Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on February 16, 2026, coming to you live from the FedEx Form in Memphis, Tennessee!

Rhea Ripley and Alexa Bliss qualified for the Women's Elimination Chamber Match during last Monday's edition of "Raw" and this past Friday on "WWE SmackDown" respectively to join Tiffany Stratton at WWE Elimination Chamber on February 28. Similarly, LA Knight and Cody Rhodes win Triple Threat Qualifiers of their own last Monday and last Friday respectively to join Randy Orton in the Men's Elimination Chamber Match. Tonight, the next two entrants in the Men's and Women's Elimination Chamber Matches respectively will be revealed, as GUNTHER, reigning Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio, and Je'Von Evans meet one another in the ring while Asuka, Nattie, and Bayley collide with each other in a pair of Triple Threat Qualifiers.

Elimination Chamber will also see AJ Lee challenge Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship and CM Punk defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor respectively. As Punk and Lee both prepare for their respective title matches, the husband and wife duo will both be making individual appearances on tonight's show with something on their minds to share.

Additionally, the winner of the 2026 Women's Royal Rumble and Judgment Day member Liv Morgan will also be making an appearance on tonight's show as she continues to weigh whether she wants to challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's World Championship or Jade Cargill for the Women's Championship at WWE WrestleMania 41.

We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as The Usos make their way to the ring.

The Vision interrupts The Usos' music, and Paul Heyman looks to speak. The fans won't let him, but Logan Paul tells the fans to quiet down and listen to Heyman's wisdom. He says he wants to host a show in the most beautiful city in the USA, but it's not in Memphis and says that The Vision is here.

As The Vision gets in the ring and stares down The Usos (who are still in the crowd), Heyman throws it to a video of a mashed person costing Austin Theory his Elimination Chamber Triple Threat Qualifier. Theory says that everyone including The Usos knew that he had his match last week won, but Adam Pearce appears on the entrance ramp and invites The Vision to his office for a chat. Theory cuts Pearce off and says Pearce screwed out of his match, and Heyman demands that Pearce put Theory in the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber Match.

Pearce refuses, but LA Knight's music hits and makes his way to the ring. Knight says he wants to talk to the fans, then addresses The Vision and everything Bronson Reed put him through. Paul asks Knight if he means the car that Reed put him through, and Knight responds by asking Pearce to let him and The Usos face The Vision in a Six Man Tag Team Match. Pearce agrees with Memphis and The Usos on board.

Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso and Knight wear down Austin Theory, Logan Paul, and Bronson Reed during the commercial break. The bell rings as Paul and Knight begin the action, and Paul fires off right hands and left hands on Knight's midsection.

Jimmy and Theory tag in back from the break, but Jimmy tags out to Jey. Jey wears down Theory, but Knight tags back in and lands a jumping twisting neckbreaker on Theory. Theory gains the upper hand on Knight and tags out to Reed. Reed and Theory double team on Knight before Theory tags back in and rains down right hands on Knight.

Reed tags back in and sends Knight crashing into the mat with a slam, then follows it up with an elbow drop to him. During another commercial break, Paul tags back in and sends Knight's head repeatedly bouncing off the ring apron. Theory tags back in and lands a double suplex on Knight with Paul, then goes for a pin but Knight kicks out. Theory then rains down right hands on Knight, but Reed tags back in and continues wearing down Knight.

Back from the break, Knight fires off right hands on Reed. He knocks Theory and Paul off the apron, but Reed levels him with a running senton and pins him. Jimmy breaks the fall, but Reed sends him crashing into the ring post shoulder first. Reed then looks to land another running senton on Knight, but Knight rolls out of the way and tags out to Jey.

Paul tags in on his side, but Jey connects with a clothesline on him and follows it up with a series of strikes. He then delivers a Hip Attack to Paul and pins him, but Paul kicks out and Jey catches him with a spear. He goes for a pin, but Theory breaks the fall. Knight then clotheslines Theory out of the ring and lands a BFT on him on the outside, but Reed sends himself and Knight crashing through the barricade near the timekeeper's area with a splash.

Back in the ring, Paul sends Jey crashing into the mat and pins him. Jey kicks out, but Jimmy tags in. The Usos land 1-D on Paul and Jimmy pins him, but Reed quickly breaks the fall and takes out Jey on the outside with a suicide dive. Reed then tags himself in and lands Tsunami on Jey for the win.

Winners: The Vision

After the match, Paul grabs Michael Cole's headset and gets in Cole's face. The masked man appears out of nowhere and delivers a Curb Stomp to Paul, but retreats through the crowd when Theory and Reed go after him. 

We then head over to Adam Pearce and a member of the backstage crew, where Pearce asks the crew member what's in a nearby crate that instructs WWE not to open it until February 28. Pearce tells the crew member to give the crate to Nick Aldis on "SmackDown". 

Asuka then makes her way to the ring. Nattie and Bayley follow.

The bell rings and Asuka is sent crashing out of the ring. Nattie cinches in a Bow and Arrow on Bayley, but Asuka breaks the hold and Nattie catches Asuka with a suplex. Bayley looks to land a kick on Nattie as she slides under the bottom turnbuckle on the outside, but Nattie catches Bayley and catapults her into the ring post.

During the commercial break, Nattie wears down Bayley with an Abdominal Stretch in the ring. Asuka breaks the hold before Bayley rolls her up. Asuka kicks out, then levels Nattie with a clothesline and a neckbreaker on Asuka. Bayley then lands an elbow drop on the back of Nattie's neck off the middle rope and connects with a superplex on Asuka off the ropes, then goes for a pin but Nattie breaks the fall.

Bayley, Asuka, and Nattie exchange strikes with one another, but Nattie catches Bayley with a German suplex. Asuka sneaks up behind Nattie and cinches in the Asuka Lock on her. Nattie reverses into a pinfall, but Asuka kicks out and Nattie locks in a Sharpshooter on her.

Bayley breaks the hold with a running knee to the side of Nattie's head, then lands a hanging neckbreaker on her. Asuka lands a Hip Attack on Nattie, but Bayley connects with a Bayley-to-Belly on Asuka. She goes for a pin, but Asuka kicks out and cinches in the Asuka Lock on Bayley. Bayley taps out.

Winner: Asuka

After the match, Maxxine Dupri attacks Nattie from behind on the entrance ramp and rains down right hands and left hands on her. Referees pull the two women apart. 

We then head over to Adam Pearce's office, where Pearce pleads his case to Oba Femi for him to come to "Raw" after seeing Nick Aldis do the same on "SmackDown". Rusev interrupts the pair and stares down Femi.

We then head over to a sit-down interview between Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Michael Cole. Stephanie Vaquer crashes the interview and argues with Dominik in Spanish before she leaves. When Cole looks to speak with Morgan and Dominik, Morgan begins to cry prompting her and Dominik to walk off the set.

Back at ringside, CM Punk makes his way out. 

Punk says it's great to be alive on a Monday night in Memphis, then says it feels like the fans are happy to see him. He says Adam Pearce feels that he is jeopardising the WrestleMania 41 main event by defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber, but he thinks he's making it better. He says he's talked extensively about being a fighting champion, then says in a couple of weeks, Balor is getting another World Heavyweight Championship because he's earned the beating that's coming to him.

Punk says Balor ruined his match against AJ Styles, then says he's a man who's done a lot of things that make people angry such as those in the office who don't like him jeopardising WrestleMania 41's main event. He says he wouldn't be himself if he didn't upset people or defend his title,

Balor's music hits, and he makes his way out along with Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Judgment Day surrounds the ring, but Balor tells Punk to relax because himself, Dominik, and McDonagh didn't come to fight. He says he wants to make one thing crystal clear, then says that to be the best in the world, you have to train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe, train with Luchadors in Mexico, survive the dojos in Japan, and beat Roman Reigns on your first night on "Raw". He says by definition, that makes himself the "Best In The World" and says he's not jeopardising the WrestleMania 41 main event. He says the real "Best In The World" will make the WrestleMania 41 main event better.

Punk asks Balor what Dominik and McDonagh are doing in the ring, then says he knew who Balor was back in the day. He says he's noticed that Balor did all of the things he's done in his career by himself without Judgment Day, then says Balor used to mean something. He says Judgment Day has been an anchor around Balor's neck for a long time, then says Judgment Day has dragged down Balor to their level and points out Dominik not defending his Intercontinental or AAA Mega Championships. He says he's been accused of being a smart man who does dumb things, then turns his back to Judgment Day and invites them to jump him if they please. He says he knows he's the "Best In The World" and doesn't need everyone's help proving it.

McDonagh looks to attack Punk, but Balor holds back McDonagh and lets Punk leave the ring.

Los Americanos then make their way to the ring. Penta follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. They exchange chops with one another, but Grande fires off right hands on Penta and retreats to the outside during the commercial break. Rayo hops up on the apron, opening the door for Grande to level Penta with a clothesline.

Back from the break, Penta rocks Grande with an enzuigiri and follows it up with a modified Bronco Buster. Grande sends Penta crashing into the mat. As Rayo distracts the referee, Bravo looks to hand Grande his signature piece of metal. Someone pulls Bravo under the ring and reveals himself to be OG El Grande Americano. OG Grande lands a suplex on Rayo and sends Bravo crashing over the announce desk, opening the door for Penta to land a springboard Mexican Destroyer on Grande for the win.

Winner (and new Number One Contender): Penta

After the match, OG Grande lands a back body drop on Grande. He follows it up with a German suplex and looks to unmask Grande. Bravo and Rayo come to Grande's aid and pull him away before Grande can be unmasked.

We then head over to Judgment Day's club house, where JD McDonagh explains to Finn Balor that he was trying to help him earlier tonight. Balor tells McDonagh he can help by letting him challenge Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship alone. 

AJ Lee then makes her way to the ring.

Lee says she walked out of "Raw" last Monday as the Number One Contenders for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. She says Becky Lynch reminded her that this is serious business when she sent her crashing into the ring post face first, then says challenging Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship will be her first singles match in a decade. She recalls holding the Divas Championship and making it what is was, then says she knows her self worth and says she wants to get her hands on all the women in the back including Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, Rhiyo, The Kabuki Warriors, Judgment Day, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss.

Lee says all road lead back to Lynch right now and says she doesn't know why Lynch is mad at her, then says it's not her fault and says she gave Lynch a ten year head start. She says she's not mad at Lynch and says Lynch gave her a gift by making her come back to the ring, then says Lynch gave her a chance to show that she can still be a champion. Lee then calls Lynch to the ring.

Lynch's music hits, and she makes her way out. She asks Lee if she seriously thinks it's an opportunity that she can have another title run, then says it's simply an opportunity for Lee to gather her friends and family to see her retire as they cry tears. She says Lee is right in saying that there was a vision before and after her, then says she's been making history while Lee makes comic books.

Lee tells Lynch that they can save their Women's Intercontinental Championship match for Elimination Chamber, but says Lynch can get in the ring and they can throw hands with one another. Lynch points out that Lee will just clock her the second she gets in the ring, but Lee gives Lynch the first shot as Lynch gets in the ring.

Lee goads Lynch and dares her to take a swing at her. Lee puts her hands behind her back, but Lynch says she knows the game that Lee is playing. Lynch opts to leave the ring, then says she doesn't fight in Memphis and storms to the back.

We then head backstage and see The Vision demand that Adam Pearce do something about the masked man. Pearce says the masked man is a problem for him as well, but Bronson Reed tells Pearce that he solves problems.
