According to RingsideNews, Bobby Lashley is set to return to the WWE.

Rumor has it a deal has been finalized and fans should be looking to see him compete in a WWE ring very soon. Possibly tagging with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania or battling with Brock Lesnar if he decides to stay in the WWE after his contract is up.

Bobby Lashley came into the WWE in 2006. When WWE acquired ECW they had 3 brands running. RAW, Smackdown, and ECW. Lashley came in and became a breakout star. He even captured the belt for ECW and was the champion fighter for Donald Trump during the billionaire war. Soon after because of McMahon's embarrassing loss Lashley was stripped, got injured for real, came back had 1 or 2 matches and was released from the WWE. He left WWE and moved on to other programs and wrestling promotions.

Lashley is a decorated wrestler with several belts from several companies under his belt. I'm curious as to how the WWE will use him in this current regime. But none the less if this is true welcome back, Bobby Lashley. No word on when he'll return but expect to see him in the near future.

MATCH CARD

Kickoff Show

Men's Division: Gallows & Anderson "The Good Bros" vs Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel "The MizTourage"
Winner: The Good Bros

Um... didn't watch gonna be COMPLETELY HONEST here. So watch the highlights for yourself.

Elimination Chamber Show

Women's Elimination Chamber Match: Bayley vs Sonya DeVille vs Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss vs Mickie James vs Mandy Rose
Winner: Alexa Bliss

Eliminations:

1st - Mandy Rose
2nd - Sonya Deville
3rd - Mickie James
4th - Bayley
5th - Sasha Banks

Started off slow.  Bayley and Sonya started off the match. Then at "random" Mandy Rose was selected to come in. They double-teamed Bayley taking her out of commission. Trying to pin her multiple times but to no avail. Then Sasha was let in and that evened the odds. Both fighting to take out Deville and Rose. They were able to separate them. Mandy on Banks and Deville on Bayley. Banks was able to to get the drop on Mandy hit her with the bank statement and a quick elimination. Mandy Rose GONE! Sonya Deville was so sad it was hilarious she was like Mandy, No, lmao.


Girl it's a possible belt on the line you betta worry about yo self. Anyway, Mickie enters the match taking ova! In her wonder woman inspired gear. She was a spitfire. She brought some real spunk into this match. She fought past Bayley and Sasha and even took out Deville. Off the top of the chamber pod. It was awesome! I loved it! But then she was eliminated by Bayley. So then there was 3. Sasha and Bayley both waited until Alexa's pod entered was timed to open. She closed it and ran like the rat she is (her persona not her as a person. from what I've seen on total divas she's a really nice woman). She ran until the two former champs blocked her up on top of one of the pods. Which she climbed to by the way. Sasha gets to the pod Alexa tried to fight both Bayley and Sasha but of course, can't defend them both. Alexa ends up getting the beat down from Sasha. While trying to help Bayley up she kicks Bayley off the pod. Then they begin to fight and attack each other. While Alexa is jumping in at random. Long story short, Bayley was the last to be eliminated and it was down to 2. Sasha and Alexa. They put on a good fight twisted bliss here attempted frog splash there. It was good and started to turn in Alexa's favor when Sasha got caught on the chains of the chamber.

This led to an onslaught of attacks by Alexa. Twisted bliss, knee to the back of the head she tried to take Sasha out but it didn't work. Sasha got her in the bank statement but couldn't hold. They tussled and it got to a point where Sasha was on the top turnbuckle and Alexa pushed her head into the chamber pod glass. This allowed a roll-up and a win for Alexa. She is now the first winner of the first EVER women's elimination chamber. Solidifying her place in history.

Tag Team Championship: Titus Worldwide vs The Bar
Winner: The Bar

Honestly, did you really expect anything else?

Women's Division: Asuka vs Nia Jax
Winner: Asuka

Men's Division: Woken Matt vs Bray Wyatt
Winner: Matt Hardy

Ronda Rousey Signs Her WWE Contract

Men's Elimination Chamber Match: Elias vs Miz vs Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor vs Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman vs John Cena
Winner:

Eliminations:

1st - The Miz (Really did you expect anyone else?)
2nd - Elias (Duh, not surprised)
3rd - John Cena (bruh...didn't think it would be this early)
4th - Finn Balor (Jeez... at least I got to see 1916)
5th - Seth Rollins
6th - Braun Strowman

Match started off with 3. Seth Rollins, The Miz, and Finn Balor. This match didn't really pick up until John Cena was entered into the match. It pretty much a back and forth of who can do what to whom. Each wrestler got to shine. John, Roman, and even the Miz with his stolen YES kicks lmao all got to shine in their respective areas.



Then Braun Strowman entered and all hell broke loose. They tried to take him out together but they were not able to get Braun down. Braun Strowman simultaneously eliminated every single competitor by himself (with the exception of Roman Reigns). No joke, no bullshit ALL BY HIMSELF. Real talk I knew it would come down to Roman and Braun. I just thought Cena would last longer than he did. None the less these two Icons fought it out briefly and it took 3 spears and 2 superman punches to take out Strowman. He lost but he didn't take it lightly. He took out Reigns shortly after getting his hand raised. Just dropping him in the middle of the ring then threw him into the chamber pod. It was brutal.

The Elimination Chamber is set to begin at 8 officially but there is a long drawn out UN-NECESSARY PRESHOW. Which quite frankly would work if they didn't put matches that were irrelevant and unnecessary at the very end of the show and talk for at least 40 minutes about nothing. Absolutely nothing, but I am here to report in my own special way about what I see and I will do just that! So here we go:

The Elimination Chamber Match Card Consists of the Following:

Kickoff/Pre-Show

Tag Team Division: The Good Bros vs The MizTourage
Winner: The Good Bros

Not sure why they didn't book The Revival with this. Seeing as how they are the ones with the rivalry. It seems like they are scrambling not only in the tag team division but in the women's division as well. You need to have this ish planned out months in advance with a Plan B and Plan C in place in case someone gets injured like Samoa Joe and Dean Ambrose (two of your biggest stars). So to put it lightly I don't care who wins and honestly, it doesn't matter. It doesn't add or take anything away from the storyline leading to WrestleMania so, sigh, let's just move on.

Elimination Chamber Show

Men's Division Elimination Chamber Match: Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor vs Roman Reigns vs The Miz vs Elias vs Braun Strowman vs John Cena
Winner: Roman Reigns

I'm not sure who will win but I can tell you it will be between these men: Strowman, Reigns or Cena. Yea I said it will be one of them and I'm leaning towards Reigns.

Women's Division Elimination Chamber Match: Alexa Bliss vs Mandy Rose vs Sonya Deville vs Mickie James vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley
Winner: Alexa Bliss

This is the first time women will ever be in the chamber. It's a brutal match and I gonna be completely honest I'm scared for these women. But if Sasha and Charlotte can handle the hell in a cell match they had, then these women can tough out this match. Personally, I think it will come down to Sonya, Sasha, and Alexa. And I'm more towards Alexa.

Tag Team Division Championship Match: Titus Worldwide vs The Bar
Winner: The Bar

I'm surprised this isn't on the kickoff show. Real Talk I would prefer it. Because unless brace face and milkman are going to drop those to titles to Titus and Apollo for a little while to give Gallows and Anderson along with the Revival a dog in this race then there's no reason for this at all. I'm already over it.

Women's Division: Asuka vs Nia Jax
Stipulation: If Nia wins she will be added to the match at WrestleMania.
Winner: Asuka

I'm interested in this match but I'm pretty sure as to how it will go. Asuka's gonna win and then she's going to choose which title she will go after. There's no way WWE is going to end this streak. No way. I think Asuka will leave RAW and go after Charlotte on SDLive. I think that'll be interesting. Asuka has never faced Charlotte. Charlotte was gone from NXT by the Asuka came in I think. So I would prefer that! But she could pick a RAW opponent I'm anxious to see.

Men's Division: Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt
Winner: Matt Hardy

I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS MATCH. WINNER FOR MR. IRRELEVANT: WOKEN MATT AND EATER OF WORLDS BRAY WYATT. BUT ITS NOT THEIR FAULT RIGHT...

Listen I like Bray Wyatt's character. He is eerily charismatic and he draws you in like any good psychopath should. But he is not being utilized to his full potential. He is being thrust into a kiddie parlor version of light vs dark and it's just laughable at this point. I have NO VESTED INTEREST IN WHO WINS THIS MATCH AT ALL AND HONESTLY IT COULD GO anyway SO IM GONNA DO THIS IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY...

via GIPHY

YEA I CHOOSE MATT HARDY!

RAW kicked off with a Gauntlet Match with all 7 members of the Men's Division Elimination Chamber! No monologues, no talking just STRAIGHT FIRE! Now, this is what I've been talking about!!!!!

Matches

Men's Division: Gauntlet Match  

1st Match: Rollins vs Reigns
Winner: Seth Rollins

2 Former Members of the Shield. 2 men who know each other extremely well. This match started off slow. A lot of groundwork and headlocks. It slowly started to pick up. Roman got kicked in the stomach and wasn't feeling it all. But who would? I mean I've been accidentally hit in the stomach for real and I can tell you that ish feels like everything you ever have eaten is rotten in your stomach and your stomach is like HELL NAWL OUT BISH OUT! LMAO Anyway Roman raised up quick on Seth and they faced off. Now its back to Roman's pace. Groundwork, purposefully slowing Rollins down. When this match picked up it was awesome. Superman punches, dives, powerbombs on the turnbuckle and a possible curb stomp. Reigns and Rollins roll each other up. But Rollins got the roll-up for the win.

2nd Match: Rollins vs Cena
Winner: Seth Rollins

Rollins was READY ain't no waiting! Took out Cena before he could even get his gear off! LMAO Went in for the pin but Cena kicked out. Rollins has to hit hard and fast to end this. John Cena is one of those guys who can go for at least 30 to 45 minutes (hey hey get your minds out of the gutter you know exactly what I mean LMAO).

Yo, this MATCH WAS BOMB!!!!! IT WAS FUCKING BOMB!!!! Seth Rollins hit Cena with his own AA and Cena still kicked out. Rollins had to hit Cena with a curb stomp to end this EPIC MATCH! IT WAS EPIC!

3rd Match: Rollins vs Elias
Winner: Elias

Elias came out trying to get the drop on Seth several times but still, Seth kicked out. Elias is dangerous. He is trying to destroy Rollins' knee. It is brutal. Elias hits the Driftway and takes down Seth. Seth was in the ring for an hour against two of the biggest stars in the WWE. He really put forth a massive effort to win this gauntlet. Hats off Kingslayer! Classic Matches! That was 100% amazing.

Side Note: This match had been going on for an hour and 10 minutes. In 60 minutes Seth Rollins has been in 3 matches! He was absolutely spectacular!

4th Match: Elias vs Balor
Winner: Balor

Balor and Elias' match slowed down the Gauntlet. It turned into a normal match. Elias kept the tempo slow which in my eyes made it boring. Despite the fact that Balor did everything he could to speed things up. He picks up the win with a Coup de Grace. Love that move I wish he would do his old move from NXT. 1916 I believe he called it. Ah, I loved that finisher.

5th Match: The Miz vs Balor
Winner: THE MIZ

6th Match: The Miz vs Braun Strowman
Winner: Braun Strowman

This was THE MOST SATISFYING MATCH OF THE NIGHT. NO NEED FOR THE ASMR OR SLIME VIDEOS. Just watch this over and over and you'll be fine. You'll sleep like a baby I promise. LMAO anyway, the match a slaughtering of The Miz and his MizBitches. Truly a satisfying ending to the chamber gauntlet match. I highly recommend you watch the highlights!

Tag Team Division: The Bar vs Titus Worldwide
Winner: Titus Worldwide

In Other News 

The Participants of the Chamber Speak on their Chances & Their Performances in the Gauntlet Match

Jeff Jarrett got his break in the WWE in 1992 but had been a professional wrestler since 1986. For a while, Jeff was a staple in the WWE storylines as a villain and a hero especially those revolving around the Intercontinental Title. At least that's what I remember. He was very similar to what the Miz is today. 

Jeff Jarrett has had a career in every major wrestling entertainment promotion 2 of which he created or had a hand in building: WCW, TNA, WWE, NJPW, Global Force, and more. He's an ICON and I'm glad he's getting his place in the WWE HOF.

Congrats Jeff Jarrett. Just don't crack anyone over the head with a guitar if they say something you don't like at the ceremony LMAO!

Look I'm sorry ok. I've been sick with the flu for the past 2 weeks. I haven't been able to post about wrestling and honestly some of it I haven't watched. I've missed a lot. But I'm feeling better and I want to start my blog. So without further ado here is my review of tonights Monday Night Raw!

Last Week on Monday Night Raw:

Bayley lost to Asuka but earned her respect

Cena, Strowman, and Elias battled for the 6th Man entrance in the Chamber. Elias won. I thought the whole point of that Elimination Chamber was to see who would enter. The Surprise of it, Right?!

Elimination Chamber Tournament continued. Currently, the men in the chamber: Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, John Cena, The Miz, Elias, and a last chance winner of tonights match fatal four way. Finn Balor vs Matt Hardy vs Apollo Crews vs Bray Wyatt.

Mickie James is saved by her former ally Alexa Bliss

Women's Elimination Chamber Participants were Announced. Bliss will defend her title against: Bayley, Sasha, Sonya, Mandy, & Mickie James. Bliss tried to wriggle her way out of defending her title in the Elimination Chamber but Kurt shut that ish down real quick like.

Now that we're sort of caught up from what I can remember. Listen I was in a haze of medicine and hot toddies so I was 4 sheets to the wind man...I was dead to rights Lmao. Anyways...here's the review of this weeks Monday Night RAW...

2 Time Women's Champion and former GLOW superstar Ivory will be inducted into the WWE HAL OF FAME!

Ivory got her start in the WWE in 1999. Starting out as a manager of D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry. She later moved beyond management and earned 2 stints at the WWE Women's Champion.



She even was one of the members of Right to Censor. A group hell-bent on toning down the sex, drugs, foul-mouthed wrestlers of the WWE.


Ivory stayed in the WWE through the Attitude Era until 2005. She left her mark on the women's division as one of the fiercest and villainous competitors the women's division has ever seen.

Congratulations to Ivory!
