This meant Zayn misses the show in Perth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">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&#8217;s focus is on a path to WrestleMania.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nakamura responded by saying if Zayn wants to act like an underdog, he&#8217;ll treat him like one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tag Team Street Fight\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WWE Raw takes place at the SAP Center, in San Jose.

Despite scoring a victory in a six-man tag match a few weeks ago, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston aren&#8217;t done with their European rivals yet. Sick of Imperium&#8217;s underhanded tactics, The New Day challenged Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser to a street fight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Expect Kendo Sticks galore!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"pl\" dir=\"ltr\">WGBTMFA <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RAW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#RAW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ge7GqLm1Q6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/ge7GqLm1Q6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kofi Kingston (@TrueKofi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrueKofi\/status\/1759822338080842062?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Elimination Chamber Fallout\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When WWE Raw rolls into San Jose on Monday, we will have a clearer view of two WrestleMania 40 Main Events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins&#8217; opponent for WrestleMania will be set in the Men&#8217;s Elimination Chamber match on Saturday (February 24).
