This week’s Raw paid tribute to AJ Styles.
Before the second PLE of the year, WWE arrived in Atlanta to deliver the Elimination Chamber go-home show of Monday Night Raw. The go-home show emanated live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, and featured the final face-off ahead of the Chamber PLE.
The episode featured the final qualifying matches for the men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber bouts, with Jey Uso and Raquel Rodriguez emerging victorious. Bronson Reed, however, sustained an injury during the men’s qualifiers.
Liv Morgan picked Stephanie Vaquer for WrestleMania 42, while Nattie defeated Maxxine Dupri. In his return tonight, Brock Lesnar issued an open challenge for WrestleMania. On the other hand, Je’Von Evans pinned Kofi Kingston.
AJ Styles bid farewell to the WWE Universe in the closing moments of the show, and The Undertaker announced him as the second inductee for the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
Roman Reigns will return to face off with the World Champion
WWE has announced next week’s lineup, featuring several top stars. ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns is scheduled to return and will face the reigning World Heavyweight Champion following Elimination Chamber, where CM Punk is set to defend the title against Finn Balor.
On the other hand, Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio will defend it against the number one contender, Penta, next week. Penta defeated El Grande Americano during the February 16 episode to secure the title shot.
Also announced for the show is a matchup between Dragon Lee and ‘The Ring General’ Gunther, set up following another attack by Lee during this week’s episode. Lee has been enraged with Gunther, who continued to show disrespect toward Lee’s tag partner, AJ Styles.
