Get ready because it's time for the post-Elimination Chamber 2024 edition of WWE Raw.

Monday Night Raw this evening is being held inside the SAP Center in San Jose, California. There is plenty to dive into once the red brand airs its weekly show following WWE's trip to Perth this past Saturday. That includes two world title matches set for WrestleMania 40.

We're just 40 days away from the biggest wrestling event of the year, so let's not waste any time.

The Rock Drops Bombshell Announcement On WWE SmackDown Future

After Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins took out Austin Theory during The Grayson Waller Effect at Elimination Chamber, Waller had some words for "The American Nightmare." In a video taken backstage earlier today, Grayson Waller said he felt disrespected by Rhodes at WWE's recent PLE, and he wants to take his anger out on the two-time Royal Rumble winner tonight.

That's not all as Sami Zayn will look to get even with Shinsuke Nakamura. "The King of Strong Style" had some help from Drew McIntyre when he defeated Zayn on the February 12 episode of Monday Night Raw. Will lightning strike twice?

In addition, fans tuning into the show tonight will witness a tag team Street Fight. It'll be Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day taking on Imperium's Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.

Now that a Women's World Championship match between titleholder Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch is official for WrestleMania 40, what will "The Man" have in store for the champion? Will the dark side of Ripley stay intact after feeling the love from her home country this past weekend?

Keep refreshing this page for live WWE Raw results throughout the evening, starting at 8 p.m. ET.

WWE Raw Results (February 26, 2024)

Arrivals of Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch were shown to start the show before cutting to a recap of the Elimination Chamber PLE.

Dominik Mysterio was in the ring and fans inside the SAP Center booed relentlessly. Dom introduced the Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley.

Ripley discussed her win over Nia Jax before Becky Lynch made her way out. Becky gave Rhea her props for having a successful homecoming, that was until Becky said now Ripley's family won't get to see her lose at WrestleMania 40.

Rhea returned her congratulations to Becky for winning the Chamber match. She said behind every great "Man" is a greater woman. Rhea made it clear she isn't behind Becky, however.

Nia assaulted Becky from behind out of nowhere. She then landed two leg drops on Becky. Jax was going to squash Lynch with the Annihilator, but Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE officials stopped her.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviewed Nia Jax. Nia vowed to ensure Becky won't make it to WrestleMania. Nia vs. Liv Morgan has been booked for later tonight.

Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Zayn landed a moonsault from the barricade onto Nakamura. He sold his ribs going into the commercial break.

As expected, Nakamura began targeting the ribs, landing two knees to the side of Zayn. Sami countered Kinshasa with a Michinoku Driver for a two-count. Nakamura landed a forward suplex on the apron, and we're already in commercial again.

Nakamura charged in, but got nailed with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Sami only managed a two-count on that one. Zayn missed a Helluva Kick, and Nakamura kneed him from the turnbuckle for a near fall.

Winner: Raquel Rodriguez

Cathy Kelley spoke with Cody Rhodes. Cody said he awaits The Rock's rebuttal on WWE SmackDown this Friday.

GUNTHER made his way out with Kaiser and Vinci. He admitted he almost lost to Jey Uso last Monday, but he's still close to perfection. He questioned who will challenge for his IC title at WrestleMania. Surprisingly, The Judgment Day interrupted GUNTHER.

Damian Priest warned GUNTHER that The Judgment Day is looking to add more gold, including the IC title. Dominik then said the Intercontinental Championship belongs to The Judgment Day, before GUNTHER shoved him. Priest was held back by his stablemates.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley showed concern for Dominik stepping up to GUNTHER. Dom ran into Andrade before trying to smooth things over with Rhea.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs. Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci) - Street Fight

The brawl started on the stage and when the action returned from commercial break, it spilled into the crowd. When the match returned to the ring, "We Want Tables" chants rained down. Kaiser grabbed a chair instead and nailed Woods with it.

Winners: Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark

R-Truth was backstage with Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, and The Miz at The Judgment Day's hideout. Ciampa said he has a plan to get back at The Judgment Day. Truth took a TV.

Drew McIntyre sarcastically thanked fans for praying for him to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. He said his eardrum blew out during Elimination Chamber, and a doctor told him he may not make WrestleMania, but he told the doctor that he isn't CM Punk.

Drew then did the famous Punk sitdown. He said he knows Punk is straight edge, so he drank enough for the both of them when he won the men's Chamber match. Seth Rollins made his way out.

Drew questioned why Rollins is making it hard on himself by helping Cody Rhodes to fight against The Rock, Roman Reigns, and The Bloodline. McIntyre said Rollins should back off the Cody story.

Seth said some risks are worth taking. He questioned if McIntyre is wrong and what if The Bloodline can be taken down to save the wrestling industry.

Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan

Liv dropkicked Nia right away and went after her in the corner. She went for a hurricanrana, but Nia lifted her up for a Samoan Drop. Nia locked in a Stretch Muffler and send Liv head-first into the second turnbuckle. Nia missed a leg drop on the apron, and Liv hit a suicide dive going into a commercial break.

Liv went up the top turnbuckle and hit a missile dropkick. Morgan hit the Codebreaker from the second rope, but Nia kicked out at two. Becky Lynch attacked Nia Jax, and the bell rang.

Becky hit Nia on the announce table multiple times before Jax made her escape.

Jey Uso was interviewed by Jackie, who asked how Jey plans to get back in the singles title picture. Drew interrupted, telling Jey that he deserved being screwed in his IC title match last week. The two ended up brawling backstage.

Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso has been announced for next week's episode of Monday Night Raw. There will also be the aforementioned grudge match between Becky Lynch and Nia Jax.

Cody Rhodes vs. Grayson Waller

Rhodes landed a stalling front drop suplex on Waller. Cody then clotheslined Waller out of the ring. Michael Cole claimed that word has been spreading that "The Wiseman" Paul Heyman is backstage. He had actually been seen briefly in the background of Waller's interview pre-match.

Cody hit the Disaster Kick on Waller for a two-count. Austin Theory got on the apron and distracted Cody. This allowed Waller to drop "The American Nightmare." Cody responded by hitting Theory with a suicide dive.

Heyman told Cody to withdraw his challenge from The Rock or else. Cody said he and the WWE Universe used to be fans of The Rock. Heyman's goons got in the ring and Cody threatened them. Rhodes then absolutely destroyed the henchmen. Rhodes said he's hunting The Bloodline, not the other way around.
