Jey Uso started Raw with a promo. His entrance was longer than usual so the fans could do the arm-swinging with him and a lot of “Yeet” chants. Jey said that he came into the game 15 years ago with his twin brother to carry on his family legacy.

Jey said that he wasn’t always confident about being a singles star. Jey admitted that he didn’t have it, but coming out here tonight…I got it now. There were more “you deserve it” chants. Jey said he worked really hard to get to this spot and he was emotional with tears in his eyes. Jey said he got it because of the fans.

Gunther told Jey he’s in the process of building a legacy for himself and beating Jey doesn’t add to his legacy. Gunther said that beating Cena, Roman or CM Punk would have added to Gunther’s legacy. Gunther told Jey that he has everything to gain while Gunther has everything to lose and Gunther said he’ll have to give himself something to gain in all of this. Gunther told Jey if you choose him then every week will be hell and WrestleMania will be the most horrible display of violence that this business has ever seen. Gunther told Jey he’d put him down like a diseased dog. Gunther told Jey he had options, so Jey should consider them. Gunter tried to leave, but Jey told him to stop. Jey said that he is tired of everybody telling him what he’s supposed to be because he’s a tag team guy and he’s not supposed to win the Royal Rumble. Jey said that he’s going to go to Smackdown and holler at Cody. Jey said that whoever he chooses, he’s walking into WrestleMania as the 2025 Royal Rumble winner. Jey said he’s guaranteeing us that he’s walking out of WrestleMania as a champion. Jey left.

The Women’s Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair did a promo in the ring. Flair was in the news for her personal life because it was revealed on Monday that she has divorced Andrade. I wish them both the best as they continue to work for the same company. It’s not easy being married in the wrestling business. It is also her third divorce and her father Ric Flair has been divorced four times, so marriage isn’t the best thing for that family. Charlotte said that she missed the fans. Charlotte said that it has been a year and two months. Charlotte said that she missed the guys booing her and the ones cheering her.

Charlotte said that she fought every single day to get back here because this is what she loves, this is her passion and this is what she wants to be the very best at.

Ripley said that when you go to war with someone, you earn their respect and Ripley said she respected her. Ripley reminded Flair that she beat her at WrestleMania the last time they faced eachother. Flair said that the first time they fought at WrestleMania, Flair beat Ripley and the fans booed. Ripley said that back then she was just a kid (five years ago).

Flair said she’s going to go to NXT tomorrow to see if Giulia inspires her and then go to Smackdown on Friday and see if Tiffany inspires her. Flair said she wants to feel inspired. Flair said that Rhea is impatient, so she is still just a kid. Flair told Ripley she’ll see her next week and she was about to leave, but Ripley got in Flair’s face.

Seth “Freakin” Rollins congratulated Jey Uso on winning the Royal Rumble saying he was happy and proud for Jey. Rollins mentioned how CM Punk lost the Royal Rumble and his future for WrestleMania is still up in the air. Rollins said he loved to see that for a scumbag piece of trash get eliminated by that idiot Logan Paul. Rollins said “Roman Reigns” so the fans chanted “OTC” for the Tribal Chief. Rollins said that OTC lost the Royal Rumble and may not make it to WrestleMania at all. Rollins said that there were vague updates all night long. Rollins said that Reigns is hurt while saying that Reigns and Heyman don’t want to tell the truth and WWE wasn’t going to say the truth. Rollins said he hurt him. Rollins said for the past four years, Reigns has done nothing but hurt his friends and family and he’d do it to Rollins if he had a chance. Rollins said that Reigns loves his limited schedule, so Rollins did them a favor.

Rollins admitted that he lost the Royal Rumble and that hurts. Rollins said that is in the past and there is a future that lies ahead because there are many paths to WrestleMania and his path goes through the Elimination Chamber.

Rollins said that Punk told Zayn that Zayn wasn’t on his level. Rollins told Zayn that he is Sami Zayn, a WrestleMania main eventer and a good person, which CM Punk will never be. Rollins told Zayn he needs the best out of Zayn because people like Zayn deserve to be in that Chamber. Rollins said that people like Zayn don’t deserve to be in the Chamber because he doesn’t care about this place. Rollins told Zayn to put Punk’s dream in the dirt for good. Rollins shouted “let’s go” to end it and Rollins left while Zayn was fired up.

Match #4: Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match – CM Punk defeated Sami Zayn by pinfall. They had a great match that had each guy get multiple nearfalls. Punk wanted a GTS, Zayn got out of that and Zayn hit an Exploder Suplex into the turnbuckle. Zayn charged, but Punk got out of the corner and Punk hit the GTS (Go To Sleep) knee to the face for the pinfall win.

That win means that CM Punk is in the Elimination Chamber match along with John Cena and four other men.

After the match, CM Punk celebrated the win while pointing at the WrestleMania sign. There was a skipping problem with the feed for some reason, so it was tough to see this final part. Punk extended his hand and Zayn shook his hand. Punk turned his back and Kevin Owens showed up to attack Zayn from behind, so Zayn knocked Punk out of the ring. Owens kicked Zayn in the back of the head. Owens picked up Zayn and Owens hit a Package Piledriver on Zayn. Owens had his hands on his ribs to sell the injuries from the Royal Rumble.
