Alexa Bliss retained the Raw women’s championship by last pinning Sasha Banks in the first ever women’s Elimination Chamber match at last night’s (Feb. 25, 2018) WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view (PPV) in Paradise, Nevada. At least according to the majority of respondents on the poll we put up here, it was the best match on the card.
That was in no small part to Bliss being willing to do this:

In an interview with ESPN after, she said she was terrified:
“I was quite terrified. I’m not going to lie. I’ve done the ‘Twisted Bliss’ off of Braun Strowman’s shoulders before, but that’s not nothing to be on top of an Elimination Chamber pod. There are big challenges with being in a match like this. You’re inside of this chamber that’s intimidating to begin with. There’s nothing appealing about the Elimination Chamber. When I first walked into it, I was terrified. You start out the match in these pods, and you’re just watching everyone go at it, waiting for your time.”
Let that be a lesson, folks: face your fears and you just might live forever.
