WWE‘s latest edition of Monday Night RAW goes down tonight (2/13/23) from the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York! Former WWE Champion’s Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley sign their contract for their showdown at the Elimination Chamber premium live event this weekend!
Live Coverage
The show begins and former RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch makes her way down to the ring. Adam Pearce is already in the ring and Becky grabs a microphone and says she’ll explain why Adam’s there in a minute. Becky shouts out Lita for assisting her in her victory over Bayley in a steel cage match during last Monday night’s main event. Becky says her path to WrestleMania isn’t clear but she loves to fight her way into things and ‘The Man’ turns her attention to Adam Pearce. Becky says she knows Adam likes to make fights. Becky asks Adam if she can fight her way into the elimination chamber match for this Saturday night and before Adam can respond, Bayley’s music hits and the leader of Damage CTRL makes her way down to the ring. Bayley says there’s no way Becky can be in the chamber match because of her antics with Lita last week.
Bayley says Adam needs to scrap what happened last week and insert her into the elimination chamber match because she’s actually earned it. Bayley says nobody wants to see Becky vs. Bianca Belair at WrestleMania and Becky points out that Bayley has never main vented WrestleMania like she and Bianca both have. Becky and Bailey start screaming at one another, Adam interrupts but so does the RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. Bianca says she hears a whole lot of chat about her title and finds it odd that nobody thought of coming to talk to the champion herself. Bianca says if Becky and Bayley asked her, she actually likes where it’s going because she always wants to fight the best. Adam says he likes his Bianca is thinking and says Becky, Bayley, and Bianca will square off in a triple threat match and if Bayley or Becky win the match, the winner will be added to the elimination chamber match this Saturday night and the chamber match will begin as a triple threat match. However, if Bianca wins tonight, neither Becky nor Bayley will be added to the elimination chamber match.

Cathy asks Corbin about JBL’s harsh remarks last week and if JBL has left his side. Cathy interrupts Corbin and says something important is going on in the ring and cameras cut back to the arena and Sami Zayn is in the ring! Sami says he’s not here to hold up the show so he’ll get right to the point. Sami calls out Cody Rhodes and ‘The American Nightmare’ obliges and makes his way down to the ring. The crowd is on fire for these two and Cody welcomes Sami to Monday Night RAW and asks him what he wants to talk about.
Sami says everyone is talking about Cody and Paul Heyman’s interaction on last Monday night and when Cody said that he thinks he’ll actually be facing Sami Zayn at WrestleMania instead of Roman Reigns. Sami says he came all the way to Brooklyn, New York to ask Cody face-to-face if his words last week were just lip service or if he genuinely believes that he can beat Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber. Cody says when he said that Sami Zayn will beat Roman Reigns, he meant it. Cody says when he said that Sami Zayn would most likely be his opponent at WrestleMania, he believed it. The crowd reigns down ‘this is awesome!’ chants and Cody says he doesn’t think this is actually why Sami is here. Cody says it doesn’t matter what he thinks and it only matters what Sami Zayn thinks. Cody asks Sami if he believes he can truly beat Roman Reigns this weekend and Sami asks Cody if he wants to hear the truth. Sami says the truth is he doesn’t know if he can beat Roman Reigns. Sami says Cody hasn’t seen what he’s seen because he’s been in the trenches with The Bloodline for over nine months and they always find a way. Sami says Roman being in God mode isn’t just a catchphrase, it’s actually true. Sami says he’s seen guys bigger and stronger than he, who fully believed that they were going to beat Roman Reigns…but they all went down. Sami ponders that after all that, how could he believe that he’s going to be the one to finally knock off Roman Reigns? Sami says he can beat Roman Reigns and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Sami says he believes that he’s WrestleMania main event material because if he doesn’t believe that, nobody else will…but if anyone asks him if he believes he can beat Roman Reigns on Saturday night and walk out of his hometown of Montreal as the champion…he doesn’t know. ‘You can do it!’ chants ring throughout the Barclay’s Center. Cody asks Sami how he couldn’t know when everyone in the arena knows…and Sami’s hometown of Montreal will know on Saturday night.
Cody says Sami’s right and he hasn’t seen what Sami’s seen but for the first-time ever there’s dissension in The Bloodline and that’s because of Sami Zayn. Cody says he won the Royal Rumble this year and he intends to finish his story at WrestleMania and on Saturday night, Sami needs to finish his story and defeat Roman Reigns.

Baron says Roman will walk through Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania because Cody was given everything, including the number 30 spot in the Royal Rumble. Baron calls Cody Rhodes, Cody’s brother, and Cody’s father all jokes. Cody is lurking around in the background and attacks Baron.

Miz stops himself from complaining and introduces tonight’s special guest, Seth Freakin’ Rollins. ‘The Architect’ is sporting the viral big red boots that set social media ablaze over the last week or so. Miz asks Rollins ‘what are those?!’ and Rollins says it’s fashion, something Miz will never know about. Miz turns the conversation back to wrestling and asks Rollins where his head is at, Logan Paul or the elimination chamber? Rollins tells Miz that nobody wants to talk about that and everyone just wants to sing. Rollins leads the crowd with his theme song and Miz interrupts and says he’d rather listen to Taylor Swift and everyone is jealous because he has tickets to see her and nobody else does.
Rollins says his mom always told him if he doesn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Miz says Rollins’ mother is probably disappointed in him because he got eliminated in the Royal Rumble by Logan Paul. Miz asks Rollins why he won’t talk about Logan Paul and Seth yells ‘shutup, Mike!’. The crowd chants ‘shutup, Mike!’ and Rollins says the reason he doesn’t want to talk about Logan Paul is because of WrestleMania…because that’s his dream. Rollins says he, Miz, and everyone in the arena loves professional wrestling and the crowd starts humming his theme song. Rollins says Logan Paul doesn’t care about professional wrestling and calls Logan selfish and soul-less and claims that Logan only cares about money. Rollins says he doesn’t want to talk about Logan Paul is because Logan doesn’t deserve it because all he cares about is attention but what he deserves is to get his teeth kicked in.
Miz says it sounds like Rollins is jealous and Rollins says he knows Miz is stupid, but he didn’t think he was this stupid. Miz says he isn’t stupid and the crowd chants ‘yes you are!’. Rollins asks the crowd if Miz is stupid, which is answered by a resounding ‘YES!’ chant. Miz keeps saying he isn’t stupid and says he and Rollins are the only two-time Grand Slam Champions in WWE history but unlike Rollins, he’s headlined WrestleMania, which is something Miz won’t do because of Logan Paul. Rollins attacks Miz and cracks him with one of the set’s chairs. Rollins lines Miz up for a stomp but United States Champion Austin Theory attacks Rollins form behind. Miz looks for the Skull Crushing Finale but Rollins nails Miz with a super-kick and plants Miz with a stomp. Theory comes back in and plants Rollins with A-Town Down and stands over Rollins with his United States Title.

Elias says he’s heard all of the comparisons between the two of them and says it could be a lot of pressure to be compared to him (Elias).
