WWE Raw Predictions After Super Bowl: Finn Balor Will Pipebomb CM Punk

WWE Raw Predictions are here for Feb 9, 2026, live on Netflix, at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and Finn Balor will unleash a pipebomb on CM Punk in the main event. Liv Morgan, the greatest Royal Rumble Winner, will likely select Stephanie Vaquer as her opponent by the end of the night. WWE is now on the road to Elimination Chamber 2026, which is the last pit stop before WrestleMania 42. There will be qualifying matches for both divisions in the build to that event.

This week on Raw, two matches have been officially scheduled: Usos (c) vs. Alpha Academy for the World Tag Titles and Natalya vs. Maxxine Dupri in a Personal Rivalry. Alpha Academy earned their title shot by defeating Los Americanos, Creed Bros, and New Day in a fatal four way tag match. Meanwhile, their buddy, Maxxine Dupri, is seeking revenge on her teacher, Nattie, who screwed her in her IC Title match against Becky Lynch. Here are the official Raw Predictions for Feb 9, 2026.

Usos (c) vs. Alpha Academy [World Tag Titles]

Usos just won the tag titles from AJ Styles and Dragon Lee in January, so they will likely walk into Mania with the gold. Alpha Academy do not have a storyline reason to defeat the Usos and their credibility in the tag division has completely diminished ever since Chad Gable left them high and dry. This division needs to call Jake from State Farm at 3 in the morning because it needs an insurance policy. If not, the easy fix would be an Usos and MFTs unification title match to merge these divisions.

Prediction: Usos

Natalya vs. Maxxine Dupri [Personal Rivalry]

It is understandable that Maxxine Dupri is the sensible choice to win this feud as a way to get revenge for Nattie’s betrayal. However, Nattie should win the first match in this inevitable trilogy to solidify her heel turn. She also needs to put Maxxine in her place and remind her who taught her everything she knows. This should give Nattie ample momentum for a future shot at the IC Title. She did eliminate Becky Lynch in the Royal Rumble, she will solidify her claim for the title after this victory.

Prediction: Nattie
