WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW

The January 29 episode of Raw was an explosive one that followed up on the promise of the Royal Rumble pay-per-view from 24 hours earlier, featured two first-time encounters and also set the stage for the upcoming Elimination Chamber event.
Qualifying matches for the men's chamber bout dominated the show, with John Cena, Elias and Braun Strowman all cashing their tickets to Las Vegas on February 25.
Asuka battled Sasha Banks in a legitimate main event-worthy match, while the Intercontinental Championship was up for grabs between Roman Reigns and The Miz.
Sprinkle in a tag team title match and a Last Man Standing bout, and you have the recipe for a superb USA Network broadcast.
Stephanie McMahon and Asuka Kick Off Raw
On the heels of the historic women's Royal Rumble, WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon kicked off the show, introducing Asuka to a big pop. She congratulated The Empress of Tomorrow on her win but was quick to announce the first-ever women's Elimination Chamber match.
The match will be for Alexa Bliss' Raw Women's Championship.
Asuka, unwavering in her self-belief, once again exclaimed, "No one is ready for Asuka!"
Sasha Banks interrupted and, after halfheartedly congratulating her, challenged Asuka to a match on Monday night.
McMahon made the bout official as Asuka and Banks stared each other down.

Analysis
The announcement of the Elimination Chamber match creates questions as to whether Bliss will actually escape February with her title. It creates more suspense around a division that is suddenly red hot.
Banks continued to showcase her heel side, showing more attitude and irreverence as she interrupted Asuka's first promo as the inaugural Royal Rumble victor.
The entire ordeal set up a legitimate dream match.
