The road to WrestleMania 42 continues to heat up for WWE fans. The February 23, 2026, episode of WWE Raw will broadcast live on Netflix at 8 pm ET.
The event takes place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The company has announced a full lineup for the television show. The roster is preparing to finalize storylines before the next premium live event.
Liv Morgan is officially set to make her WrestleMania decision. The talented babyface won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble match in January.
She has spent the last few weeks evaluating her championship options. Morgan will finally announce whether she will challenge Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer or WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
Her choice will set the stage for one of the top matches in Las Vegas. The creative direction for the women’s division hinges entirely on her upcoming announcement.
WWE Raw Preview
Morgan has played mind games with both champions recently. The time for scouting has officially ended.
The Atlanta crowd will also witness a special tribute to AJ Styles. The wrestling legend recently ended his in-ring career following a feud with Gunther.
Styles wrestled his final match at the Royal Rumble premium live event. Since the show is taking place in his home state of Georgia, the company is taking the opportunity to honor his legacy.
WWE fans are expected to give him a very emotional send-off. The tribute will likely feature video packages highlighting his greatest accomplishments.
It is currently unknown if Styles will be in the arena live or if it will be a video presentation. Brock Lesnar is officially advertised to appear on the broadcast.
The Beast Incarnate has been absent from television recently. It remains to be seen what his intentions are heading into the spring season.
He could be looking to insert himself into the championship picture. Alternatively, he might target a new rival to set up a match at WrestleMania 42.
The locker room is always on high alert whenever Lesnar is scheduled to come out to the ring. A babyface or a heel could easily become his next victim.
The final spots for the Elimination Chamber matches will also be decided. Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and OG El Grande Americano will compete in a triple threat match.
The winner will advance to the men’s chamber match in Chicago. That specific structure match will determine the number one contender for Drew McIntyre’s WWE Championship.
The stakes are incredibly high for all three competitors. Uso brings a fast-paced style, while Reed relies on his size and strength.
The masked OG El Grande Americano is the wildcard of the group. The women’s division features its own triple threat qualifier.
IYO SKY, Raquel Rodriguez, and Kairi Sane will battle for the last remaining spot in their respective chamber match. SKY and Sane are current tag team partners, which adds an interesting dynamic to the bout.
The winner will head to Chicago for a chance to earn a world title opportunity. In singles action, veteran competitor Nattie will step into the ring to face Maxxine Dupri.
Nattie is looking to regain momentum on the red brand. Dupri continues to try and prove herself as a capable in-ring performer.
The results of this episode will finalize the card for the Elimination Chamber premium live event. That show is scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
CM Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor in his hometown. Furthermore, AJ Lee will challenge Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Cody Rhodes and LA Knight are already confirmed for the men’s chamber match. The fallout from Chicago will dictate the final direction for the roster as they head to Allegiant Stadium in April.
