WWE RAW REPORT: THE CHAMBERS ARE SET, BIANCA AND NAOMI WANT THEM TO BRING IT ON, WAS IT A GOOD NIGHT FOR THE JUDGMENT DAY?, THE NEW DAY SPEAK, GUNTHER ROASTS THE CROWD, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2025-02-17 22:30:00

Your announcers are Pat McAfee and Michael Cole.

People are walking and driving into the building for tonight's show.

We take a look back at the latest between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Sami Zayn makes his way to the ring.

Sami says it has been a rough couple of weeks but it feels good to hear that.  Sami says he had a lot of time these last few weeks rehabbing and thinking about his history with Kevin Owens.  It is crazy that there have probably not been two people tied together like theirs.  From all different levels of wrestling to the main event of Wrestlemania.  They did it together.  He says in a story that long, there are going to be a lot of betrayals and a lot of forgiving and forgetting.  He tells Kevin there is no forgiving or forgetting this time.  This time was different.  It wasn't about sending a message or getting ahead in your career.  You tried to end his career.  Kevin didn't get the job done.

Sami says he is still standing here.  He says his neck isn't 100 percent, but he has enough in the tank for a fight.  Sami tells Kevin that he said he will be in Toronto for Elimination Chamber.  He says he will be in Toronto too.  Sami says he wants that fight and everyone else wants this fight.

Adam Pearce comes out and he tells Sami they have talked about this more than once.  He says he knows that you want this match and the fans want this match.  There is a big part of him that wants this match to happen.  He says Sami has been told no by everyone, including medical.  Adam says Sami is not medically cleared and he would love to make it official, but he has to say no.

Adam heads to the back and Sami asks Adam how long has he known them.  He says they have been together since before they signed a WWE contract.  Sami says he isn't taking no for an answer.  He says he is not leaving this ring until he gets this match.

Adam says he has seen it from the beginning until now.  Sami knows he cannot sanction this match.  That means if Kevin wants to wrap a chair around your face, he can't stop him.  If Kevin wants to drag you into the concourse and beat you senseless, he can't stop him.  If Kevin wants to hoist you up and pile drive you again and again and again and again.  He can't stop it.  There are no rules for referees to enforce.  You have to accept the risk.  You will lose regardless of the result.

That means at Elimination Chamber, it could be the very last match in the career of Sami Zayn.  He asks Sami if he understands.

Sami walks up to Adam and he tells Adam he knows what it means.  If he wants to wrap a steel chair around Kevin's face, you can't stop him.  If I beat him senseless in the middle of the concourse, you can't stop him.  If he drops Kevin on his head, he can't stop him.  Sami says he wants this damn match.

Adam tells Sami, at Elimination Chamber, it will be Kevin Owens versus Sami Zayn.  It is not official, it is unsanctioned.

We take a look at the video of the Jade Cargill situation that we saw on Friday.

We go to the room of Judgment and Dom tells Liv about Jade and Bianca.  

Liv tells Dom that she is impressed with what Dom has done and she knows he will win.

Dom wants Finn to appreciate him and they want to add a new member.

Finn shows up and he says he heard his name.    Liv says they were talking about her winning.

Finn says there are going to be three people in the Elimination Chamber.  He is going to beat Seth, Liv is in, and Raquel has to beat Roxanne or it will be embarrassing.

Raquel tells Finn to do his job.

Finn tells Liv and Dom, no new members.

We go to comments from the guy who was speared by Bron Breakker at the Royal Rumble.

Vic Joseph is filling in for Jackie Redmond and he talks about Bayley.

Bayley joins Vic.

She is asked about Elimination Chamber.  She says nothing is as big as Elimination Chamber, going into Wrestlemania.  She has won before.  She says she can face Rhea Ripley or Iyo Sky at Wrestlemania.  Bayley says she still has a whole lot to prove.
