Summary Rey Mysterio vs. Logan Paul Elimination Chamber qualifier on Raw.
AJ Styles returned to Raw to join the red brand and received a huge ovation.
CM Punk expected to address Elimination Chamber plans and beyond.
This week on WWE Raw, the Elimination Chamber qualifying matches are set to continue after they got underway on Friday’s episode of SmackDown. The first penned-in qualifier of the night will be between Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul. This takes place one week since the Maverick cost the Luchador and Dragon Lee in their Tag Team match against the New Day. AJ Styles is expected to be welcomed with a huge ovation from the WWE Universe. It will be his first appearance on a WWE show since his return at the Royal Rumble and he officially joins the red brand.
CM Punk is also set to make an appearance and will likely align his intentions for the Elimination Chamber. The ‘Best in the World’ is also expected to address Kevin Owens attacking his friend Sami Zayn last week. The other Chamber qualifier will be the Women’s Intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria facing off against Bayley. Liv Morgan secured her place in the match last week after Rhea Ripley unintentionally disqualified Iyo Sky. After being sidelined with injury, Dakota Kai will join Sky in a Tag Team match tonight against Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez which has the makings of a future intense rivalry between both duos.

War Raiders beat American Made
War Raiders get the win after Julius Creed gets American Made disqualified.
He struck Erik with the Tag Team title belt in the head which caused the referee to ring the bell early.
It was a match that demonstrated brute force and freakish athleticism from the first bell. Erik and Ivar were over with the crowd. The Creed Brothers, Brutus and Julius took some bumps in the form of crossbodies, big swinging heel kicks and power bombs. Julius tried to be a distraction by pulling Erik off the apron and Brutus would Angle Slam Ivar in tribute to Kurt Angle.
Despite being an evenly-fought contest, American Made simply couldn’t play fair. Julius thought it would be a great idea to strike Erik in the head with the Tag Team title belt, only to get American Made DQ’d from the match. But it was more of a statement, as both Julius and Brutus raised the titles above their heads with Ivy Nile next to them, even though they didn’t win. Nevertheless, they are incredibly talented.
AJ Styles and Dominik Mysterio brawl on Raw
It was an entertaining return from AJ Styles who came back to Raw for the first time since his injury – and the Royal Rumble where he was one of the surprise entrants. While speaking about the road to his return, he was interrupted by Dominik Mysterio’s entrance music, who in 2025, still finds himself as one of the most hated Superstars in WWE by the audience.
Mysterio and Carlito attacked AJ Styles and reversed a 619 attempt on Mysterio to pull off a Phenomenal Forearm on Carlito which was met by the roar of the Nashville crowd.
Bayley beats Lyra Valkyria
Bayley successfully progresses to the Elimination Chamber for the first time in her WWE career.
Lyra Valkyria was forced to settle for second best and the Intercontinental champion was embraced by Bayley at the end of the match.
This was the longest match of the night so far. But it was worth it to appreciate two great workers in the ring. It was a bout that was filled with counters and reversals, with Valkyrie showing exactly why she is the first-ever Women’s Intercontinental champion. Kick-outs occurred from various fisherman suplexes and Bayley-to-Bayleys respectively from both Bayley and Valkyria.
But it was a well-executed roll-up from Bayley which was the deciding factor in the end. But there’s no doubting how high Valkyria’s ceiling is. She is a star in the making.
The New Day booed out of Nashville
The night has been fun so far, and it just got even better. Cathy Kelly was about to interview Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston but they could barely get their words out as the arena loudly booed both New Day members. It looked like at one point that Woods was almost breaking character as the jeers grew louder and more persistent. To top it off, they were eventually cut off by Bayley’s entrance.
IYO SKY and Dakota Kai (Damage CTRL) beat Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
IYO SKY shows why she is one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world right now with a stunning performance.
Liv Morgan was bleeding from the side of her head towards the end of the match.
The match started with Raquel Rodriguez asserting her dominance with her sheer size and strength on both IYO SKY and Dakota Kai, with Liv Morgan acting deviously throughout. Damage CTRL wrestled valiantly. Morgan pulled off The Three Amigos on Kai. Michael Cole stated on commentary that her boyfriend Dominik Mysterio taught her the move, in what was a clear tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero. But Sky pulled off several impressive moves such as her Iyo Dive and the Bullet Train that helped claim victory.
RAW Tag Team Titles on the line tonight
WWE announced during the commercial break that the War Raiders will take on American Made for the Raw Tag Team Championship.
IYO SKY is coming for Rhea Ripley
After Rhea Ripley got IYO SKY disqualified on Raw last week, effectively costing her the Elimination Chamber spot, the former WWE champion has set her sights on Ripley and vows for revenge.
You cost me WrestleMania – I’m coming for you.
Jey Uso and Gunther at WrestleMania is OFFICIAL
Maybe I shouldn’t say this. Me and you, at WrestleMania.
So there it is. It is 68 nights to go and it looks like we are going to have Jey Uso taking on Gunther at WrestleMania 41. This could get very interesting.
Gunther ATTACKS Jey Uso
Wow, an action-packed start to Raw. The World Heavyweight champion Gunther came from nowhere to swoop Jey Uso off his feet while he ‘yeets’ on the announcer’s table. Almost immediately, we are treated to an exchange of blows between the champion and the potential challenger for the title. Fans can be heard shouting loudly
