Bengaluru, February 20: Last night's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw was the final edition of the show before the Elimination Chamber PPV. Final hype for the event also took place on the show along with a huge seven-man gauntlet match which was the main event of the night.

Seth Rollins came down to the ring to start the Gauntlet match, while the crowd broke into a BURN IT DOWN chant in the favor of The Architect. Rollins pulled all the stops while connecting with a suicidal dive on Reigns. The Big Dog countered with a Superman Punch and went for a spear. But, Rollins rolled him up for the pinfall win.
The reigning champion was on the verge of the victory by the DDT when Banks converted into a Bank Statement for the win. Absolution tried to deliver an ambush but Bliss and James worked together to stand tall while ending the show.
