Shout out to the newest RAW commentator, Jonathan Coachman. He did awesome and had great chemistry with the others.

Cena is going for the super AA and he lands it. Cena wins. That was...odd. Probably because it seemed like Balor was going to win.

John Cena defeated Finn Balor to qualify for the Elimination Chamber

John Cena seems frustrated. He stands on the apron and tells the crowd "I just want to go to WrestleMania" in a sad tone. He goes for a drop kick but Balor gets him down and hits the running drop kick onto the corner. A coupe-de-grace attempt misses and Cena goes for the STF. Balor gets the ropes but Cena holds on for a couple of seconds longer. What?

John Cena isn't himself. He lands the AA on Balor, clean and hard. BALOR KICKS OUT!!

Balor's exchanging blows with Cena, with the crowd doing the "Boo-YEAH!". Cena goes onto land the 5-knuckle shuffle and goes for the AA but Balor escapes and hits an overhead kick.

John Cena seems to be letting the crowd get to him. His attempt at the five-knuckle shuffle misses and Balor elbows him down

John Cena, still seemingly a little frustrated sends Finn Balor running into the corner. Cena has Finn where he wants them

The crowd seems to be completely distracted by something. Wonder what could distract fans from a dream match of this calibre!

John Cena seems to be a little frustrated with Balor getting the better of him. He takes his own time to get in the ring.

He was an #Ironman in last night's #RoyalRumble match, but will @FinnBalor be able to SURVIVE @JohnCena TONIGHT? #RAW #WWEChamber @KarlAndersonWWE @LukeGallowsWWE pic.twitter.com/1boqsxPldI

Finn Balor vs John Cena - Elimination Chamber qualifier

The crowd is obviously behind Finn Balor. They start off slow

Doesn't it feel like ages since John Cena has main evented an episode of RAW?

Unfortunately for Titus Worldwide, it still wasn't their night. The Bar used their big match experience to isolate Crews and finish him, retaining their titles.

The Bar defeated Titus Worldwide to retain the RAW Tag Team championship

Apollo has momentum on his side, but despite being power bombed by the champions, he popped right back up and also hit a moonsault onto Sheamus.

Inside the ring, Titus clotheslines Sheamus and finally tags Crews in.

Titus is tangoing with Cesaro, who tags in Sheamus. Titus tries to go for a tag to Apollo, but he gets knocked down. Titus steps out to take a breather and while Sheamus interacts with the referee, Cesaro tries to get in a sneak attack, only to eat a big boot.
Sheamus tries dragging Titus in but he slaps and prevents all his attempts!

Titus O' Neil began to manhandle Sheamus, be he eventually takes control.

Apollo Crews went for the quick-roll-up victory right away. Sheamus escaped and took a breather outside the ring. Apollo once again tried rolling him up and it seemed like Apollo has his number.

Is @JohnCena "almost done?" NOPE, he's JUST GETTING STARTED!

Be prepared, @FinnBalor... #RAW #WWEChamber pic.twitter.com/G4cfbcUWEm

Asuka tries to hit a running hip attack, but Sasha moved out and Asuka fell down. Sasha hit a flying knee to the face but it wasn't enough. Sasha had Asuka locked in the Bank Statement and looked to be winning, but Asuka slickly moved and countered into an Asuka lock. Sasha had no answer.

Asuka defeated Sasha Banks by submission

Asuka hits backfists and a missile dropkick before nearly submitting Asuka with an armbar! The 4-time champ escapes!

Sasha counters Asuka's strikes into a bank statement. Asuka counters that into a pin but Sasha kicks out. Sasha Banks tries to hit the suicide dive but Asuka kicks her and Sasha NEARLY lands neck first. That was scary. Back in the ring, Asuka pops her up and hits a knee RIGHT to the face. That looked brutal!

Sasha is in complete control. She dominates, acts too cocky and then does the dumbest thing by slapping her and shoving her face.

Asuka starts with some joint manipulation onto Sasha, slowing things down. Sasha kicked Asuka's head and then hit the double knees. She continues to act more and more heel-ish by the minute.

Asuka arm drags Sasha down and Sasha counters it into her own. Asuka let her presence known with her kicks to Sasha, knocking her off the apron.
