Follow along with our live review of WWE Elimination Chamber 2018. It’s the final Raw-exclusive pay per view for the foreseeable future.

After what seems like a crazy long build, WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 is finally here. The top superstars of the Raw brand are gathered in Las Vegas for the big show. The card seems somewhat light on quantity, but the quality should be among the best WWE has to offer. And since it’s the last major show for the flagship show on the Road to WrestleMania, there will be major implications for the Mania card.

First and foremost, the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match will answer a major question: Who will face Brock Lesnar in New Orleans? Seven men are vying for the opportunity to challenge for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania, making this the biggest Chamber match to date in WWE. The Miz will enter the match first, along with (likely) two other superstars. Elias is set to be the last man in, and Seth Rollins, John Cena, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, and Roman Reigns will be somewhere in the middle.

For the first time ever, WWE is presenting a Women’s Elimination Chamber Match. This one is for the Raw Women’s Championship, meaning Alexa Bliss will finally defend the title. Her challengers are Bayley, Sasha Banks, Mickie James, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville. With another chance to make history – and the title on the line – things are bound to get intense.

Conspicuous by their absences from the Chamber, Nia Jax and Asuka will instead face each other. Asuka’s undefeated streak is well reported at this point, but the other focus of this matchup seems to be lost in the shuffle. If Jax is victorious and breaks the streak, she gets “added to” the Raw Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania.

Three other matches are on the card – another showdown between Bray Wyatt and “Woken” Matt Hardy, a Raw Tag Team Championship opportunity against The Bar for Titus Worldwide, and Gallows and Anderson facing Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel on the Kickoff Show. Plus, Ronda Rousey officially signs her Raw contract.
