Montez has to beat Elias in that qualifier. He could go crazy in the chamber.
I wouldn't be shocked if the Street Profits split soon. I'm not sure what else they can do as a team and people have been talking about a Montez solo push for a year or two now. Maybe Montez winning and Dawkins losing next week will be the start of it.

Wonder why the split got put on hold. Commentary were actively teasing it as far back as Summerslam but mentions stopped abruptly.

I know the easy thing to do if they split is to have Dawkins turn on Montez due to being jealous of the attention he gets compared to him but I think it might work better with Tez being the one. I think he has a great egotistical heel run in him and Dawkins has improved a lot in the ring the past couple of years, I think he could pull off being the sympathetic babyface in any feud they have.

Yeah, they’re all good shouts. I’m kinda of the belief it’s not going to be too crucial how they get there but the key is to get Ford up and running. Dude has star quality out the wazoo and can’t be left spinning his wheels forever.

Yeah, I would be shocked if anyone but Asuka wins the Women's Chamber. She outpopped even Cody at the Rumble. And Liv is probably going to end up in the tag title mix at Mania. Raquel can win the battle royal or something because she's never going to get over enough to be a face of the company at this point. Especially since she was one of the major focal points when it came to pushing the Royal Rumble and she was even less over than Roxanne Perez was in the Rumble. The only wildcard is if they will try to shove Ronda into the Chamber, which I hope not, because that would be a giant middle finger to the rest of the women, especially if she wins it.
It's also hard to imagine Asuka not having a major match at Mania, and I doubt she's going to get wrangled into the Damage CTRL/Becky stuff either.

I mean, it sounds great on paper but have a hard time imagining Lesnar being game for a Gunter-style banger. Damn it I just finished the rest of listening to big Daddy Dave Meltzer and he said he’s been told Lesnar/Gunther won’t be happening at ‘Mania but doesn’t rule it out happening at EC. I can see lesnar challenging Gunther on Friday this week for the IC title at the chamber, and hurt business costs lesnar the match solidifying lashley as a heel again and finishing off the feud at mania in a gimmick match if some sort.

Why have a brand split or two womens titles if you’re putting Smackdown stars in this? The Raw star chose the Smackdown champion to face at Mania so it makes sense that some Smackdown stars get a chance in the Chamber.

Asuka vs. Liv as the final two will be epic. I just don't see Liv coming up short again. I refuse to give up!

Why have a brand split or two womens titles if you’re putting Smackdown stars in this? The brand split is almost non-existent at this point so they should just get rid of it honestly. It’s the “having your cake and eating it” BS the roster splits always ended up relegating to. I just don’t think they can afford to keep it one roster with the amount of talent they have but eh..it’ll be interesting to see what happens when a draft pops up under HHH.

I hope both street prophets guys get in. Angelo has improved so much and deserves a shot.

I can see Montez having a huge showing in the chamber, maybe even final two.

The men’s Chamber shows that they actually have a pretty solid core of a US Championship division right there already, it’s just been forgotten about because the belt has been busy work for main eventers like Rollins and Lashley for the last year or so because of Reigns holding both world titles. Guys like Theory, Gargano, Reed, Ford, Dawkins, Priest, Elias… That’s a handy midcard, and there’s others like Ali, Gable, Otis, Corbin, Alexander, Benjamin and Boogs that would fit in well too.

But I’d think DP has to be a shoe-in. If both Street Profits guys get in, awesome, cause I’m all aboard the “you need to start doing something different with these guys” mentality.

I wish I could see whatever it is everyone else sees in Ford because from where I'm sitting really all I've ever seen is someone who has an incredibly irritating character and, while he's definitely got some hops, seems to give no shits whatsoever about protecting his opponents in doing so and they don't translate to actually putting on matches that are at all remarkable. Can't really claim to at all care about Dawkins either but if I had to pick one of them I'm higher on it's him just because at least with him there isn't the constant fear he's going to cripple someone.

I know Sami vs. Roman is all but a lock, but I’m curious how they set that match up.
