AJ Lee Returns as WWE Raw Elimination Chamber Qualifiers Heat Up

On Monday night, WWE Raw arrived in Memphis, Tennessee, at the FedExForum, bringing fans one step closer to WrestleMania 42. AJ Lee, the former Divas Champion, returned to the WWE brand, sparking a tense reaction from Becky Lynch. Following a brief unraveling, Lynch agreed to give Lee a chance to challenge her Women’s Intercontinental Championship at the upcoming Elimination Chamber event.

Key Matches to Determine Elimination Chamber Participants

Tonight’s show will focus heavily on the Elimination Chamber qualifiers for both men and women. Among the women competing for a spot are three former champions—Bayley, Asuka, and Nattie—who will face off in a spirited triple threat match. The winner will join Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, and Alexa Bliss in the battle inside the chamber scheduled for February 28.

On the men’s side, Gunther, known as the “Ring General,” seeks his first chance to compete in an Elimination Chamber match. He will compete against Je’Von Evans and the current Intercontinental Champion, Dominik Mysterio. The winner will advance to Chicago to challenge Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, and two other competitors for a shot at the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium.
