The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view fallouts will be the main focus for this week’s WWE Raw. We have had a historic night where Sasha Banks and Bayley became the women’s tag team champions. It was indeed a huge moment for the entire women’s division. So what would be next for them heading toward Wrestlemania season? We will find out on tonight.

We have also crowned a new champion in Finn Balor. He defeated Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush to win his first Intercontinental Championship. His next challenge will be waiting on WWE Raw. Also, a new era will start in the tag team division with The Revival as the new champions. All of these are likely to start the storylines for the next PPV in line, Fastlane. Tonight’s episode will take place at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Sasha Banks and Bayley will be the focal point of tonight’s episode of WWE Raw following Elimination Chamber. These two were regular names on WWE Raw for a long time who did not have the spotlight on them. With this win over WWE Raw tag team championships, they are likely to get the due. But WWE.com did not bring them good news for them,

“It’s a safe bet, however, that there will be no rest for the inaugural titleholders. Now that The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection has reached unprecedented heights, what tandem will step into the spotlight to try and knock them back down on The Road to WrestleMania?”

It is clear that the women’s tag champs from WWE Raw will get their next opponents, as early as possible. The question is which team will get the opportunity to compete for these titles, next. We assume a contenders’ match will take place on the show featuring superstars from both WWE Raw and Smackdown. This should determine the next contenders who will get the title match at Fastlane.

Finn Balor has become the new Intercontinental Champion at Elimination Chamber. This man was starving for a title for a long time. With this mid-card title around his waist, he is likely to cement his spot at Wrestlemania in a big match. But prior to that, he has to go through with the next challenge at Fastlane. We assume the rivalry against Bobby Lashley will continue until this PPV event. Also, it will be interesting to see whether Lashley cuts all the ties with Lio Rush following the loss.

A major fallout will be there on WWE Raw after Becky Lynch invaded Elimination Chamber. She is in a suspended situation where she just can’t appear on shows. But she kept doing it continuously. Not only that, she delivered beatdowns on Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey on last night. So the authorities should address the headache named Becky Lynch, once again. We assume to get a singles contest between Flair and Lynch at Fastlane. The winner will end facing Rouse at Wrestlemania for WWE Raw women’s championship.

Last week, The Revival won the WWE Raw tag team championships after weeks of conspiracy against them. They have promised to change the scene around the tag division since after winning the titles. Well, they can do it via a change with the straps. Rumors suggest that The Revival might be bringing back the old-fashioned tag team titles. So the unveiling might happen on tonight’s episode of WWE Raw. They should also find out their first challengers with Fastlane on the horizon.
