Tonight’s episode of WWE RAW will indeed be an emotional one for fans, as the company has officially announced that there will be a tribute to AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One ended his in-ring career following his loss to Gunther at Royal Rumble 2026.

Ahead of the show, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce took to his official X (fka Twitter) account to post a video, revealing the lineup for the flagship show. In his video, Pearce even paid an emotional tribute to The Phenomenal One, calling him one of the best professional wrestlers of all time, and requested fans to tune in to show their gratitude and love for the legend who hung up his boots.

“Alright everybody, Monday Night RAW comes live tomorrow night from Atlanta Gorgia and proud to present a tribute to my friend The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles. It’s hard to believe that I have known the man for nearly 25 years. Tomorrow night, we all say thank you to one of the best of his generation, to one of the best of all time. In addition to saying thanks to AJ, Liv Morgan will be in the house in Atlanta, she will make her WrestleMania decision, Maxxine Dupri will go one-on-one with Nattie, there’s plenty of bad blood there and we will have Elimination Chamber qualifying matches, in addition to the return to WWE of the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar, what will Brock have in store for Atlanta and WWE Universe tune in to find out,” he said.

The 47-year-old General Manager further added:

“It’s Monday Night RAW live from Atlanta, eight eastern, 5 Pacific, live around the world on Netflix. I do hope you will tune in, gratitude and tribute to The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles, because I can tell you firsthand, all of our gratitude, all of our appreciation, all of our love is definitely official,” he said.

WWE legend Brock Lesnar to return on RAW

The upcoming episode of RAW will also feature the return of Brock Lesnar, who will be appearing on the Monday night show for the first time this year, following his Royal Rumble appearance, where he was eliminated early.

Lesnar could begin a feud on the road to WrestleMania. He could even shock everyone by announcing himself for the Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match on the red brand, making the Triple Threat bout between Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and Original El Grande Americano a Fatal Four-Way Match.

That said, it will be interesting to see what future implications tonight’s WWE RAW will bring and what impact it might have on the company’s build to Mania.
