Bayley/Sasha were good. Sonya/Mandy were good. Naomi was pretty good tonight too. Even that Viking chick was alright. Everybody else ESPECIALLY the Iconics were useless.

The IIconics killed it in that match. Their character work was spot on
Every woman did their job in that match

I’m glad this turned out well I had my fears I’ll have to give it a watch.Hopefully they don’t go back to a bunch of these women disappearing from tv for weeks at a time only to return to get destroyed by the main women in 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 situations.

Its amazing how often fans are going into historic women's matches/events with low expectations then having them blown away. Happened for the Rumble, happened for Evolution, etc: That division has completely earned the right to main event Mania, that's for sure.

The IIconics would be best served down under. And I don’t mean Australia

Honestly, I think that is exactly what a tag team Elimination Chamber should be. Every team working like a team. All the tandem manuevers all the smart storytelling, all of it. Nia knocked herself out? The remaining teams gang up on Tamina and take out the biggest threat. Brilliant. The Iconics doing their double pin on Naomi? Fantastic. I thought every team shined at each point, even the ones that have seemed like jobbers for a while. Everyone was looking legit in there and I'd say the order they brought the teams in was perfect as well. I also loved that the final four were people who were in last year's Elimination chamber. It made sense that the experience would pay off there.
This match hit all the right notes and nearly all of the teams (minus maybe Tamina/Nia) brought their best tonight.

I give Tamina and Nia credit, too, moreso Nia. I think they brought a fun dynamic to things, and Nia really didn't half-ass her big spot. Definitely one of the best spots of the match.

I guess I'm not as high on the match as most. I thought the match was very very good, especially once Nia/Tamina made it in. Before that there were too many little botches and sloppiness. That Liv/Sonya solo exchange wasn't good and some of the Iiconics stuff was weak. Overall, damn good story and the right team won.

Happened for the Rumble, happened for Evolution, etc: That division has completely earned the right to main event Mania, that's for sure. I think it's still because before the first woman rumble all those HISTORIC matches ended up being heatless whatever matches. Most of the time designed to put Charlotte and Sasha over

I couldn't believe how good this match was considering Sasha and Bayley are the only two I would consider to be good workers although Mandy and Sonya are definitely well on their way. Perfect example of what a difference good booking and hard work can make even if the talent is lacking a bit. IIconics, Riott Squad, and Mandy/Sonya all stepped up big time and really outshined the more established and pushed stars in the match (Sasha, Bayley, Nia, Tamina, Carmella, Naomi). You could tell that they all knew this was a big opportunity for them and they all delivered.
The IIconics especially really surprised me as they've been pretty dreadful for the most part in ring since they've been called up. They were a lot more crisp then usual, actually came off as a serious threat with how vicious they were, and all the while were still super funny and entertaining with some of their antics. I agree with a lot of the others in this thread that they were the MVP's. I also agree that Peyton looked even hotter with her new hair style.

Most of the time designed to put Charlotte and Sasha over Yeah, as good as their matches were I rolled my eyes a lot of the time during the Charlotte vs. Sasha feud because of how forced all of the "HISTORIC!" shit was. The Becky/Charlotte feud was what made me think they really have something here because they actually made the SD Women's Championship the most important belt on either Raw or SD.

Loved it.
Actually, for the combined big match experience, possibly the most impressive Chamber match to date? Loved the Iconics double pin, Tamina and Nia Jax looking like motivated killers, the Riott Squad looking credible, and Rose/Deville really impressed. And the right team won.

It was a lot of fun, and the women all got to show a lot more than they often get to show. I liked Mandy and Sonya being badasses, I liked the Iiconics actually getting to do some real wrestling as well as the comedy, and I liked Carmella and Naomi looking and acting like a real tag team.
I'll tell you who I really like, though - Liv Morgan. She's such a vivid character, and bumps like hell to make people look good. But I also really like how thrilled she always looks to be out there.
Something I really appreciate is that they're all getting matching gear, to sell the importance of these tag titles - Mandy and Sonya, Carmella and Naomi, obviously Bayley and Sasha.

About a million, billion times better than last month's women's Royal Rumble.
