I have been thinking today. How are they going to hype this and MITB within two weeks of eachother is beyond me
One is a returning popular gimmick, containing the first ever version of it in tag form and a vacated title up for grabs, no doubt filled with a handful of stand out upper midcard guys, all looking to make a statement and create memorable spots and moments.
The other has become one of the biggest and most consistent in quality PPVs of the year, quickly rising up the ranks of other PPVs in importance, significance, balls to the wall action and in ring quality
And this is the WWE we are talking about. To get a good build out of anything not called Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania is a miracle. I love everything that is going on at the moment with these added special PPV shows like KOTR and EC returning, but they should have spread them out a bit. At the very least there should have been at least a couple of months between KOTR and now this return of the EC (nevermind balancing normal PPVs in the middle)

Since the World Heavyweight Championship no longer exists, and the WWE title is not likely to be vacant this time around, this will possibly be the first iteration of the event that only has one Ladder match. It will be interesting to see how they fill the void in the card this year.

Two PPVs in one month...messing with my 'hey, where am I posting' instincts. Darn it.

Man, lots of Chamber rookies in that tag title match... Only Cesaro and Kofi have been in one.

I'm somewhat surprised Harper and Rowan aren't in the chamber. I know they just got back together but they've largely been higher profile than say Los Matadores.

Also, I believe this is the first time that neither chamber match has featured a previous winner.
