FINAL TWO QUALIFY FOR ELIMINATION CHAMBER

- The final two entrants of the Elimination Chamber matches advanced last night on Raw after two more qualifying matches took place on the broadcast. In the first qualifier, former NXT Women's champion Roxanne Perez defeated fellow former NXT Women's champion Raquel Rodriguez to book her spot in the match. It had the interference of Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, and Naomi, with the distraction being enough for Perez to pin Rodriguez with the Pop Rocks. Then in the main event of the show, Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor in another battle of former NXT champions. Rollins won a long, hard-fought match with the stomp. The two matches are now complete, with Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Naomi, and Perez in the women's match and John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Damian Priest, and Rollins in the men's match. The winner of the men's match faces Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania while the winner of the women's match faces Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania.

ZAYN VS OWENS IN UNSANCTIONED MATCH AT ELIMINATION CHAMBER

- The Elimination Chamber will feature an unsanctioned match between frenemies Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. The match was set up last night after Zayn returned to challenge Owens in Toronto. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce informed Zayn that he is aware that he is not medically cleared to compete but Zayn said that he will not leave the ring until he got what he wanted. Pearce said that if he wanted a match, it would have to be an unsanctioned one with no rules. Pearce tried to persuade Zayn to let it go, explaining everything that could go wrong, but Zayn said he understood the consequences and wanted the match nonetheless. "In Toronto, at Elimination Chamber, it will be Kevin Owens one on one with Sami Zayn," Pearce said. "Sami, it's not official...it's unsanctioned!"

RICKY STARKS TO SIGN NXT CONTRACT TONIGHT

- Ricky Starks will be signing his NXT contract on tonight's episode of NXT on The CW. In a video which aired during Vengeance Day, Starks said that he would be at the WWE Performance Center today and sign his deal in the middle of the ring. Starks has not been mentioned by his name yet anywhere on WWE television or social media, leaving viewers somewhat confused and wondering if he's actually getting a different name. Also tonight on NXT, a #1 contender's match for the Women's North American title will be held between Kelani Jordan, Karmen Petrovic, and Jaida Parker, Shawn Spears takes on Stacks, and a tag match with Zaria and Sol Ruca vs Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend.

TRIPLE H UNVEILS WWE ID CHAMPIONSHIPS

- WWE is adding a men's and women's title belt for their ID project. "The top independent wrestling prospects have been ID’d… and now, we’re ready to spotlight the best of the best," Triple H said in a post on X. "Here’s your first look at the Men’s and Women’s @WWEID Championships." The WWE Independent Development program kicked off in late October of last year with the aim to develop and support the training of independent professional wrestlers. Several wrestling schools and other promotions received their WWE ID designation as well. WWE ID matches are promoted on the official WWE ID X account and take place at various indie promotions between WWE ID talent. Wins in these matches can lead to being featured on the upcoming WWE EVOLVE show.

WWE EVOLVE TO AIR ON YOUTUBE FOR INTERNATIONAL VIEWERS

- The WWE EVOLVE show which will air on Tubi in the United States starting from next month will also be available for international viewers on the WWE YouTube channel. WWE has been using YouTube more and more over the past year, adding more content for mainly international viewers. Announced two weeks ago, WWE EVOLVE will showcase in-ring action featuring rising WWE prospects as they wrestle with the dream of making it to NXT and, perhaps, one day to Smackdown and Raw. The show will premiere on March 5 at 8PM ET and will be a weekly show every Wednesday on the FOX-owned streaming service Tubi. Several weeks worth of shows have already been taped at the WWE Performance Center. Former EVOLVE owner Gabe Sapolsky is heading up this project.

TNA SIGNS MCKENZIE MITCHELL

- TNA Wrestling today announced via Sports Illustrated that it has signed McKenzie Mitchell to a new deal which will see her become TNA's new ring announcer. This is the second stint for Mitchell with TNA Wrestling, having previously worked for the company for three years before signing with WWE in 2019. Mitchell returned to TNA at the Genesis pay-per-view last month. She heads back to her old stomping grounds of Orlando this week as TNA holds television tapings at Full Sail University, the former home of NXT.
