WWE Monday Night Raw preview and schedule: February 12, 2018

Bengaluru, February 12: We are set to finalize the list of participants that will compete at the Elimination Chamber on tonight's WWE Monday Night Raw hosted at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

The compactness of the episodes in WWE Raw has been felt ever since the Royal Rumble PPV has passed us by and this certainly indicates that we are indeed on the Road to Wrestlemania.

A huge fatal-4-way match for the final spot in the Elimination Chamber has been announced for the show as the main event with the winner at the PPV set to get a shot at the title in Wrestlemania 34.

The live telecast of the episode in India will be via Sony Ten 1 Network on Tuesday (February 13) from 6.30 AM (IST) onwards, while the repeat is shown later in the day via the same network at 12 PM (IST).

As mentioned earlier, there will be a second chance tonight’s for the participants who lost their respective qualifying matches during last couple of weeks. So, they are set to get another opportunity to book their spot inside the Elimination Chamber. Finn Balor, Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt and Apollo Crews will compete in this match. Check out the updates from WWE.com,

“Live on Raw, Finn Bálor, “Woken” Matt Hardy, Apollo Crews, and Bray Wyatt will collide in a Second Chance Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the final entrant in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match on Sunday, Feb. 25, with the winner of that bout going on to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania.”

Balor starts the favorite to win the contest as Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy will be distracted with the bitter rivalry which will cost them the title shot. This will set up a singles match between them at the Chamber PPV.

Braun Strowman has been unstoppable with carnage he has brought to Monday Night Raw for quite sometimes. He concluded last week’s episode by destroying John Cena and Elias. Even after a defeat, he managed to stand tall. We expect to hear more from Strowman on the show.

Last week we saw an interesting alliance on WWE Raw, when Alexa Bliss came out to save Mickie James from the Absolution. This was a surprise as pair have been in rivalry from this past fall. This is just seems like a trick from Alexa to keep the momentum heading into Elimination Chamber. Mickie is expected to brief us about this on tonight’s episode.

With Jason Jordan being injured, the future of Seth Rollins is certainly in jeopardy. It is not clear whether he will go for the tag team titles or pursue a singles career from now on. It is also not clear whether he will be involved in Elimination Chamber at this point. Major clarifications need to be made on this issue. Plus, the buildup for the match between Nia Jax and Asuka is also expected to continue on Raw.
