<How will Asuka respond to Nia Jax?
Nia Jax proved that she is the Superstar most ready for Asuka when she laid out both Sasha Banks and Booley this past Monday night on Raw. With Asuka set to speak live on Raw, will The Empress of Tomorrow send a message of her own to The Irresistible Force before their match at WWE Elimination Chamber?
>What will Braun Strowman BREAK next?
Braun Strowman showed off some unexpected vocal range this past Monday night when he taunted Elias in song before delivering a “smash hit” to the troublesome troubadour with an upright bass.
The Monster Among Men and Elias will both compete in the Seven-Man Elimination Chamber Match — in which the songsmith will enter last — but something tells us that Strowman isn’t quite finished with Elias or the other five men competing in the perilous contest. Who will “get these hands” on the final Raw before WWE Elimination Chamber?
<The Women’s Elimination Chamber Match participants will square off in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match

With WWE Elimination Chamber looming, who will assert dominance in this final showdown prior to stepping inside the unrelenting structure? And how will dynamics such as Bliss’ attempting to regain the favor of Mickie and the apparent frostiness between Banks and Booley play into the contest?
