Pre-show Arrivals

“The Career Killer” Gunther will be in action in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Triple Threat Match. Lyra Valkyria and Bayley are shown arriving together. Michael Cole taped an interview with Liv Morgan earlier today. CM Punk is shown sitting with his wife, AJ Lee.

In-Ring: The Usos, The Vision, Adam Pearce, LA Knight

World Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso make their entrance through the crowd.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!”

Paul Heyman is on the stage with the depleted crew of The Vision:
“Big” Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul. Heyman tries to get
the crowd’s attention, but he’s unsuccessful. Paul takes the microphone
and says Heyman’s wisdom is worth as much as the $16 million he made on a
Pokémon trading card last night. The Vision gets in the ring as Paul
mocks the Memphis crowd. Heyman says some footage will explain his sour
mood tonight.

Video: Last week on Raw, the masked man attacked Austin Theory, costing him an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match.

Theory takes the microphone and sarcastically says it’s really
original to do a masked man gimmick. That was his match to win. Everyone
knows it, even the “bum ass” Usos.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce comes out and says
playtime is over. Pearce wants the Vision to come to the back and talk
in his office like gentlemen. Theory wants to talk about it now and says
Pearce screwed him. Pearce says Theory screwed himself because his
security guys could have gotten the masked man, but the Vision got in
the way. Heyman demands that “Big” Bronson Reed be put in the
Elimination Chamber. Pearce says he’s heard about the calls Heyman has
made, trying to go over his head. Reed can get in the Elimination
Chamber… if he wins his qualifying match next week.

LA Knight makes his entrance. LA Knight says the
chickens have come home to roost. Theory is worried about the masked
man, but he opened that can of words and screwed himself. Theory’s not
going to the Elimination Chamber or WrestleMania. Dreams and hopes have
been dashed. YEAH! Knight hopes Bronson Reed gets put in the Elimination
Chamber so he can torture him in the cage. After everything Reed put
him through… Paul says Reed put him through a car. Knight calls Paul a
“broccoli-headed bitch.” Knight won’t tell Pearce how to run his show,
but he sees those turd stains in the ring. Knight also sees the Usos.
Knight wants to team with them to take on the Vision. Pearce asks the
crowd, and they want the match. Pearce asks the Usos, and they respond
with a “YEET.” Pearce states it is official and happening now.

Morgan looks emotional after Vaquer leaves. Morgan starts to cry, and she walks off with Mysterio.

In-Ring: CM Punk, Finn Balor, Judgement Day

A loud “CM Punk” chant picks up in the ring. Punk asks, “Is it great
to be alive on a Monday night in Memphis, Tennessee, or what?” Punk says
the crowd seems happy to see him. The office isn’t happy to see Punk.
Adam Pearce thinks Punk is jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania.
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns is a big deal. Punk isn’t jeopardizing it. He’s
making everything better. Sports franchises qualify for the playoffs,
but they don’t get to sit out the regular season games. The people
deserve a fighting champion. Finn Bálor deserved a title match in
Belfast, Ireland, because of who he is and what he’s done. Now, he’s
getting another shot because he’s earned the ass-whooping Punk will give
him.

Bálor jumped Punk in Toronto and ruined the last time Punk would face
AJ Styles. The office is mad about this, but Punk is a man who does and
says a lot of things that piss people off. The people wouldn’t love him
if he didn’t do or say things that piss people off. Punk wouldn’t be
who he is if he didn’t defend the title every chance he got. Punk says
he’s the Best in the World. It’s not Roman Reigns or Finn Bálor.

Finn Bálor makes his way out to the stage. WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio joins him, as does the returning JD McDonagh.
McDonagh is sporting long hair. The three men surround the ring. Punk
waits for them to get in the ring. They get on the apron, and Bálor
tells Punk to relax. Punk isn’t in trouble. They’re not there to fight.
Bálor is out here to make one thing crystal clear. To be the best in the
world, you have to train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe and
train with luchadores in Mexico. You have to survive the toughest dojos
in Japan. You have to show up on your first night on Raw and beat Roman
Reigns. By that definition, Bálor is the best in the world. In Chicago,
at Elimination Chamber, when he beats Punk for the title, he’s not
jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania. The real best in the world
will make it better.

A light “CM Punk” chant picks up. Punk asks what those two idiots are doing here. Punk knows who Bálor is… no, was.
All those great things Bálor did are the reasons he gave him the title
shot in Belfast. Bálor did all of those things by himself. The Judgment
Day wasn’t there. Punk says, “You used to mean something, man.” Judgment
Day has been an anchor around Bálor’s neck. Someone as skilled as Bálor
should bring them to his level, but they dragged him down to theirs.
Mysterio is wearing two titles and never defends them. McDonagh needs
help getting into the ring because his head is so big. A “Bobblehead”
chant picks up. Punk says he’s been accused of being a smart man who
does dumb things. Some things are out of Punk’s control… Punk turns his
back on them. Punk dares them to jump him. Bálor says he’s the best in
the world, but Punk knows he is. He doesn’t need anyone’s help to prove
it. Maybe Bálor does.

Punk goes to the apron as Bálor holds Mysterio and McDonagh back.
Punk walks off. Bálor has a little disagreement with Mysterio and
McDonagh in the ring.

Byron Saxton is backstage with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. How are they holding it together? Their Road to WrestleMania is brutal. Ripley says the Road to WrestleMania is always tough. Nia Jax and Lash Legend failed to take their titles. Jax and Legend turned up the heat, but they’ll put them out. The Kabuki Warriors walk up. Kairi Sane says the Elimination Chamber is over because Asuka is in it. They will make sure Ripley and Sky never win. Asuka isn’t happy. Sane says she’ll make sure Asuka is champion. Asuka says Ripley and Sky aren’t ready for the chamber. Sane looks terrified. Sky checks on Sane, but Asuka screams for her. Sane sheepishly walks off.

WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender Match
El Grande Americano vs. Penta

El Grande Americano makes his entrance. He’ll face a mystery opponent
in a No. 1 Contender’s Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

superkick, followed by a backstabber. Penta goes for a springboard
clothesline, but Americano counters with one of his own. Both men are
down.

We come back from the break to see Penta hit Americano with a diving
crossbody block. Penta kicks him in the leg and hits a reverse sling
blade. Penta kicks Americano in the head and connects with a handspring
slingshot corner dropkick for a two-count. Penta goes for a Penta
Driver, but Americano takes him down before applying a submission. Penta
fights out, but Americano follows up with a Death Valley Driver for a
two-count.

Rayo Americano gets on the apron, but Penta takes him down. Americano hits a running headbutt for a near fall.

Original hits a Chaos Theory German Suplex and poses. Original goes
after the mask, but Los Americanos pull him away.

Backstage: Judgement Day, Becky Lynch

A dejected Liv Morgan is sitting in Dominik Mysterio’s arms. Raquel Rodriguez wants to help her and pulls her away. JD McDonagh says he wants to help Finn Bálor become World Champion. Bálor says if he really wants to help, he can let him do this alone. They walk off. Mysterio says he still has a match.

Backstage: Gunther

Gunther is lacing up his boots.

In-Ring: AJ Lee, Becky Lynch

AJ Lee skips down to the ring. Last week, she came out for moral
support and left as the No. 1 Contender for the Intercontinental
Championship. She says it’s been fun getting under Becky Lynch’s skin,
but Lynch reminded her that this is a tough business by driving her into
the ring post. She hasn’t had a singles match in over a decade, let
alone a title shot. The Women’s Division is different. Last time, all
they had to fight for was a sparkly butterfly, but she wore that title
proudly because she made that title. Lee knows who she is and isn’t
modest. There was a Women’s Division before AJ Lee and one after. That
was her gift to the women in the back.

Lee wants to face the best of the best, like Bayley, Lyra Valkyria,
Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, the Kabuki Warriors, Judgment Day, Charlotte
Flair, and Alexa Bliss. Unfortunately, all roads lead to Becky Lynch.
She doesn’t know why Lynch is so mad. Is it because her merchandise
sells better than Lynch’s? She gave Lynch a ten-year head start, and
Lynch still hasn’t caught up. Still, Lynch gave her a gift. If not for
her, Lee wouldn’t get back in the ring to prove she can go or that she
can be a champion. If she leaves Chicago as champion, she’s walking into
WrestleMania as one.

Lee says she knows Lynch is here and calls her out.

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch
heads to the ring. Lynch says Lee isn’t getting a title opportunity.
She’s getting the chance to gather her family and friends in Chicago for
the send-off and retirement match she didn’t get and doesn’t deserve.
She wants Lee’s family to cry while she pushes her hearse. Lynch has
been making history while Lee has been writing comic books. If Lee makes
it through their match, she can dictate her next one while in a full
body cast.

Lee says they can save the match for Chicago, but she wants Lynch in
the ring now. Lynch asks if Lee thinks she’s stupid. She knows Lee will
sucker punch her. Lee offers to put her hands behind her back. Lynch
gets in the ring, but she’s too scared to hit her. Lynch leaves and says
she doesn’t fight in Memphis.

Backstage: Adam Pearce, The Vision

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce happens upon the Vision. Austin Theory is irate over Logan Paul being attacked by the Masked Man and is held back. Paul Heyman sends Theory and Logan Paul to the jet. Theory has trouble opening the door. Pearce says the Masked Man is just as big a problem for him. “Big” Bronson Reed says he’s a problem solver and will solve this.
