Aj Styles to be honored on Raw go‑home show before Elimination Chamber
WWE will pay tribute to the career of aj styles on Monday Night Raw, the go‑home edition ahead of this weekend’s Elimination Chamber. The company says Styles will return to Raw tonight at 8 p. m. ET (5 p. m. PT) to receive the recognition.
Aj Styles tribute hyped by Adam Pearce
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce promoted the tribute in a Raw preview post on his personal social media, his first Raw preview since before the Royal Rumble. Pearce called the moment a chance for fans and colleagues to say thank you to one of the best of his generation, and said the appreciation would become official on Raw.
Raw airs from State Farm Arena in Atlanta at 8 p. m. ET
Monday Night Raw will broadcast live at 8 p. m. ET from State Farm Arena in Atlanta and streams exclusively on Netflix. The episode is the final Raw before Elimination Chamber and includes several matches that will directly shape the pay‑per‑view picture.
Matches, returns and WrestleMania decisions on the card
The show’s card features multiple Elimination Chamber qualifiers: Bronson Reed, Jey Uso and Original El Grande Americano will meet in a Triple Threat Match for the final men’s Chamber spot, while IYO SKY, Raquel Rodriguez and Kairi Sane will battle for the final women’s Chamber slot. World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is scheduled to address his title match against Finn Bálor and his upcoming WrestleMania showdown against Roman Reigns.
Other confirmed items on the card include Brock Lesnar’s return to Raw, Liv Morgan making her WrestleMania opponent choice between Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill, and a rematch between Maxxine Dupri and Nattie after a recent brawl that ended with a Sharpshooter on the announce table.
The company’s notice says aj styles will appear on the show to receive the tribute, closing a brief and awkward farewell that followed his sudden retirement in Saudi Arabia and giving him a chance to address that moment on Raw.
This Raw preview also notes that Pearce’s post came after a pause in preview activity — his last Raw preview was six days before the Royal Rumble — and that plans were kept close following an injury to Bron Breakker.
Raw begins tonight at 8 p. m. ET from State Farm Arena in Atlanta and will set final storylines and participants for Elimination Chamber, which follows this weekend.
