John Cena, Elias And Braun Strowman Qualify For The Elimination Chamber

After tonight, we already have three men ready to face off inside the Elimination Chamber next month.

Elias, Braun Strowman and John Cena all qualified tonight on Raw in matches that ended in very different ways.

Strowman was the first to win his match. He and Kane had a short brawl that ended then Braun Strowman somehow managed to flip the platform where the announcer's table sits near the entrance stage and threw it on top of Kane. The referee ended the match immediately as Kane was shown to be injured.

Elias defeated Matt Hardy to advance after Bray Wyatt interfered with his jump cut. A distracted Matt Hardy got caught in a neckbreaker and was pinned. After the match, Bray Wyatt appeared on the screen and laughed at Hardy's folly.

John Cena and Finn Balor battled in the main event. It was a back and forth match, but Cena managed to level Balor with an AA off the top rope and pinned him to advance.

With three men already qualifying, that'll leave three more men to qualify before making the Chamber complete. The winner of the match, which wil take place on February 25, will face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34. The show will also have a second Elimination Chamber match featuring women, with Alexa Bliss defending her Raw women's championship inside the structure.
