1. Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: The Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection defeated Nia Jax and Tamina, Fire and Desire, Naomi and Carmella, The IIconics, and The Riott Squad. Naomi and Carmella were eliminated when the IIconics rolled up Naomi. Jax and Tamina eliminated The IIconics and The Riott Squad. Jax crashed through a chamber pod, which allowed Bayley to hit a top rope elbow on Tamina and eliminate them. Finally, Banks was able to tap out Sonya Deville with a variation of the Banks Statement to win the match. Bayley and Sasha Banks are your first WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.

2. Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos defeated Shane McMahon and The Miz (c). McMahon put Jey Uso through the announce table with a top rope elbow drop. Jimmy Uso then pinned Miz with a crucifix to win the match and the Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

3. Handicap Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Finn Bálor defeated Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush. Bálor hit Rush with the Coup de Grace to win the match and the Intercontinental Championship. After the match, Lashley attacked Rush. 

4. Raw Women’s Championship Match: Ronda Rousey (c) defeated Ruby Riott. Rousey showed up dressed as Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat 11 and won easily with an armbar. After the match, Becky Lynch showed up on crutches and beat down Flair and Rousey before being escorted away by security.

5. No Disqualification Match: Baron Corbin defeated Braun Strowman. Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley attacked Strowman with chairs, and the heels triple-powerbombed him through double-stacked tables for the pinfall.

6. Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) defeated Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and Kofi Kingston. Styles eliminated Joe first with a Phenomenal Forearm. Hardy hit a Swanton from the top of a chamber pod onto Styles draped across the top turnbuckle, but walked into a running knee from Bryan and was eliminated. Orton countered a Phenomenal Forearm into an RKO to eliminate Styles. Kingston countered an RKO with Trouble in Paradise to eliminate Orton. Bryan and Kingston fought each other with all they had, but Kingston missed a splash from the top of a pod and got hit with a running knee for the loss.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 predictions

Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa
-> Let the Murphy cruiserweight title tour continue as the Australian sensation is given another main roster PPV shot to shine as champion.  
Pick: Buddy Murphy retains the title

No DQ Match: Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin
-> Possibly with the assistance of Drew McIntyre, Corbin may come away with the victory here to keep this program going just a bit longer before he finally gets what's coming to him.  
Pick: Baron Corbin wins 

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Miz & Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Usos
-> That story, obviously, is the eventual disintegration of the relationship between the reigning tag team champions. They'll retain here over one of the greatest WWE tag teams of all time, but on the same token, this should be where tension brewing between the duo begins to become prevalent.  
Pick: The Miz & Shane McMahon retain the titles

Raw Women's Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott
-> This has all the makings to be a stay-busy opportunity for Rousey on the road to a possible WrestleMania main event slot but that doesn't mean it won't shine as one of the best matches of the night. Not only is Riott's in-ring ability somewhat underrated, Rousey has been on a string of incredible pay-per-view matches. Don't expect that streak to end here as it will be fun to see whether Riott can raise her game to an entirely new level.  
Pick: Ronda Rousey retains the title

Intercontinental Championship: Bobby Lashley (c) & Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor
-> Coming out of the Brock Lesnar match, it makes a lot of sense for Balor to have a rivalry with Lashley. It's just that it feels like WWE rushed into this a bit when the first showdown between these two probably could have been next month at Fastlane. Instead, WWE has to figure out a way for Balor to lose this match yet keep the rivalry interesting for nearly two months heading into what I expect will be a rematch at 'Mania. The fact that this is a handicap match helps that from a storyline perspective, but it's also horrible booking that Lashley would need any help from Rush to beat Balor.  
Pick: Bobby Lashley retains the title

Women's Tag Team Championship (Elimination Chamber): Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Nia Jax & Tamina vs. Riott Squad vs. The IIconics vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. Naomi & Carmella
-> This could really go either way, but ultimately, the key for me is that I believe a heel tag team will win rather than the Boss 'N Hug Connection. Why? It would certainly be nice for Sasha Banks & Bayley to be the first women's tag team champions, but even better would be for them to win the titles for the first time at WrestleMania 35. Though it looks like this will be a multi-brand title, there are far more women on Raw than there are on SmackDown right now -- and they are basically doing nothing on Raw considering Rousey's top challengers are coming from SmackDown. It makes more sense for Jax and Tamina to get built up as a dominant team over the next seven weeks than it does for the Riott Squad to take the titles, so that's how I'm leaning with a storyline progressing towards New York.  
Pick: Nia Jax & Tamina win the titles  

 WWE Championship (Elimination Chamber): Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston
-> Considering what we have seen in the men's version of this match over the past two years, there is no reason to believe this will be anything other than spectacular. But as for handicapping a winner, Bryan remains the best guess because of how he currently is and because there doesn't seem to be an obvious babyface to take the title from him. While Kingston's underdog run through Tuesday's gauntlet match was fun, it would be quite an upset to see him win the title. Either way, look for this match to reveal which path the WWE championship is headed entering WrestleMania.
Pick: Daniel Bryan retains the title
