Here is your post-Monday Night Raw fight size update for February 13, 2023:

– Backstage, Baron Corbin was asked about the end of his relationship with JBL, and he was cut off before he could say anything, as Sami Zayn hopped the barricade. He called out Cody Rhodes, who came to the ring. Zayn addressed Rhodes’ comment that he could see Sami beating Roman Reigns at WWE Elimination Chamber. Cody said that he wasn’t lying, as he meant it. He made it clear that believes he could face Zayn at WrestleMania, but what truly mattered was what Sami believed. Rhodes asked Sami if he believed he could beat Reigns, and Zayn admitted that he didn’t know. He said he worked with The Bloodline up close, they always find a way, and Reigns is on another level. Zayn said he believes he’s capable of beating Reigns, but he didn’t know if he’d be the one walking out of WWE Elimination Chamber with the title. Rhodes said the fans know, and Zayn is the reason why there is dissension in The Bloodline. He then said he didn’t want to see Zayn next Monday, as he would rather see him at WrestleMania.

– Otis ate a hot dog backstage, and Chad Gable scolded him before he threw it away. The Maximum Male Models (ma.çé, mån.sôör & Maxxine Dupri) approached, and Maxxine Dupri recruited Otis by asking him if he’d ever thought about modeling. She gave him her card, making it clear that she was interested in having him join the group.

– Becky Lynch opened the show, and she brought Adam Pearce with her. She admitted that her path to WrestleMania wasn’t clear, as her feud with Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai & IYO SKY), and she lost sight of her mission to win the Raw Women’s Championship. Bayley interrupted and demanded Pearce to scrap her loss from the record books. She stated that she deserved to be in the Elimination Chamber match. Bayley and Lynch kept arguing until Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair interrupted. She noted that nobody came to talk to her about the situation, and she made it clear that she was ready to fight. Pearce booked a three-way match for the main event; Belair would face Lynch and Bayley, and if she won, neither Lynch or Bayley would qualify for the Elimination Chamber. But if Lynch or Bayley scored the fall, they would clinch a spot in the match.

– In the main event, Bianca Belair battled Bayley and Becky Lynch. Despite the interference of Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Dakota Kai), Belair emerged victorious and blocked Lynch and Bayley from qualifying for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. 

– Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley were set to come to the ring to sign the contract for their match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Lashley stopped at the stage, with a number of security guards standing in front of him. He also brought his own table for the contract signing. Lashley claimed that he was in the driver’s seat, and he didn’t know if he was going to sign the contract. Lashley said he didn’t think Lesnar had the balls to beat him up. Lesnar charged and attacked some security guards. Lashley dropped him with a Spear and signed the contract.

– The MIz hosted Miz TV with Seth Rollins. The Miz was upset that he wasn’t in the Elimination Chamber match. He wondered if Rollins’ head was in the Elimination Chamber match, or if he was focused on his feud with Logan Paul. Rollins noted that nobody wanted to talk about Paul and called him a human dumpster fire. The Miz bragged about getting Taylor Swift tickets and asked Rollins why he wouldn’t talk about Paul in the ring.  Rollins responded by emphasizing that Paul doesn’t give a damn about wrestling. He said Paul only cares about lining his pockets and getting famous. Rollins then said Paul needs to get his teeth kicked in. Tensions rose, and Rollins attacked Miz. Austin Theory tried to attack Rollins, but Rollins initially fought him off. Rollins then stomped The Miz, and Rollins left him lying with the A-Town down.

– Elias approached Rick Boogs backstage and noted that people often compared the two of them. He wished Boogs luck in his match against The Miz and noted that they could potentially collaborate together. Boogs came to the ring, but Miz said the match wasn’t happening. The bell rang anyway, and Boogs slammed him. Boogs curled Miz and went on to defeat him in a short match. 

– The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) battled the Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Balor). Some interference from Dominik Mysterio helped Balor take control, and he pinned Dawkins for the win. The Judgment Day attacked their opponents after the match, but Edge and Beth Phoenix made the save. Rhea Ripley snuck into the ring and attacked Phoenix from behind.

– Baron Corbin got a do-over with his interview, and he said he’s better off without JBL. Corbin stated that Reigns will destroy Sami Zayn. He also pointed out that he was the last person to pin Reigns. Corbin insulted Cody Rhodes and said he didn’t get what people saw in Rhodes. Rhodes attacked Corbin, and they brawled to the ring. The bell rang, so the two stars faced off in a match, though Rhodes was still in his suit. “The American Nightmare” picked up the win in the impromptu bout.

– Ahead of the Elimination Chamber match, Liv Morgan, Natalya, and Raquel Rodriguez faced Nikki Cross, Carmella and Asuka. In the end, Asuka made Morgan tap out, so she gained more momentum ahead of WWE Elimination Chamber.

– Piper Niven scored a dominant win when she faced Michin.

– Mustafa Ali faced Bronson Reed. The former NXT North American Champion overpowered Reed and picked up a dominant win.

– Chelsea Green confronted Adam Pearce and stated that she sent some strongly worded to Adam Pearce’s manager. She remanded a redo and asked to be put in the Triple Threat match. Pearce made it clear that wouldn’t be happening.

– In an interview backstage, Edge and Beth Phoenix discussed their feud with The Judgment Day. Edge said their match at WWE Elimination Chamber won’t be pretty. Phoenix vowed to remind The Judgment Day why they are called The Grit Couple.

– Nikki Cross said she was playing hide and seek with her new friend. Candice LeRae asked her why she was following her, and Nikki laughed in her face.

– In an interview, The Judgment Day stated that they proved again that they’re at the top of the game. Rhea Ripley vowed to take the SmackDown Women’s Championship from Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39.

– In a WWE Digital Exclusive, Baron Corbin expressed his frustration after his recent setbacks, and he called Cody Rhodes a coward. He stated that he doesn’t know where he’s going, but he’s going to figure it out.

– Mustafa Ali challenged Dolph Ziggler to a match next week on WWE Raw in a Digital Exclusive.

– On Raw Talk, Bobby Lashley discussed the contract signing and stated that he wanted to make Brock Lesnar angry so he would get Brock at his best at WWE Elimination Chamber. He stated that they will have a straightforward fight on Saturday.

– Johnny Gargano vowed to make the most of his opportunity at WWE Elimination Chamber.

– Rhea Ripley wished Dominik Mysterio a happy pre Valentine’s Day.
