WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) vs. Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell
About a day prior, WWE added a kickoff match. Typically, this means WWE mapped-out the card and they had some time left.
It was nice of WWE to put a title on the line during the kickoff. Of course, it was the jinxed Women’s Tag Team Championships.
My favorite part was the welcoming Indi Hartwell got from the fans. The Kabuki Warriors walking away still champions was not a major surprise in a basic match. Grade: B
Men’s Elimination Chamber Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton vs. Bobby Lashley vs. LA Knight vs. Kevin Owens vs. Logan Paul
All six entrants make for a great WrestleMania 40 opponent for Seth Rollins. Although, I have to note how the wrestlers spent too much engaging with those still in pods.
Since we do not get too many Elimination Chamber matches, it it tough to have a bad one. Although, I wish their was more brutality like the women’s match.
We all knew Randy Orton (who was was hopefully just selling a bad back) or Drew McIntyre would leave with a guaranteed title shot. McIntyre and Seth Rollins have been trading words, so the predication was not difficult. Grade: B+
Women’s World Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax
Never would have I guessed Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax would close Elimination Chamber. It might have something to do with Rhea being from Australia.
Still, the match had a great storyline heading into the pay per view. Basically, both are built at the top the women’s food chain and showcased their power.
Rhea Ripley winning sent the crowd home happy and it was different seeing her act like a face. We all knew Rhea vs. Becky Lynch was likely, dating back a full year ago. Grade: B+
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: The Judgment Day vs. Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate
Before the bell rang, Dominik Mysterio had so much heat you could not hear a word he said. He has such a bright future and hopefully gets a massive spot at WrestleMania 40.
Personally, I did not think the match would be this good. Everyone involved is talented, but usually WWE rushes things.
Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate make for a great team because of their past in NXT UK. Fantastic match and I felt like anyone could have left the victor. Grade: A-
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match: Liv Morgn vs. Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Naomi vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Based off some early online reactions, fans were not interested in this match. I have zero clue as everyone looked stellar inside the Chamber.
Liv Morgan and Tiffany Stratton, who was very over, easily stole the match with their wild spots. Almost all of these women make a great choice to earn a title shot at WrestleMania 40.
All three of the final entrants deserved the win. Becky Lynch won, but that should be no surprise considering she teased a Rhea Ripley match during the WrestleMania Presser. Grade: A-
WWE went all the way to Australia for the Elimination Chamber 2024, so was the trip worth it?
