Elimination Chamber.


Goldberg versus Roman was pretty much a 5 minutes thing. With Reigns choking Bill out in the end.

Woman's elimination chamber - Liv Morgan vs Doudrop, vs Rhea Ripley, vs Bianca Belair vs Alexa Bliss

Honestly, I really want to see Liv continue her strong push. She's probably the most improved wrestler in the country. I doubt it will go my way, with Bianca literally needing a win to stay relevant. But Alexa is the X factor here.

Alexa got a huge pop when she came down the ramp.

Rhea Ripley quickly eliminates Nicky ASH.

Alexa comes in gets another massive pop. She does look rusty, nice hurricarana, but a bit of a sloppy drop kick. Doudrop eliminated by Liv who now has a "Knee injury"

Bianca comes in last.

Liv eliminated by Bliss. Belair eliminates Rhea. Down to Bliss and Belair.


Belair and Bliss have a pretty nifty little sequence with roll up attempts. In the end Belair over comes Bliss to win.


Not bad for a match, but it felt limited. Bliss was clearly rusty as her execution of moves was a bit more sloppy then usual. I was hoping for a Liv win, but it feels like she's never going to get the Duke to championship status. A fun little match but not awesome.

Rousey must have one hand tied behind her back
Ronda Rousey and Naomi vs. Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville

This match was all about Rousey and Flair, but there was very little interaction between the two except for brief sequences. It made Rousey look strong as she kicked the crap out of Sonja with one hand tied behind her back. It was pretty much paint by numbers booking and my attention wandered until Rousey submitted DeVille who deserves better.

Falls Count Anywhere Match
Madcap Moss vs. Drew McIntyre


Don't care much about this match, Drew is pretty irrelevant and Moss sucks. Drew murders Corbin with his sword and decapitates Moss

**********/5

Actually it wasn't a bad physical match, a bit over booked with a lot of Corbin interference

***/5

Lita vs Becky Lynch

fantastic match, and Becky Lynch and Lita worked well together. It was nice to see Lita get all of her #### in. While Becky won neither woman looked week.



****/5


This felt like the last match for Lita as she got a standing O and saluted the fans at the end.


SmackDown Tag Team Titles Match: The Viking Raiders vs. The Usos

No match happened as the USO's assualt the Raiders on the ramp.

-5/5*

Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Title
Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins vs. Austin Theory vs. Riddle vs. AJ Styles vs. Bobby Lashley (c)

Strange booking as Bobby was eliminated before he got into the match due to a concussion. This cleared the way for the winner of the Elimination chamber to win the Championship. Overall a pretty good match with everyone getting in some nice spots. However business picked up when Lesnar got into the match kicking his way through the plexiglass and into the match. The final two competitors were Austin Theory and Lesnar. Which was a bit funny as Theory played the cowardly heel hitting a low blow from the bottom on the grand canyon which only pissed off Lesnar. Lets be honest we knew who was going to win this. The Elimination chamber was done to make Brock look like a killer and he did that. There were two neat spots that showed how much of a physical freak Lesnar was as Austin climbed the cage to escape through the ceiling and Lesnar climbed the cage in about a second. The other spot was Lesnar F5ing Theory off of the top of a pod. But it was a relatively easy squash match once Lesnar came in. But it was still a fun match, but we didn't get the anticipated Lashley Lesnar battle.


***/5 just because I felt we were robbed of something awesome.


Overall elimination chamber was a fun pay per view, with a lot of good action. But the booking calls. Eliminating Lashley, and poop canning the tag team title match makes you feel a little bit robbed.
