WWE RAW REPORT: IS JEY A CHAMPION?, WHO IS THE FINAL PERSON IN THE WOMEN'S CHAMBER MATCH?, HOW DID TRUTH DO WITH DX TONIGHT?, AND MORE

We are back and Jackie Redmond is with Sami Zayn. 

She brings up Sami's loss last week and Drew's involvement.

Sami says he has been thinking about it a lot and he says he needs to put a pause on his issues with Drew.  He says he gets fixated and he gets stuck.  He can't see what is in front of him.  He says he has a path to Wrestlemania and it will present itself.  He says it might sound crazy and delusional.  He did not get this far without trusting the feeling in his gut.  He needs to do something historic and prove that he is a contender and will be a champion.

Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.

Becky says the crowd has been amazing.  She says she has been lucky enough to do amazing things and there are not too many new things to do.  She says her hat is new and she asks the people if they like it.  She says in five days she will step inside the Elimination Chamber for the first time with the need to win in order to face Rhea Ripley at Wrestlemania.  They have been dancing around each other for a year with some long stare downs to delay the inevitable.  They will collide.  She says when they do, it will be the fight of their lives.  Rhea has been front and center of everything.  She has been riding a once in a lifetime wave of momentum.  She has been boosted by The Judgment Day, those Truth haters.

Becky says there is her, the biggest threat to Rhea's title.  She has been fighting everyone and at this very moment, she is the best she has ever been.

On the flip side of her being the best she has ever been, so has everybody else.  She will be stepping into the Elimination Chamber with five of the most promising stars.  Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Raquel Rodriguez, Naomi, and Tiffany Stratton.  While she has nothing against any of them, other than Tiffany, she has beaten most of them.  Never has she done it in a cage built with glass and steel.  The prize of Wrestlemania hangs in the balance.

Liv Morgan interrupts.

She apologizes for interrupting and she says she is a big fan of the hat.  She says she is not a fan of sitting in the back listening to why you should be facing Rhea at Wrestlemania.  You want to prove you are the best.  Liv says she gets it and that is cool.  Liv says she doesn't care who is the best.  This is about her revenge, her redemption, and her life.  She says her and Rhea used to be tag team partners, until Rhea turned on her.  Then she became a champion with Raquel Rodriguez, but Rhea cost them the titles.  Rhea injured her shoulder, costing her six months when she was at her best.  Liv says she wants to remind Becky that she is the last person to defeat Rhea Ripley . . .

Raquel Rodriguez comes out and says they are making good points.  You are dealing with Rhea Ripley, but who knows who the champion will be after Elimination Chamber.  It could be Rhea or it could be Nia.  There is only one woman big enough and strong enough to . . .

Naomi interrupts and comes out to the ring.

Becky welcomes Naomi back to Raw and to this tea party.

Naomi says she came back with a purpose.  She made a name for herself inside and out of the ring.  She is here to climb back to the top because that is where she belongs.

Tiffany Stratton interrupts and she tells everyone it is Tiffy Time.  Tiffany tells Naomi while you were out trying to make another name for yourself, you left an empty space.  The only space that she is concerned about is being the center of this universe.  Nobody cares about the past.  Looking at all of you, that is all she sees.  Been there . . done that.  The future is her and . . .

Bianca Belair finishes off the six pack of people in the Chamber match.

Bianca says Tiffany is new around here so she doesn't know what running her mouth will get her.  Bianca reminds Tiffany who she is and she says she has been at the top for a long time.  You will find out that you will never be like her.  Bianca says she has done something that none of you have done and that is win the Chamber match.  She says she will continue her streak at Wrestlemania.  She says she will pin all of you to get to Wrestlemania because you can't spell Wrestlemania without E-S-T.

Tiffany says that Bianca is so last year because she peaked last year.

Bianca says Tiffany barely goes here.

Liv and Tiffany fight.  Becky goes after Bianca so Raquel goes after Naomi.

Nia Jax gets involved and she hits splashes on Bianca, Becky, and Raquel.  Nia with a Samoan drop to Naomi.  Nia gets Liv up and she sends Liv into the ring post.  Nia tosses Tiffany into the ring steps.  Nia with a body block to Bianca.  Nia with a leg drop to the Raquel's back.  Nia with a hip attack to Naomi and a leg drop to Liv in the ropes.  Nia with a leg drop to Becky.

Gunther says tonight is the greatest night in Jey Uso's career because he can fulfill his dream of being a singles champion.

Gunther tells Jey he is the Ring General.  He is the longest reigning and greatest Intercontinental Champion.  When the bell rings, he will show Jey that he doesn't belong in the main event.  Jey will have to keep on dreaming.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Shinsuke Nakamura talks about Sami Zayn.  He says true fighters don't whine to everyone when they are not in the spotlight.  He say he will give Sami one.  He says if you think you're an underdog, he will make sure Sami stays that way.  He says he will defeat Sami again and break him.  He says Sami can bask in everyone's misery and he will show everyone that the contender is a pretender.  He tells Sami anytime and anywhere.
