Smackdown only Mania-setup show

  • Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE World Championship - John Cena (c) vs AJ Styles vs Bray Wyatt vs Baron Corbin vs The Miz vs Dean Ambrose (IC Champ)
  • Turmoil Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship - American Alpha (c) vs The Usos vs The Ascension vs The Vaudevillians vs Heath Slater/Rhyno vs The Fashion Police
  • For the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship - Alexa Bliss (c) vs Naomi
  • Nikki Bella vs Natalya
  • (probable) Dolph Ziggler vs Apollo Crews

And unless they give Mojo Rawley or Kalisto a match, or Shelton Benjamin makes a return, I think that's everyone on the roster.

Jack Swagger is still locked in a storage closet somewhere.

So if they add Becky vs Mickie which I think they will they're gonna have 3 women's matches on the main card of a PPV. Pretty rad. Orton vs Harper I think is going to be added, if anything to set up the double cross after Bray wins the EC and the WWE Championship. If Rowen is healthly I could see him coming back at Elimination Chamber and helping Harper beat down Orton after their match. Then after the EC you get the stare down betwwen Bray and Orton and Harper and Rowen with Wyatt turning on Orton with the three way beat down turning Orton face and setting up the Mania match. Oh yeah Ziggler vs crews on the pre show. Or we get some kind of Carmella-Ellsworth in ring promo on the pre show with Carmella issuing an open challenge for Ellsworth, Kane comes out chokeslams Ellsworh, 123 and then Carmella yells at Ellsworth for losing.

Hmm I'm forgetting all of that.

The EC 2015 show where they turned a house show into a Network Special at almost the last minute

Had the IC EC match (the Ryback won) and the Tag Title EC match (where New Day retained)

Same show that had the first KO/Cena match

So I'm figuring the order of eliminations are:

Miz submits to Cena

Cena pinned by Styles (Styles holds tights)

Styles pinned by Corbin immediately after pinning Cena.

Ambrose pinned by Corbin

Corbin pinned by Wyatt after Orton gets in Chamber and RKO's Corbin.

Why am I more stoked for the women's matches on this card than the men's?  Naomi probably won't beat Alexa, but it's the start of a good title feud.

The Nattie / Nikki feud build-up has been a tad overbooked lately with the hatred and constant pull apart brawls, but I still expect them to beat the shit out of each other and have a good match.

God, that Tag Team Turmoil match is made of so much bullshit.  Like half of the field are in either fucking doghouse or have been jobbed to oblivion and have no chance of getting booked to win the belts. 

No one sane would take a DVDVR Lose Your Board Tag Bet on the Vaudevillains to win it all.

Well, the tag title match will probably generate negative heat.

I expect the Elimination Chamber match to be decent to good, but I also expect the spoilers Meltzer has leaked regarding it to be what actually happens.  Orton probably wouldn't have won the Rumble otherwise,  If Meltzer is right and there's no last minute swerve, I have zero interest in the outcome or the match that sets up.

As far as Dolph goes, he just turned heel and seems to be poised to get a stronger push.  He's also been rumored as a possible WM opponent for Cena.  He's probably not jobbing to Crews this close to the heel turn.

Yeah, I'm much more interested in the women's matches.  Card on the whole looks meh to me.

I guess people aren't expecting Revival to debut in the tag team match?

I'm guessing they get the post-Mania episode debut.  Though provided AA win the EC match (and there's no reason they shouldn't) then Revival showing up at the next episode of Smackdown to set up a Mania match would be the best possible outcome for all involved.

As good as Smackdown is these days, the tag division is utterly dire.  American Alpha are one of the best main roster tag teams in years, but they're just languishing there.  It seemed like they were set to win the tournament for the inaugural titles but Heath Slater and Rhyno surprisingly getting over derailed that.  Then a feud with The Usos was on the horizon but got derailed by injuries.  Now they won the belts, but it wasn't as climactic as it could have been and there's no legit competition.  The Vaudevillians and The Ascension are jobbers who are all probably a hair away from getting future endeavored, Breezango are pretty much comedy jobbers, AA have beaten The Usos so many times they're no longer credible opponents, and Slater and Rhyno are rapidly loosing steam.
