WWE Forced To Replace Popular Star Before 1/26 RAW

The January 26 edition of WWE Raw will take place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Ahead of this week’s Monday Night Raw episode, WWE ring announcer Alicia Taylor went online to reveal she won’t be attending this week’s show in Toronto. It was because she was stuck at the airport and her flight to Canada was canceled due to a severe winter storm across North America.

She revealed in her tweet that legendary ring announcer Lilian Garcia will fill in for her on the upcoming Raw show. Garcia was already in Canada, having performed announcing duties at the SNME event in Montreal on January 24, 2026, making it easier for her to travel to Toronto for Raw.

Alicia tweeted, “Currently at the airport with all canceled flights to Canada   So, tagging in sister Lil for the fill   Thanks @LilianGarcia #RAW”

Major Star Set To Return On WWE RAW 1/26

A few weeks ago, Bron Breakker was suspended indefinitely after putting hands on Raw General Manager Adam Pearce. Paul Heyman argued that Pearce was the one who made the initial contact by putting his hands on Breakker and has been pressuring him to lift the suspension.

Last week, during Monday Night Raw, Pearce received a phone call after which he asked Heyman to arrange for Bron Breakker’s return on the 1/26 episode.

This angle has been running hot for a few weeks, and fans were expecting Adam Pearce to make his in-ring return to teach Heyman a lesson for publicly undermining his authority.

But according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE currently has no plans to bring Pearce back into active competition.
