Finn Balor and Seth Rollins pin Bray Wyatt at the same time; match ends in a no contest

Crews and Rollins go head-to-head with the former Dragon Gate star getting near falls with a standing moonsault and shooting star press.

In a chaotic sequence, Hardy hits Wyatt with a Twist of Fate before eating a Coup De Grace from Finn Balor, who eats a Blackout himself. Just as Rollins looks to have the match won, Crews breaks up the pin.

Rollins then hits a couple of suicide dives before hitting Crews with a falcon arrow for 2. However, his momentum doesn't last long as Wyatt nearly decapitates him with a lariat. Balor joins the chaos and hits a sling blade before climbing to the top rope for a Coup de Grace. However, Rollins cuts him off and looks for a splash which misses.

Hardy stops Wyatt from setting up for Sister Abigail and goes after him with a flurry of blows. He then hands out a couple of side effects to Balor and Wyatt. He looks for the Twist of Fate on his rival, but Seth Rollins cuts him off. The Architect follows up with a blockbuster to Crews and Wyatt.

The match is already underway as we return from commercial with Hardy breaking up an attempted pinfall. There is a mad scramble with various Superstars looking to hit their high spots, but we go to another break after Bray Wyatt hits a senton on Crews.

It's time for the main event or, as I like to call it, the who's going to job to Roman Reigns match.

We then get a video package promoting Ivory's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

After nailing a powerbomb, Reigns sets up a spear, but he's nearly rolled up after a distraction from Cesaro. Knee to the head, but it's only good for 2. Reigns slips outside and nails Cesaro with a Superman Punch. Sheamus rolls the Big Dog inside the ring and looks for a flying axehandle, but Reigns connects with a Spear! And that's all she wrote!

Roman Reigns def. Sheamus

Sheamus locks in the Texas Cloverleaf, but Reigns fights out of it and hits a Samoa Drop for 2. The Big Dog goes for the Superman Punch, but it's reversed into White Noise. Sheamus calls for a Brogue Kick, allowing Reigns to hit a Superman Punch for 2.

When we return from commercial, Sheamus has Roman Reigns in a shoulder lock. He throws the Big Dog into the post and hits an Irish Curse Backbreaker.

Thanks to a distraction from Cesaro, Sheamus hits a rolling senton outside the ring before we cut to commercial.

Sheamus vs. Roman Reigns
Sheamus comes out of the gates with a flurry of offence but Reigns counters with a clothesline, forcing the Irishman outside the ring. He then hits a huge uppercut on Sheamus before throwing the Irishman into the barricade.

Elias looks to crawl away from the ring, but Strowman tracks him down, smashing the massive cello-like instrument on the Drifter's back.

Both men leave their weapons outside the ring and have a confrontation. Elias looks to use his guitar but the Monster Among Men flattens him like a bug on his windshield.

Just as Elias hits his stride, Jojo announces the arrival of Braun Strowman, who's sitting on a stool with a massive cello-like instrument. After mocking Elias, he strides down to the ring with the instrument in hand. This may be the first time Strowman's had a comedy segment.

Elias is in the ring, and he's gloating about defeating John Cena and Braun Strowman on the same night. Oh, and in case you've forgotten, WWE stands for Walk With Elias.

After the match, Absolution look to attack Mickie James, but Alexa Bliss makes the save.

Rose is working on James, but the former Divas Champion counters with a neckbreaker and looks to make a tag. However, Deville throws Bliss off the rope, allowing Rose to hit James with the Bed of Roses for the win.

Absolution def. Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs. Absolution
James immediately goes after Mandy Rose, forcing the former Tough Enough prospect to make a tag. Bliss and James then double team Deville until the former MMA fighter takes advantage of a distraction by Rose to deck James.

Alexa Bliss attempts to get on terms with Mickie James ahead of the Elimination Chamber. Even though they will work together tonight, it doesn't look like there will be an alliance inside the Chamber.

Love how they're putting Asuka in the same conversation as The Rock, Ric Flair and Roman Reigns (Context: One among 4 people to be sole survivor at Survivor Series and a Royal Rumble winner)

Asuka's streak is 860 days long, 240 wins, 0 losses. 34 women, 4 different continents

Backstage, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have a little fun banter between them, with Roman saying that he hoped Seth iss going to win the Fatal-5-Way.

They have a run-in with the tag team champions Cesaro & Sheamus.The champions provoke Rollins over what happened to Jordan and Roman hold Rollins back to prevent him from losing his cool. Roman then asks Cesaro what happened to his teeth, and told Sheamus he'd meet him later in the night.

After their match, Bayley and Sasha Banks have a staredown, but they're both flattened by Nia Jax. Another instance where Sasha's heel turn was teased, but didn't happen yet

Bayley kicks the Boss in the face and looks to follow up with a Macho Man Elbow. She misses and Banks immediately capitalises with a Banks Statement. Bayley makes it to the rope and forces a break. She teases a superplex, but Banks manages to fight her off. But her resistance fails as Bayley connects with Bayley-to-Belly from the top rope. It's all over!

Bayley def. Sasha Banks

When we return from commercial, Banks has Bayley in a chinlock. She connects with a knee strike in the corner, but Bayley catches Banks with a clothesline during a second attempt. The San Jose native goes to work in the corner and hits a huge German Suplex for 2.

Bayley vs. Sasha Banks
Bayley starts off with a roll-up and takes control, frustrating Sasha Banks. However, the Boss manages to find her footing and makes a comeback, throwing Bayley outside the ring. The former Raw Women's Champion invites Bayley back into the ring and dropkicks her unsuspecting foe, who takes the bait.

Bray Wyatt, one of the competitors in tonight's 5-way, promises to win and go to the Elimination Chamber!

Kurt Angle is reluctant at first, but he grants Rollins his wish after consulting with the audience. Surprise, surprise!

Seth Rollins comes out to interrupt and says that he regrets being harsh on Jordan last week. He laments the fact that he doesn't have a match at Elimination Chamber when Angle offers him an opportunity to do something special with a new tag team partner. However, Rollins turns him down and demands to be added to the second chance fatal four-way match tonight.

Kurt Angle then says that Jordan's injury is worse than the initial diagnosis, ruling the former amateur wrestler out of WrestleMania. Angle then chides the crowd for taking pleasure in Jordan's misery. Have you never experienced the joy of schadenfreude, Kurt?

Kurt Angle announces that Ronda Rousey will sign her Monday Night Raw contract at Elimination Chamber!

When we return from commercial, Wilder is working on the knee of Gallows. However, the former Straight Edge Society member tags Anderson who quickly gains momentum. After a few shenanigans involving the legal man, Anderson falls victim to the Shatter Machine. The Revival bounce back!

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows vs. The Revival
The Revival intercept The Club during their entrance, but the advantage doesn't last long as Gallows starts to handle Dawson with ease. However, Dawson capitalises on Wilder's distraction and chop blocks Gallows, regaining the advantage as we cut to commercial.

`Matt Hardy cuts a promo, promising to win the Elimination Chamber. Unfortunately, nobody in the audience gives a monkey's

The Miz positions Cena on the top rope and looks for a Skull Crushing Finale. Cena reverses and hits a Super AA for the win!

John Cena def. The Miz

Cena looks to take to the top rope, but The Miz thwarts him and places him in a Figure Four. Cena reverses into an STF, but The Miz forces a break. Cena's head bounces of the turnbuckle before a Skull Crushing Finale connects! It's only good for 2!

The Miz hits with a crossbody, but Cena rolls through for an AA. The A-Lister reverses and spikes Cena's skull on the canvas for 2. The Miz then hits a Shining Wizard and looks for a second. AA connects. The Miz kicks out!

What a Tornado DDT from @JohnCena #RAW pic.twitter.com/Rh1CNTamF1

Cena looks for another AA, but The Miz reverses into a Figure Four Leglock! It doesn't last long, however, as Cena overpowers his foe and locks in the STF! The Miz gets to the ropes!

Cena fights out and makes his comeback, hitting the Five-Knuckle Shuffle and teasing an AA. The Miz fights out and hits a backbreaker for a nearfall.

When we return from commercial, The Miz flings Cena off the apron and continues to grind on the 16-time World Champion. Cena responds to a flurry of offence with a tornado DDT for 2. He looks to be building up a head of steam when The Miz locks in a sleeper. This one hasn't reached its crescendo yet!
