Will this get a place in the Elimination Chamber program?

WWE RAW delivered on every aspect this week, as it had the perfect bend of in-ring action, promos, and some great betrayals.

The show started on a high note when The Beast Incarnate and his humble advocate took a shot at the number one contender. Paul Heyman had some harsh words about The Scottish Pschyopath, and that didn't sit well with the Superstar who took out the WWE Champion with three Claymore Kicks.

While this was an indication that the show would take us on a journey during the three-hours, no one expected the next turn of events as The Street Profits' became the new RAW Tag Team Champions.

The WWE Universe lauded their win, and Sportskeeda's own Riju Dasgupta did an article on the possible reasons why they became the new champions on the go-home episode of Elimination Chamber. It's a great read.

In this article, I analyze how the company got fans excited for the upcoming Elimination Chamber event, and you can also listen to our experts Tom Colohue and Korey Gunz discuss the events that took place in professional wrestling this week by clicking the video below.

#5 Sarah Logan's attack On former Riott Squad members

Sarah Logan officiated the match between Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan, who happen to be her former stablemates. A confrontation between Sarah and Ruby helped Liv take advantage and get the three-count for the win.

The former Riott Squad member has not been active for some time, but it was nice to see her in zebra stripes this week. Her attack confirmed that it will be every woman for herself in the Elimination Chamber match.

A match between them will be a great one at The Grandest Stage of Them All, but we'll have to see if that comes to fruition.

#4 The match made for the US Title

Humberto Carrillo pinned the United States Champion on RAW during the tag team match, and this set the stage for a match between them at Elimination Chamber.

Humberto is a great Superstar who gave tough competition to the then Universal Champion Seth Rollins in his debut match on the main roster. The performer has grown leaps and bounds since his debut, and we'll have to observe his performance this Sunday against Andrade. The US Champion has recently returned from a 30-day suspension.

It is a given that they'll have the fans on the edge of their seats, as both performers are great between the ropes.

#3 A match between two great in-ring performers

Who will be 'The Phenomenal One' here?
Who will be 'The Phenomenal One' here?

The Undertaker took out AJ Styles during the Tuwaiq Trophy match in Saudi Arabia, and The Phenomenal One mocked the legend during his match with Aleister Black on RAW.

While it was a match where Black had to face one Superstar, he instead ended up facing The O.C. and then AJ Styles. The Harbinger of Fury was not in a position to fight, but despite the situation, he put on a great performance between the ropes.

A match between them this Sunday will be a great way for Black to pick the win because we may see The Undertaker make his presence felt in some form. With just a few weeks to go for WrestleMania, The Deadman could start his story and mind games with The Phenomenal One.

With this situation in place, one can expect great action between the ropes, and it would be a welcome thing because Aleister Black has all the qualities of being a top-notch performer in the company.

#2 Will we see new RAW Tag Team Champions again?

Who gets the smoke?

This week's episode of Monday Night RAW started on a high note as, during the first match of the night, we saw new RAW Tag Team Champions crowned in the form of The Street Profits.

The turn of events shocked the WWE Universe and provided something amazing to remember from the show, which had already witnessed a great segment involving the WWE Champion and his humble advocate.

The outcome resulted in the former champions invoking their rematch clause, and this has got the fans excited about what will happen during the match at Elimination Chamber.

While it seems inconceivable that the company would take the titles away from The Street Profits, stranger things have happened in the WWE, so we can't be sure about what will happen during the Elimination Chamber event.

The Street Profits have got their hands on RAW gold and were former NXT Tag Team Champions as well. No matter who wins the next match, the fans will be firmly invested in the storyline and in-ring action.

#1 Paul Heyman will try to talk about the events of RAW

Brock Lesnar is The Beast Incarnate, and he is called that for a reason. The WWE Champion was taken out by his opponent for WrestleMania 36 after the Superstar's humble advocate decided to take a jibe at the challenger. The attack went from between the ropes to the ramp, and Drew McIntyre hit the Champion with 3 Claymore Kicks in the process.

The WWE Universe is rooting for The Scottish Psychopath, and he is the favorite to win the title at WrestleMania. Paul Heyman is not only the humble advocate to Brock Lesnar but also the Executive Director of RAW, and this means that he would have something to say about the action that transpired.

His words would serve as the perfect way to stoke the flames for the RAW episode after Elimination Chamber, and we may see this feud go into the next level with WrestleMania drawing closer. The fans will anticipate Paul Heyman and Drew McIntyre's war of words this Sunday.
