Liv Morgan announces her pick; Finn Balor ambushes CM Punk & other possible spoilers for WWE RAW tonight (February 16, 2026)

Feuds will reach a boiling point ahead of Elimination Chamber.

Live from the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee, tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw will bring high-stakes action, appearances from top names, including Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, CM Punk, Logan Paul, Oba Femi, and Stephanie Vaquer, among others, and all the drama on the Road to WrestleMania 42.

WWE has also announced two more Elimination Chamber Qualifying matches for the show, with stars battling for the fourth spot in the two Chamber matches. Furthermore, AJ Lee is also set to make an appearance after her return last week.

All that and so much more will be in store for fans tonight in Memphis. Let us now take a look at the top four spoilers for this week’s show of WWE Raw.

4. Gunther qualifies

WWE has been using the shortcut method for PLEs, filling the card with big names instead of working on rising stars and storylines. This might be the case for the upcoming Elimination Chamber as stars like Randy Orton, LA Knight, and Cody Rhodes have already secured their spot in the match.

‘The Ring General’ Gunther will likely do the same and win in the fourth qualifying match tonight against Je’Von Evans and Dominik Mysterio, as he looks to continue his dominant streak after retiring another legend at the Royal Rumble.

3. Another sneak attack

Following her return last week and the announcement of her Elimination Chamber match against Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental Title, AJ Lee is scheduled to appear tonight. The appearance will also be after Lynch ambushed her later in the show, when Lee came to Maxxine Dupri’s rescue.

Becky has been visibly irritated by just AJ’s presence and has reverted to her usual heel antics, which she could continue tonight by launching another sneak attack tonight. Additionally, if WWE has plans for a tag team, Dupri could make the save, with Nattie joining in the segment to further build the storyline.

2. Liv Morgan announces her pick

Since winning the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan is taking her time before making up her mind on which Champion she wants to face at WrestleMania 42. Morgan even made an appearance on SmackDown, keeping a close eye on Jade Cargill’s title defense over Jordynne Grace. On the other hand, Liv has already taken out Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and posed with the title after the Rumble.

This has created a lot of intrigue as fans are eagerly waiting for Liv to make a decisive pick; the same might be revealed tonight on Raw. Additionally, WWE could opt to keep Liv’s pick a secret, which would likely make the women’s Elimination Chamber match more intriguing.

1. Finn Balor ambushes CM Punk

During last week, a rematch between CM Punk and Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight title was set for the Elimination Chamber, after Balor hijacked the planned interview featuring Punk. Despite the babyface teases, Balor is back to his heel antics and could follow through on the same tonight, attacking the Champion.

The attack would help build up the rematch, which will likely have an expected outcome, which means the two stars will have to do some fierce promo work and bring out the hatred to build the clash in Chicago on February 28.
