ELIMINATION CHAMBER!

Apparently, on the post show, Nick Aldis announced that McIntyre has to defend the title against Cody on Friday at SmackDown. Which could lead to Cody vs Orton and maybe Fatu vs McIntyre at WM?

I honestly think that is where it is going, but I really hope it isn't. It just makes Drew's title reign look even worse now. He accomplished nothing in the reign, and it just happened to sway the audience that they would do a title change.

I don't know if anyone felt it, but that Men's Chamber was so bad imo. I would compare it to the cluster that was the IC Chamber match, where everything went wrong. I just think everything felt flat. The Rollins return was not good and just felt meh. The Drew run-in was so bad. Like, I guess story-wise he would want Cody to lose, but having him eat two finishers and just look like a dingbat is not the way I would have booked that. Also, what is up with Logan Paul eliminating 4 guys? We get it, the dude has followers on social media, but my goodness, they are treating him like he is the second coming of Shawn Michaels.

Orton winning basically means it's going to be against Cody, but I mean, do we really want to see Orton vs Cody? Not like Orton vs Drew is any better since they ran that into the ground during COVID. I just think the WWE Title has been poorly handled since Cody won the title. It's like they don't really have a plan. 

I really enjoyed the Punk/Balor match for what it was. We knew the result, but I thought the match was very good. Which just further shows Punk needs to go over Roman at Mania, but everybody knows that isn't happening, and we will just get another part-time champion holding the belt that won't be defended till probably SummerSlam, or some throwaway show overseas. 

People are shitting all over the Danhausen debut, but I absolutely LOVED it! Danhausen is a good dude. I have met him and interacted on social media with him before AEW, and during his AEW run. I have nothing but high praise for him. I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine, but people comparing him to the Gooker would be the same ones who would shit all over The Undertaker if he debuted today. I just take it with a grain of salt and wish the dude the very best, cause in a business where guys are mostly assholes. He is a good dude.

Because that was supposed to be Bronson in that spot before he got hurt. The storyline of the match required a Vision guy in there, so Logan got put in.

They should have just pivoted then. Cause Logan eliminating four people didn’t work at all. The crowd was dead silent no heat. No nothing. Just silence. When Reed got hurt and Uso won cause of it. Why not just have a back and forth chamber match then? Why stick with the vision eliminating four guys for Rollins to comeback to a meh reaction. 

Why that creative team can’t pivot is just wild to me.

I think part of that is some kind of communal PTSD from years of Vince changing his mind at the last minute.

That's fair. lol

I do find it funny that they didn't even consider putting Jey in that Chamber. Just wrote him instantly off.

I think (hope) they have finally pulled the pin on the Jey Uso singles push/experiment. He’s popular as hell, and the kids love him, but once the bell rings? Yikes.

I don’t know how you can literally grow up in the business, be surrounded by family members in the business, have a 18 year career…and despite all that, STILL not be able to throw a halfway decent looking working punch. Plus that dude is just so damn sloppy and all over the place. Jey Uso can move all the merch in the world and fans can Yeet until the cows come home, but he just don’t wrestle so good.

They could have redone the eliminations with Logan in there instead of Bronson (as stated it didn't make sense for him to have a run like that), and still have Seth come out to fuck him as he did. You'd think with all the producers they have that one of them would have been able to come up with something.
