#2 Braun Strowman proves his dominance
Although he was unsuccessful in actually winning the Elimination Chamber match, Braun Strowman was the absolute star of the bout by getting every single elimination save for one.
There's no doubt that he was one of the biggest and toughest on the roster, but this performance firmly established him as the absolute king of all monsters in WWE.

Taking out The Miz, Elias, John Cena, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins is a major plus for the mountain of a man, and it's just a shame he wasn't prioritized enough to take the lead in actually receiving that Universal Championship match at WrestleMania.
The way he was booked here proves that WWE knows he's popular and a major star for the future, but that they just can't get past their own preferences and did everything in their power to give Strowman the best case scenario while still keeping their plan of Roman Reigns coming out on top.
Had the creative committee been resourceful enough to change the original plan and go with the option that is clearly more favorable to a lot of fans, this discussion wouldn't end with pointing out that Strowman came up short, but that he solidified his main event spot for the biggest show of the year.
Now, it's unclear what he'll be doing, but the one thing that is definite is that it won't be good enough for someone who is the biggest threat on the roster, and this performance will make what he does at WrestleMania underwhelming in comparison.
