Your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

We also see Becky Lynch arriving at the building.

We look at highlights from Elimination Chamber.

Dominik Mysterio is in the ring.

He starts to talk and is booed down by the crowd.  He introduces Rhea Ripley.

Rhea welcomes everyone to Raw.  She says this weekend, she walked into her home country as your Women's World Champion.  She walked out as champion.  Nia Jax might have been the biggest threat to her title reign.  It doesn't matter how big you are, being from Down Under takes nothing away from Mami being on top.

Becky Lynch's music interrupts and she makes her way to the ring.

She says she is coming around to Wrestlemania . . . to fight you, as she points at Rhea.  She says she came out to tell Rhea congratulations.  What a night you had.  What a night they both had on Saturday.  Becky says she won the Elimination Chamber and you successfully defended your title against Nia Jax in your home country in the main event.  Becky says all of Rhea's friends and family were there to watch.  Now they won't have to fly to Wrestlemania to watch you lose. 

Dom says nobody talks to Mami like that.

Becky tells Dom to shut his mouth.  She says if Mami won't put you in your place, she will.

Becky tells Rhea she is on one hell of a run, one of the most impressive she has seen.  You have been the face of this company.  Becky says she has been the backbone and the heart and soul of this company.  She says she became a Grand Slam champion while writing a book.  She says she can beat Rhea Ripley.

Rhea tells Becky not to disrespect her Latino Heat like that.  She congratulates Becky on winning the Elimination Chamber.  Why not try to get close to her level.  You say you are the backbone of this division.  The Man always say they are the backbone of everything.  Behind every great Man is a greater woman.  Rhea says she is not behind Becky because Mami is always on top.

Nia Jax comes from behind and hits Becky from behind.  Nia slams Becky's head into the mat and she hits a leg drop.  Nia with another leg drop.  Nia pulls Becky into the corner and sets for a Bonsai Drop but officials pull Becky out of the way.  Pearce has some words for Nia.

Jackie Redmond is with Nia Jax and she asks why did Nia attack Becky.

Nia says Becky won Elimination Chamber but Becky should not be going to Wrestlemania since she beat Becky clean.

Jackie asks about her match against Liv Morgan.

Nia says what happened to Becky, expect ten times for more Liv.

We take a look at the feud between Imperium and The New Day.

We see Kofi and Xavier arriving at the building earlier today.

Chelsea Green has something to say before her match.

She says tonight, after issuing a formal complaint with WWE management, she will be competing in protest.  Last week, she would have won the battle royal to enter and win the Elimination Chamber match if Pearce did not add Raquel Rodriguez to the match.  That was a fraudulent decision.  The people wanted her because she is a star.  Raquel flew to Perth to lose?  To be a big dumb loser, like your San Jose Sharks.  Green says she is going to prove that Raquel is a loser by kicking her ass.

Match Number Two:  Chelsea Green versus Raquel Rodriguez

Chelsea draws a line on the mat and Raquel crosses it.  Chelsea makes another line and Raquel crosses it.  Green slaps Raquel and Green almost escapes but Raquel keeps her in the ring.  Raquel with a punch and fallaway slam.  Raquel with another fallaway slam.  Raquel picks up Green for a Tejana Bomb and gets the three count.

Winner:  Chelsea Green

Jackie Redmond is with Sami Zayn in the back.  She mentions his victory and what the win meant to him.

Sami says needing this win is an understatement.  He says this match has been on his mind all week.  He says he cannot imagine what a loss would have meant for him.  That win tonight reaffirms everything he has said.  He says he is a contender and he will be a champion.  He says if the goal does not find him, he will find it.

Ludwig Kaiser shows up and Jackie leaves.

Kaiser and Vinci walk past and then Gunther looks at Sami and laughs before walking away.

We go to commercial.
