Several matches were announced for the next episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, as well as a title match booked for two weeks from tonight.
When Raw comes back around next Monday night, February 17th at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, four matches are currently advertised for that lineup.
As had been previously announced, the final two spots left to determine for the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches will be settled with Raquel Rodriguez vs. Roxanne Perez and The Judgment Day's Finn Balor against Seth Freakin' Rollins.
There will also be a rematch between Penta and Pete Dunne, as The Bruiserweight is looking to avenge his loss from several weeks ago. Since there seems to be an uneasy partnership stewing between Dunne and Ludwig Kaiser (who lost to Penta last week, and said in a promo tonight that he's not through with him), despite how Dunne and Kaiser spoke about not being aligned, we can assume there will be some sort of interference from Kaiser to try to help Dunne out.
The other match announced for next week is "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio against AJ Styles. This came about after The Phenomenal One was cutting a promo in the ring about his recent injury that nearly ended his career, and was interrupted by Mysterio and Carlito.
Noteworthy for the future is that Styles also had a backstage confrontation with Bron Breakker, seemingly to set up something with the Intercontinental Championship in the future, possibly at WrestleMania. Whether or not that will factor into this match between Mysterio and Styles remains to be seen.
But on top of next week's show, a match has already been announced for the following week as well, and it's a big one!
Since Rhea Ripley inadvertently cost Iyo Sky her Elimination Chamber qualifying match, there's been some tension between the two. Ripley seems to want to squash that definitively as she requested a match from Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, and will be defending her Women's World Championship against Damage CTRL's leader on Monday, February 24th at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio—not because she feels like she has to, but because she wants to have that match.
This is similar to how the WWE Women's Championship will be on the line with Tiffany Stratton defending against Nia Jax to get one more title defense in before WrestleMania.
