Wow! What can I say? This was the BEST PPV thus far of the year! The bar has been set high now. Have to see what “Fastlane” does to follow up on it. That being said, I thought, both Elimination Chamber matches were awesome. We got NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions in Bayley and Sasha Banks. A NEW Intercontinental Champion in Finn Balor. NEW Smackdown Tag Team Champions in The Usos. The BEST match was the main event. The Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. The whole world was routing for Kofi to win it. I think even the announcers were as well. Its a shame that Kofi fell short. However, its a long year and, I think Kofi deserves another shot. I think Kofi deserves to be WWE Champion. If it were up to me, he would be. Right now! But, its not my call. I just hope that it won’t be another 11 years before he gets another chance.
Shame we didn’t get a Smackdown Women’s Championship defense, or a United States Championship defense. Of course, the Universal Championship won’t be defended until “Wrestlemania”. Which is not right. But, whatever. Let’s not forget about Becky Lynch. What will be the ramifications of her actions tonight? Is it setting up for the rumoured triple threat match for the Raw Women’s Championship at “Wrestlemania”? And, what about the team of Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley? They took out a monster. Granted it took all three of them to do it. The setup for “Fastlane” better be good. Speaking of “Fastlane”, that is the final stop before “Wrestlemania”, from Cleaveland, Ohio, on March 1oth. See you all then!
