When we return, Ivar’s theme hits and out he comes accompanied by Valhalla. Michael Cole rants for a minute or two about Valhalla not wearing her trademark antlers for this important match Ivar is about to have. The bell sounds and off we go with this one.

Pat McAfee comes to life in this one, yelling “YEAH!” just as many annoying times as he and his crew do the “WHAT?!” routine from “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s past on his Pat McAfee Show, every time Knight does anything.

Ivar takes over as the action spills out to the floor, and with him standing tall over a beaten down Knight at ringside, we head to a mid-match commercial break with this high stakes singles showdown still in progress.

As we return from the break, we see Knight hit a big super-plex on Ivar off the top-rope for a super-close near fall attempt. Ivar fights back and hits a double-under-hook power bomb into a pin attempt for a close two count of his own. Valhalla freaks out that it’s not over.

Knight moves when Ivar charges at him in the corner. Ivar hurts his knee in the process and Knight capitalizes, taking over on offense and shifting the momentum back in his favor as the crowd comes to life in the background in the Rupp Arena.

Valhalla hops on the ring apron to distract Knight, which allows Ivar to catch him turning around with a big spin kick. Ivar heads to the top-rope to follow up. He goes for a big moonsault, but Knight gets out of the way and the big man crashes and burns. Knight follows up with BFT for the win.

Winner and QUALIFYING for Men’s Elimination Chamber: LA Knight

Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

It’s main event time!

We shoot backstage and see Sami Zayn in his ring gear walking the hallways, as he’s up next in our main event of the evening against Shinsuke Nakamura. As he continues to walk, he is stopped by Drew McIntyre, who delivers a strong message to him before Zayn simply responds, “You’re in my way.”

As Zayn walks past McIntyre and gets ready to head out to the ring, we cut to another quick pre-match commercial break. When we return, we see Adam Pearce talking to Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae when in comes Chelsea Green asking if she’s in the Last Chance Battle Royal for a spot in the Women’s Chamber match next week.

Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark walk in and also want a spot in the Last Chance Battle Royal for next week’s show. After this wraps up, Michael Cole and Pat McAfee run down the updated lineup for next week’s WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth “go-home” episode of Raw from Anaheim, California.

Now the theme for Shinsuke Nakamura hits and as the rock violins play, out comes the “King of Strong Style” for our final match of the evening. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. After some early back-and-forth action, we see Zayn standing tall in the ring while Nakamura is down on the floor.

On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break as our main event continues. When we return, Zayn is working over Nakamura in the ring. McAfee says during the break they were “beating the hell out of each other.” Nakamura starts to fight back and take over in the ring.

“The King of Strong Style” punishes Zayn for a couple of minutes but then the crowd rallies behind the Montreal native, who takes back over on offense. He knocks Nakamura out to the floor, hits the ropes to build up a full head of steam and then hits a running flip over the top-rope into a splash on Nakamura on the floor.

After that, we head into our second mid-match commercial break of the match. We return for our third match segment of the main event for this week’s Raw, and we see the crowd coming to life as Zayn fights back after being blasted with repeated kicks by Nakamura. Cole points out Nakamura beat Zayn down on the floor the entire time.

Nakamura sets Zayn up for the Kinshasa, but Zayn sees it coming and counters into a Blue Thunder Bomb for a close pin attempt on the Japanese legend. Zayn sets Nakamura up for the Helluva Kick, but Nakamura sees it coming and slides under the bottom rope out to the floor.

Zayn tries diving through the bottom ropes around the post onto Nakamura on the floor, but Nakamura sends him into the post. Back in the ring, Nakamura blasts Zayn with a knee to the back of the neck for a close pin attempt. Nakamura comes off the ropes with another double knees to the back of Zayn’s head/neck. He goes for the cover, but Zayn kicks out.

Shinsuke goes to pick up Sami, but he collapses right back down to the mat. Nakamura goes for another move, but Zayn sees it coming and blasts Nakamura with a super kick. This brings Zayn back to life. As “Ole! Ole!” chants break out from the Lexington crowd, Zayn unloads on Nakamura in the corner. He then hits an exploder on Nakamura in the corner.

Sami backs up to the opposing corner and gets ready for his Helluva Kick, until he spots Drew McIntyre running down to the ring from the back. He turns and stops McIntyre from getting physically involved, but the mere distraction causes Zayn to turn around into a Kinshasa from Nakamura, who pins him for the victory.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura

Cody Rhodes Makes The Save For Sami Zayn To End The Show

Once the match wraps up, McIntyre gets in the ring and along with Nakamura, puts the boots to an already beaten down and out Zayn. This continues until Cody Rhodes’ theme hits. “The American Nightmare” sprints down to the ring to a huge pop and takes out Nakamura and McIntyre with Cross-Rhodes and Disaster Kicks.

They retreat to the back and Cody stares them down from the ring as Michael Cole promotes Cody vs. Drew for next week’s Raw. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
