They have Elimination Chamber coming up quick. No point in having too many blow-offs tonight to have to build new matches so fast.
But, it is certainly a Raw heavy show.

I hope this leads to an elimination chamber featuring all of these women.
They should have just done one more Becky vs Alexa match.

Makes too much sense not to happen.

Poor Smackdown women on the pre-show 
And does Becky have new ring gear in every match?

Naomi is the best athlete in the division? Lol

That was pretty nice.
Not likely. I think the reason this match got dropped was because it's a two hour pre show and they need three matches to fill it.

Wasn't she a theatre before coming into WWE?

A 2 hour pre-show and they still manage to have mid-match adverts. I'm almost impressed.

A dancer. I believe. Which is fine snd dancing requires athletecism but the best athlete? Please

Oh good another tag match where Becky's getting her ass kicked and is the one who has to make the hot tag.

they cut to commercial?
what part of the game is this?
the entire pre-show minus the matches is a commercial!

Almost want to get it just to see the Macho Man footage.
Predictions:
Nia Jax vs Sasha Banks: I can see them wanting to continue this feud and Nia beating Banks in the first encounter gives Nia heat and credibility.
Cesaro and Sheamus(c) vs Gallows and Anderson: This one is tough because Cesa-Shea just got the things, but The Club really can't afford to lose again. Also, have two refs is stupid.
Team Nao-Nik-Beck vs Team Alex-Mick-Nat: The heels pretty much have to win, right? Alexa is champ, Mickie just came back, and Nattie needs some heat.
Charlotte(c) vs Bayley: PPV streak and all that bullshit. Bayley will probably win at Mania.
Roman Reigns v Kevin Owens(c): Balee Dat.
John Cena v AJ Styles(c): This one I'm not 100% on because I'm not sure if they'd want Cena to get #16 tonight or delay it till Mania. I'm going to say they wait till Mania, but it really could go either way.
Royal Rumble
Who I think it will be: Brauny the Strowman
Who it will probably be: Undertaker
Who I'd mark out for: Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn, or The Miz
Who could really use it but doesn't have a chance in hell: Bray Wyatt
8 Surprises:
Tye Dilllenger
Samoa Joe
Kurt Angle
Tyler Bate
James Ellsworth
A Woman (no idea which one lol, but I'd bet either Asuka, Nia Jax, or Sasha Banks)
Shawn Michaels
Kevin Owens after losing his belt
If Finn is cleared, swap Owens for him. Also, Rollins will attack someone and take their spot.

Pre show is simultaneously broadcasted on youtube to encourage people to sign up to the network to watch the main show. Why they don't have an uninterrupted broadcast for those of us watching on the Network and thus already subscribed is beyond me.

Stop with those kicks, Naomi.

Women are no longer the bathroom break matches now they are the Pre-Show matches.

Naomi was on fire during that sequence.
Don't worry. They left the Raw women on the main card. So you're still good.

Why.
So Alexa ate the pin. :/
She's dropping the belt at EC. They've been making her look really weak lately.
Bets she's looked in a while.

So Naomi vs Alexa is the Wrestlemania feud?
I thought the heels winning was a given. Figured they would want to give Mickie a pin to make her comeback look stronger. Naomi having pinned Alexa clean twice now is a good long-term storyline that I had no faith in WWE to tell.

Probably for the Wrestlemania pre-show

Becky's whole title reign was matches or segments ending with her looking like an idiot. Now the same is happening to Alexa.
The belt must be cursed.
They have a smackdown pay per view in 2 weeks. So this sets up the title match on it.
The elimination chamber pay per view might actually have 3 women matches on it if the women don't do a chamber match.
Elimination Chamber feud. Mania is going to be Nikki's moment.

Nice split legged moonsault.
Good finish as Naomi now can credibly enter the title picture and Bliss will have someone new to beat, hopefully.

I would have agreed with that logic if that match was part of the main Rumble card instead of being buried in the pre-show.

Nah probably just for Elimination Chamber. Which is like 2 weeks away. It'll be probably be a fatal four way or something similar at Wrestlemania, to fit in as many as possible into that match.
BewareTheBatsie

I guess that's throwing out the idea of a women's elimination chamber match. I figured with six women in this tag match that all are feuding with someone the paths would cross eventually.
Me too but for Mickie, not Alexa.
