WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 Results: Ronda Rousey Era Begins and Top Takeaways

Predictability ruled at WWE Elimination Chamber 2018.

The company did little in the way of swerving its fans and providing any moments of genuine surprise. 

While the show had its fun moments and high points, in the end the company's plans for WrestleMania took a fairly straightforward step on Sunday night.

With Ronda Rousey's official contract signing and two Chamber matches, there were plenty of things for fans to get excited about.

Ultimately, though, the event delivered exactly what many expected.

Here's a look at the top takeaways from Sunday's show.

 

 

        Nia Jax Won't Go Away Quietly

Asuka's undefeated streak may have continued on Sunday night, but don't expect Nia Jax to fade into the background when it comes to the title picture at WrestleMania 34.
It looks almost certain Asuka will face Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship, but you can still envisage a way in which WWE pushes Jax into the mix.
She's too good, and too promising, to be left with no real plans to speak of at Mania. With Bayley vs. Sasha Banks looking a lock the closer we get to April 8, Jax would be out in the cold, so to speak.
More performances like the one she delivered on Sunday, as well as her post-match attack on Asuka, will surely convince WWE she is worthy of being added to the title mix.
And adding a third participant also allows WWE to keep Asuka's streak intact should the company opt for another champion heading out of Mania.

     Raw's Tag Division Needs Fresh Blood

WWE got the booking right in having Sheamus and Cesaro retain their Raw tag titles on Sunday night, but it all felt a bit flat when it came to the brand's tag division.
Pushing Titus Worldwide into the slot of tag title contenders was a surprise to say the least. They've been pretty low down the pecking order for a while, and in that regard it was clear they probably wouldn't leave Elimination Chamber with the belts.
Where next for The Bar, though, and where next for the tag division?
It's time the company pushed some other teams into the spotlight. The Revival have been underused since coming up from NXT, while Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson remain a team fans can get behind.
A multi-team bout at WrestleMania will give those guys, as well as some others, a chance to shine.
Right now, Raw's tag division needs freshening up.
