As we head to Elimination Chamber 2025 in Toronto, three spots remain for the men’s and women’s chamber matches in this preview of RAW in Advance for 02/17/25. This past week, a few matches were announced ahead of this week’s card.
With the Elimination Chamber less than two weeks away, the question is, who will stand to be the last few entries to fill out the chamber?
Finn Balor and Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins rekindle a rivalry between two former WWE Universal champions. While the winner will go on to compete at the Elimination Chamber for a chance to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Universal title, what happens to the loser?
We know about Logan Paul, John Cena, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre, but who will join them in the chamber match? With both Finn Balor and Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins set to square off, the winner of this match is likely to be the final one to qualify.
On the women’s side, who will join Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, and Bianca Belair? Will Raquel Rodriguez qualify and be Liv’s protection in the upcoming chamber match?
RAW in Advance for 02/17/25
AJ Styles vs Dominik Mysterio
Adam Pearce announced over a week ago that ‘the Phenomenal’ AJ Styles would join the Monday Night Raw roster prior to the transfer window closing.
When fans last saw Styles on Smackdown, he was injured during a match against Carmelo Hayes. But now that he is healed, he is officially part of the Raw brand.
If one thing is for certain about Styles, it is that regardless of his age, he can do things in the ring that people years younger could only dream of doing.
This is where ‘Dirty Dom’ Mysterio would immediately thrust himself across the ring from Styles. While a win here for Mysterio would be a career-making win, a loss could only help to set the tone for Styles’ upcoming run on Raw.
Regardless of the result, we can anticipate Carlito’s involvement at some point in the match. This inclusion could also lead to a future match with Carlito and Styles at a later date.

Women’s Elimination Chamber 2025 Qualifying Match
Roxanne Perez vs Raquel Rodriguez
The match result could be quite intriguing in a match pitting the Royal Rumble runner-up against the muscle behind Liv Morgan.
When considering that Rodriguez has been adamant in her desire to stand behind Morgan’s recapturing the Women’s championship, surely she desires to capture singles gold at some point?
While a win here by Rodriguez does ensure that Morgan will have support, can fans truly expect to see ‘Big Mommy Cool’ lay down for Liv?
In the case of Roxanne Perez, a win here would only add to her growing list of achievements at such a young age. Could Bayley play a factor in this match as it comes on the heels of NXT Vengence day? Bayley and Perez were part of a fatal four-way for the NXT Women’s Championship.
RAW in Advance for 02/17/25
Men’s Elimination Chamber 2025 Qualifying Match
Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor
Both Rollins and Balor have the desire to become world champions once again. However, that desire to become champion isn’t without its share of obstacles.
Rollins’ disdain for CM Punk and Roman Reigns could, in fact, blind him from challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship.With Roman Reigns ‘taken out’ at Royal Rumble, he is likely to make an appearance in hopes of ruining Rollins’ chance at qualifying for the Elimination Chamber.
In the case of Finn Balor, it’s clear that there are cracks in the armor of Judgment Day. A win here by Balor certainly feels like a necessity to ensure that Finn matters to this group.
What value does Balor hold to the group in the eyes of his teammates if he ‘drops the ball’? With Liv Morgan already qualifying for the Women’s Elimination Chamber, could she be seen as a more prominent member in the hierarchy of Judgment Day than Finn?
RAW in Advance for 02/17/25
Pete Dunne vs Penta
Penta is in such demand that even Raw talent are fighting each other just to face him! As evident during last week’s edition of Raw on Netflix, fans witnessed Ludwig Kaiser and Pete Dunne arguing backstage over what they plan to do to Penta.
Over the past few weeks, we have seen Penta defeat Kaiser and Dunne, much to both men’s dismay. This time, however, both men are as determined to assert their dominance over Penta as they assuring that they will be victorious.
While there is likely to be one winner, how likely is it that Kaiser could make an appearance in this match? Regardless of the result, will Kaiser want to take a stand against Penta or, at the very least, send a message? One must wonder what messages will be sent before, during, and after this match draws close.
What to Expect:
- New Day addresses last week’s actions as Raw went off the air.
- Lyra Valkaryia discusses her upcoming Women’s Intercontinental title defense against Ivy Nile.
- Rhea Ripley tries not to look past her upcoming title defense against IYO SKY on who she will defend her title against at WrestleMania 41.
- Was the face-to-face confrontation between AJ Styles and Bron Breakker the tease of something greater?
