I'm... very torn. Both Elimination Chamber matches were great as was the Becky segment but the rest... God, that was rough. Especially Corbin / Strowman.

It was like an episode of Smackdown in 2019 where the few things they cared about were done really well but the rest of the show was so puzzling that you can’t fully endorse it.
7.

Bad points -

That show was like a mediocre sandwich with the most delicious slices of bread on the top and bottom.

If it was a sandwich, this PPV would have been a kick ass pickle spear before eating the sandwich, the best bread you've had in your life on both top and bottom of the sandwich, but then in the middle you have pimiento loaf and you question why sandwiches ever had to exist in the first place. But also there is a bit of chipotle mayo in the middle that gives you hope and excitement for the future.
So a 7 basically. Cause shit that bread was good.

8. Women’s chamber was surprisingly good, Miz and Shane losing was great even if the match was eh, same for Finn winning the IC Title. Corbin/Braun sucked but at least it was a quick cluster****, and the men’s chamber was excellent but was dragged down by how utterly deflating that ending was.
I have absolutely zero faith in 2019 WWE to successfully capitalize on yet another instance of a guy “looking good in defeat.” They had the perfect opportunity to make a new main event star, and yet they decide to kick the can down the road and keep the belt on Bryan, who for someone with “great heel work” inspired utter apathy when he won.
So yeah. Good show but the ending was such a kick in the balls.

Very enjoyable. They went with the right and easy result with the Women's tag match, but they didn't do what I feared and book NIa and Tamina like Braun last year. They did a great job with how Kofi was booked and honestly I feel like this show was used more as a trail run for a few people getting stronger looks (Most of the women, Kofi, ect)

Both Chamber matches were just flat out incredible as was Becky beating the shit out of Charlotte and Ronda. I fast forwarded through everything else.

Bookended by incredible Chamber matches. Good Ronda/Charlotte/Becky segment. Preshow match was hella good.
Everything else was bleh. But it left me excited as hell and I dunno the last time WWE made me feel that. So I'll go 7 for quality with a bonus point for my mood. 8.

I'm ruminating on what to rate it, but it felt like stuff happened that was actually important, so, above and beyond the call of duty for a show between the Rumble and Mania. Plus, a title on Bayley again, so, woot.

I'll admit I actually only watched the chamber matches and the Becky stuff (featuring Ronda, Charlotte and a cameo by Ruby Riott). I would have watched the Cruisweight match but I was getting groceries. Both chamber matches were great, I will say that the women's chamber match is exactly what I would want a tag chamber match to be. Everyone got a moment to shine, the order of entrances was pretty much perfect, the stories were excellent and flowed together. Even Nia and Tamina did their part. I appreciated that the final four were the only ones who had been in the chamber last year. They really should have played that up on commentary. In general I've been feeling good about the women but that match convinced me to make a thread about it. They don't want to backtrack, even now when they're killing it, this is still an uphill climb and they want to make sure they do this right so that five, ten years from now, all the doubters, all the haters realize how wrong they were.
Right now I feel like the women are taking "Lose Yourself" to heart. This is their one chance, their one shot, one opportunity to seize everything they want and they are damn well going to capture it.

YAY:
The women putting on a fantastic EC match
Shane and Miz giving us some storyline progression
Balor is IC champion
Everything to do with the final match except Samoa Joe
BOO:
Poor, poor Samoa Joe
Poor, poor, poor, poor Ruby Riott
WTF Lacey Evans?
The loss of Ronda's shorts
Enjoyable show on the whole. I really think we saw 2 all-time classic Elimination Chamber matches. While the rest of the show was stop-start, a 7 or an 8 is fair.
