A WWE name has confirmed their absence from tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw, which is set to feature a tribute to Georgia’s own AJ Styles. Backstage interviewer Jackie Redmond took to social media to announce she will be missing the show at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. She cited logistical issues, explaining that she simply cannot make it to the arena in time. However, she reassured fans that she will be back on duty for the WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event this Saturday in Chicago.
“I won’t be on #WWERAW tonight, for those who have asked. Can’t get there in time,” Redmond tweeted. “But I WILL be in LA for Artemi Panarin’s debut with the LA Kings on @NHL_On_TNT Wednesday!”
Tonight’s episode of Raw is expected to be an emotional one as the company pays tribute to the career of AJ Styles. The “Phenomenal One,” who officially retired at the Royal Rumble in January following a “Career Killer” match against GUNTHER, is expected to address the WWE fans one final time in front of his home-state crowd.
In addition to the Styles tribute, the road to WrestleMania 42 continues with the final qualifying matches for Elimination Chamber. On the men’s side, Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and “The Original” El Grande Americano will battle for the final spot in the chamber. For the women, IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, and Raquel Rodriguez will compete to secure their place in the six-woman structure.
Tonight’s episode will also feature a decision from 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan, who is expected to finally choose between facing Jade Cargill or Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania.
I won’t be on #WWERAW tonight, for those who have asked. Can’t get there in time.
But I WILL be in LA for Artemi Panarin’s debut with the LA Kings on @NHL_On_TNT Wednesday!
