I really enjoyed Elimination Chamber. Every match was great on its own. However, here is criticism because it's becoming a trend.

  • Match results were too predictable.
  • Why does a four hour PLE only have four matches and a talk show? (1/?)

The matches themselves were great, but they're not made that much better by having long entrances for each wrestler. Should it be longer than regular TV? Sure. But not so long that if you add up all the entrances you could squeeze in another match. And then I know match time was traded for showing ads. If I remember correctly we barely used to see ads on PLEs and now they're common filler. (2/6)

In general there is so much filler and none of it adds to the awesomeness that you could have instead by giving us more matches. Imagine paying WrestleMania ticket prices for four matches? (3/6)

ArnoldBooker OP ,

While the matches themselves were great, they all had strong favorites to win. We knew the likeliest winners were Becky, Judgement Day, Drew, and Rhea. I'm not upset with the victors, but you could at least try to make it ambiguous rather than promoting these guys' WrestleMania matches before Elimination Chamber (Becky vs Rhea or Drew vs Seth). (4/6)

If you push other wrestlers to also be feuding with the champs at the same time then it's less predictable. Imagine if LA Knight and Randy Orton also got some words in to Seth? Then it would have been less clear who will win. (5/6)

For now I give this PLE a B. It was good and I don't want to downplay the wrestling, but I don't like the trend WWE is going down. I think this kind of thing is valid criticism that can push people to watch other promotions as well. It doesn't feel like the WrestleMania matches are predictable at least, so that works in the favor of this event. With as many wrestlers as they have, please don't show me eight matches across two nights... (6/6)

KO stood outside Logan's pod and attacked him immediately as it opened! Jumping into the pod with him!

OMG, a BRUTAL clothesline from KO to Logan Paul. As he celebrates, Bobby Lashley grabs him and throws him into the pod!

Then he turns around and spears Logan through another pod!!!

Styles Clash on the chair! McIntyre takes advantage and covers LA Knight, eliminating him.

Drew goes for the Claymore on KO, he reverses into the popup powerbomb! Then he immediately hits a stunner on Logan Paul!

Orton comes out of nowhere with the RKO and pins KO! He's out of there!!! Logan Paul, Randy Orton, and Logan Paul remain!

@wwe

Logan Paul goes to the turnbuckle but Orton shakes the ropes. Logan lands on his sweet spot, leaving him stunned! Orton goes for the suplex but McIntyre attacks him from behind.

This allows Logan Paul time to scale a pod out of view!! Then he jumps off the pod onto Drew!!! All 3 men are down!!!

RKO OUTTA NOWHERE ON LOGAN PAUL! Randy goes for the cover and Logan is eliminated!

Logan comes out of nowhere and hits Orton with brass knuckles!

McIntyre capitalizes, pinning Orton!

Paul "Triple H" Levesque comes out to thank the crowd and announce the attendance number of 52,590 (I think). Which is damn good!

Surely they won't have Rhea lose in her own country...😬

@wwe

It's been a VERY physical match, but I expected nothing less from these two POWERHOUSES!!

@wwe

18+ BeAware OP ,
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

OMG Rhea ripped the covering off of the announce table and goes for a powerbomb but Nia reverses onto the table!!! She then gets on the top and elbow drops Rhea on top of the table.

Nia brings Rhea in the ring and does a Samoan drop but it's not enough to beat the champ!

@wwe

18+ BeAware OP , (edited )
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

Rhea puts Nia on the top rope and pulls off a superplex. Then a kick to the face of Nia followed by a Riptide! Rhea pins Nia to retain!!!

That'll do it for today's WWE Elimination Chamber PLE Coverage! Thanks for following along!🙏
