WWE
Elimination Chamber match card
- Nia Jax & Tamina vs Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs The Riott Squad vs The IIconics  vs. Bayley & Sasha Banks vs Naomi & Carmella in a Tag team Elimination Chamber match for the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
- The Miz and Shane McMahon vs The Usos for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship
Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles vs Jeff Hardy vs Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton vs Samoa Joe in an Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship
- Buddy Murphy vs Akira Tozawa for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
- Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott for the WWE Raw Women's Championship

Becky Lynch has been on a tear for the past few weeks on RAW and SmackDown, having won the Women's Royal Rumble match at Chase Field in Phoenix, she has demanded a match against Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania. But Lynch has refused time and time again a medical examination on her injured knee that occurred at the Royal Rumble, so last week on RAW, Stephanie McMahon then gave Lynch an ultimatum: have her knee examined so she can be cleared to compete at WrestleMania or be suspended until she has the examination. Not only did Lynch refused again and got herself suspended, she attacked Stephanie despite how hurt her knee was, then on the next night on SmackDown, Lynch showed up and interrupted Charlotte Flair who wanted take her place against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania. This caused WWE COO Triple H to enter the ring and try to stop things before they were escalate into another brawl, but talking sense into Becky wasn't so easy, Triple H believed that Becky was afraid of Rousey which is why she would get go to the Doctor and have her knee checked out. Becky got really pissed and slapped HHH across the face before leaving through the crowd. Sp the entire McMahon Family has invite Becky back to Raw tomorrow night to try and discuss the situation a little bit better, but there's no guarantee that "The MAN" will be so civil, in fact, this brand new #TwitterTrend let's you know what WWE fans think what is really going on. As wrestling fans, we all remember that Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon had one of the most high-profile WWE feuds in the late 90s, and now fans of today see the potential of that playing out again, this time with Becky vs Stephanie, and come to think it of it, would be way better than the feud between Ronda and Steph that has never really lifted itself off the ground, but let's see the opinions of everyone else.
WWE @WWE
"If you do not see the doctor, I'm going to have to suspend you." - @StephMcMahon #RAW

@BeckyLynchWWE:
Jim Ross @JRsBBQ
The women of @WWE seem to be owning #Raw again tonight.

@BeckyLynchWWE is traveling the Stone Cold Road. 

@RondaRousey is a female, Lesnar. 

@StephMcMahon is a fantastic villain. 

Great start....#maximizingminures
WWE @WWE_NEWS_NBC
Spot the difference 😏 

#RAW
Get The Tables @GetDaTables
If we don’t see Becky Lynch come to the ring in a vehicle & attack Stephanie McMahon  then it’s not a true Austin & Vince feud. 

#WWE #RAW
Barlow @barlow42180
If Becky is Stone Cold, Ronda is Mike Tyson & WrestleMania is the match that we all wanted but never really got.
Jake @JakeIsntJacob
Personally, I can’t wait for the inevitable Stephanie McMahon VS. Becky Lynch feud #RAW
Adam @Adam_Lewis10
• Punches Stephanie on #Raw 
• Slaps Triple H on #SDLive 

If I were Shane or Vince...I’d stay away from Becky Lynch

The Man @BeckyLynchWWE
You see what’s happening here, right?

The Man @BeckyLynchWWE
Hey Steph, don’t forget to ask your husband how his day went in work. #idonttrustnoneofyou

Brett Gallman @brettgallman
Remember all the times they tried & failed to replicate Austin/McMahon? Becky Lynch and Stephanie may have just rekindled that kind of fire. I would be so down for this being the feud that gets us to WrestleMania.

D.J. Batchler @DJ_Batchler
McMahon/Austin set off an unprecedented swing in the late 90s that took wrestling to new heights. McMahon/Lynch could do something similar for a new audience. @StephMcMahon and @BeckyLynchWWE both have a the fire to carry this. This has a promising future after just 11 minutes.

DerekJ407 @BestHEELEver
So apparently we're going the Austin/McMahon route with Becky Lynch. Either it's to make her look even stronger or a cheap way of getting Charlotte inserted into the match at WrestleMania. Both seem unnecessary to me, but we'll see how this plays out #RAW

Wrestling News World @wnwnews
Becky Lynch and Stephanie McMahon was bringing flashbacks of Austin/McMahon for many. It can not be stated enough how great Becky is right now. #raw

Matt Maximilian Moody @MattMoody_M
Last night, she lays a punch to Stephanie, tonight, she slaps Triple H. Becky Lynch clearly doesn't give a damn about anybody or anyone. 

Hey, it's WrestleMania season. #SDLive
