Phenomenal One scheduled for February 23 show amid Elimination Chamber build
Summary
– AJ Styles confirmed for February 23 WWE RAW in Atlanta
– Multiple Elimination Chamber qualifying matches announced
– Styles previously retired by GUNTHER at the 2026 Royal Rumble
WWE has officially announced that AJ Styles will appear on the February 23 edition of WWE RAW set for Atlanta, Georgia. The city holds deep meaning for Styles, whose legacy is closely tied to the region’s wrestling history.
Momentum toward #EliminationChamber continues with several key qualifying matches already locked in. Raquel Rodriguez, IYO Sky, and Kairi Sane are scheduled to compete for the final spot in the women’s Chamber bout. The winner will secure a major opportunity on one of the season’s biggest stages.
The men’s division will also see high stakes action. Bronson Reed, Jey Uso, and El Grande Americano are set to battle in their own qualifying contest, with the victor advancing to the Chamber match. Every entrant matters as the road to WrestleMania tightens.
Styles’ presence adds another layer of intrigue. GUNTHER forced him into retirement at the 2026 Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, seemingly closing the chapter on a decorated career. Atlanta could serve as a tribute setting for a future Hall of Famer, though WWE has not clarified Styles’ role on the broadcast.
Fans will be watching closely to see whether this appearance is ceremonial or the beginning of something unexpected.
