Recap, Review, and Results of 2014 Elimination Chamber
Tonight was the last major stop on the Road to Wrestlemania and it filled with a tension. Let me start by saying this pay-per-view was great until the very end and all the interference and swerves. Here are the results of the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view:
-Randy Orton wins WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match
-Intercontinental Champion Big E def. Jack Swagger
-AJ Lee def. Cameron – Divas Championship Match
-Titus O’Neil def. Darren Young
-WWE Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws def. The Usos
-Batista def. Alberto Del Rio
-Cody Rhodes & Goldust def. Ryback & Curtis Axel (Kickoff Match)The Wyatt Family def. The Shield
Things I absolutely hated about this show were the ending. The ending was not the right one. Daniel Bryan deserves to be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and honestly the fans are going to quit watching the product if their man does not win the title. If they would have did this with Austin in the attitude era the WWE would have been out of business. The other match that was a train wreck was Batista and Alberto Del Rio. I think Batista has no business in WWE at this point. He’s not same guy he was in his first run. Also the Diva’s was absolutely atrocious. They better start improving the division or just get rid of it completely.
Now as far as the rest of the show goes, it was awesome. The Wyatts vs. The Shield was phenomenal and will be a match of the year candidate. I like how they kept Roman Reigns strong while losing to the Wyatt Family and I am sure more will come out of it. I also enjoyed the Intercontinental Championship match between Big E and Jack Swagger. These two men brought it and brought it in a great way. Also the tag team division is stronger then it’s ever been. the pre-show match and the tag title match were both very solid and all the tag teams are looking great right now.
I would have to give to pay-per-view a 7 out of 10 because overall it was really good. The ending really put a damper on it. I thought Cesaro, Reigns, Langston were the three top performer of the night. I really hope WWE does not seriously go through with the Batista vs. Orton main event for Wrestlemania 30. I honestly think it will be a train wreck if it happens. The Road to Wrestlemania 30 continues and we have 6 weeks left to find out what WWE will do.
