WWE RAW this week saw the last few slots for the Elimination Chamber being filled, along with other exciting matches and heated moments taking place.
The February 17th, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW was presented from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The show continued the road to the WWE Elimination Chamber with more qualifying matches and explosive in-ring action by superstars.
Opening segment with Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn returns to RAW after being taken out with a Piledriver assault by Kevin Owens. He accepted Kevin Owens' challenge for the Elimination Chamber, but RAW GM Adam Pearce refused to make the match, considering Sami is still not cleared. But Zayn insists on Pearce and claims that he is not afraid of the repercussions. Following a huge verbal back and forth, in the end, Adam Pearce makes the match, but an Unsanctioned match.
AJ Styles vs. Dominik Mysterio
The match was made last week after AJ Styles returned to RAW and had an altercation with Dominik Mysterio and Carlito. The action went back and forth as Dominik displayed an exceptional performance against The Phenomenal One. But in the end, it was not enough to put him down. Despite Carlito interfering, Styles takes him out and counters Dominik with a Styles Clash to win. After the bout, Bron Breakker tries to spear Styles, but he moves out, and Dominik Mysterio gets taken down, leading to AJ taking him out with a Pele Kick.
Ivy Nile vs. Dakota Kai
This contest was a WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship No.1 Contender’s Match. Dakota Kai and Ivy Nile fought with everything they had as a huge opportunity hung in the balance. In the final moments of the bout, Dakota Kai delivers a springboard stomp to the back of Ivy Nile's head. She then lifts her and hits a Go To Kick to pick up the win. As she celebrates, the champion Lyra Valkyria enters the ring to pose with her title.
Segment with Gunther and Jey Uso
The World Heavyweight Champion Gunther mocks Jey Uso by entering him through the crowd. He even threatens Michael Cole and Pat McAfee for running his mouth each week and being a huge YEET movement fan. As Gunther continues to insult Jey and claim that he will end his WrestleMania dreams, the YEET man storms to the ring, breaking through the officials, and a brawl ensues between them. The officials rush to the ring to separate the duo as the segment comes to an end.
Penta vs. Pete Dunne
Pete Dunne looked to gain momentum at the expense of RAW's newest rising star, Penta. The match was a stellar bout pitting two different styles against each other with captivating in-ring action. Towards the end of the bout, Ludwig Kaiser interferes but gets into a verbal altercation with Pete Dunne. Penta sends Pete crashing into Kaiser and hits the Penta Driver to seal the victory.
Raquel Rodriguez vs. Roxanne Perez
This was the last Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match. The upstart Roxanne Perez went up against the dominant Raquel Rodriquez in this high-stakes bout. The match was a stellar showdown and a thrilling experience to witness. Towards the end, Bianca Belair makes her way to confront Liv Morgan. She tries to run but is stopped by Naomi. This distraction costs Raquel as Roxanne hits the Pop Rox to get the three count and pick up the win.
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor
The main event was the Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match, pitting longtime rivals Seth Rollins against Finn Balor. This was their 11th one-on-one match in WWE, and much like their previous encounters, Balor and Rollins put up yet another captivating showdown. The excellent display of in-ring prowess of both competitors, multiple counters, and near falls made it a must-see bout and led to the fans erupting in a 'This is Awesome' chant. In the end, Balor connected with a Coupe De Grace and locked in a cross face. But Rollins escaped the hold and quickly countered with a Stomp to win and get the last spot in the Elimination Chamber match.
