The 16 February episode of WWE Raw significantly shifted the landscape heading into the Elimination Chamber, most notably through the high-stakes qualifying matches that saw veteran Asuka and rookie sensation Je'Von Evans book their tickets to the Chamber. While Asuka's victory over Bayley and Nattie re-established her dominance in the women's division, Evans' upset win over Gunther and Dominik Mysterio, aided by a shocking intervention from Dragon Lee, marked a potential star-making turn for the newcomer.
Beyond what happened in the ring, the night was defined by intense psychological warfare involving CM Punk who successfully baited Finn Balor into a self-destructive state of mind by questioning his independence from The Judgment Day. AJ Lee, on the other hand, used similar mind games to manipulate a hesitant Becky Lynch. With a mysterious crate sent to SmackDown and Stephanie Vaquer making a tearful impact on Liv Morgan, the episode paved the way for what to expect at WrestleMania.
