Two of the biggest feuds on WWE Raw will heat up this week. We will also see the fallout from WWE Elimination Chamber. WWE Raw airs live from San Jose, California at 7CT/8ET on the USA Network.
Preview WWE Raw: Match Card (WWE Raw 2/26/24)
- Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Sami Zayn
- Tag Team Street Fight: “New Day” Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston vs. “Imperium” Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Sami Zayn in a Battle of the Forgotten Men
Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn will meet in a battle of Raw’s two biggest stars who haven’t been subjected to a trip to Australia. Zayn lost his qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber against Randy Orton. This meant Zayn misses the show in Perth.
Zayn also lost to Nakamura a few weeks ago on Raw. A down on his luck Zayn said he would put recent troubles with Drew McIntyre behind him. Instead, Zayn’s focus is on a path to WrestleMania.
Nakamura responded by saying if Zayn wants to act like an underdog, he’ll treat him like one.
Tag Team Street Fight
WWE Raw takes place at the SAP Center, in San Jose. The building has experienced some iconic tag bouts. The Legion of Doom vs. The New Age Outlaws at Royal Rumble 1998; The Bar vs. The New Day vs. The Usos at TLC 2018 and a Steel Cage match between the Brother of Destruction and Diamond Dallas Page and Chris Kanyon at SummerSlam 2001.
The New Day and Imperium will go to war in San Jose, this week, in a street fight. Despite scoring a victory in a six-man tag match a few weeks ago, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston aren’t done with their European rivals yet. Sick of Imperium’s underhanded tactics, The New Day challenged Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser to a street fight.
Expect Kendo Sticks galore!

Elimination Chamber Fallout
When WWE Raw rolls into San Jose on Monday, we will have a clearer view of two WrestleMania 40 Main Events.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins’ opponent for WrestleMania will be set in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match on Saturday (February 24). Either Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, Kevin Owens, or Logan Paul will be able to stand across from Rollins as the No.1 Contender.
The winner of the women’s Elimination Chamber – probably Becky Lynch – will be able to stake their claim for a WrestleMania match against the Women’s World Champion. Presumingly, this will still be Rhea Ripley.
