Within a gap of just merely ten days, WWE is hosting two pay-per-view events. This makes next week’s WWE Raw another go-home edition for the final PPV listed before this year’s Wrestlemania. We will see the final hypes before WWE Elimination Chamber 2020 on the very next episode of WWE’s flagship show. So massive announcements have already been made around it.
Spoiler: WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus Appearing On WWE TV
As confirmed on this week’s WWE Raw, two big matches and a special appearance for the Elimination Chamber go-home show is now official. Aleister Black vs. AJ Styles was confirmed for the first time in a WWE show making the IWC drooling over it. It happened after what transpired between these two on last night’s WWE Raw.

Another big match set for next WWE Raw would see a tag team action where Rey Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo team up with Angel Garza and WWE United States Champion Andrade. The below confirmations from WWE.com marks the return of both Mysterio and Andrade on the show,

The bout will be Mysterio and Andrade’s first on Raw in close to a month and their first action since competing in the Tuwaiq Trophy Gauntlet Match at WWE Super ShowDown. Garza and Carrillo, however, have been more than holding down the fort, with the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion (and current client of Zelina Vega) getting the better of his cousin on multiple occasions. The return of Mysterio and Andrade adds an interesting wrinkle, however; the pair may well achieve together what neither could alone.”
Apart from these matches, Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix will also make a rare appearance on WWE Raw. She will be there to give a medical update on her husband, WWE Hall of Famer Edge. The Rated R Superstar won’t be there but he is being advertised to return on the post-Elimination Chamber RAW on March 9 in Washington, DC. The Capital One Arena in DC is promoting his name to sell out more tickets.
Next week’s WWE Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York is also advertising WWE Champion Brock Lesnar but it’s yet to be confirmed by the WWE.
