Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 9, 2026

Becky Lynch finds out that AJ Lee is in the building backstage.

It is announced that Bron Breakker has been injured while training and has successfully undergone surgery, and that Bron Breakker will be out indefinitely.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Becky is absolutely furious as she states there is only so much disrespect that she can take, and that she came out here to announces that the corruption would be overthrown at Royal Rumble, but she has found out that AJ Lee is here tonight. AJ Lee shows up, much to Becky's annoyance, and says she is here to support Maxxine Dupri and hang out in catering, but Becky calls AJ Lee a little chihuahua who keeps barking and ruining her life. AJ Lee remembers the two times she beat Becky Lynch and cost her her title against Maxxine Dupri, but Becky is about to snap as she wonders what it will take to get rid of AJ Lee before challenging her to a match at Elimination Chamber. AJ Lee thinks that Becky is either having a nervous breakdown or actually wants to go one-on-one with her, then finds it flattering and mentions she has not been in a singles match in over a decade. AJ Lee then wonders if that will make her lucky or better if she beats Becky, then realizes that would make her #1 contender for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, which causes Becky to repeatedly say "No!" AJ Lee then says she will go back to Chicago, Illinois, stating "No title, no match." Becky relents, then says that if AJ thought she was held down by the man before she left, then she has no idea what she is in for.

The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) retain the World Tag Team Championships against Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa). After the match, Byron Saxton interviews The Usos. Jey says Alpha Academy held it down tonight, and Jimmy says they will remain the best tag team in the game on the road to WrestleMania. He then wants Jey to qualify for and win the Elimination Chamber match, then go back to being the main event.

Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio head to the ring. Dominik gives Liv some flowers and Valentine's Day candies, and Liv tells Dominik that she will give him his gift later before declaring herself the greatest Women's Champion and Royal Rumble winner of all time. She says that she put Jade Cargill and Stephanie Vaquer on notice and claims that they are scared of her, because they know that whoever she picks will lose their title at WrestleMania. Dominik is about to speak when Vaquer shows up and heads to the ring, then tells Liv that she talks too much before addressing her in Spanish. Dominik refuses to repeat what Vaquer said to Liv before responding. Vaquer says that Dominik said he is a little bitch, then Liv says Vaquer is not capable of filling her "Hot girls love Dominik Mysterio" shirt. Vaquer says that she hopes Liv picks her so she can kick her ass, but Liv says she is going to take her time before calling her a "puta." An angry Vaquer responds by slapping Dominik.

We hear from Rhea Ripley, Ivy Nile and Lyra Valkyria before their Elimination Chamber qualifier match happening tonight.

Rhea Ripley beats Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile in a women's Elimination Chamber qualifier after Lyra hits Ivy Nile with Nightwing only for Rhea to save the match with a running knee and hit Riptide on Lyra.

Backstage, Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio meet with Raquel Rodriguez when they all notice Finn Balor. Dominik tells Finn that things will be better soon with JD McDonagh returning, but Finn says he is not done with CM Punk and the World Heavyweight Championship, and that he is tired of being an afterthought.

Michael Cole is about to interview CM Punk in the ring when Finn Balor shows up, takes the microphone and says that everyone has forgotten about what he did to CM Punk two weeks. He says that Punk is hurt because he hurt him, and that he will not let Roman Reigns take advantage of his kill, much like how Roman Reigns took advantage of the top rope when he had him beat. Finn says he is tired of being an afterthought and being pushed around, and he wants Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber, saying that Punk beat him on his own turf and that he will beat Punk on his. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with security and tells Finn Balor that he is too late and that the World Heavyweight Championship is already spoken for, and tells him to leave or else he will send security after him. CM Punk shows up and chases Finn out of the ring after Pearce tries to reason with him. Punk says that Finn is the first thought and that he deserves an ass beating instead of a title shot, then dares him to get in the ring. Finn tells Punk to put his title on the line so he can finish what he started two weeks ago, and Punk says they can do this right now or at Elimination Chamber. Pearce refuses, but Punk tells him to give him what he wants or else he will chase Finn and knock his teeth down his throat. Pearce refuses, but Punk tells him to give him what he wants or else he will chase Finn and knock his teeth down his throat. Pearce relents and makes the match official for the World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber. Finn is escorted away through the crowd, then Punk lets Michael Cole go with the interview. Michael Cole asks Punk why he would jeopardize the main event of WrestleMania like he just did, but Punk says he is building and chasing greatness by being a fighting champion. He says that chasing greatness comes with the responsibility of proving that he is the best in the world, and that he is brave enough to know that without risk, there is no reward, and he is brave enough to put it all on the line for the fans every Monday night. Punk knows it could happen any night at any city, but he does his best to make sure it does not happen. He then says he does not believe Roman Reigns when Roman says he hates him, and that he really hates being unable to stop what Punk is building. Punk then proclaims that WrestleMania will end with him still holding the World Heavyweight Championship.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory). Paul Heyman considers Pearce an adversary more worthy than he anticipated, then puts what happened to Bron Breakker at Royal Rumble on Pearce. Pearce says that Bron Breakker is one of the keys to the future and that nobody wants Breakker back faster than him, then mentions Austin Theory's qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber and tells the rest of The Vision not to get involved in it. Heyman asks if this is a threat or a declarative statement. Pearce says this is a threat, and as The Vision leave, Logan Paul boldly asks Pearce what he will do if they get involved. He then states that this is a rhetorical question, and "Big" Bronson Reed has to hold Logan back. Bronson tells Logan that Pearce is his problem now, not Logan's.

Nattie vs. Maxxine Dupri ends in a no-contest after Nattie gives Maxxine so much of a beatdown that Maxxine can barely protect herself. After the match, Nattie puts Maxxine Dupri in a Sharpshooter on the announce table before AJ Lee shows up and chases Nattie away.

El Grande Americano I knocks El Grande Americano II and goes for his mask, but Rayo Americano saves El Grande Americano II by pulling him out of the ring.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews a guffawing Gunther, who says he could not care less about Dragon Lee and is focused on WrestleMania. He says his road should have started when he retired Goldberg, but instead, it starts next week. He says the result will be the same and that he will walk out of WrestleMania as a world champion.

LA Knight beats Austin Theory and Penta in a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier. During the match, Logan Paul and "Big" Bronson Reed show up and attack LA Knight, with Bronson hitting Knight with a Tsunami as Logan Paul distracts the referee. As General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with security and forces Bronson and Logan to the back, Theory hits The Stomp on Knight, then goes for the pinfall only to be pulled out of the ring by Penta. Penta fends off Theory on the outside only to get launched into the announce table back first, then a man clad in all black superkicks Theory before hitting Theory with The Stomp, tossing Theory back into the ring and fleeing through the crowd while Logan Paul gives chase. Theory gets up, but so does Knight, and Knight hits Theory with the BFT for the win and to qualify for the men's Elimination Chamber match.

McIntyre says he has gone through hell to become WWE Champion again and that he has earned the title, which he considers "the number one title." He says Roman picked CM Punk because he would kill Roman without his "Samoan army," then says that he has the entire roster climbing over each other to face him while Roman and Punk keep "aura farming." As McIntyre makes his way to the back, Trick Williams shows up and says that he will watch the main event from ringside, then says McIntyre is worried about all the wrong things when he should be worried about him taking his title at WrestleMania.

She announces that at No Surrender, Trey Miguel will face Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo for the TNA International Championship, The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) will face Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Special Agent Zero), and in the main event, Mike Santana and Leon Slater will face "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and Eddie Edwards. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and says that Lei Ying Lee will be defending the Knockouts World Championship against Arianna Grace. Daria Rae thinks this screams of nepotism and gets angry at Santino for making this match, saying that he is too emotional. When Daria Rae notices that Steve Maclin is saying goodbye to some people, she takes him as an uninvited guest and gets angry. Steve Maclin then looks at the camera and talks about how TNA was home for him for five years and made him a two-time International Champion as well as a World Champion. He admits he may not show his emotions very much, but he loves TNA for its locker room sticking together through thick and thin. He says he is happy to leave TNA with his head held high and a tear in his eye, and says you can leave everything to something, but it will always do what it has to do. He then says goodbye to Mike Santana, who thanks Maclin for welcoming him back and showing him that he had what it took to be in TNA before thanking him for his selflessness. Maclin then pretends to leave before attacking Santana, and security had to pull Maclin off as he says that his own selflessness is the problem as he is taken out of the arena.
