The push to WWE Elimination Chamber is on as Monday Night Raw takes over the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

2026 Women's Royal Rumble Liv Morgan is expected to be in the house after her trip to SmackDown this past Friday night. Her encounter with WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill led to an impromptu tag team match, which saw Cargill and Jordynne Grace come out on top against the Judgment Day.

Did her encounter with The Storm sway her decision at all? Will she choose a champion to challenge at WrestleMania 42 later tonight? We'll all have to watch her to find out.

While Liv Morgan has already punched her ticket to this year's 'Showcase of the Immortals', six other women will have their shot to do the same inside the Elimination Chamber later this month. The same goes for the men's locker room, and qualifying matches are set to resume tonight on Netflix.

WWE has yet to announce who will compete in said qualifying matches, but as we found out Friday night on SmackDown, Rhea Ripley will be one of the participants looking to join Tiffany Stratton in Chicago. Randy Orton is the only Superstar who has qualified for the Men's Elimination Chamber Match thus far.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is also expected to be on the show, one week after his epic face-to-face encounter with Roman Reigns. We already know that Punk and Reigns will throw down at WrestleMania 42, or do we? Finn Balor is still in hot pursuit of the World Title, and it appears inevitable that he and Punk will battle for the gold again soon.

The WWE World Tag Team Championship will be on the line tonight as The Usos defend their titles against The Alpha Academy. Meanwhile, Maxxine Dupri is aiming to get her sweet revenge on Nattie when they meet one-on-one.

Here's everything we currently know about tonight's episode of WWE Raw from Cleveland. Check back for updates as more matches and segments are announced throughout the day.

The Alpha Academy proved two weeks ago that they are not a team that should be taken lightly. Otis and Akira Tozawa outlasted The New Day, American Made and Los Americanos to become the No. 1 Contenders for the World Tag Team Championship.

They'll get their opportunity to claim the gold tonight when they challenge arguably the greatest tag team in modern WWE history in Jey and Jimmy Uso. 

Nattie vs. Maxxine Dupri

Nattie is not someone that you want to mess with, but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Maxxine Dupri is out for revenge after her former mentor betrayed her and cost her the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

Nattie clearly has her sights set on dethroning Becky Lynch herself, but Dupri has vowed to end that pursuit before it really begins by breaking her ankle later tonight in Cleveland.
