The final RAW before Elimination Chamber this weekend in Chicago.
Cole, Corey and Alisha are looking after their regular duties.
Just as Cody was ready to chat to the Atlanta crowd, The Vision had decided to stick their nose in things. It was just Austin Theory/Logan Paul running off at the mouth.
AJ Styles Tribute: The “Phenomenal One” is back in his home state of Georgia for a special celebration of his career following his retirement at the Royal Rumble. I’m glad this is happening. The Universe never really got the chance to say thanks. AJ is in the ring now, and you can see he is having a hard time already. The “Thank You, AJ” chants took over. AJ is retiring on his terms so he can just go be a Dad. AJ’s first match was at the Royal Rumble in 2016, and his final match was at the Rumble in 2026.
The area went dark, and you heard a “Gong”, then a motorcycle start up. Undertaker arrived at the ring, and the first thing he said was, “What, you’re just going to leave your gloves and go home?” Taker delivered the news that AJ Styles is the newest member of the H.O.F Class of 2026
Brock Lesnar Returns: “The Beast” is set to make his first appearance since the Royal Rumble, likely to set up his WrestleMania 42 path. Brock has been pretty quiet. It will be interesting to see what happens. I would love to see him matched with someone who will give him a run for his money. What do you think about Oba Femi as a match with Brock? Paul and Brock just set an open challenge for Wrestlemania 42.
Liv Morgan’s Decision: The Women’s Royal Rumble winner will finally choose whether to face Jade Cargill or Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania. I am hearing rumours that she will choose Stephanie. (Hearing that 3 matches between them, Liv will lose at Wrestlemania thanks to Raquel) Liv is not looking happy as she is in the ring with Dom. Liv just decked Stephanie. Jade walked away. Whoever wins the Women’s Elimination Chamber will face Jade Cargill.
Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: A Triple Threat match featuring Jey Uso vs. Bronson Reed vs. “The Original” El Grande Americano for the final spot in the Chamber. At some point, there has to be a fued between the Original Grande and the False Grande. (everyone cleared out from ringside, The Vision/Cody/Jimmy) Bronson was injured during the match, and they had to get the Doc to the ringside. Can we have a big YEET as Jey heads to the Chamber. Cole just shared that Bronson suffered a Distal Bicep tear. Looking at surgery and out for anywhere from 4 to 6 months.
Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Raquel Rodriguez vs. IYO SKY vs. Kairi Sane for the last remaining entry into the women’s match. I am not sure about this one. Rhea is already in the Chamber, so do you put Iyo in? Giving the win to Kairi would be interesting to see how she and Asuka would go, being forced to face each other. Do you put Raquel in, giving her the push I have been hearing about? Raquel is going into the chamber.
Grudge Match: Nattie vs. Maxxine Dupri in a rematch following their chaotic double count-out. This is going to get UGLY. Kind of hoping they keep this one going to Wrestlemania. Maxxine got knocked out, giving Nattie the win.
CM Punk Segment: The World Heavyweight Champion will address both his Elimination Chamber opponent, Finn Bálor, and his WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns. Is this the beginning of the end of Judgement Day? You can see the transition with Finn using his original entrance music and all. The question is this: Do you put the title on Roman at WrestleMania, who is a part-time wrestler, or do you keep Punk as champion and transition to Finn later on?
Je’von Evans in singles action against Kofi Kingston. (Greyson Waller/Xavier Woods at ringside. Woods has an arm sling.) Waller is doing all he can to help Kofi win. In the end, with help from Offset, taking out Waller Je’von gets the win.
