Elimination Chamber

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

This match totally screams “we need a seventh match”. Neither of these guys are incredibly impressive in the ring, the story is pretty stale, and both of these guys are three months past relevance.As Corbin makes his way off of TV, Braun’s clubbing blows will act as the hammer and nail to Baron’s coffin.

Matt: Braun Strowman

Mike: BRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAUUUUUUUNNNNNN

Buddy Murphy vs. Akira Tozawa (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

Budddy Murphy is probably destined to take the WWE Cruiserweight Championship to WrestleMania. To get there, he’ll have to deal with Akira Tozawa and his streak of marquee matches on 205 Live and PPV’s. Tozawa is getting the push he’s deserved for a while, but chances are he is the transition challenger in Murphy’s journey to big show.

Matt: Akira Tozawa

Mike: Buddy bear

Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor (Intercontinental Championship)

Finn Balor could be on his way to repeating Seth Rollins’ run last year. Which now will offer Rollins a main event spot at WrestleMania with the Beast. Finn Balor is the guy who can make the IC Title interesting, but maybe not just yet...

Matt: Bobby Lashley

Mike: Bobby Lashley

Ronda Rousey vs. Ruby Riott (Raw Women's Championship)

Do you need to care about this match? For story? No. But it will be nice to Ruby Riott in the main event scene for teh Women’s Championship. Obviously she’s deserving of a chance to hold this title, but no one is taking down Ronnie, heading into Mania.

Matt: Ronda Rousey

Mike: Ronda Rousey

The Miz and Shane McMahon vs. the Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)

The promos are great and the storyline was fun to think about, but now I find myself rooting for the Miz and Shane McMahon over actual Tag Teams. But this is the opportunity to get the Usos into WrestleMania AND start the Shane McMahon vs Legit Superstar feud starts this Sunday.

Matt: The Usos

Mike: Miz + Shane 

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match

What else needs to be said about this history making match? The next step in legitimizing this divison will be taken this Sunday and what’s more exciting is that we’ll get a nod to the first Tag Title feud for WrestleMania!

Excitement Level for matches usually takes a lot of promos and hard work. For the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, and Elimination Chamber, I just need a time and date. The WWE Championship being on the line doesn’t hurt either. After this Sunday, we’ll be primed for our reigning champion, headed into WrestleMania.
