The Natural Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) For the past two years, the Men's Elimination Chamber participants wrestle a Gauntlet match with Seth Rollins going an hour in 2018 on RAW and Kofi Kingston last year on Smackdown Live. I REALLY, REALLY want Daniel Bryan to be the third. 60 minutes and over for Daniel Bryan please and thank you.

Go2Sleep Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I really hope we're in the universe where we get Bryan vs. Goldberg at Mania. It also occurred to me that if they wanted to undo the last 2 years of wasting Braun Strowman, they could rehab him in one night by having him no-sell and squash the Fiend at Mania. Well down the list of possibilities is "Roman's big moment 3: The least hostile reaction yet" but I think my wishlist is inverted with real-life probability.

RIPPA Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I will note this again but Meltzer said he was told that the names in the Men's match won't actually be the ones in the match. Basically marketing just picked names from SDL since they needed to start marketing. The only one who is certain to be in the match is Reigns. This is the blurb Quote As of right now, the plans for the 3/8 Elimination Chamber PPV will be Reigns, Corbin, Bryan, Strowman, Nakamura and Roode in a Chamber match with the winner getting a shot at Wyatt at WrestleMania. Those names may change and probably will. We were told that the ad has placeholders in the sense Reigns is probably a lock but they haven’t decided on the others and was told there is a solid chance some of these names will change. They were just looking to advertise a men’s chamber match for a title shot locally in Philadelphia to move tickets. Right now Reigns would be the scheduled winner since Wyatt vs. Reigns has been earmarked for the match but again, nothing happens until it happens I mean based on just the roster - I think Corbin is a lock too but who the fuck knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Reigns, Corbin, and Bryan are pretty much locks barring injuries. Its the other three who are questionable. Like I have trouble not seeing Sheamus in this match with how strong they have kept him since his return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 On the Bump today they had Sheamus challenging Braun for the IC title - since Sheamus is using the motivation its the only thing he hasn't won So either Sheamus/Braun will be a match on this show or they will use this show to set up them at Mania 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 As I suspected Sheamus is in the Elimination Chamber. Also looks like the women of Smackdown are getting one as well with Lacey talking about it in an interview with Renee on tonight's Smackdown.

RIPPA Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So they announced a Chamber match for the SDL Tag Titles So we are officially at three and that isn't counting the possibility of the Women's SDL Title (though I feel like that one was dropped) Still we are at 3 Chamber matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Well, though they haven't officially cancelled the SDL men's #1 contender match, it's probably off completely since they announced Goldberg-Reigns for the title is officially on at Mania.

paintedbynumbers Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 there needs to be one for the guys and the SDL contender one will probably be tossed out. Make it one for the IC or US title and there we go. I could see Garza, Humberto, Andrade, Rey, and AJ in a chamber match being fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) So far there are only two chamber matches, the Raw women's and SD men's tags. Edited March 2, 2020 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yeah there were promos for Lacey and Sheamus talking about entering the Chamber two weeks ago, but plans clearly changed when they announced the tag titles match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Running the chamber match in the run up to WM always seems dumb. It's expensive to run it anyway and the booking around it kinda stinks. This also fits in with me wishing WWE would only run these matches when it makes sense and go back to PPV names like No Mercy or Backlash. I love the EC match, but I'd rather see it used when it makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A month out from WrestleMania and this company has no clue what they want to do. I'm fine with just announcing Reigns vs. Goldberg (even though it kills the Royal Rumble) because the men's match would have just been Reigns vs. a bunch of dudes who aren't Roman Reigns. I'm looking forward to Asuka vs. Shayna but I'd prefer if that were just a one on one match because again on TV they completely telegraphed that Shayna has zero chance of losing her chamber match.

I love the EC match, but I'd rather see it used when it makes sense. The only gimmick ppvs I'm fine with are Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, & MITB. Always hated when they flat out named the ppvs after matches and made it obvious as hell what was coming. With Elimination Chamber I'm semi-mixed. They introduced a decent enough idea of it being a decider for the other brand's no. 1 contender, but it feels like way too brutal and personal a match type to use for that. I'd rather they just use a small tournament or normal multi-person match. Honestly, this is probably where KOTR should be used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte & Sasha kind of ran a gambit of firsts in just to have them. Becky/Sasha did come close, but the very fact that we knew a ppv called HIAC was coming screwed with the organic feel. That is what makes the whole thing annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 If I was in change of the schedule, the pre mania sunday special would be fast lane, and after would be backlash. Hell in a cell and the elimination chamber get relegated to being used as they were intended. King of the Ring comes back in the lead up to night of champions which is used as the "season opener" ppv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
