11. Elimination Chamber

Elimination Chamber 2018

Raw's final PPV before Wrestlemania had a similar fate to Fastlane. We all knew the matches going into Wrestlemania and there was no way they would change. But there was still some hope that Braun Strowman would somehow get involved in the program between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. That, however, didn't happen.

The event also saw the first ever women's Elimination Chamber match and the first ever 7 Man Elimination Chamber match.

Alexa Bliss retained her title in the Women's Chamber match, which was nothing special. Roman won the men's match, winning the right to challenge Lesnar at Wrestlemania. However, Braun Strowman eliminated 5 men in the match setting a new record before falling to a Spear from Reigns. The match was enjoyable and helps this event rank higher than Fastlane.

The other matches on the card were Asuka vs Nia Jax, where Asuka continued her undefeated streak, Cesaro and Sheamus retained their Tag Team Championships in a throwaway match against Titus Worldwide, and finally Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy had a pretty uninteresting match.

Again, much like Fastlane, nothing in this event created a buzz. Only Braun's performance in the Chamber match was praised heavily. But the fact WWE just booked the exact same Wrestlemania main event from 3 years prior received criticism.
