[NOISE] Ring the Bell.
[SOUND] >> Match officially underway.
Elias, Cena, Strowman, and Elias is going to take a little breather.
>> You know what, I'll give him credit.
That was about the smartest thing Elias has ever done.
>> And John is like.
>> And Cena unloading.
>> Never back down, never give up.
>> And get John Cena going after Braun Strowman.
And a boot from Strowman to Cena Triple threat match, live on Raw.
>> Triple threat action live on Monday Night Raw.
Strowman, Elias, and Cena.
Elias stepped in the ring for the first time and now back out again.
>> The speed of Strowman.
>> Strowman back into the ring and John Cena will meet him there.
And Cena with the power.
>> Wow.
>> And just couldn't do it.
Strowman cover.
>> One.
>> And Elias looking to break things up and ran right into Braun Strowman.
>> Always remember what's at stake in this match guys.
>> Yeah, the winner of the match will enter the elimination chamber number
six, last.
Huge advantage.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Maybe Elias can write a song about
that time I tried to fight a grizzly bear.
>> [LAUGH] I was about to give Elias some credit.
>> [INAUDIBLE] Game pinfall submission will win this match.
No disqualifications, don't count, Strowman dominating.
[APPLAUSE] >> Strowman' s been an Elimination Chamber
match in his career.
Neither is Elias.
But can you imagine the damage Strowman could cause inside the chamber.
>> It's almost as if the match is made for somebody like him.
I mean [INAUDIBLE] Strownoiny, you're gonna fit in one of those pods.
>> And a headbutt by Strowman.
John Cena in his career has been in six chamber matches.
My God.
>> So what you're saying is,
Cena understands how important it would be to go into that match last.
>> Well and John Cena has won three chamber matches in his career.
One he did win from a number six position.
Back in 2010, so he does understand the importance of it.
And John Cena now and Elias ganging up by Braun Strowman.
The power of Stroman, Cena trying to shoulder tackle,
Elias tryna a knee driving Strowman back to the rope.
Strowman Maybe dazed a bit, sent over the top of landing on the floor.
>> This is so bizarre to me that Elias and Cena are teaming up.
>> Well you gotta eliminate Strowman to have a chance in this match up I guess.
Off the post.
>> Says that he can make for strange bedfellows.
>> And now Elias, Cena have Strowman reeling.
Driving him into the post again and the monster's down on one knee.
Understanding the look between Elias and Cena, this is completely out of necessity.
>> You look into the future guys,
it's the time of matches that you could see in the elimination chamber match.
>> And Strowman driven into the steps and he's down
>> If you think this is chaotic and
insane, now just imagine could have three other
WWE superstars in the fray at the same time.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> And Cena now with the steps at hand,
look at John Cena.
We're gonna go right [INAUDIBLE] >> Right off the face of Strowman.
>> And Strowman still on his feet.
>> And now what's Cena gonna.
[NOISE] And a guitar by Elias off the back of the master.
Strowman still on his feet, Cena looking to bring on an AA,
look at the power of Cena, an AA onto the steps.
>> Can you believe it, you gotta be kidding me.
Ahh, from behind Elias.
Elias looking to take advantage.
>> A smart cover.
>> Who's gonna win this matchup in and enter chamber, that was the last entry and
number, kick out at two.
>> Triple Threat rules anything goes everything is legal.
Elias now taken advantage of the temporary alliance with Cena.
>> Yeah, that was smart by Cena.
>> Again.
Hooks the leg, Cena two.
>> Even smarter for Elias.
>> You gotta wonder how Cena's back is feeling after just
lifting the 385 pounds Strowman.
>> Here's what poor [INAUDIBLE] endured over the past few moments.
Thinking about.
>> But what about the power of Cena here.
>> It's surreal, but again, in a match like this with two opponents you have
to concern yourself with, that was a lot of energy John had to resort to.
>> Yeah, how smart was it for Elias to attack Cena from behind.
Ladies and gentleman, Monday Night Raw is live tonight.
In Des Moines, Iowa.
This is a triple threat match between the two men in the ring, Cena and Elias, and
Braun Strowman, who's down and out outside the ring.
Backbreaker, cover.
Hooks the leg by Elias.
Kick out.
The winner of this match will enter the elimination chamber number six,
the last entry in that match.
>> And clearly because of the lack of time in the elimination chamber.
For me, Elias needs this more than the other two.
>> Already tonight, Roman Reigns is qualified for
the chamber match with a win over Bray Wyatt.
The Miz is qualified for the chamber match with a win over Apollo Cruz.
Already Strowman, Cena, Elias are in.
>> Aggressive real chin lock by Elias.
Just grinding down the 16 time world heavyweight champion.
>> Strowman was taken out of this match at least
momentarily by an AA off the steps by John Cena.
>> Not to mention a direct hit with the stairs,
followed by a guitar shot from the highest indeed.
They're doing what they have to do gentlemen.
>> Might I suggest bringing the national guard to Las Vegas.
>> Look at that >> Again Strowman right off,
spine first off the steps.
>> I just can't get over it.
John Cena and the power it took.
To get Strowman up on his shoulders and to deliver the A.A. [APPLAUSE] But
Elias took advantage by attacking Cena from behind immediately after that A.A.
>> Braun might have some broken ribs.
[NOISE] >> Shoulder tackle by John Cena.
And now John Cena beginning to roll.
>> [NOISE] >> Look at the face, John Cena.
>> Do you know what's exhausting- >> Yeah indeed,
[INAUDIBLE] what he did to Braun took a lot out of them.
Elias.
>> Strowman with a power slam.
>> Where did [INAUDIBLE] V come from.
>> And now, trying to do the same to Elias and Elias sends Strowman outside the ring.
Cover by Elias, looking to take advantage.
>> [CROSSTALK] [SOUND] >> Elias wins.
Here's your winner, Elias. >> A massive victory for Elias.
Taking advantage of the damage by Strowman.
>> Strowman's not finished yet.
[NOISE] >> A Power slam to Elias.
>> [NOISE] [NOISE]
[APPLAUSE]
>> A massive win by Elias tonight.
He will enter the elimination chamber number six.
The last entry in that match.
>> An absolutely huge advantage for Elias.
But guys, right now, that's the last thing on his mind.
>> Strowman's not done yet.
Braun Strowman, Cena up high.
[APPLAUSE] >> Another rocky Power Slam.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> It's almost like this crowd is just egging him on.
They want more.
>> There is no doubt about it, Stroman is happy to oblige.
Elias going for the ride again.
>> Maybe alliance will enter the Elimination Chamber on a stretcher
because we'll let him right.
>> Another power slam.
>> At least he'll get in wielded last.
[MUSIC]
And the question is guys, no matter where he enters, are we looking at the favorite,
is Braun Strowman the favorite in the elimination chamber match.
>> We get to sin city five other top WWE superstars are bound to get those hands.
>> Look at what we're looking at in the ring right now.
Cena, Elias down, not moving.
We've seen this movie before at the elimination chamber.
Is this the picture that we're gonna see in less that three weeks' time.
>> [NOISE]
>> I'll tell you though, one thing we have
not seen in the elimination chamber before and that's that man, Braun Strowman.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> [LAUGH]
>> Well.
>> You can blame iyuwa [LAUGH].
Not again, not again.
>> Apparently they don't wanna go home.
There's a lot of snow outside.
[NOISE] >> Power slam.
>> You're looking at the abominable Strowman.
>> And he's not done yet.
>> Elias should have headed back to the locker when he could.
This is where it doesn't pay off for Elias to be a solo act.
If you had a band, you'd have at least some more weapons, some drumsticks,
a kick drum, something to try to stop Strowman.
>> One more time.
>> As I'm watching this, I'm thinking to myself.
>> Whoa.
>> Braun Strowman may want to go in first in the Elimination Chamber.
>> That means that he can deliver more damage.
