Tonight’s Raw will emanate from Atlanta.
Tonight’s episode of the Red brand is set to take place live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Logan Paul, and Stephanie Vaquer are listed as featured superstars for tonight’s show.
The February 23 show will serve as the go-home show for Elimination Chamber 2026 and will feature the two final Chamber Qualifying matches, where stars will tussle for the final spot in the two Chamber matches.
WWE has also announced a tribute to AJ Styles, who was forced to retire after losing the career-threatening match against ‘Career Killer’ Gunther at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh. On the other hand, Brock Lesnar, for the first time since the men’s Royal Rumble match, will make his return tonight.
Additionally, Liv Morgan will reveal her WrestleMania decision with WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill in attendance to witness Liv’s choice, while Nattie is set to take on Maxxine Dupri, after their first encounter ended in a double count-out due to a brawl between the two ringside.
Is WWE Raw tonight facing delays?
Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez recently wrote to his subscribers on X, revealing that travel issues due to weather could affect the upcoming episode of Raw. However, Alvarez clarified that the delays are on the production side.
Per Flightaware, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is facing delays. However, despite the two reports signalling towards some setbacks in the lead-up to tonight’s show, it doesn’t neccesarily means delay in the live broadcast.
WWE typically prioritizes going live at its scheduled time, even if production has to make adjustments behind the scenes. Bad weather was a big hurdle during last month’s Saturday Night’s Main Event and the SmackDown before it in Canada.
However, WWE worked around it and even had backup plans for backup plans in place so that the live broadcast remains unaffected.
This would likely be the case for tonight’s Raw, as it is shaping up to be a highly consequential show ahead of Elimination Chamber, which is set to take place on February 28 in Chicago and will be the final PLE on the Road to WrestleMania 42.
The event will feature the two men’s and women’s Chamber matches, with the winner securing the WrestleMania spot against the World Champion, remaining after the Royal Rumble announce their picks. The final spot in both the Chamber matches will be decided tonight on Raw.
