 Rhea Ripley def. Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka, Kiana James and Alexa Bliss in a WWE Women's Championship No. 1 Contender's Elimination Chamber MatchWhile this won't be remembered as the best women's Chamber match of all-time, this was still a very good match and the hottest the crowd sounded all night (at least for anything that happened in the ring). Bliss getting eliminated first was certainly shocking, but I assume she and Charlotte Flair end up in the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship mix at WrestleMania 42. James had a much better outing here than she did at the Royal Rumble, while Rodriguez looked dominant in defeat. The final stretch with Ripley and Stratton was strong and Ripley winning was the right call. Her against Jade Cargill at 'Mania is an attraction, but it doesn't excite me on paper because of the lack of story, so hopefully they can come up with an interesting one in the coming weeks.

 AJ Lee, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss def. Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, Lash Legend and WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors in a WarGames MatchFor what it's worth, we did not get the shark cages for the WarGames matches on this show, but that may have been because it took place in a stadium (not to mention there was no way Brock Lesnar was going to be stuck in a cage with multiple wrestlers waiting to be released). This was a good WarGames match from the women and I'm glad they didn't go overboard with the plunder. Lee submitting Lynch was logical to further that feud, but are they going to wait until WrestleMania 42 to go one-on-one? That's too far away in my opinion, so it should happen well before then.
 Bronson Reed def. Roman Reigns in an Australian Street FightWe see Street Fights way too often in WWE, so the stipulation wasn't overly exciting on paper, but they made the most of it and had a fun brawl. The interference from Bron Breakker and The Usos was expected, but it played into the story with Reigns previously telling Jey Uso that he didn't want him to get involved and then that factoring into the finish here. I'm glad they went with Reed winning in his home country because this was a huge victory for him and should ideally give him a boost.
 Brock Lesnar def. John CenaThis was originally announced as the main event by Joe Tessitore on Monday's Raw but was later changed to the opener. The correct call was made as this would not have been a very strong main event. Sure, it had a big fight feel right before the bell rang, but it turned out to be a flurry of finishes and very little else. Cena had a few hope spots, but otherwise, this was total domination from Lesnar a la SummerSlam 2014. There really is no reason for them to revisit this (especially for Cena's last match), so hopefully they move on. And, if it wasn't already obvious, it looks like Lesnar's here to stay.
 Matt Hardy def. Mark Henry, Finlay, Chavo Guerrero and The Miz in a Scramble Match to Win the ECW ChampionshipThis Scramble match was the first of its kind. It took some time for the crowd to get into the concept as it started out slow, but once they picked up the pace, they came alive for a lot of the nearfalls. This turned into an enjoyable opener. Hardy winning the right call after having failed in his previous attempts at capturing the championship and Henry (the defending champ) didn't have to get pinned in the process.
