WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Elimination Chamber Fallout

The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view has come and gone, and the WWE Universe is curious to see what will happen on the A-show.

History was made on Sunday as Sasha Banks and Bayley escaped the Elimination Chamber as the new Women's Tag Team Champions, defeating five other teams to capture the gold. But now that the Boss n Hug Connection are on top, there won't be a shortage of tandems looking to knock them down. Who will step up to Sasha and Bayley as the "Road to WrestleMania" gets shorter.

Also in the women's division, Becky Lynch surprised the Elimination Chamber crowd by appearing inside the ring with Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. The Lass Kicker took her frustrations out on Charlotte before setting her sights on Ronda, laying both women out with crutches. Will Lynch receive more discipline on Monday night? She is still suspended, after all.

Finn Balor won the Intercontinental Championship off of Bobby Lashley by pinning Lio Rush in a Handicap Match on Sunday. Perhaps even more shocking than Balor's victory was how Lashley took out Rush in a post-match beatdown. What is the status of the Rush/Lashley tandem and who will step up to Balor for his new belt?

There's a lot expected to go down on the February 18 edition of Monday Night RAW, and here's everything that happened this week.
