The only good thing about this show was the opening match and the rest was filled with mid type of matches.
And of course, I’ve not seen the pre-show match which was a number one contender’s bout for the United States championship.

Kevin Owens vs Jey Uso vs Sami Zayn vs King Corbin vs Daniel Bryan vs Cesaro. An Elimination Chamber Match With The Winner Facing Roman Reigns Later In The Night.
It's really odd that WWE had to air a video about the SmackDown side of the Elimination Chamber AFTER Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, King and Jey Uso showed up.
Nevertheless, the match was fanfreakingtastic.
Cesaro and Daniel Bryan started off the Elimination Chamber Match and to quote Robert Roode's now old theme song, it was GLORIOUS!
Sami Zayn was talking mad sh*t however, Cesaro shit his a** up with his signature uppercut.
King Corbin delivered a chokeslam to Daniel Bryan aka "big man does a chokeslam" cliche.
Speaking of Corbin, he was eliminated by Cesaro using the sharpshooter.
Kevin Owens nailed a fantastic looking moonsault from the top of the pod into everybody in the match.
Oh, and he eliminated Sami Zayn with the stunner.
But then, Jey Uso immediately eliminated Owens with the splash Samoan style as well as Cesaro mere moments later.
Despite the bad knee sustained from the match itself, Bryan delivered the running knee to win the match and will face Roman Reigns for the championship later in the night.
I was hoping for a Cesaro win but we got the leader of the yes movement winning and I don't mind it.
I'm glad WWE did something different here instead of having Kevin Owens somehow getting a number one contendership for the blue belt again.
Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan For The Universal Championship.
After Bryan's victory, the universal championship had immediately started off and it immediately ended thanks to Roman's guillotine submission move.
I mean, why would Daniel last for 10 or so minutes following a fantastic yet brutal Elimination Chamber match?
Edge speared the hell out of Roman Reigns which means the match between Edge and Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 37 is official.
It took Edge an eternity to make his decision but finally, I guess.
Bad Bunny slapped a pissed off Miz. Why? I don't know but I didn't mind this.
Riddle vs John Morrison vs Bobby Lashley For The United States Championship.
Riddle's outfit looked like Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights.
This was ALL Bob Lashley for the most part.
However, Riddle used MVP's crutches to hit Lashley which sent the guy to the outside and immediately delivered the Broderick on Johnny Impact to win the US title for the first time.
The booking for Riddle within the past few months didn't deserve this win because the dude has been written to look like an absolute dufus.
But, the way he won it was aight.
It protected the big man and it was a way to take off the US championship away from him.
Sasha Banks And Bianca Belair vs Nia Jax And Shayna Baszler For The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
This match honestly didn't need to happen.
Why's the women's tag team champions always feuding with either the RAW or women's champions?
The only exception that I didn't mind was the feud with Becky Lynch and Asuka last year due to the fact that Lynch's entire motive was that she hadn't defeated Asuka.
Thanks to Reggie, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax retained the titles by pinning the SmackDown women's champion.
Yes, they pinned the SmackDown's women's championship. Fantastic! Excelsior!
Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus vs AJ Styles vs Kofi Kingston vs Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton In An Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE Championship.
Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy started off the final Elimination Chamber match of the night and Orton was immediately pinned by Kofi Kingston to which Kingston as well as Jeff Hardy, ate an RKO.
AJ Styles entered the match early because of Styles' associate, Omos.
Adam Pearce was shouting at Omos, telling the big man to leave the ring.
Once Sheamus showed up, he and Drew McIntyre beat the hell outta each other for obvious reasons.
The Dublin brawler eliminated Kofi Kingston with the brogue kick and minutes later, Drew McIntyre eliminated Jeff Hardy with the claymore kick.
After another brogue kick being executed by Sheamus to Drew McIntyre, Styles hits the phenomenal forearm to eliminate Sheamus.
Drew McIntyre quickly nailed the Claymore kick from mid-air to AJ and retained the WWE championship.
A mid-match with a cool finish.
Bobby Lashley ABSOLUTELY destroyed Drew McIntyre and my goodness, The Miz cashed in the Money In The Bank contract to win the WWE championship for the second time.
What's that saying again? What's old is indeed new. I don't know how to react to the ending other than HUH?
He's definitely going to lose the championship before Wrestlemania, right?
For real though, the ending wasn't terrible or great, it was just surprising that WWE pulled it off.
It's the closest thing to a Vince Russo unpredictable type of writing in the modern era (wait. Is Vinne Russo writing for WWE again!?).
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Smackdown's Elimination Chamber match.
Didn't like: Sasha Banks as women's champion taking the pin.
