Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 16, 2026

"The Oracle" Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) and interrupts The Usos' (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) entrance at the start of tonight's show. Paul Heyman shows up with The Vision and interrupts The Usos' entrance at the start of tonight's show. Logan Paul has to take the mic, and says that he has a vision to host Raw in the most beautiful city in the United States, which is not Memphis, Tennessee. He then says that The Vision is here, regardless. Heyman has the footage from last week of the attack from the man in the black hoodie replayed, and Austin Theory says that last week's main event was his match to win. General Manager Adam Pearce and says playtime is over, and Theory gets incensed by Pearce's interruption and says Pearce screwed him. Pearce has none of it and tells The Vision to come back to his office and converse like gentlemen. Heyman says he wants Bronson Reed in the Elimination Chamber in exchange for Pearce getting his show back. Pearce says Bronson will have to earn his way in, and that he will be in a qualifier next week. As Pearce demands The Vision leave the ring, LA Knight shows up. LA Knight says the chickens have come home to roost and that Theory screwed himself, then says Bronson Reed is the next and hopes he can kick his ass. Logan Paul reminds Knight of the car Bronson Reed put him through, and then proposes that he not only kicks The Vision's asses, but he also teams up with The Usos to do it, even though they do not have the best history. General Manager Adam Pearce makes the match official.



The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) beat LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Logan Paul runs his mouth on a commentary headset only to receive The Stomp from the man in the black hoodie, who soon flees through the crowd.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce (who is accompanied by a worker played by "The Gold Standard" Eli Knox) notices a crate that says "Do not open until 02/28/26." Adam Pearce tells Eli (who actually says that his name is Eli in this segment) to send the crate to SmackDown. Los Americanos (El Grande Americano II, Rayo Americano, Bravo Americano) show up, and El Grande Americano II is not happy that El Grande Americano I has qualified for the Elimination Chamber, and since he cannot qualify himself, he wants a match for the Intercontinental Championship. Pearce gives El Grande Americano II the opportunity to earn a shot tonight.

We hear from Bayley, Asuka and Nattie before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Asuka beats Bayley and Nattie by submission with an Asuka Lock to Bayley in a women's Elimination Chamber qualifier. After the match, Maxxine Dupri attacks Nattie on the stage, and referees have to break it up.





Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce asks Oba Femi to look through a Raw contract, then tells him that "Raw needs a flagship." Oba says he needs time to decide, but Pearce tells him to take all the time he needs. On his way out, Oba Femi runs into Rusev, and both men have a staredown before Oba Femi leaves.

We see Michael Cole's interviews with Liv Morgan. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio joins in as Liv Morgan announces she will not rush her WrestleMania main event decision and that she will take longer to decide, and that she will not let this moment pass her by. Stephanie Vaquer shows up and confronts Liv Morgan. Vaquer speaks Spanish the entire that she confronts Liv Morgan, and Dominik has to translate for Liv as Vaquer makes it clear she wants a piece of Liv at WrestleMania. Liv breaks down in tears after Vaquer leaves, and Liv and Dominik leave the room. (Vaquer's speech to Liv is translated, as follows: "Did you say ten years of hard work? What are you talking about? You’ve sacrificed nothing. WWE gave you everything. The best training, the best medical, you were given everything. You want to talk about sacrifice? I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn’t exist. And now I’ve traveled all over the world. Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Europe. And I’ve conquered everything. You should be ashamed because you need to hide behind The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Liv, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez). It’s sad because you need to hide behind a man. But let me tell you something. I went through hell and made it mine. Everything I did was to get to WWE and become champion. This title to me means more than just a title. It’s for all the little girls, all the women who never got the opportunity and overcome anyway. Liv, if you pick me, you won’t win. Because I’m going to show you what a real champion is." Vaquer apologizes the next day for her promo for the "I was born in Chile, where wrestling doesn't exist" line, stating that professional wrestling was not developed at the time that she got started, and states that it was a mistake in wording during the broadcast.)



CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says that General Manager Adam Pearce thinks he is jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania, but Punk feels he is making things better and says that the fans deserve a fighting champion. He also states that Finn Balor deserves another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship because he deserves it as much as he deserves the ass beating he is about to give him for ruining the last time he got to share the ring with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Punk admits that while the office is pissed off at him, he does and says things that piss people off, saying he would not be who and what he is if he did not do that. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and heads to the ring. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is not far behind, and neither is a returning JD McDonagh. Punk is about to use the microphone as a weapon as the three of them circle the ring. Finn Balor says they are not out here to fight, and that he wants to make one thing crystal clear. He says that to be the best in the world, you must train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe, learn from the best luchadors in Mexico, survive the toughest dojos in Japan, and show up your first night on Raw and beat Roman Reigns. Finn Balor says he is the best in the world, and when he wins the World Heavyweight Championship, he will not be jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania; instead, he will be making it better. Punk wants to know why McDonagh and Dominik are here, then says he knew who Finn Balor was and that Finn Balor did all he just bragged about by himself, and says that Finn Balor used to mean something. He says that The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez) has been an anchor around his neck for some time and has only dragged him down to their level, as Dominik wears two titles he never defends and McDonagh needs help getting in the ring because his head is so big. This leads to a "bobblehead" chant, and admits that he is a smart man who does dumb things. Punk turns his back and dares the three of them to jump him from behind, saying that if Finn attacks, he will jeopardize his shot at being champion. He also says that while he does not need to prove he is the best in the world, maybe Finn Balor does. CM Punk leaves the ring and tosses his microphone towards Finn Balor, who has to hold JD McDonagh back.



Backstage, Byron Saxon interviews Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Rhea says the road to WrestleMania is always a battle and last Friday was no exception. She says that Nia Jax and Lash Legend got carried away and failed to take their titles, and now they have to take them out. As Iyo Sky speaks, The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Kairi Sane says that Asuka is in the Elimination Chamber and that they will make sure Rhea and Iyo never win and that Asuka is champion. Asuka tells Rhea that she is not ready for the Elimination Chamber.

El Grande Americano II's opponent is revealed to be Penta.

Penta beats El Grande Americano II in a WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 contender's match. During the match, Rayo Americano distracts the referee so that Bravo Americano can hand El Grande Americano II the steel plate for his mask, but Bravo gets dragged underneath the ring. Rayo goes to save Bravo, but ends up pulling El Grande Americano I out of the ring. After the match, El Grande Americano I beats El Grande Americano II up and hits him with the Chaos Theory, then goes for an unmasking as El Grande Americano II tries to roll out of the ring. Rayo and Bravo save El Grande Americano II.



Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez walks off with Liv Morgan, then JD McDonagh tells Finn Balor that he is walking into CM Punk's hands. Finn says he has to prove to himself that he can do this, and McDonagh says he is trying to help him. Finn tells McDonagh that if he wants to help, then he needs to let him beat Punk alone. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is caught in the middle.

AJ Lee heads to the ring. She talks about how she walked in last week for moral support and walked out #1 contender for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. AJ says she had fun getting under Becky Lynch's skin, but was reminded this was serious business after being sent into a ring post. She says she has not had a singles match, let alone a shot at a title, in more than a decade, and that things have changed since the last time she was a champion, there was just one title. AJ says she loved the Divas Championship because she made that championship. She admits that she is not modest and that she knows who she is, and that the women's division that happened after she left was her gift to them. AJ says she wants to face the best of the best, but for now, all roads lead back to Becky. She says that Becky is mad at her for so many reasons, then says it is not her fault because she gave Becky a ten-year head start and Becky has failed to catch up. AJ then says that without Becky, she would not have had a reason to come back and prove that she can still be a champion, and states that if she walks out of Elimination Chamber victorious, then she is walking into WrestleMania as champion. She then calls out Becky Lynch if Becky is in the mood for a fight. Becky Lynch shows up and says this is just an opportunity for AJ to gather family and friends together for a retirement match she never had and never deserved. She says that AJ Lee's real gift was leaving, and that she has been making history while AJ Lee has been making comic books. Becky tells AJ Lee that if she can make it through Elimination Chamber, she can dictate on her computer about her match with her and maybe her comic book can actually sell. AJ Lee dares Becky Lynch to get into the ring so they can throw hands right now, but Becky says she is not stupid and knows that AJ Lee will sucker punch her, but AJ Lee lets Becky take the first shot. Becky gets in the ring and AJ Lee dares Becky to swing at her with her hands behind her back, but Becky says she knows the game that AJ Lee is playing. Becky refuses and leaves the ring, sayings he does not fight in Memphis, Tennessee.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is talking with a security guard (played by Gio Savage) when he sees The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) at his office doors. Paul Heyman has to hold Austin Theory back, then tells Theory and Logan Paul to head to the jet before demanding something be done about the masked man in the black hoodie. Pearce says the masked man is as much of a problem for him as it is for Heyman, then Bronson Reed says he solves problems and that he will take care of the masked man and win in the Elimination Chamber.

Next week: a tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!



We hear from Gunther, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Je'Von Evans before their Elimination Chamber qualifier.

Je'Von Evans beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Gunther in a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier. During the match, Gunther confronts "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio on the outside for having the ring bell hammer as a potential weapon only to be smacked with the ring bell from the top of the barricade by Dragon Lee. Dominik hits the 619 on Je'Von Evans back in the ring only to miss the top rope frog splash, and Je'Von hits Dominik with the OG Cutter to win the match and qualify.

Let's Go! - LFG recap for February 16, 2025

At the Performance Center, Shawn Michaels meets with Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickie James, Booker T and The Undertaker about mentoring sixteen Performance Center athletes, with the four of them competing against each other to become the first LFG Champion.

We are introduced to the sixteen Future Greats chosen for the show. Shawn Michaels meets with them all regarding mentoring and training from the very best WWE has ever seen. Everyone will be broken up into teams of four, each under a mentor, and a mentor will earn one point if a member of their team is declared a standout. They are then introduced to Bubba Ray Dudley, Mickie James, Booker T and The Undertaker. Despite Bubba Ray Dudley saying he is not shaking hands until they deserve it, Bradley "BJ" Ray is taken aback by Bubba Ray Dudley not wanting to shake his hand. Afterwards, the Legends meet with the Future Greats, then see how they do in the ring while also giving advice. We are introduced to Shiloh Hill, Zena Sterling, Drake Morreaux, Anthony Luke, and Dani Sekelsky. We learn more about Shiloh Hill (a former Division I football standout), Anthony Luke (who is trained in multiple sports and whose girlfriend is Maxxine Dupri), and Dani Ray Sekelsky (who started out as cheerleader and worked her way to the NFL).

Ring announcer Alicia Taylor introduces the promo portion of the day. We are introduced to Tyra Mae Steele (an Olympic gold medalist and two-time amateur world champion), Jasper Troy, Leigh Laurel, Elijah Holyfield (the son of legendary boxer Evander Holyfield, who has only been in the Performance Center for one week), Troy Yearwood, Bayley Humphrey, Tatyanna Dumas, Penina Tuialepa, and Brayden "BJ" Ray (a Division I wrestler from Duke University), Sirena Linton, When Brayden "BJ" Ray does his promo, he and Bubba Ray Dudley verbally go at it. The Undertaker does not take very well to the disrespect, and tells him to have some common sense. After Brayden leaves, the Legends agree that Brayden has talent, but that he has the potential to mess it up.





The Legends announce that Dany will face Tyra Mae, while Shiloh will face Anthony. The winners of these two matches will be allowed to pick their mentors. After the wrestlers meet with their coaches for quick preparations, they have their matches.

Anthony Luke beats Shiloh Hill after using the top rope for leverage during his pinfall attempt. During the match, the Legends not that Anthony Luke is not being heelish enough even though he is supposed to be the heel in the match, even though Anthony showed out just a little bit more and showed a little more confidence. Nevertheless, Anthony gets the 3-1 nod from the Legends.



Tyra Mae Steele beats Dana Sekelsky. The Legends notice that the women have more charisma than the men, and that Tyra Mae Steele is a more visible heel than Anthony Luke. The Legends are proud of both them for outshining the men, and Tyra edges out Dana on the vote. Tyra calls her husband on help on who to choose for her mentor.

Tyra Mae Steele picks The Undertaker for her mentor on the advice of her husband. Anthony Luke picks Booker T after seeing him as the best pick stylistically and having grown up watching him. We also get to see Anthony do the Spinarooni, which Booker T says will be flawless if he gets to work with him for a week.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 16, 2022

CM Punk is in the ring at the start of the show. Punk talks about how he is straight edge just like he first did twenty years ago, then says he could sit here and feel pride that this helped shaped his career and others to follow. Punk then brings up MJF, saying that he tries to be like him but could never be able to think like him, then says he is proud of MJF for beating him in his hometown before saying he is really "shitty little Max from shitty little Long Island." Punk also brings up the fact that MJF used the Dynamite Diamond Ring - which he won with help from other people - to cheat to win, then mentions that he has the time and date for his rematch with MJF. He says that the match will take place at Revolution, then looks to the past and the toughest matches he has ever had in order to get MJF to learn something. He says that if MJF wants to be like Roddy Piper, he will have to be tethered to him. Punk then opens the box in front of him and produces two dog collars with a steel chain connected to them, proposing a Dog Collar Match between them. He then calls MJF out, saying he has one more thing to say and wants to look in his eyes when he does. MJF shows up, and Punk tells him to take it all in before producing a picture of MJF with Punk at an autograph signing, saying it was the greatest day of MJF's life, but for him, it was Sunday. He then says Revolution will be the worst day of MJF's life and that he will be sitting on a canvas stained with his blood, as the price he paid to meet him as a kid will be nothing to the price he pays at Revolution. MJF is about to say something, but he drops his microphone and walks away.



We see a video package chronicling the events between Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley and the events leading up to Bryan Danielson vs. Lee Moriarty.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. Jungle Boy says he likes three-way matches and is no stranger to winning a battle royal, and Christian says that while the tag division is changing, they will stay tag team champs.

Melissa Joan Hart is seen in the crowd before the next match.

Bryan Danielson beats Lee Moriarty with a triangle sleeper after knocking him out by kicking his head in. After the match, Danielson says he came to the ring to teach Moriarty a thing or two about violence, then says he asked Jon Moxley to team up with him to create a whole new AEW and teach young wrestlers about violence. Danielson then says he wants an answer from Moxley, and Moxley heads to the ring. Moxley admits he has never beaten Danielson, and says that while the locker room was scared of Danielson when he showed, he was excited to finally get his chance to face him, but now, Danielson wants to join forces with him. He says that he has listened to what Danielson had to say and that while it would be awesome to team up and cause destruction, he also thought about how the two of them could leave a legacy and give back to the business. Moxley admits that no matter how hard he tried, he could not find a reason to say no, but then he got to thinking why Danielson would want to team with him and not stand across the ring from him. He says that Danielson knows that he would do to him what he has done to everyone else for the last three years, and if that is the case, he has already beaten Danielson. Moxley wants to know if Danielson wants to really team up with him or keep from being destroyed, and that he is not saying "yes", but he is not saying "no." He says he does not stand with anyone unless he bleeds with them first.

Tony Schiavone interviews "Hangman" Adam Page in the ring. Before Page can talk about his Texas Death Match with Lance Archer, Adam Cole shows up and congratulates Page on retaining while listing off some of the things that Page has done to keep the AEW World Championship. He says that Page has earned the right to call himself a world champion, then says he has been world champion everywhere he has gone and that it is a shame that his reign will have to end soon. Page says Adam Cole went elsewhere while his friends built an empire without him, and that he is now standing in front of his friend in Bullet Club with the world title he will never hold. Cole says that Page has not been associated with anyone in months and asks what kind of friend he is, and Page says that he is not perfect and that Cole does not have the best record with friends, either. He says that he has regrets and mistakes, and that the more he thinks about it, the more that Cole stepping into a ring with him is one of his biggest. Cole says that Page has gotten good, but now that he is in AEW, Page will be known as "the other Adam" just like in every other promotion they have been in. Page puts his title in the corner to fight Cole, but Cole says he has had nothing but admiration for him. He says that if he could share an AEW ring with anyone, it would be him, and when they face off in the ring, it will be for the AEW World Championship. He then says "May the best man win" and shakes hands with Page. After Cole leaves, Page is attacked from behind by ReDragon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly), and Cole joins in. Security runs into the ring to stop the beatdown, then The Dark Order runs into the ring to force Cole and ReDragon to retreat. 10 then attacks the security guards, and throws the last one out of the ring and into the rest of the members of security that he has levelled.

Larry D says he is not afraid of Rosemary, to which Acey Romero agrees, and says that XXXL will bring the impact tonight and that 700 pounds of force will bring all the impact they need. We then hear from Decay. Crazzy Steve says that "the best hand in the house" is made of flesh and bone, and it can be cut or broken, and when it does, the house begins to crumble. Rosemary says the catalyst for that crumble is fear, and that Decay sees the fear in XXXL's eyes when they tremble. She says the fear will bring them down like everything else and will bring them to their own decay.

Gia Miller tries to interview Moose, but gets no answer.

Cardona is attacked from behind by Hernandez, but Eddie Edwards runs in to even the odds and takes out Hernandez while Myers retreats.

David Finlay and Juice Robinson are up next.

We get another paid announcement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan. Khan says he got no Valentine's Day gifts even though he has done nothing but give, then says his paid advertisement are tax write-offs before running down the card for this week's Dynamite along with Schiavone while insulting The Good Brothers' ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) actions from last week.

Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera are at a bar. Rohit says there is no reason why he should not be two-time X Division Champion, then says it is Shera's fault. Shera pushes Rohit into Storm, but Storm proposes Rohit apologize so they and Chris Sabin can have a good time. When Rohit refuses to apologize, Storm hits him in the head with a beer bottle, and Shera steps up only to be warned not to do this by Sabin.

He says that while Jake pinned him and the sickness won, Joe Doering made him suffer.

Lethal says he does not even know where to begin, as there is so much pressure on me other than being ROH World Champion. He says he has watched the company he has put his heart and soul into deteriorate before his very eyes, and guys like Bully Ray and The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) run around and cause chaos because they can. He says that he will not stand for this anymore, and he says that the worst part about it is that there is a man with a fake belt running around with a fake World Championship. Lethal says that when he thinks about this, his soul cries out for change in ROH, which he says will change soon. Suddenly, Lifeblood (Juice Robinson, Mark Haskins, David Finley, Bandido, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, Tenille Dashwood) shows up, and Juice Robinson says they are speaking the same language. Lethal tells Robinson says it does not end with them, and says he does not want to join Lifeblood, but Robinson says there was never an invitation. Lethal tells Robinson he respects that, and that he believes they want what is best for the company. He gives massive respect to each individual wrestler in Lifeblood, then tells Robinson he does not have to tell him what he has to do to get ROH back on track. He says that he believes Lifeblood can get ROH back on the track it should be on, but he has tried and it is not easy. He wishes Lifeblood luck, but as he leaves the ring, Robinson tells Lethal that they both feel the same way, and says that if there are more like-minded individuals like them in the back, then they should stop singing and start bringing. He then tells Lethal to find four such individuals, then they can get to it. Lethal says he has so much on his plate, but since Lifeblood want to lead by example, he is willing to do this and give the fans a match they can be proud of next week.

Eddie Edwards is looking for Davey Richards backstage...

Brandi Rhodes and Moose congratulate each other on a job well done backstage.

Eddie Edwards shows up, and says he's here to whip Davey Richards' ass...something he thought he'd never say until the events of last week's main event. He calls out Davey, telling him to take his ass whipping like a man. Angelina Love shows up, saying he only gets Davey when she says he gets Davey. She wants to know where Eddie was when Davey tore his ACL and was healing from his injury, and says Eddie was out doing his own thing. She then brings out Davey, and Eddie tells Angelina to give Davey his balls back so he can explain himself. Davey says he made Eddie as well as the Wolves Nation, and if Eddie is smart, he will walk away before he exposes him like the little bitch that he is. Eddie immediately runs towards him, starting a brawl, and security has their hands full. Eddie gets back in the ring and challenges Davey to an anything goes street fight tonight.



In footage from last week, "The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Braxton Sutter are at a bachelor party for Sutter that Bennett has set up. It becomes pretty obvious that Braxton Sutter doesn't want to be here and the people that are here for the party aren't exactly friends of Sutter, either.

The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero) are at the arena in Tijuana, Mexico, for the search of some tag team champions.





Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Sienna and Laurel Van Ness run into Allie's decorations for Laurel's bachelorette party, and Maria is not impressed. Maria wants Allie to step it up as Laurel Van Ness is marrying Braxton Sutter...which makes Allie sad pretty quickly.

Eli Drake tells Tyrus he left him last week because he didn't watch his back and didn't stay in the background like he has his entire career. He says he could have picked a stipulation for his match with EC3, but he didn't. He tells him to stay in the background, like he has his entire career, and that he owns him. Tyrus grabs him by the throat, tells Eli he doesn't own him, and challenges him to a match next week.



In Tijuana, Mexico at the Auditorio Municipal, Konnan sets up an impromptu meeting with The Broken Hardys, who are only here for tag team gold and aren't interested in getting paid.
