• Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns did alternate video promos insisting they would defeat the other to get a spot in the Elimination Chamber. Bray claimed that when you hit rock bottom like Roman has, you'll find Bray Wyatt waiting down there for you. He perhaps didn't really think that one through.
  
  
• Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt (shocking, I know) to gain a spot in the Elimination Chamber. Woken Matt Hardy was shown during the match watching on television within a white void. After the match Matt appeared behind Bray and hit the Twist of Fate, then did the DELETE gesture along with the crowd, who were really into it.
  
  
• Seth Rollins met with Jason Jordan backstage to discuss their tag title match tonight. Jordan assured Seth he was medically cleared and at 100% and there wouldn't be a repeat of his tagging out unexpectedly last week. Seth just reminded him that they needed to work together if they were going to be a real team.
  
  
• Finn Balor and Karl Anderson defeated The Revival in a tag match.
  
  
• Sasha was watching her defeat by Asuka last week, and Bayley came by to ask for advice on how SHE could beat Asuka. Sasha wouldn't give her that advice, and Bayley understood it was because it needed to be every woman for themselves at the Elimination Chamber. But she pointed out that if Sasha was convinced she could beat Asuka, Bayley must be able to as well because she knew she could beat Sasha.
  
  
• Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak and Tony Neese. 205 Live GM Drake "Rockstar Spud" Maverick was on commentary doing everything he could to push the Cruiserweights, the ongoing tournament for a new Champion, and getting people to watch 205 Live.
  
  
• Kurt Angle came to the ring to announce the participants in the Women's Elimination Chamber match (it seemed like he almost forgot the name of the PPV): Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Sonya Deville and Sasha Banks. He noted that Nia Jax was not present, because he had made a match between Nia and Asuka and if Nia won, she would be added to the Women's Title match at Wrestlemania (whether Asuka chose the Raw or Smackdown Women's Title?).
  
  
• Alexa Bliss came out and demanded to know why her title was on the line at Elimination Chamber, but Brock wouldn't have to defend his belt at the Elimination Chamber and that wasn't fair. Kurt pointed out that Brock defended his title at the Rumble but Alexa hadn't defended hers in 3 months, but she pointed out that SHE wasn't the matchmaker and accused him again of being sexist. Kurt turned it over to the crowd, asking if they wanted her to defend her title at the Elimination Chamber, and they chanted yes.
  
  
• Cena did a backstage cameraphone promo about winning the match tonight to increase his chances of winning the Elimination Chamber.
  
  
• As part of Black History month, they showed a video package of Roman Reigns and Mark Henry visiting the Civil Rights museum and discussing the Lunch Counter sit-in protests.
  
  
• Asuka submitted Bayley with her armbar. The match was solid but not up to last week's Sasha/Asuka match, and the crowd was mostly dead the whole way through. Bayley eventually agreed to shake Asuka's hand after the match, but looked conflicted about her loss.
  
  
• A taped promo from earlier in the day had The Bar taking great delight in talking poo poo about Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan.
  
  
• Miz came out with Bo Dallas (but no Curtis Axel) and did a promo about how great he is, how even a top star like Roman Reigns couldn't beat him, and that even the Eagles' coach showed his most recent match to the team to inspire them to win the Superbowl. He said he would quality for the Elimination Chamber and face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania, and his daughter would be born in time to see him become the new Universal Champion.
  
  
• Miz defeated Apollo Crews to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. Apollo looked good but Miz ended up crotching him on the ropes and hitting the Skull Crushing Finale.
  
  
• Jordan was backstage with Kurt and medical officials, and explained to Seth that he had hurt himself doing neck bridges and couldn't compete tonight. Kurt told Seth he had no choice but to make them forfeit the match, but then Roman Reigns showed up, Seth gave Kurt a meaningful look and he agreed to let Roman replace Jordan.
  
  
• The Bar retained their tag team titles at the end of a messy but fun match. Jason Jordan had come down to offer moral support and was told to gently caress off by Roman Reigns. When The Bar attempted to escape with the belts, Jordan prevented them from going, but when they threw a punch he instinctively blocked it and threw one back, causing Seth and Roman to be DQed.
  
  
• Braun did a cameraphone promo insisting he is and always will be the last man standing.
  
  
• Seth was screaming at Jordan backstage and called him a Son of a Bitch. Kurt was furious (his college lay wasn't a bitch!) and broke them up, then insisted that Jordan go home.
  
  
• Nia Jax obliterated a local jobber. She did an in-ring promo afterwards saying she wasn't scared of Asuka, she would smash up her face so she had to wear the mask permanently, and make her into the Empress of Yesterday.
  
  
• Mickie James defeated Sonya Deville, and instantly got jumped by Mandy Rose while Paige shouted encouragement. Alexa Bliss rushed down and helped Mickie escape, much to everybody (including Mickie's) confusion. Sonya may have gotten a broken nose in the match.
  
  
• Finn Balor, Bray Wyatt, Matt Hardy and Apollo Crews will have a Fatal Fourway next week to decide the final qualifying spot in the Elimination Chamber.
  
  
• Elias did a concert, getting the crowd good and riled up
  
  
• Elias pinned John Cena in the Triple Threat Main Event with John Cena and Braun Strowman, to give him the last entry point in the Elimination Chamber (so... he comes out of the pod last? Or he starts the match?). He'd tossed Braun out of the ring in order to steal the pin, so Braun attacked Elias afterwards and hit him with Powerslams to the crowd's roars of approval.
  
  
• It looked like the show was over, but Braun stuck around in the ring for a bit, motioned to the crowd if they wanted more, and when they cheered he continued to hit Powerslams on Cena and Elias.
  

• Shane McMahon opened the show and called out Daniel Bryan, where he insisted the crowd didn't want to see Sami or Kevin get another title shot and that Bryan was playing favorites with them. Bryan retorted that he should ge a well-deserved payrise for giving Shane a match where his two least favorite wrestlers tore each other apart. Shane insisted that Bryan was being manipulated, that Kevin and Sami weren't like Bryan and he couldn't live vicariously through them now that he was unable to wrestle.
  
  
• AJ Styles came out, said both Bryan and Shane were obsessed with Kevin and Sami and he didn't give a poo poo about that, all he cared about was retaining his title.
  
  
• The New Day sat backstage reading tweets, part of an all-episode thing where people could live-tweet them questions.
  
  
• AJ passed Shinsuke Nakamura backstage. Shinsuke took great delight in leaning forward and mentioning once again,"I'm gonna beat you at Wrestlemania" and leaving.
  
  
• Charlotte Flair defeated Liv Morgan, with Riott Squad at ringside. After the match she noted to the commentary team that now she'd beaten two members of the Riott Squad, and that left one to go.
  
  
• Another Black Histoy month video showed Roman Reigns and Titus O'Neil attending the Civil Rights Museum and learning about the (lack of) rights of black sewerage workers and the Memphis Sanitation Strike.
  
  
• Renee interviewed Kevin Owens backstage, asking if their friendship would remain the same after their match tonight. Owens told her it was a good question for a change but better suited to Sami, because Sami was going to lose tonight.
  
  
• The Bludgeon Brothers murdered a couple of jobbers, with one trying to just walk out on the match he was so scared, only to be jumped by Rowan and thrown into the ring. Afterwards the Usos came out and eyeballed the Bludgeon Brothers.
  
  
• The Usos did a great promo about how they've changed and developed from also-rans to the Tag Team Champs. It was real good.
  
  
• Daniel Bryan revealed the Smackdown Roster Top 10 List, as supposedly voted on by the Smackdown Roster. The crowd didn't seem to particular care about this and it's unclear exactly what will come of it, as the "top people on the list were the current male and female champions so it's not like they can get MORE title opportunities.

• The New Day freaked out about coming in at #6 and make some cracks about beating up Corey Graves.

• Bobby Roode retained his US Title in a lengthy match against Rusev. Post-match, as he was celebrating he was hit by an RKO-OUTTA-NOWHERE from Randy Orton, who then hit one on English and then Rusev.
  
  
• Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin did a send-up of The Fashion Files, mocking Breezango and The Ascension. This was accompanied by the same stupid text graphics that were all over the show last week.
  
  
• Gable and Benjamin defeated The Ascension in a tag match.
  
  
• The New Day answered a question about which of them would rank higher in an INDIVIDUAL Top Ten, and both BIG E and Xavier were quick to give Kofi the top spot. Kofi for his part told them that should be win the WWE Championship, he would break it up to share it with them too.
  
  
• Renee interviewed Sami backstage and he admitted that tonight was his chance to step out from Kevin's shadow.
  
  
• Dolph Ziggler returns next week.... to have a match with Baron Corbin
  
  
• Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn was just starting to get good when Sami started talking trash to AJ on commentary. AJ wasn't putting up with it and attacked them both, causing a DQ. As AJ stood in the ring shouting, Daniel Bryan came out with a microphone and declared that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens would both compete for the WWE Championship at Fastlane in a Triple Threat match.
  
  
• The show went off the air with one of the commentators noting,"This is ridiculous."
