WWE Raw Results 2/23 - WWE Hosts A Tribute To AJ Styles' Career, Liv Morgan Chooses Her WrestleMania 42 Opponent

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on February 23, 2026, coming to you live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia!

With GUNTHER having retired the likes of John Cena and Goldberg, AJ Styles looked to step up to the plate in an effort to take him down at WWE Royal Rumble on January 31 and agreed to put his career on the line. However, things didn't go the way that Styles had planned for them to and he ultimately came up short to "The Ring General". Following such, WWE will be hosting a tribute to Styles' career in his home state of Georgia.

2026 Women's Royal Rumble Winner Liv Morgan has spent the last several weeks contemplating whether or not she wants to challenge Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's World Championship or Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship at WWE WrestleMania 42. After Vaquer crashed Morgan and Dominik Mysterio's sit down interview with Michael Cole during last Monday's episode of "Raw" with a strong message for Morgan and Cargill made it clear she was ready for whoever her WrestleMania 42 opponent was during this past Friday's edition of "SmackDown", Morgan will finally be making her decision tonight.

After coming up short to The Kabuki Warriors' Asuka in a Women's Elimination Chamber Triple Threat Qualifier that also involved Bayley last Monday, Nattie has the chance to redeem herself tonight as she collides with her former mentee Maxxine Dupri. The former friends turned bitter rivals previously faced one another in the ring on the February 9 edition of "Raw" in a match that ultimately ended in a double countout when neither woman could beat a ten count while they were brawling on the outside.

Speaking of Elimination Chamber Triple Threat Qualifiers, the final two entrants in the 2026 Men's and Women's Elimination Chamber Matches will be determined tonight, as one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions IYO SKY squares off with Kairi Sane of The Kabuki Warriors and Judgment Day's Raquel Rodriguez while one half of the World Tag Team Champions Jey Uso goes head-to-head with OG El Grande Americano and The Vision's Bronson Reed in the last two Triple Threat Qualifiers. The victors of both matches will join the other half of the Women's Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley, the aforementioned Asuka, Tiffany Stratton, Kiana James, and Alexa Bliss in the Women's Elimination Chamber Match and Cody Rhodes, Trick Williams, LA Knight, Je'Von Evans, and Randy Orton in the Men's Elimination Chamber Match.

Additionally, reigning World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has something on his mind to share as he prepares to defend his title against Judgment Day's Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber on February 28. Multi time World Champion Brock Lesnar is set to make an appearance on tonight's show.

We are live! Michael Cole and Corey Graves greet audiences at home from inside the ring. GUNTHER cuts off Graves and makes his way through the crowd to the ring, dismissing Cole and Graces. He says he understands that the fans aren't happy to see him as they're gathered to celebrate the career of AJ Styles, then says he thinks it's disgraceful to hold a celebration for a loser.

GUNTHER says he understands that the fans love losers like John Cena and Goldberg, then says he's killed both of their careers and Styles' as well. He says that he should be the one who's being celebrated, but Adam Pearce makes his way out and tells GUNTHER to leave as security flanks him. 

GUNTHER agrees to leave, but as he does so, Dragon Lee blindsides him on the entrance ramp. Security pulls Lee off GUNTHER and holds him back as Pearce and one of the guards force GUNTHER to leave the arena. Lee breaks free and attacks GUNTHER once again backstage, but security gets them separated. 

GUNTHER passes Cody Rhodes in the backstage area, and Rhodes makes his way to the ring. 

Rhodes tells Atlanta he knows what they want to talk about, then says everyone is in the building for AJ Styles. Before he can continue, The Vision makes their way out.

Paul Heyman hands the microphone to Austin Theory and Theory says he can't stand Atlanta. He admits to being ashamed from Atlanta, and Logan Paul says the one person who isn't ashamed to be from Atlanta is Rhodes because he has no common sense. He says Bronson Reed will win his Men's Elimination Chamber Triple Threat Qualifier and the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber, then says The Vision will take over "SmackDown" tonight up next.

Rhodes says there's pretty sure someone would disagree with Paul saying Reed will win his Elimination Chamber Triple Threat Qualifier, and Jey Uso makes his way to the ring along with Jimmy Uso. OG Grande Americano follows. 

The bell rings and all three men exchange right hands with one another. OG Grande delivers a moonsault off the middle rope to level Jey and Reed on the outside, then sends Reed crashing into the ring post face first along with Jey.

During the commercial break, OG Grande fires off right hands on Reed and begins wearing down Jey's arm in the ring. He tangles it up in the ring ropes and lands a kick on it, then sends Reed crashing off the apron with another kick to him. Jey delivers an open palm strike to OG Americano back from the break and sits him on the top rope, but Reed gets both Jey and OG Grande up on his shoulders before he lands a double Samoan Drop on him. Reed then wears down Jey with a submission hold and follows it up with a powerslam to him.

OG Grande connects with a German suplex on Jey and lands a diving headbutt on him off the top rope. He goes for a pin, but Reed kicks out. OG Grande then catches Reed with a German suplex and pins him, but Reed kicks out.

Jey and OG Grande stare one another down during the commercial break, but OG Grande fires off stomps on Jey in the corner as Reed is being checked on by medical officials. Jey ascends to the top rope, but OG Grande trips him and joins him on the ropes. Jey then trips OG Grande and looks for the Uso Splash, but OG Grande catches him with a roll up. Jey kicks out.

OG Grande cinches in an Ankle Lock on Jey, but Jey fights him off and rocks him with a superkick. He follows it up with a spear and an Uso splash for the win.

Winner: Jey Uso

Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio then make their way to the ring.

Dominik says Atlanta is in the presence of the greatest Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion, and the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time in Morgan. He says Morgan will finally choose who she faces at WrestleMania 42, then calls Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill to the ring.

Vaquer and Cargill both make their way out, and Morgan says she knows that Vaquer and Cargill are both waiting. She says she has something to get off her chest, then tells Vaquer that her words got to her last week. She admits that Vaquer was right in saying that she's been selfish and how privileged she's been as a WWE wrestler, then says she didn't know much about Vaquer's story to get to WWE and apologizes to Vaquer for judging her.

Morgan opts to clock Vaquer with the microphone across her head, then rains down right hands on her as Cargill leaves the ring. Morgan rocks Vaquer with a codebreaker, then connects with Oblivion on her and holds up the Women's World Championship.

Maxxine Dupri then makes her way to the ring. Nattie follows.

The bell rings and Nattie fires off right hands on Dupri. Dupri responds with a dropkick on Nattie, then sends her crashing out of the ring with a pump kick and lands a kick on Nattie's head. She follows it up with a crossbody to her off the barricade, then sends her crashing into the barricade midsection first. Nattie sends Dupri crashing into the ring post with a kick, then rains down right hands on her. The referee then checks on Dupri, but Nattie continues firing off right hands on her. The referee pries her off Dupri and calls for the bell in an effort to protect Dupri.

Winner: Nattie (via referee stoppage)

We then head backstage to Adam Pearce in front of the crate, where he tells a crew member to send it to Chicago for Elimination Chamber.

Back at ringside, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman makes their way out. 

Heyman introduces himself and says while he's a "Wise Man" and an "Oracle", but says most of all, he's "The Advocate" for Lesnar and says the only dead man walking in WWE is the one who comes down the aisle to face Lesnar at WrestleMania 42. He says he doesn't have a prediction or a spoiler because when himself and Lesnar walk through the locker room, no one would step up to Lesnar for the beating they have coming their way.

Heyman indicates to the Titan Tron that Lesnar will be appearing on the March 16, March 23, March 30, April 6, and April 13 episodes of "Raw", then says he doesn't think anyone will answer Lesnar's Open Challenge for WrestleMania 42.

Je'Von Evans and Offset then make their way to the ring.
