Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has told Cody Rhodes in recent week’s that he wants Rhodes to “finish his story” at WrestleMania and defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
While Rhodes’s path to WrestleMania is already defined, McIntyre’s is not. The Scottish Warrior steps into the Elimination Chamber on Saturday in Perth to earn an opportunity to face Seth “Freakin” Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.
Will McIntyre have some momentum going into the chamber or will he have a nightmare along the way?

WWE – Intercontinental Championship Match
GUNTHER (C) vs. Jey Uso
“Main Event” Jey Uso’s quest for singles gold is here. Uso has lent a hand in recent weeks helping the New Day in their war with Imperium.
Uso stepped up to the Ring General a couple of weeks back at his Intercontinental Championship celebration.
With GUNTHER unable to travel to Perth due to his US residency travel ban, the match takes place here on Raw instead of Elimination Chamber.
Can Jey Uso capture his first singles championship in WWE by toppling the most dominate Intercontinental Champion in history? Will the Ring General overcome Uso and continue his record-setting title reign?
Raw in Advance for 02/19/24 –
8 Man Tag Team Match
#DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) and Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) vs. Judgment Day (Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and JD McDonagh)
The Judgment Day seems to have had enough of R-Truth’s antics and attacked him two weeks ago, with The Miz trying to help his former tag team partner.
Last week, McDonagh defeated Truth in a singles match and Judgment Day beat up Truth again. Since Miz was not in the arena, #DIY came down to help Truth, chasing off Judgment Day with steel chairs.
This week, the tag match happens. Priest and Balor will be defending the Undisputed Tag Team Championship at Elimination Chamber in Perth.
Will they pick up the victory for some momentum going into Perth? Or will R-Truth get some measure of revenge against Judgment Day?

Last Chance Battle Royal for the final spot in the Women’s Elimination Chamber
Shayna Baszler vs. Michin vs. Zoey Stark vs. Alba Fyre vs. Zelina Vega
As seen on Smackdown, Alba Fyre and Zelina Vega lost their qualifying matches, granting them a spot in the battleroyal.*It should be noted Alba Fyre replaced the injured Shotzi in her match against Naomi and the graphic doesn’t reflect that.*
Several people were trying to lobby Raw GM Adam Pearce last week to gain a spot in the battleroyal. Will any of them be successful and get added to the battle royal.
The stakes are huge, win the Elimination Chamber and you are guaranteed a Women’s World Championship match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania. Who will be the final woman standing to punch their ticket to Australia?
Raw in Advance for 02/19/24
Chad Gable vs. Ivar
Hot off the presses, this match was announced on Saturday morning. Continuing Alpha Academy’s recent issues with Ivar, Master Gable will step into the ring against the behemoth Viking.
Can the Viking continue plundering the academy? Will the winds of change blow upon Alpha Academy and change their fortune?
There we have it. The card is quite solid this week, heading into Elimination Chamber. What else is going to happen? Find out this Monday at 8 ET/7 CT on USA or wherever you watch.
