WWE RAW Results 29th January 2018, Latest Monday Night Raw winners and video highlights

A new logo and theme, the return of Jonathan Coachman on commentary and some massive Elimination Chamber build up; Raw started off with great promise on the heels of a solid royal Rumble.

And did we mention the first time ever showdown between John Cena and Finn Balor to determine who gets a spot in the men's Elimination Chamber match? The fallout Raw for Rumble felt like a PPV and we certainly weren't complaining.

Here are the results and highlights:

Opening segment

Stephanie McMahon opened the show and spoke about the HISTORIC Royal Rumble and Ronda Rousey's much-anticipated return. Most importantly she focussed on the woman of the hour, the one no is ready for, Asuka.

Asuka made her way to the ring to a great pop while Stephanie looked on proudly. McMahon announced that Alexa Bliss will defend her Raw Women's title at the Elimination Chamber in the first ever Women's EC match. Asuka cut a feisty promo in Japenese, thanked the fans and vowed to become champion at WrestleMania while doing the customary pointing towards the WM sign.

The Boss interrupted the proceedings. She took the mic and claimed that she was ready for Asuka tonight and Stephanie wasted no time in booking the dream clash for tonight.

That was not all as Finn Balor was scheduled to face John Cena for the first time ever in the EC qualifying match. Also, Reigns would invoke his IC title rematch clause against The Miz and would face him tonight.
