The match on the Kick Off Show was Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows taking on Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Dallas dumps Anderson to the outside to get his team the advantage. Anderson hits a running kick on Axel, giving him the chance to tag in Gallows. In the end, Gallows and Anderson hit Axel with the Magic Killer to get the win.
Winners: Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows (1 for 1)
The first match of the show is Bayley, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Sasha Banks and Sonya Deville challenge Alexa Bliss in the first ever Women's Elimination Chamber Match for the RAW Women's Championship. Bayley and Sonya start in the ring and Rose is the next one to enter followed by Sasha Banks. Rose is the first to be eliminated when Banks gets her to submit to the Banks Statement. Mickie is the next one to enter and she does a senton splash from on top of a pod to eliminate Sonya. However, Mickie is eliminated when Bayley hits her with a Belly-to-Bayley. When Alexa enters, Sasha and Bayley team up before they turn on each other. Bayley hits Sasha with a Belly-to-Bayley but Alexa rolls up Bayley to eliminate her. Sasha comes close to winning with the Banks Statement. However, Alexa bangs Sasha's head off a pod and follows that up with a hangman's DDT to get the win.
I really enjoyed this match and all the competitors did well. Alexa winning was the obvious call and her promo afterwards was brilliant. As for Wrestlemania, it did look like Alexa was going to be destroyed by Asuka. However, Ronda Rousey arriving and events at Fastlane (spoiler alert) have changed that.
Winner: Alexa Bliss (2 for 2)
The next match is Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neill challenging Cesaro and Sheamus for the RAW Tag Team Championship. Cesaro and Sheamus take out Apollo to get the advantage. Sheamus misses a shoulder charge, going into the ring post. This gives Apollo the chance to tag in O'Neill. O'Neill hits the Clash of the Titus on Sheamus but Cesaro breaks up the pin. In the end, Cesaro and Sheamus pin Apollo to get the win.
This match was quite a fun match to watch.
Winners: Cesaro and Sheamus (3 for 3)
Next is Asuka taking on Nia Jax. If Nia wins, she will have a Championship match at Wrestlemania. Asuka takes the fight to Nia but it doesn't take long. Nia goes on to be completely dominant. Nia goes for a banzai drop but she misses. Nia gets out of an armbar and goes for a powerbomb. However, Asuka manages to get out if it and reverse it into a pin to get the win. Nia doesn't take the loss well and fucks up Asuka, sending her crashing into the timekeeper's area. This was quite a good match although I'm not sure if it was as good as their matches in NXT.
Winner: Asuka (4 for 4)
Our penultimate match is Bray Wyatt taking on
Winner: "Woken" Matt Hardy (4 for 5)
After we see the signing of Ronda Rousey, we get our main event to determine the number 1 contender for the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. It is an Elimination Chamber Match between Elias, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, John Cena, Hollywood Miz, Roman Reigns and Bruan Strowman. Balor, Miz and Rollins start in the ring and they are followed by Cena and then Strowman. Strowman goes on to eliminate Miz, Elias, Cena, Balor and Rollins with powerslams. During this time, all the wrestlers teamed up on Strowman; at one time hitting their finishing moves on him. However, Strowman manages to survive it all. In the end, Reigns hits multiple Superman punches and 2 Spears on Strowman to get the win. This match really bothered me. It was good but it annoyed me that Strowman eliminates 5 people yet Reigns goes on to win. It seems like a heel move to me.
Winner: Roman Reigns (5 for 6)
I thought that Elimination Chamber was a good event. This is the last RAW event before Wrestlemania and it looks good for them
