Summary
We are just days away from Elimination Chamber, and WWE Raw felt completely LIFELESS. Instead of heating up the Road to WrestleMania 42, this show killed all momentum.
Bronson Reed suffered a legitimate injury, tearing his bicep, which completely derails plans for The Vision yet again. Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar's massive return was wasted on a lazy "Open Challenge" issued by Paul Heyman. Where is the creativity? Where is the spark?
We are LIVE breaking down a terrible episode of Raw where AJ Styles officially retired and was inducted into the Hall of Fame by The Undertaker, but even that couldn't save this show from feeling flat.
Tonight's WWE Raw Review (2/23/26)
•Disaster in Atlanta: Why this show had ZERO energy going into the Chamber
•Injury Bug: Bronson Reed tears his bicep, WrestleMania plans in shambles?
•Lazy Booking: Brock Lesnar issues a generic Open Challenge, GIVE US OBA FEMI
•Hall of Fame: The Undertaker inducts AJ Styles. Is he truly done?
•Chamber Qualifiers: Jey Uso & Raquel Rodriguez take the final spots
•Title Pictures: CM Punk vows to remain champ; Liv Morgan attacks Stephanie Vaquer
