Roman Reigns won the men’s Elimination Chamber to earn a shot at the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34. Reigns will now face Brock Lesnar for the title in what will most likely be the main event of WrestleMania 34 in 6 weeks.
Braun Strowman dominated the Elimination Chamber match and eliminated 5 Superstars. Reigns was able to defeat Strowman by hitting two Spears in a row. After the match, Strowman hit Reigns with a couple of Running Powerslams before launching him through one of the plexiglass pods surrounding the ring.

Roman Reigns joined Renee Young and Peter Rosenberg on RAW Talk following the Elimination Chamber PPV. Roman admitted that he was in pain but was excited after his big victory tonight.
Reigns noted that this was his first Elimination Chamber match and how unforgiving the match was. Rosenberg asked Roman if he gets frustrated with having to deal with Braun Strowman all the time. Reigns stated that it was almost like The Joker and Batman, they are destined to fight forever.
Roman brought up main eventing three Wrestlemanias in a row and said that the experience will be very valuable heading into the Universal Championship match. Roman noted that he faced Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 but didn’t get closure because Seth Rollins cashed in his MITB contract.
Reigns challenged Brock Lesnar to show up to his yard tomorrow night on RAW. Renee asked if Roman if he was worried about Paul Heyman at all and Reigns laughed and said “what is he going to do, give me a Twinkie?”. Roman vowed to take the Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34.
Brock Lesnar will be on RAW tomorrow night to confront Roman Reigns as the build towards WrestleMania 34 continues.
