WWE RAW set to undergo a massive change for next week

The first WWE RAW of 2026 will feature a massive change, as the company has issued a special request to fans ahead of the show. The upcoming episode of the red brand will be a collaboration with Stranger Things.

The global juggernaut hyped up the crossover episode with a post on X and encouraged fans to show up in Stranger Things-inspired outfits at Barclays Center on Monday.

"This Monday, #WWERaw enters the Upside Down… and we want you to bring your best #StrangerThings looks to Brooklyn. Bring the energy. Bring the nostalgia. Bring the noise. We’ll see you and your #StrangerThings inspired ‘fits this Monday at @barclayscenter!"

The much-awaited finale of The Duffer Brothers-created show premiered on New Year's Eve, concluding the story of Hawkins and the Upside Down. The series ran for five seasons and became one of the most successful shows on Netflix.

It will be intriguing to see how the world of Stranger Things and WWE collide on next week's RAW.

WWE has announced multiple title matches for RAW

Next week's episode of RAW will be the brand's first anniversary on Netflix, and in addition to the Stranger Things crossover, the show is set to feature several title matches.

Becky Lynch will have an opportunity to regain the Women's Intercontinental Championship, as she goes one-on-one with Maxxine Dupri. Additionally, the Women's Tag Team Championship will be defended in a rematch from last year's Crown Jewel: Perth, as RHIYO will challenge The Kabuki Warriors.

Last but not least, CM Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time since winning it at SNME XLI, as he will lock horns with Bron Breakker. The 28-year-old pinned The Second City Saint in the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series to earn this opportunity.

It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has in store for next week's RAW.
