darrenswinloss.wordpress.com/2018/02/12/elimchamber/Here's the History of the PPV updated with tonight's results.A fun Elimination Chamber PPV as the 2nd stop on the Road to WrestleMania. I wasn’t paying attention to anything else on the Kickoff Show, but the Fatal 4-Way Match was fun. The Smackdown Chamber Match was awesome. I was expecting the Universal Title to be a short match. I hope we will see Daniel Bryan in the Universal Title Picture again. I love Edge coming out & making his decision. OK segment with Bad Bunny, The Miz, & Damian Priest earlier. The Triple Threat for the US Title was fun & I was not expecting the finish. The Women’s Tag Team Match was horrible & made Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair look like idiots. The WWE Championship Chamber Match was awesome. Everyone worked hard. I love what happened after the match & The Miz’s cash-in. Things got very interesting on the Road to WrestleMania. The only thing I didn’t like was that Bray Wyatt didn't make an appearance to cost Randy Orton the match.
