10 WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 Impulse Reactions

4. The Power Of Three

Ronda Rousey wasn't getting paid by the hour at Elimination Chamber, with Ruby Riott reduced to cannon fodder by the 'Baddest Woman On The Planet' ahead of a face-off with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch after the fact.

The trio were back at it again thanks to an unannounced appearance from 'The Man' hobbling from the crowd in direct protest of her 60-day suspension to smash the sh*t out of the two women that have stolen "her" 'Show Of Shows' main event.

The segment did much to rehat Becky after her ego-bruising apology on Monday Night Raw, but the company may now be well-served to give the women a break lest their repeated clashes dilute what should be a stupendous WrestleMania headliner. Honouring Lynch's suspension on television doesn't mean she can't appear for the live crowd, whilst Charlotte and Ronda's brand separation should aid bookers in keeping them at arm's length until Fastlane at the earliest.

With Sasha and Bayley's win earlier and this scuffle generating one of the biggest reactions of the night, things were looking good for Raw's upper echelon. Remember when Braun Strowman used to be part of that?
