Monday Night Raw comes to us on the USA Network later on tonight as usual, and the show is now building towards the Elimination Chamber event scheduled to take place later on this month. Quite a few entrants for the men’s Elimination Chamber match have already qualified for the match, and the first-ever women’s Elimination Chamber match will see Alexa Bliss defend her Raw Women’s Championship against five other women inside of the structure. There’s only a few more stops to make on the ‘road to WrestleMania’, so WWE is doing all that they can to put the finishing touches on the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view before strictly focusing on shaping the card for WrestleMania.
Will it be @WWERomanReigns or @WWEBrayWyatt that enters the Men’s #EliminationChamber Match? We’ll find out TONIGHT on #RAW! #WWEChamber https://t.co/EKqR4HZSTG

Tonight’s edition of Raw will feature more qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber matches. It has already been announced that Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt will do battle for the chance to earn a spot in the match. The company has now confirmed that John Cena will be appearing on the show to take part in a triple threat match between himself, “The Drifter” Elias, and Braun Strowman. The Bar will also be facing Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan again tonight. WWE has also promised appearances on the show tonight from The Miz and The Revival, and the company seemed to indicate that there will be more qualifying matches for either the men or women’s Elimination Chamber matches taking place tonight.
On an recent edition of his Heated Conversations podcast, WWE Hall of Famer blamed Corey Graves for costing him his spot on the commentary team for Monday Night Raw. Booker claimed that Graves irked him on commentary for quite some time, eventually leading to WWE management moving him off of the announce desk to the pay-per-view kickoff panels. He then went as far as to challenge Graves to a fight, and he promised that he would knock the Raw announcer out if he ever saw him in public. Corey Graves has since responded to the issue in a very coy way. Booker was replaced by the returning Jonathan Coachman as an announcer for Raw last Monday night.
