Emerging victorious from the match were the duo of Otis and Tozawa. After the match, Tozawa sent out a message about his journey through WWE:
It’s been about 10 years since I came to WWE.
To be honest, I haven’t left the results people expected, and sometimes I get laughed at like, “You’re still in WWE?”
But I love professional wrestling.
I love WWE.
That’s why no matter what people said, I kept going.
And now… it’s…— Akira Tozawa (@TozawaAkira) January 27, 2026
Tozawa’s last win on television before the 1/26 Raw was in November 2024.
