Becky Lynch(c) vs Alexa Bliss vs Liv Morgan vs Mickie James vs Natalya vs Ruby Riott- Elimination Chamber Match for the Raw Women's Championship
All six women would enter the match without any eliminations, and Alexa Bliss got the luck of the draw, entering last. Lynch and Riott immediately went after each other, though Mickie James would intervene, attempting to eliminate the champion. This was a big mistake, as Lynch would deliver a Bex-ploder on the outside of the Chamber to take out James. A miscommunication between Riott Squad members would lead to the next elimination, as Riott herself was eliminated by Natalya following a discus lariat. Morgan had been too eager to go after Lynch, and it cost her leader the match. Meanwhile, Natalya kept rolling, spearing Bliss through her own pod and pinning her for three. Not long after, Morgan paid for going after the champ, tapping out to the Dis-arm-her. That left Becky Lynch and Natalya in the final two, both having eliminated two competitors. After an intense back and forth, the champion was able to apply the Dis-arm-her again, and Natalya had to tap, as Becky stood tall in the Chamber for the second year in a row.
Winner and still Raw Women's Champion: Becky Lynch
Lucha House Party vs The Undisputed Era
Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik were flying early, but couldn't stand up to the tag team prowess of Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly. The two technicians took control of the match, allowing Adam Cole to get his revenge, pinning Dorado with the Last Shot.
Winners: The Undisputed Era
Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler
After losing to Baszler once before at Survivor Series, Ronda Rousey had done her homework. She had Baszler well scouted on this night, avoiding much of the offense of the Queen of Spades. The biggest moment came when Shayna had Ronda up top, looking to hit the gutwrench superplex that got her the win before. But Rousey countered, then hit a perfect dropkick and applied the armbar to tap out her former friend.
Winner: Ronda Rousey
The Authors of Pain(c) vs The New Day- Raw Tag Team Championship Match
Akam and Rezar were a walking demolition derby on this night, brawling with all three members of The New Day. Eventually, the challengers hopes would all come down to Kofi Kingston, who nearly stole the win several times. But he couldn't hold out forever, as the champions continued to keep Big E at bay, putting Kofi away with the Last Chapter.

Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins
Like at the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns was facing an incredibly resilient opponent. Seth Rollins kicked out of not one but two Spears, staying alive in spite of everything the Big Dog could throw at him. It was on Reigns to not lose his temper, but the match would take an interesting turn when Rollins was able to connect on a suicide dive. Seth followed it up with a top rope falcon arrow, and then the Curb Stomp, but now Roman managed to kick out. This time it was The Architect who confronted the official about the count, and Roman Reigns to capitalize. He delivered a Superman Punch, then another, and one final Spear to get the win and put himself back in title contention.
Winner: Roman Reigns
Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Cesaro vs Johnny Gargano vs The Miz vs Pete Dunne vs The Undertaker- Elimination Chamber Match for the Universal Championship
It would be Johnny Gargano and The Miz who started this match, and the A-Lister took quick control, playing to the crowd. But it would cost him, as Gargano countered the Skull Crushing Finale into the Gargano Escape, and Miz tapped! There would no more eliminations before the last entrant, The Undertaker. The Deadman made a quick impact, eliminating Cesaro with a Tombstone Piledriver and setting his sights on Pete Dunne. But the champions would team up, as UK Champion Dunne hit Taker with the Bitter End, and world champion Nakamura got the pinfall with the Kinshasa. That would leave Gargano, Dunne and Nakamura as the final three. Gargano and Dunne got into it, shades of their previous encounter at Unforgiven. But in a reverse of that match, Johnny Wrestling managed to counter the Bitter End into a small package for his second elimination! Somehow, Johnny Gargano was left standing to face Shinsuke Nakamura with the Universal Championship at stake. Gargano laid it all on the line, climbing to the top of a pod, looking to take an incredible risk. At the last second, Nakamura rolled out of the way, and Gargano crashed into the canvas. The champion measured, and nailed another Kinshasa to put the feisty challenger away and survive the Chamber.
Winner and still Universal Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura
