• Tonight’s RAW Is Facing Issues
A powerful Nor’easter is causing chaos for WWE as they prepare for tonight’s episode of RAW in Atlanta. While the show is set to take place at the State Farm Arena, the massive winter storm battering the East Coast has triggered widespread travel disruptions.
According to Bryan Alvarez, the delays are primarily hitting the production side of the broadcast. This includes the essential crew members, technical setup, and heavy equipment transport required to build the set and run the live television feed.
Despite these logistical hurdles, the go-home show for Elimination Chamber 2026 is currently expected to air live at its regular time on Netflix. Below is the card for tonight’s RAW:
– Tribute to AJ Styles
– Brock Lesnar will return
– Liv Morgan will choose her WrestleMania 42 opponent
– Nattie vs. Maxxine Dupri
– Triple Threat Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion IYO SKY vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Kairi Sane
– Triple Threat Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: World Tag Team Champion Jey Uso vs. “Big” Bronson Reed vs. Original El Grande Americano

• RAW Star Says His Character Wasn’t Supposed To Get Popular
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Rusev explained how his “Rusev Day” character wasn’t supposed to get popular with the fans:
“It was never meant to be over. It was never supposed to be anything. It was just supposed to be a celebration and here’s the key from the mayor of Plovdiv, my hometown, and it just worked for some reason.
I was a heel, but then I started to relax a little bit, show more of my personality and I guess people started buying that. Then Aiden (English), of course, Aiden is such an essential part of this, with the songs, with introductions, with everything. Without him, probably wouldn’t even be the same.
Just the combo work, man, it was just me having fun and doing the backstage with The New Day, and then the first shirt. They did one shirt of Happy Rusev Day, which was the first one.
I remember putting it out in a backstage promo and there’s the huge reaction from the crowd. What? It’s just a shirt. It’s not that big of a deal. But then it just starts picking up steam and people love chanting Rusev Day and celebrating Rusev Day.
I got that sweet treatment. I have a beach towel, I have sunglasses now that says Rusev Day. I have all these things that say Rusev Day. I was like, what is happening here? I couldn’t believe it.”
