Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for February 5, 2026

Arianna Grace guests on commentary for the next match.

Trey Miguel beats Adam Brooks. After the match, Trey Miguel is attacked from behind with the TNA International Championship by Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, much to Arianna Grace's irritation.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Indi Hartwell and The Angel Warriors (Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee). Indi Hartwell welcomes Ash by Elegance back, and says that Ash will regret returning to competition. Lei Ying Lee says she is not just coming for Ash by Elegance, but also for her breath.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) beat Tommy Two Scoops and TW3. After the match, Vincent says that The Righteous does not want a war with The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), as wars are loud and messy; he says that they want to stand beside them, not across from them. He says that The Righteous and The Hardys have different paths, but the same feeling.



Backstage, we hear from The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Matt Hardy says The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) had their tag team title shot and that The Hardys are moving on, and Jeff thinks that The Righteous want to form some sort of freaky new faction. The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Cedric Alexander) suddenly show up, and Brian Myers should be worried about them, not The Righteous. Suddenly, Jeff Hardy is jumped by Bear Bronson, and Matt Hardy hits Matt from behind with the briefcase before The System attack him.

Backstage, Frankie Kazarian shakes hands with Daria Rae before heading out to the stage. Kazarian says he cannot stomach Mike Santana with the TNA World Championship, even though he will give credit where credit is due as he calls Santana "a warrior." He then says that Santana is not a king like him and does not represent TNA with dignity and class. Kazarian then says he fought Santana with a metal plate and nine screws and that Santana "defeated a one-armed man," then proclaims that he will be World Champion again thanks to Daria Rae, who agrees that he has not been treated like a star and that things must change. He then says that there is not a man in Albuquerque, New Mexico that he could not "beat the piss out of" before berating the fans, and says that as fun as that could be, he does not need the hassle. The lights go out, then Elijah shows up and heads to the ring for the next match.



Order 4 (Mustafa Ali and Tasha Steelz) beat Elijah and Jada Stone after Special Agent Zero distracts the referee so that Mustafa Ali can hit Jada Stone with the Highwayman's Farewell.



Backstage, Arianna Grace meets with Director of Authority Santino Marella and mentions that she has gotten into an argument with Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and has said a bunch of things that she did not mean. She then says she is tired of feeling like she is not good enough. When Santino asks what he can do, Arianna asks for a title match to see where she stands ability-wise, and also argues that it would make up for Santino missing her sixteenth birthday. Santino says he will see what he can do.

Backstage, we hear from Daria Rae. 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.



Tessa Blanchard beats Rachel Ley.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Rich Swann and AJ Francis are still recovering from last week's No Holds Barred Match but are now medically cleared. Jada Stone is in evaluation after the Highwayman's Farewell from earlier tonight and is listed as being in serious condition. Ash by Elegance has passed all required evaluations and is now cleared for in-ring competition tonight.

We hear from "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth and Mara Sadé in a football stadium, where the two of them get to see who is the superior athlete. Mara throws a football, then runs towards it and catches it. Meanwhile, Ryan's shoulder gives out. Later, they have a game of darts. Ryan nearly hits a bullseye, but Mara nails Ryan with a dart. They then play a game of Horse in a basketball stadium, which Mara wins handily. When Ryan says that Mara has to win with a trick shot, Mara superkicks him, causing him to inadvertently shoot the ball into a hoop, and she wins with a trick shot.

Backstage, BDE is confronted by Eric Young, who wants him to open his eyes to the truth before giving him the opportunity of a lifetime. BDE is reluctant, but Eric Young gives him the gift of time and gives him a week before giving him his answer.

Indi Hartwell and The Angel Warriors (Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee) beat The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) after The Personal Concierge inadvertently throws glitter into Mr. Elegance's face. After the match, Heather by Elegance attacks Xia Brookside from behind, and Ash and M join in.



We see a preview of Immersed focusing on JDC.

Mike Santana heads to the ring. He addresses what happened between him and Steve Maclin earlier, saying that the TNA World Championship turned one of his best friends into one of his worst enemies, then says that all is fair in war. He then says that if anyone wants to step up to him, then they should stab in his chest, not in his back. Santana is suddenly attacked by The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander), then The Hardys show up only for the numbers game to take over. All of a sudden, Moose shows up and attacks The System from behind, cleaning house to end the show.

Backstage, Christopher Daniels speaks with Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin), saying that the world of professional wrestling is taking them and their talent for granted. He says that they should make some challenges to change that, and challenges Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos to a match for the ROH World Tag Team Championships, stating that they are not defending the titles often and not defending against top tier talent. Dante says Sammy Guevara was supposed to be a pillar, but he has become an embarassment to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Dante declares that Top Flight represents doing everything the hard way and the right way, and Darius declares that they are the alarm clock the tag team division needs before throwing down the gauntlet.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for February 5, 2025

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Switchblade" Jay White, who says that there is no history between himself and Adam Copeland but plenty of history with FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). He says he must rely upon FTR and those he would not usually rely on to take on The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir), as they always seem to have the numbers game. The Death Riders show up, but behind them are Rated FTR (Copeland, Harwood, Wheeler). This leads to a backstage brawl. The brawl soon makes it way to the stage and the crowd before making it to the ring. The Death Riders get the upper hand before Copeland hits Claudio with a Spear, causing The Death Riders to flee through the crowd. Copeland demands an answer from Moxley regarding his challenge for the AEW World Championship at Revolution, and Moxley grabs a microphone and says no, saying Copeland gets and deserves nothing. Switchblade then challenges Moxley and Claudio to a two-on-two Brisbane Brawl at Grand Slam Australia, threatening to make Moxley choke in a pool of his own blood in the process.



Before the next match, Don Callis is showered with "Fuck Don Callis" chants before announcing that Ospreay's opponent tonight is someone Ospreay has traveled up and down the road with and has called "brother:" Mark Davis, who Callis calls "The Ospreay Killer." Ospreay is shocked, then furious.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

Will Ospreay beats Mark Davis after the ref stops Davis from using a turnbuckle that Davis himself exposed, allowing Ospreay to hit the Hidden Blade for the win.



After the match, Ospreay says that since Don Callis wants to crash parties and be a bit of a party pooper, he has a tag team partner for Grand Slam Australia: Kenny Omega. Callis flees as Omega shows up. Omega thanks the Atlanta, Georgia crowd for the warm reception, then addresses Mark Davis, who is sitting near the ramp, saying he has no idea what Callis has on him and that while it may seem hopeless, help is there, and there are people he can trust. Callis is then seen at the stage as Omega announces his return to AEW at Grand Slam Australia, then admits hearing the fans gave him the itch and made him want to come out here as "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher show up. Omega dares them to get in the ring if they want to fight right now, or else they should prepare themselves for Grand Slam Australia. He says it has been a long time since people could really feel what he was feeling in the last few years, and now that he is back, everyone will feel what he is feeling, and that Grand Slam Australia will be the match to prove that the future lies in the company and in the ring.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading to Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet later tonight.

The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) head to the ring. Rapper Westside Gunn is seen in the front row. MVP gives props to Private Party, saying that they were two young people with a bright future who were the wrong people at the wrong time, then puts the rest of the locker room on notice, saying they will hurt people and take their titles. He says that until then, they are open for business, and as he welcomes any team to face them for the tag team titles, The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) suddenly show up. Austin Gunn says they are here to talk business, and MVP allows them to do so in the ring as they are conducting themselves as men, which they do. Austin says they have been waiting for two years for their rematch and that The Hurt Syndicate may have won the title, but they are back. Colten congratulates The Hurt Syndicate on doing their job, then says their job is to take the tag titles back. MVP says he respects The Gunns' moxy as well as their father, then says he is about business as he shakes their hands, and announces that next week, Lashley and Shelton will defend against "a couple of Ass Boys." As The Hurt Syndicate leaves, Austin Gunn takes offense to that statement while accepting the challenge.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Harley Cameron and the Mercedes Moné puppet. The puppet announces that Harley Cameron will be in concert next week, then Harley entertains the idea before the real Mercedes interrupts. Renee asks Mercedes about an opponent for Grand Slam Australia, and Mercedes says she remembers her first victory before calling Harley "nothing but a loser" and telling her to go away. Harley almost flips Mercedes off, but Renee makes her put the middle finger away.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page, who says that his coming after Swerve Strickland was "a moment of weakness" and a "mistake." He also says that "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels overstepped and overplayed his hand, and that he did exactly what he told him he would do and that Daniels will never be able to wrestle again. Max Caster shows up and tells Hangman to wrap the interview up, then asks what it would be like if he put Anthony Bowens or Billy Gunn in the hospital. Hangman says he would love to put someone in the hospital tonight, then implies that he will do it to Caster. Caster laves, but Hangman follows him.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

The Don Callis Family ("The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher) beat Hounds of Hell (Brody King and Buddy Matthews) with a double-team sheer drop brainbuster to Brody King. During the match, Buddy Matthews is briefly distracted by "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada's entrance theme.



Backstage, Hook and Samoa Joe confront "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian in Christian Cage's locker room. Christian Cage almost enters the room with Mother Wayne, but thinks better of it as Wayne and Sabian get beaten up. When Hook and Joe leave, Christian and Mother Wayne get in the room and shove the cameraman away.

MJF heads to the ring. He says all "geriatric" Jeff Jarrett had to do was stay out of his way, but he could not do that, and he had to teach him a lesson: the E in AEW stands for "Elite," not "Elderly." He says that now that "that carny schmuck" is out of the way, he is one step closer to regaining the AEW World Championship, as nobody is on the level of The Devil. Suddenly, Max Caster gets in the ring and says "Hangman." "Hangman" Adam Page suddenly shows up and confronts MJF briefly before going after Max Caster in the crowd. MJF says that nobody is on the level of The Devil again before being interrupted a second time, this time by "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. Rhodes says MJF does nothing but degrade and badmouth people, especially people who are dead like Owen Hart, and tells MJF to keep Owen's name out of his mouth. He also tells him to stop mentioning people's wives and past issues, and tells him that he is not The Devil and that he stayed sober for 16 years and has stared The Devil in the eye. He says he is able to hang with the locker room because he has survived everything MJF can even think of. Dustin says that when he is gone, the mold will be broken forever, as he is better MJF and that MJF's "punk bitch ass" knows it. MJF brings up Dustin's drug problems again, and says that Dustin took 37 years of blood, sweat and tears to get out from underneath his father's shadow. MJF then says that after all that hard work and sacrifice, Dustin then lives in "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' shadow. Dustin punches MJF, starting a brawl that security quickly has to stop. MJF is kept out of the ring, but that does not last, and MJF runs back into the ring to kick Dustin in the groin. When Christopher Daniels confronts MJF on his way out, MJF says "Hangman sure did a number on you, didn't he?"



Before the next match, "Timeless" Toni Storm is revealed to be playing the role of "The Glamour" Mariah May, much to the chagrin of the real Mariah May, who guests on commentary for the next match.

"Timeless" Toni Storm beats Queen Aminata with May Day. After the match, Renee Paquette interviews Toni Storm, who mocks "The Glamour" Mariah May before the real Mariah May confronts her. Mariah May then gets off the ring apron and leaves in a huff with the AEW Women's World Championship.



Backstage, we hear from "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, saying people have been chipping away at him trying to put him in the ground, but he is still here and he lives for blood, sweat and tears. He then says that next week, he will beat MJF's ass.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between "The Redwood" Big Bill and Powerhouse Hobbs.

We hear from The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) for a live edition of New York Minute. Chris Jericho says he has no idea how Bandido considers himself a wanted man when nobody wants him in AEW, then says that he will turn this into a teachable moment and says that next week, he will double the $100,000 bounty on Bandido's head if Bryan Keith can take Bandido out like Big Bill did Powerhouse Hobbs. Powerhouse Hobbs soon shows up and brawls with Big Bill, and The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) show up to even the numbers game. Security soon shows up to stop the brawl, and Big Bill and Hobbs both grab a security guard and choke slam them. Both Big Bill and Hobbs then get in the ring and fight, and both men soon tumble over the announce table before taking out a cameraman.



Backstage, security ejects The Learning Tree ("The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho, "The Redwood" Big Bill, "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith) from the building.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 5, 2024

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring to start tonight's show. As soon as Rollins makes a reference to The Rock, the crowd immediately boos and chants for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Rollins says he wants Cody as much as the fans do and calls Cody Rhodes to the ring. Cody Rhodes heads to the ring, and the crowd soon chants "Rocky sucks!" and "We want Cody!" Rollins says he has been where Cody is now, but he want answers, and he needs their match as much as Cody does. Rollins states that he wants to know that he is better than when they clashed a few years ago, and wants to know he is the best by facing Cody again, for Cody is the best. Before Cody can give Rollins as to whether he wants to face Rollins at WrestleMania, Drew McIntyre suddenly shows up. Drew says he speaks for everyone when he says "What the hell?" after setting both men up perfectly for WrestleMania only for them to screw it all up, and says it should be him and Rollins talking about a championship match. After showing off his new T-shirt where he brags about dashing CM Punk's WrestleMania main event chances, he tells Rollins his "extra-small" shirt is in the back, then tells Cody to finish the story and to not let everyone down, including his father. Rollins tells McIntyre he does not have to be a prick, then tells him that they both went at it twice and that he lost, but McIntyre says there were outside reasons and that Rollins lost to Cody three times. McIntyre says Rollins has done an amazing World Heavyweight Championship and has made it into the true workhouse championship while nobody wants to challenge for the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship because Roman Reigns' family will interfere every time. He says that Rollins has done a great job, then says it is time for him to take it from here. McIntyre hits Rollins with a Glasgow Kiss, but Cody gets the upper hand and knocks McIntyre out of the ring.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Liv Morgan. Liv says the rest of the women's division has nothing to do with her business, and her business has nothing to do with them. She says she has had a year of her career taken away from here, and next week, it is about revenge and Rhea Ripley.

JD McDonagh says Nia Jax will have her work cut out on her. Damian Priest says they will keep their titles on lock as he tells JD McDonagh to take care of The Miz, and R-Truth shows up, still thinking he is a member of The Judgment Day (Finn, Priest, Rhaea, Dominik, McDonagh). Finn Balor is amazed that R-Truth thinks he is still a part of the group, and Damian Priest just gives up and tells R-Truth to make himself at home in the clubhouse. R-Truth finds a box of Judgment Day shirts with his name on them.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews The Miz. The Miz says he does not know if R-Truth is crazy or a genius, but he is able to straddle the line between them.

Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci are in the ring for Gunther's Intercontinental Championship celebration. Kaiser introduces Gunther, who heads to the ring. Gunther says that to the surprise of absolutely nobody, he is celebrating the jubilee of 600 days as Intercontinental Champion. He says that while he appreciates the gesture, he does not need any preparations like the ones in the ring, as his future records are already a given and he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. Gunther says he is running out of competition and that there is no man worthy of challenging him for the title when "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up. Gunther says that the last time he saw him, he eliminated him in the Royal Rumble. Jey Uso acknowledges the work Gunther has put in, and Gunther acknowledges Jey's accomplishments as a tag team wrestler. Gunther then says Jey Uso put in 50% of the work for his accomplishments while he achieved everything he did on his own, and Jey Uso says Gunther will get 100% of "this work" before challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. Gunther tells Jey Uso he is neither the first or the last to ride his coattails, but when he beats him, he will beat him worse than his family ever did and he will send him back to the good old days when people could not tell him or his brother apart. Imperium (Gunther, Kaiser, Vinci) then attack Jey Uso, but they retreat when The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) run into the ring.



We hear from Shinsuke Nakamura, who has no problems with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes wanting to fight him so badly, then says Cody only thinks he has an advantage picking a Bullrope Match when it will bring embarrassment to his family name when he beats him.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown Live recap for February 5, 2019

Charlotte Flair shows up to start tonight's show. She says that the only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance, and last night, Becky Lynch's arrogance got the best of her when she refused medical attention, beat up Stephanie McMahon and got suspension. She hopes that Becky Lynch is thinking more clearly and is doing what she can to get better, then says she knows somebody who is 100% healthy and would love to face "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania before pointing at the WrestleMania sign. Suddenly, Becky Lynch shows up in the stands, and Charlotte demands that security sees that she has a ticket before saying it is one thing to steal from her father "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and another to steal Roman Reigns' entrance. Security shows up as Becky Lynch gets in the ring, and referees and officials show up in the ring afterwards as Becky tells Charlotte she is out of her mind if she thinks she will steal her WrestleMania spot. WWE COO Triple H shows up and tells Becky she is suspended and to go see the doctor, then tells Charlotte to get out of the ring. Triple H tells her to go home again and to see the doctor and get cleared if she wants to get un-suspended. Becky tells Triple H she does not trust him, but Triple H tells her it is what it is. Becky then asks Triple H how Stephanie McMahon is as Triple H leaves, and asks if Stephanie is medically cleared after she punched her in the face last night. Triple H then says that he has bought into what Becky has been doing, and says that Becky is not "The Man;" instead, she is a self-destructer afraid of failure who is looking to be a martyr as well as looking for a way out. He says that getting punched in the face by Nia Jax was her way out of Survivor Series, and that "medical prison" is just a convenient excuse to claw back up to the opportunity she wanted only to back out again. Triple H says Becky is scared of what the doctor will tell her and that she probably isn't even injured at all, and scared that she will go to WrestleMania, face Ronda Rousey and get exposed as "the fraud that [she is]." Triple H then says that Becky Lynch will learn that she fears Ronda Rousey, then Becky slaps him in the face. Both Triple H and Becky stare down, then Becky smiles and walks away, being escorted out in the process.

Next week: McMiz TV with special guests The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)!

We hear from The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), who talk about their Elimination Chamber opponents, Shane McMahon and The Miz, who says that their opponents are trying to be like them but do not have the experience or the struggles. Next week, McMiz TV will be locked down.



Randy Orton beats Mustafa Ali after yanking Ali out of the 054 to hit an RKO. After the match, Samoa Joe runs into the ring and puts Randy Orton in the Coaquina Clutch before booting Mustafa Ali out of the ring. Afterwards, "The New" Daniel Bryan shows up, and when Samoa Joe approaches, Rowan also appears. Joe gets out of the way before letting Bryan and Rowan pass through.



We hear from Samoa Joe, who says that Randy Orton learned that for every action, there is an equal and destructive reaction, and at Elimination Chamber, it will be about destruction and justification for his means when he wins the WWE Championship.

"The New" Daniel Bryan - who is introduced as "The Favorite Son of Washington" - and Rowan are in the ring. Daniel says that he finally gets to talk to people who understand what he is trying to do, and says the people of the state of Washington are intelligent people who realize that change is needed. Unfortunately, as WWE Champion, he speaks to a global audience, and the people he speaks to does not understand that their behaviors destroy their minds, fatten their bodies and kill their planet. He says that people fill their emptiness with deep-fried animal carcasses to get over hump after hump, and that the people of the state of Washington know he is facing an uphill battle, hence why he has created a symbol to rally behind. He calls the old WWE Championship a symbol of both excellence and excess, and says his custom championship belt is not only a symbol of excellence, but a symbol of change. He then says people are threatened by that change, and Rowan says that great thinkers like Daniel and himself are considered dangerous due to their ideas. He admits that while their ideas have good intentions, people fear them and especially Daniel, as he holds the WWE Championship. As long as Daniel is WWE Champion, people will try to silence him. Daniel says people tried to silence him because he is not their champion; instead, he serves a greater power than corporate money, power and greed, as he is the planet's champion. However, the "suits" do not like it and have never wanted him to be champion, and have therefore put him in an Elimination Chamber match with five other men with the WWE Championship on the line. Daniel says he has been there before and knows what it takes, and it only serves to reinforce how dangerous and painful the situation is. He then shows a video package about the Elimination Chamber Match. He then says that "The Phenomeal" AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Mustafa Ali, Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy will be the men who will be locked in the Elimination Chamber, and while all of them want to take the title backwards, he cannot have it. Daniel says that the people, the ignorant masses, and most importantly, the planet, all need him as WWE Champion.



Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Jeff Hardy, who says that it makes him sick how the WWE Championship's legacy has been disrespected by "The New" Daniel Bryan. He says you cannot change the ways of a madman, and says he will make him shut up in the ring. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up and says he agrees, but asks Jeff if he is really the guy who should be champion, but Jeff asks the same of Styles when Styles could not beat Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 5, 2018

The show begins with Bray Wyatt. He says Elimination Chamber is coming, and last year, he won the WWE Championship. He plans to repeat his destiny, but his nemesis, Roman Reigns, stands in the way. He says Roman has fallen so far down the spiral that nobody recognizes him, as Roman lost at Royal Rumble and lost the Intercontinental Championship, and he still displays a bravado he can see through. Bray sees him as a failure waiting to be put out of his misery, and he is happy to oblige, for at the end of the spiral is something far worse than failure: him. We then hear from Roman Reigns, who says that failure is someone who cannot deal with adversity, and stays down after going down. He has had up and downs, but that is the mark of a great journey, not failure. His journey is going to continue into WrestleMania, and Bray Wyatt cannot stop him from becoming the next WWE Universal Champion.

Roman Reigns beats Bray Wyatt to qualify for the Elimination Chamber Match. Matt Hardy is seen watching the match from backstage. After the match, Matt Hardy gets in the ring from out of the crowd, and hits Bray Wyatt with a Twist of Fate.



In the locker room, Jason Jordan is met by Seth Rollins. Rollins wants to know if Jordan is 100%, as this is the last time they will face The Bar and a repeat of Royal Rumble cannot happen. Jordan says he is 100%. Seth tells Jordan this is not about either of them, but what they can do together, and that they need to take the Raw tag team titles back.

Tomorrow night on Mixed Match Challenge: Mandy Rose and Goldust vs. Naomi and Jimmy Uso!

Before the next match, Scott Dawson re-introduces himself and Dash Wilder, and proclaim that they are tag team specialists. He then challenges Finn Balor to a tag team match with either Luke Gallows or Karl Anderson so they can show him how it is done. Finn Balor chooses Karl Anderson.

Finn Balor and Karl Anderson beat The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder).



Backstage, Sasha Banks watches her match against Asuka from last week. Suddenly, Bayley shows up and says Sasha is being too hard on herself. Sasha says if she stops being hard on herself, she stops being herself. Sasha says she came close, and says she can beat her next time. Bayley asks for pointers, but Sasha says she's keeping her tips a secret. Bayley understands, then mentions in the Women's Royal Rumble Match. Sasha says it was every woman for herself, and says she will head to the Women's Elimination Chamber Match and win the Raw Women's title. Bayley, meanwhile, is focused on beating Asuka, saying that she can beat Sasha and that is Sasha can potentially beat Asuka, so can she.

He then addresses the first-ever Women's Elimination Chamber Match. Bayley, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Sonya Deville and Sasha Banks will take on Alexa Banks for the WWE Raw Women's Championship in the Women's Elimination Chamber Match. Nia Jax may be absent from the match, but she will be taking on Asuka. If Nia Jax beats Asuka, she will be in the match for the Raw Women's title at WrestleMania, making it a Triple Threat Match. Suddenly, Alexa Bliss shows up, and she is not happy. Alexa tells Angle that what he is doing is not only wrong but completely unjust, and that it needs to stop. She does not consider this part of "evolution," and asks why the title is on the line in the women's match while it is not the case in the men's match. Alexa then asks if this is the case because she is a woman. Angle says that Brock Lesnar defended at Royal Rumble, while she has not defended since TLC in October. Alexa says she does not make the matches, and blames this on Angle before asking if he values Lesnar over her. She then says that this is not only hypocritical, but also sexist. Angle thinks that Alexa is trying to weasel her way out of the match, then asks the audience if they want to see Alexa Bliss defend the title in the Women's Elimination Chamber Match. The crowd chants "yes." Alexa tells the crowd to chant "yes" like sheep all they want, but she is the Raw Women's Champion and that she demands respect. She then leaves the ring, then Angle asks the crowd if they want to see the match again. Again, the crowd chants "yes."



We hear from John Cena, who says you have to have a plan to make it to WrestleMania. He has qualified for the men's Elimination Chamber Match, now he has to beat Elias and Braun Strowman tonight to enter in the match last.

Sheamus then says that they will kick both Seth and Jordan's heads off for good.

Before the next match, The Miz says that he encourages everyone to look at the sky tonight, as the constellation will look a lot like the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He says that the stars have aligned for 2018 and that it will be the year of The Miz, now that he has defeated Roman Reigns to take the title back on the highest-rated episode of Raw in almost three years, which he credits himself for. Miz then talks about how he beat Roman Reigns again to retain the Intercontinental Championship, saying that Roman could not overcome his overwhelming tide of momentum. He then says that the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles played his recent match for the players to inspire them to win the Super Bowl, then says the best is yet to come. Tonight, he will qualify for the men's Elimination Chamber Match for the right to face Brock Lesnar. At WrestleMania, the cameras will be rolling for his and Maryse's new reality show, Miz and Mrs., and his daughter will be born just in time for when he wins the WWE Universal Championship.

Backstage, Seth Rollins yells at Jason Jordan, calling him "a selfish son-of-a-bitch" and says the only thing he is sorry for is not legitimately hurting Jason Jordan himself. General Manager Kurt Angle tells Jason Jordan to go home and stay there immediately.



Nia Jax beats an unnamed opponent (who is later identified as Vanessa Floyd). Renee Young interviews Nia Jax after the match, and Nia Jax tells Asuka that she is the only woman in the locker room who does not fear her, and that she is the only woman Asuka cannot defeat. She says she will mess her face up so bad that she will wear her mask permanently, and when she is done with her, she will be "the empress of yesterday."

Before the next match, Elias plays guitar for the crowd before asking who wants to walk with him. Elias then calls Des Moines, Iowa "a no-name town," and says he usually flies over small towns like this one looking for anything better. When he beats John Cena and Braun Strowman, he will solidify himself as the final entrant in the Elimination Chamber Match. After that, he will grace WrestleMania. He then says it is a crazy reality that everything WWE will be his, as WWE stands for "Walk With Elias." Elias then says he turned down the Super Bowl halftime show to perform here, and says that was a mistake. He sings a song hoping that he can escape Des Moines. Elias then sings and plays guitar, saying Braun Strowman is just a man and not a monster, and is quickly jeered. He also sings that Brock Lesnar should fear him.
