The Miz and Shane McMahon (Champions) vs. The Usos
Before the match got started, Maryse walked out and announced that she and Miz are going to have another baby. McMahon did some crazy moves including a coast-to-coast dropkick and an elbow drop on Jey Usos through the announcers table. The finish was Miz about to get the win with the Skull Crushing Finale but Jimmy reversed the roll-up and he got the pin. New Champions.
Intercontinental Championship – Balor can win by pinning either man
Bobby Lashley (Champion) and Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor
Balor won the Intercontinental Championship by pinning Lio Rush. He had the odds stacked against him but he was able to knock Lashley out of the ring and then he took him out with a dive. Balor was able to get Rush alone to finish the match. Lashley was clearly not happy with the way things went down so he attacked Rush. Looks that duo is finished.
Raw Women’s Championship
Ronda Rousey (Champion) vs. Ruby Riott
Rousey quickly made Riott submit to the armbar. After the match, Rousey and Charlotte Flair stood face-to-face in the ring. Becky Lynch walked out and she attacked both women with crutches. Officials escorted her out through the crowd.
No Disqualification Match
Baron Corbin vs. Braun Strowman
Weapons were used. Strowman had the match in hand after he powerslammed Corbin through a table but Drew McIntyre walked out with a chair in hand to distract Strowman. Bobby Lashley sneaked up and joined McIntyre with their chair attack on Strowman. All three heels did a triple powerbomb on Strowman through two tables that were stacked. Corbin won the match thanks to help from his friends.
Backstage, Miz was upset at himself. Shane McMahon told him to calm down and he’ll see him on Tuesday night.
Lacey Evans walked down the aisle and then walked back up for no reason.
WWE Championship – Elimination Chamber Match
Daniel Bryan (Champion) vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe
Before the match got started, Bryan cut a promo and then was told that Erick Rowan must leave the ringside area.
Pretty good match and it got really good towards the end. Kingston and Bryan were the last two men in the match. Kingston dominated for several minutes until Bryan rammed him into one of the pods. Bryan hit the running knee and then went for the pin but Kingston kicked out.
Later in the match, they fought on top of one of the pods. Kingston attempted a splash off the top of the pod but Bryan moved and then he executed the running knee to the face. Bryan got the pin.
