WWE RAW will emnate live from Cleveland, Ohio
The Road to WrestleMania 42 officially shifts into high gear this Monday night as WWE Raw begins shaping the Elimination Chamber field.
With Royal Rumble shockwaves still rippling through the roster, Raw is positioned as a pivotal stop where contenders emerge, rivalries escalate, and long-term WrestleMania directions become clearer.
From Chamber qualifiers to potential interference that could ignite new feuds, here are five key storylines to watch on the February 9 episode of Raw.
Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying matches take center stage
The stakes surrounding the men’s Elimination Chamber match could not be higher. After winning the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns officially declared that he will challenge World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk at WrestleMania 42.
That decision leaves one enormous prize on the table. The winner of the Elimination Chamber will earn a WrestleMania title shot against Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, making every qualifier must-watch television.
The process began on SmackDown, where Randy Orton qualified by pinning Solo Sikoa in a high-stakes triple threat. WWE Raw will continue filling the field, with multiple qualifiers expected to bring clarity and chaos to the WrestleMania picture.
Women’s Elimination Chamber qualifiers raise the stakes
The women’s side remains just as compelling. WWE Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan has yet to decide whether she will challenge Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer or WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
Once Morgan makes her choice, the women’s Elimination Chamber winner will face the other champion at WrestleMania. That reality makes Chamber qualification just as valuable as winning the Royal Rumble itself.
So far, Tiffany Stratton is the lone confirmed entrant after qualifying on WWE SmackDown. More names will soon join her, including Rhea Ripley, who is already confirmed for a qualifying match on WWE Raw.
Liv Morgan sends a warning to Stephanie Vaquer
Since her Royal Rumble victory, Morgan has strategically kept both women’s champions guessing. After clashing with Jade Cargill on SmackDown, it would not be surprising to see Morgan shift her attention toward Stephanie Vaquer on Raw.
A direct warning verbal or physical, would keep the suspense alive while ensuring neither champion feels safe. This approach allows Morgan to control the narrative as Elimination Chamber approaches, keeping her WrestleMania decision unpredictable.
Becky Lynch interference looms large
Tensions remain dangerously high following Natalya’s betrayal of Maxxine Dupri during her Women’s Intercontinental Title rematch. With Raw management already setting the stage for Natalya and Dupri to settle things in the ring, outside interference feels inevitable.
That’s where Becky Lynch could enter the equation. A well-timed distraction or attack could instantly pivot the feud toward a high-profile rivalry centered on the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
The New Day sets its sights on tag team gold
The WWE World Tag Team Championship picture may also see turbulence. With The Usos set to defend against Alpha Academy, the return of The New Day to the title scene feels timely.
An interference scenario could help The Usos retain while reigniting one of WWE’s most iconic tag rivalries.As WrestleMania season ramps up, planting those seeds now would make strategic sense.
