Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Rhea Ripley. Rhea says that if Liv Morgan makes it to WrestleMania, she will deal with her then, but for now, she is waiting for Charlotte Flair to make her decision as she tries to stay relevant. Suddenly, Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky) shows up, and Iyo Sky says she is coming for Rhea. Rhea says she will see her then.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Ludwig Kaiser, who says that he will not stop until Penta is down for good. Suddenly, Pete Dunne says he was not helping and that Kaiser got in his way, then says he will break Penta so badly that he will wish he never stepped in WWE. Kaiser steps aside and lets Dunne take a crack at Penta. After Pete Dunne leaves, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles heads to the ring.

As Lyra tells Ivy to back off, Ivy says that Julius and Brutus are leaving as tag team champions tonight.
Country music singer-songwriter Hardy is seen in the crowd.
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles heads to the ring. Styles talks about how he was ecstatic to come back to Nashville, Tennessee almost four months ago and get his career back on track only to get injured. The crowd chants "Welcome back!" as Styles says that his injury was supposed to end his career, and says that he had something to prove and gas left in the tank after he got injured, and while it was difficult to get back in the ring, it was worth it. Styles says that he is back and that he has a long to-do list, then "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Carlito show up. Both Dominik and Carlito are booed out of the building as they try to speak, and Dominik says that things have changed and that The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Carlito, Dominik, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) runs Raw. Styles humorously mentions Damian Priest, Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley not being anywhere before making fun of Carlito's pants and mentioning that nobody likes Dominik before admitting he is inspired by Dominik's work ethic. He says Dominik is here every night, but he will always be "Rey Mysterio's punk-ass kid." Dominik goes for a cheap shot, but Styles blocks it. Carlito gets a Pelé Kick, but Dominik hits him. Styles recovers, and Dominik soon runs away. Carlito fights Styles, and Styles hits him with the Phenomenal Forearm.
Jackie Redmond interviews Seth "Freakin'" Rollins in the crowd. Rollins says the road to WrestleMania is getting clearer as "Main Event" Jey Uso is taking on Gunther, which means that all eyes are on "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, the WWE Championship, the Elimination Chamber and whoever wins in the Chamber. Rollins says that he will win the Elimination Chamber Match when Finn Balor shows up, and says that while all eyes are on Rollins, they are watching his downfall, as everyone is seeing the cracks. Finn says the only thing standing in his way is "a guy who is falling apart," and Rollins says they have crossed paths in the past and have always put on a show. Rollins warns Finn that he has unfinished business with CM Punk, and afterwards, he would like to tie up some loose ends with Cody, which means Finn is in his way. He then says that after next week, Finn will not be standing at all.
Backstage, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles meets with General Manager Adam Pearce and gets a match next week against "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Pearce leaves, then Styles runs into Bron Breakker, and both men have a staredown. Breakker says "See you around," then leaves.
Former NFL wide receiver Golden Tate and country singer-songwriter Bailey Zimmerman are seen in the crowd.

Backstage, Finn Balor meets with the rest of The Judgment Day (Carlito, Dominik, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez). Dominik says things are going to turn around with the opportunies that Liv and Raquel are getting, but Finn says that The Judgment Day is just making excuses. Dominik says he will handle AJ Styles himself, and Finn shoots down the idea of replacing McDonagh before stating that he will win the Elimination Chamber match and become World Champion.
Backstage, Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky) runs into Rhea Ripley. Rhea says she owes Iyo Sky nothing, and is giving Iyo Sky a match because she wants to. In three weeks, Rhea will defend the Women's World title against Iyo Sky. Iyo says "Can't wait. I'll see you then."
CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk admits he did not win the Royal Rumble, and he is not mad at "Main Event" Jey Uso, as he has a goal and he can still achieve it. He then says he will have to win the Elimination Chamber, and while John Cena was placed in the match, he deserves to call his shot. He then says that he busted his ass to earn his shot and that he will beat the living crap out of John Cena in order to come for the WWE Championship, then addresses Drew McIntyre, who he says ran to SmackDown after he beat him. As for Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Finn Balor, it does not matter who qualifies for it, and it does not matter who else qualifies, because it is him who will get his hand raised, as WrestleMania 41 belongs to him. Suddenly, Logan Paul shows up and says he has better names for Punk, then says he cannot understand why the fans boo him and cheer Punk before calling his elimination of CM Punk in the Rumble "the best fifteen minutes of [Punk's] career." After stating that he had Punk's number in the Rumble and will have it in the Chamber, he says it will be time for Rey Mysterio's fifteen minutes when he beats him. Punk tells Logan to worry about Rey, not him, and that he will put him to sleep in the Elimination Chamber.
