser and Sheamus renew their heated rivalry, having previously battled in June and August before both challenged unsuccessfully for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
Chad Gable returns to in-ring action tonight after defeating former Alpha Academy partner Otis on December 30. While his opponent remains a mystery, speculation surrounds the heavily teased debut of former AEW star Penta.
Rhea Ripley, fresh off reclaiming the Women’s World Championship from Liv Morgan, will address the WWE Universe. CM Punk, victorious over Seth Rollins last week, is set to appear, and returning World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER rounds out a star-studded lineup.
The first ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion will be crowned tonight, as Lyra Valkyria will be colliding with Dakota Kai in the finals of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament. Kai emerged victorious over Shayna Baszler and Katana Chance in a First Round Triple Threat Match, while Valkyria defeated Ivy Nile and Zelina Vega. In the semifinals, Kai then beat Baszler’s Pure Fusion Collective stablemate Zoey Stark, and Valkyria emerged victorious over Kai’s Damage CTRL stablemate IYO SKY.
Damian Priest will be going head-to-head with Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, but unlike their previous encounters in the ring, this time it will be in a Street Fight.

Longtime rivals Ludwig Kaiser and Sheamus will be running it back tonight as they go one-on-one with each other.
