WWE Raw on Netflix delivered a massive episode this week, with both the men’s and women’s Elimination Chamber matches adding new participants. With WrestleMania season heating up, the stakes are getting higher — and the mind games are getting deeper.
Here’s everything that went down on Raw.
Je’Von Evans and Asuka Qualify for Elimination Chamber
Two big names punched their tickets to the Elimination Chamber.
On the men’s side, Je’Von Evans shocked many by defeating Gunther and Dominik Mysterio in a triple threat match. Evans capitalised after Dragon Lee interfered and smashed Gunther in the head with the ring bell, taking The Ring General out of the equation. Evans then hit Dominik with the OG Cutter to secure the win.
For the women, Asuka defeated Bayley and Nattie in another triple threat match. Asuka forced Bayley to tap out, proving once again why she remains one of the most dangerous competitors in WWE. After the match, tensions continued to rise in the women’s division, especially with Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane watching closely.
The Chamber field is starting to look stacked.
CM Punk Gets Inside Finn Balor’s Head
World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk continues to walk a fine line between confidence and chaos.
Punk cut a strong promo defending his decision to give Finn Balor another title shot at Elimination Chamber. He compared himself to a playoff team that doesn’t stop competing just because it’s already qualified.
When Balor came out, he fired back by claiming he’s the real “best in the world” — someone who trained in Japan and fought in Mexico. But Punk flipped the script. He questioned whether Balor could still succeed on his own without Judgment Day.
That struck a nerve.
When JD McDonagh attempted to attack Punk, Balor stopped him. The announce team pointed out that Punk may have planted serious doubt in Balor’s mind. Later backstage, McDonagh accused Balor of letting Punk get to him. Balor insisted he needed to handle things alone.
That tension could explode at Elimination Chamber.
AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch Heats Up
The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship match between AJ Lee and Becky Lynch is officially set for Elimination Chamber — and the mind games are intense.
AJ Lee cut a passionate promo about her legacy, saying she helped shape the women’s division and still has one more big run left in her. She called out Lynch and invited her to take a free shot in the ring.
Lynch stepped in — but refused.
She said she didn’t want AJ to have excuses after losing at the Chamber. Becky claimed she’s been building history while AJ was away writing comic books.
The tension is personal, and this match feels like a major WrestleMania-level rivalry happening one month early.
The Vision Dominates — But the Masked Man Strikes Again
The show opened with The Usos before Paul Heyman and The Vision interrupted. Logan Paul bragged, Heyman complained, and Adam Pearce tried to regain control of Raw.
A six-man tag match was set:
The Vision vs The Usos and LA Knight.
The Vision won after Bronson Reed crushed Jimmy Uso with a Tsunami. Logan Paul even grabbed commentary headsets to boast about their dominance.
But then the mysterious masked man returned.
He attacked Logan Paul at ringside before escaping into the crowd. The Vision looked furious, and Heyman blamed Pearce backstage. Bronson Reed promised to handle the problem himself next week.
The masked man storyline continues to build momentum.
Oba Femi Meets Rusev
One subtle but important moment happened backstage.
Adam Pearce formally offered Oba Femi a Raw contract. As Femi walked out, he came face-to-face with Rusev. The two stared each other down.
It was brief — but powerful.
That could easily turn into a major heavyweight rivalry.
