WWE Raw goes live from the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee on February 16, 2026 — just 12 days before Elimination Chamber.
Memphis is synonymous with professional wrestling. The home of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler represents a lineage younger fans only know through documentaries. The echoes of territory-era wrestling still shape the atmosphere — and that energy needs to show up on screen.
With online chatter swirling about WrestleMania 42 ticket momentum, this episode carries added importance. WWE isn’t just finalizing the Elimination Chamber card — it’s selling urgency. The company needs fans buying flights to Las Vegas and U.S. viewers locking in their ESPN subscriptions for February and April.
The Usos WrestleMania Match
Jimmy Uso told Jey last week that he needs him to win the Chamber. Jey hasn't been announced for a qualifier yet. More intriguing is the possibility WWE is building toward a historic Usos tag team match at WrestleMania instead.

Vaquer vs. Morgan Is Logical Choice
Liv Morgan remains undecided about her WrestleMania opponent, but expect this Raw to push Stephanie Vaquer further into focus as the likely choice.
And in Memphis, there’s one more possibility worth mentioning: bring out Jerry “The King” Lawler. Play the music. Let the crowd stand. He may not call a match, but give him his flowers while he can still hear the cheers.
