Aj Styles Hall of Fame
After AJ Styles officially retired, Undertaker arrived on Raw to announce that The Phenomenal One would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The announcement came as part of a tribute segment on the February 23 show at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Gunther interruption and Dragon Lee
Gunther interrupted the start of the tribute to AJ Styles, taking exception to the segment. Raw general manager Adam Pearce ordered Gunther out of the arena; The Ring General left under protest. Moments later, Dragon Lee ambushed Gunther — the second time Lee has attacked him in as many weeks. The attack and the earlier interruption set an agitated tone for the show.
Cody Rhodes, The Vision and The Usos
Former undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes made a ring appearance but was interrupted by The Vision, the heel faction led by Paul Heyman. The Vision cut a promo and attempted to ambush Cody Rhodes before the segment escalated: The Usos came out as backup for The American Nightmare, forcing The Vision to retreat. The Usos are identified in the show as World Tag Team Champions.
Jey Uso qualifies for the Chamber
Jey Uso defeated Bronson Reed and the "Original" El Grande Americano in a Triple Threat match to claim a final spot in the Elimination Chamber. El Grande Americano showed immense strength when he took Reed out of the contest with an enormous German suplex, and at one point Reed appeared to suffer a wrist or forearm injury that required medical attention at ringside. With the battle down to Uso and Americano, Jey uncorked a spear and delivered an Uso Splash to pick up the win and "cash his ticket to Chicago. " The show noted Jey Uso is headed to the Elimination Chamber on Saturday for a shot at headlining WrestleMania in a world title match for the second consecutive year.
Liv Morgan chooses Stephanie Vaquer
2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan, flanked by beau Dominik Mysterio, revealed which champion she will challenge at WrestleMania 42. After calling out both Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill, Morgan said she was telling her story at WrestleMania 42, blasted Vaquer with the microphone, beat her down and left her lying following an ObLIVion.
Nattie knocks out Maxxine Dupri
Nattie attacked Maxxine Dupri from the opening bell and ultimately won referee stoppage after ruthlessly knocking Dupri out at ringside. The program noted the pair previously fought to a double count‑out on Raw on February 9.
Other show notes: Raquel Rodriguez also qualified for the Elimination Chamber, and the card included segments and matches designed to set the final build toward the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 42.
Closing: The February 23 Raw in Atlanta combined a Hall of Fame announcement from Undertaker with qualifying matches, backstage scuffles and a decisive stoppage, leaving the card set for the upcoming Elimination Chamber events in Chicago and the WrestleMania 42 title picture.
