WWE Raw Today: Cody Rhodes Drama With The Rock Recapped, Qualifying Matches

A WWE Raw preview featuring Elimination Chamber qualifiers.

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?
