Seriously, that was ass. Forget Roman winning, what a boring match. How do you make elimination chamber boring!?

Even the one Ryback won was better than that match. At least that one was a trainwreck where even the cage itself was botching, this was just a miserable slog.

that's what my feeling is. I don't even care that Roman won, but the booking was just meh. Aside from a quick fury from Finn, the match was just Braun destroying people until he ate spears. REally only person who looked good was Braun

It's like WWE wants a Vader and they decided to feed him six Inokis at once.

It was like the Survivor Series match where you see it on paper and it's like "How can this not be awesome?" and then it's complete shit.

Some cool moments but if you’re going to have Braun eliminate everyone, you may as well let him eliminate Roman too. It’s not like you can’t figure out a way to shoehorn him back into the match within the next month or so.

You booked Braun as the dude who should legitimately beat Brock and then had Reigns win it to completely deflate the crowd so hard they had to MUTE THEM, and then you had Braun kill Roman to pop them again
What the hell was the point of ALL of that??

I'm not even mad that Roman won, that match was just bad.

I don't blame the dudes. So close to mania I guess they did not want to push themselves in this dumb match before getting their big payday.

It really felt like everyone going through the motions and just getting their spots in. Women's Chamber match was much better.
Mickie James entertained me more tonight than the men's chamber did.

Braun fought off 5 guys at once, but somehow couldn't beat Roman by himself.
Just eliminate the guy earlier on in the match if he's not going to win after that performance.

I feel like if they did everything they did and eliminated all the standing around they did it would've been better. Can't believe how slow that was.

Shit was so boriiing, and the fact that it was pretty much as long as the women's chamber was just painful.

You cannot really book Braun like that then have him lose to one guy. It hurt the finish, because it made people even less happy with the finish that no one wanted

Yeah, the Survivor Series match was another really bad example of that. In general whoever is laying out WWE's matches these days is just trash. Everything seems deliberately calculated to be as boring as possible.

Braun kills six dudes and stands tall as the show goes off the air.
But he didn't win.
f***in' company, dude...

Strowman was a moron really. Balor had Reigns totally beaten and then he randomly attacked Finn to eliminate him rather than waiting until after Reigns was toast. I thought they would at least have Reigns kick out of the powerslam just to make him that much more of a hero, but they didn't even do that. About mid way through I realized they were just having Braun crush everyone and then Reigns would slay the Goliath because it's Vince booking after all. Every conquering hero has to go through the giant. Never mind in this case the giant is far more over.
At this point just have Reigns be a transition champ. Beat Lesnar and then lose to Strowman at the next PPV.

If there is one thing WWE usually does really well it's a fast paced multi-man car wreck. Elias and Miz might not be machines, but you can cover those weaknesses up just fine and they can slow the match down for a spell during a rest period. Seth and Finn can bring the fast pace, the bulk of Roman's offense is pretty much made for this kind of match, Cena's a workhorse, and Braun looks best in clusterf***s. Somehow they had all the ingredients in place and managed to turn out something almost offensively bland.
