WWE will pay tribute to the career of AJ Styles when Monday Night Raw heads to the future Hall of Famer’s home state of Georgia next week.

A tribute to Styles, who announced his retirement at the Royal Rumble following a loss to Gunther last month, will take place as part of the February 23 episode of Raw from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

Styles has been off TV since his loss to Gunther at the Rumble, but is likely to appear as part of the segment.

Along with the tribute, the final spots in this year’s Elimination Chamber matchups will be confirmed with a pair of triple threat matchups.

On the men’s side of the event, it’ll be The Vision’s Bronson Reed, tag champ Jey Uso and the recently-returned Original El Grande Americano fighting in the qualifying match.

The women’s bout will include The Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez, women’s tag titleholder IYO SKY and The Kabuki Warriors’ Kairi Sane in battle. SKY tag partner Rhea Ripley is in the Chamber match, and Sane also has an ally qualified for the bout in Asuka. A win for either would give their duo a significant advantage in the cage match.

Here’s a rundown of everything that has been announced for next week’s Raw thus far:

  • Raquel Rodriguez vs. IYO SKY vs. Kairi Sane
  • Bronson Reed vs. Jey Uso vs. Original El Grande Americano
  • WWE pays tribute to AJ Styles
