WWE Raw Today: Cody Rhodes Drama With The Rock Recapped, Qualifying Matches
WWE Raw will be live tonight from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY.
It's the first episode of Monday Night Raw since the wild WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press event in Las Vegas on Thursday. Things took a huge turn at that presser when Cody Rhodes announced he'll be challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Things got personal, with Reigns and Cody bringing up family members, which prompted The Rock to slap Cody across his face. During the February 9 episode of WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman revealed that Reigns and The Rock will be appearing during next week's episode for the blue brand.
But what about WWE Raw tonight?
You can expect both the Las Vegas media event and the most recent episode of SmackDown to be recapped tonight, as WWE is teasing a power struggle between Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque, and Dwayne Johnson, who is a member of WWE's Board of Directors.
Also set for tonight will be a series of Elimination Chamber qualifying matches. Over on the men's side, LA Knight will be taking on Ivar for a spot in the chamber match. Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed will collide in another qualifier. Someone will also be joining Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair in the Women's Elimination Chamber, as Liv Morgan goes toe-to-toe with Zoey Stark.
Plus, Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER teams with his Imperium stablemates Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci to take on Jey Uso and The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods). Also, self-proclaimed Judgment Day member R-Truth takes on actual faction member JD McDonagh.
