WWE Raw celebrates a retired icon and offers superstars the chance to fulfil their WrestleMania main event dreams. The State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA, will pay tribute to retired Georgian AJ Styles.
But will the “Phenomenal One” show up? Or might we have to wait until the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 ceremony for that?
WWE Raw airs live on Netflix at 8/7c on February 23, 2026. Superstars will attempt to qualify for the final place in the WWE Elimination Chamber match.
WWE Raw (2/23/26) Match Card
- Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Jey Uso vs. “Big” Bronson Reed vs. Original El Grande Americano
- Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Raquel Rodriguez vs. Kairi Sane vs. IYO SKY
- AJ Styles Tribute
Final Places Up For Grabs In Elimination Chamber
It is very hard to see past IYO SKY winning the final place in the women’s Elimination Chamber. Especially as her fellow World Tag Team Champion, Rhea Ripley, has already qualified for the match.
Raquel Rodriguez is an outside bet, while Kairi Sane almost definitely won’t win the qualifying triple threat.
On the men’s side, The Original El Grande Americano’s identity thief feud with El Grande Americano will probably get in the way of him winning this match. Bronson Reed has the size advantage, but has spent the past eight months provoking the entire WWE Raw roster.
So, he could also fall victim to a foe interfering. All that sets up Jey Uso quite nicely to progress to the Elimination Chamber match in Chicago.
Finally, a tribute will be given for AJ Styles after he was retired by Gunther. But we wonder is this appearance just the latest in a series of signs that Styles won’t retire just yet.
