WWE Elimination Chamber Review
Folks, we just witnessed one of the wildest and most unpredictable pay-per-view events in recent memory. The Toyota Center in Houston, Texas played host to an absolute barnburner of a show that had something for everyone.
Let's start with the opener, a WWE Women's Tag Team Title Elimination Chamber match that was pure chaos from start to finish. The Boss 'N' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) emerged victorious, but not before we saw some incredible moments from teams like Carmella and Naomi, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, and even the Riott Squad. This match was all about the ladies delivering in a big way, and it set the tone for an evening that would be full of surprises.
Next up, The Usos put on a clinic to retain their SmackDown Tag Team Titles against Shane McMahon and The Miz. These four men are some of the best tag-team competitors out there, and they proved it with a high-flying, hard-hitting match that was over in just 14 minutes and 10 seconds.
But the real showstopper came next, as Finn Balor put on a masterclass performance to retain his Intercontinental Title against Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush. This two-on-one handicap match was supposed to be a formality for Lashley and Rush, but Balor had other ideas. He took down both men in quick succession, showing off his incredible strength and agility along the way.
Ronda Rousey made quick work of Ruby Riott in her RAW Women's Title defense, dispatching the challenger with ease in just 1 minute and 40 seconds. It was a dominant performance from the UFC Hall of Famer, but you can't help but feel like we're building towards something bigger for Riott in the future.
The real main event came next, as Baron Corbin took down Braun Strowman in a brutal No Disqualification match. These two giants went at it tooth and nail, trading blows and showing off their incredible strength along the way. In the end, Corbin emerged victorious, but you have to feel like Strowman is going to be seeking revenge for this loss.
And finally, we had the WWE Title Elimination Chamber match that will go down in history as one of the greatest matches of all time. Daniel Bryan outlasted AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, and Samoa Joe in a 36-minute and 40-second masterpiece that had us on the edge of our seats from start to finish. These six men gave it their all, leaving everything they had in the ring. In the end, Bryan emerged victorious, but we have to feel like Styles is going to be seeking revenge for this loss.
All in all, this was an incredible pay-per-view event that will be remembered for years to come. If you missed out on the action, do yourself a favor and go back and watch it. You won't regret it.
Final Score: 9/10
MVP of the Night: Daniel Bryan - his WWE Title Elimination Chamber match was pure magic, and he's going to be hard to beat for some time now.
Surprise of the Night: The Boss 'N' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles. This was a huge moment in women's wrestling history, and it sets up all sorts of possibilities for future matches and storylines.
Disappointment of the Night: Braun Strowman losing to Baron Corbin in the No Disqualification match. These two giants have the potential to be involved in some incredible feuds going forward, but this loss is a major setback for Strowman.
