• Roman Reigns def. Bray Wyatt to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match  (Analysis: Good match to start the show off with, also giving Roman mic time is not something we get to see from the big dog all that often so it was nice)

• Finn Bálor & Karl Anderson def. The Revival  (Analysis: I just want to know whats next for Fin; hes in the big fatal four way next week to get the final spot in the Chamber, also I Thought The Revival was on hot winning streak?

• Cedric Alexander & Mustafa Ali def. Drew Gulak & Tony Nese (Analysis: No one cared)

• Asuka def. Bayley(Analysis: Really solid match Asuka is definitely  the best thing going in the women’s division in all of WWE , but it is very curious the WWE has her look really strong over top stars like Sasha Banks and Bayley. Hopefully there is a heel turn for Sasha really soon)

• Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Apollo Crews to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match (Analysis: Surprisingly a real good match; there is potential in Apollo just has to be given more of a chance in my onion. 

• Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus def. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns via Disqualification (Analysis: Good match pushes the forward story, Jason Jordan character is really good now.)

• Nia Jax def. Vanessa Floyd  (Analysis: Nia was really over, guess her skits with Enzo really helped)

• Mickie James def. Sonya Deville  (Analysis: After match was slightly intriguing)

• Elias def. John Cena and Braun Strowman to earn the No. 6 entry position in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match  (Analysis: Seems unfair that only 3 of the 6 men qualify for this stipulation, but such as life good match Cena has gotten more sloppy, Elias is more over than he should be, Braun still is a Star)

Migos and its follow-up to 2017’s Culture — the aptly titled Culture II — has dominated the Billboard 200 chart for the week ending February 1. Following closely behind is Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic, which saw a huge boost in sales after the Honolulu-born pop/R&B singer walked away with six Grammy Awards last Sunday (January 28).

Migos released its highly anticipated album Culture II last Friday (January 26) and the project has entered the Billboard 200 chart at #1. Boasting 199,467 total album equivalent units sold (38,486 in pure sales and a streaming count of 224,593,278), the 24-song project marks the Atlanta trio’s second #1 debut.

The original Culture debuted at #1 in 2017 with 131,193 equivalent album sales and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards.

Offset, Takeoff and Quavo recently announced they’ll be the musical guests on the March 3 episode of Saturday Night Live where they will join host Charles Barkley.

(Analysis: I am not a fan of these men at all, but you cant hate on the limted amount of sucess they have reached in a short time)
