The fallout from Elimination Chamber was the main subject last night on Raw as The Road To WrestleMania continued to heat up with the introduction of Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Ricochet and Aleister Black all being added to Monday Night Raw and picking up confidence-boosting victories.

Last night wasn't a great night for every superstar involved in the show since Dean Ambrose was easily defeated by Drew McIntyre and Ronda Rousey was forced to defend her Raw Women's Championship for the second time in 24 hours against Ruby Riott, despite the fact that she was the victim of an impressive beatdown by Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber.

The pressure is on as WrestleMania season draws closer and it appears that some stars are feeling the pressure much more than others.


#2. It was a rough landing for Dash Wilder

The Revival welcomed Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa to Monday Night Raw the only way they knew how, by offering them a match, which many of the WWE Universe were already invested in after the two teams took part in the match of the year during their time in NXT, and the match once again didn't disappoint.

Once again it was Ciampa and Gargano who came out on top, as part of their match on Raw and Dash Wilder took quite the fall when he was thrown to the outside since he was hung up on the top rope and then had to flip himself to the outside.

The Revival are tag team specialists and rarely make any kind of mistakes in the ring, but this one was so blatantly obvious that it had to be included in this week's list.

#1. Ronda Rousey's main event

Ronda Rousey had quite the weekend after defending her Raw Women's Championship in a match against Ruby Riott, she was confronted by Charlotte Flair, attacked by Becky Lynch and then forced to defend her title merely hours later against Riott once again.

It could be argued that Rousey was less than 100% in this week's main event, but that doesn't mean that botches like Rousey's should be overlooked. Rousey made a number of mistakes as she looked to punch Riott at one point but missed by miles, before going for a crossbody on the outside that was absolutely horrific.

It's great that Rousey is looking to expand her arsenal, but she shouldn't be using moves in matches that she hasn't perfected because every time she's debuted a move on Raw in recent months, it's become another botch on this list.
