RAW's final PPV was the Elimination Chamber and it's all done now. Overall the show was good and It had its moments.
5 Matches took place at the event, but to be completely honest, the women won the night over with their performances. The best match the men had was the Chamber match despite Roman Reigns winning.
The mid-card continued to struggle in this PPV as the fans were not into those matches at all. Also, the Ronda Rousey promo was really that bad. Lastly, I would count the pre-show match in this, but who cares about what happens before the PPV. So, let's rank all of the matches from worst to best.
Worst: Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt
Matt Hardy won after hitting Bray Wyatt with a Twist of Fate (9:55)
The match itself was alright, but the main reason this match was rated so low was because of the crowd. The Vegas crowd ruined this match. The fans were tossing beach balls around, doing the wave and even cheering for Rusev despite the fact that he isn't even on RAW.
The match started with Hardy playing mind games with Wyatt. It was something different. This feud lost steam a long time ago and WWE continuing it is not helping anyone. The crowd doesn't care, Wyatt continues to booked bad and Hardy is just laughing every week. This PPV could've done without this match.
RAW Tag Team Titles: The Bar (C) vs Apollo & Titus O'Neal
Cesaro pins Apollo after hitting a Springboard White Noise to Retain the titles (10:05)
This was another match no one cared for. It's a shame because The Bar put on really decent matches with anyone they face. Much like the Hardy/Wyatt match, this PPV could've left this match off.
This PPV was pretty much a two match show and the crowd enthusiasm really showed that. Also, WWE made it obvious that The Bar are keeping the titles for a while. They retained the next night on RAW in a 2 out of 3 falls match. So, WWE has no plans on dropping the titles from them anytime soon.
Asuka vs Nia Jax
Asuka wins after a roll up on Nia (8:15)
No one actually believed Asuka was going to lose. Even though I'm not a fan of roll-up victory's because they happen so frequently, I'm glad it happened over a screwy finish.
WWE did make Nia look really strong, so hopefully, they do add her to the title match or let her be a good match for WrestleMania. The crowd made this match so much better than it was and i'm glad they were into it.
Men's Elimination Chamber
Roman hits two spears on Strowman to win (40:15)
If people actually thought Roman was going to lose, clearly they don't watch the product at all.
The match got off to a slow start. That was until Braun came in and destroyed everyone in his path. WWE made Braun look amazing as he eliminated everyone but Roman in this match.
Then, of course, Roman won. Strowman should've won especially how his performance in the match ended up.
Overall a good Chamber match despite who won it. It could've ended a few minutes earlier, but at least we did get to see Braun destroy Roman after the match and throw him through a chamber pod.
Best: Women's Elimination Chamber
Alexa hit a Hanging DDT on Sasha to retain her title (29:35)
The Women's chamber match was the best of the night. I wouldn't consider this the greatest of all time, but a great first showing for the ladies in the match. Alexa coming in was obvious as you knew she would somehow win.
One of the highlights of the match was the Twisted Bliss off the Chamber pod. But it was the spot of the night no doubt.
Bayley looked weak like she has for a while. Once again Sasha was close to winning, but not close enough.
Alexa's promo was probably one of her best, and it shows why she is one of the best talkers WWE has.
