Road to Wrestlemania 30: Week 4

First off I’d like to apologize for not writing last week. I was laid up in the hospital recovering from open heart surgery. Although I did love some stuff I’ve seen in the week or so. Monday Night Raw kicked off with the six Elimination Chamber participants confronting each other. Then Kane came out and decided that all six men would compete in singles competition that night. The first of those matches was between Daniel Bryan and Christian. Daniel Bryan wins despite Kane’s efforts in costing him the match. Afterwards Kane brutally attacked Bryan. Antonio Cesaro and John Cena had a phenomenal match on Monday. This was fresh of Cesaro’s win over Randy Orton on the previous Smackdown. Cena got the win but Cesaro has sure been impressive. Randy Orton and Sheamus also had a good brawl until The Shield came out and caused chaos. This led to the rest of the Chamber participants and The Wyatts coming out for a brawl to end the show.

Smackdown was no different in terms of building towards the Elimination Chamber. Daniel Bryan squared off against Jack Swagger and then faced off against Cesaro. Bryan won both matches but it was Kane and Cesaro who did the damage once it was over. The Wyatts defeated The Rhodes and Rey Mysterio in preparation for their match against The Shield. Sheamus and Christian squared off once again and it wasn’t much different. Sheamus won but after the match was over Christian attacked Sheamus to end the show. 

It was a good build up week to the Elimination Chamber. They teased more tension in The Shield while Roman Reigns gets stronger. The tag team division seems to be at a peak right now. On Friday Night it was announced that Hulk Hogan will be returning to WWE to host Wrestlemania 30 and make appearances on Monday Night Raw. This really has made Wrestlemania 30 a lot more interesting and will be curious to see how it all plays out. The Elimination Chamber is the last major stop on the Road to Wrestlemania 30 so here is the card for the show:

-WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match(Randy Orton/John Cena/Daniel Bryan/Cesaro/Sheamus/Christian)

-Intercontinental Champion Big E vs. Jack Swagger

-Darren Young vs. Titus O’Neil

-WWE Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws vs. The Usos

-The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family

-Batista vs. Alberto Del Rio
Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel (Kickoff Match)

It will be interesting to see how this effects the buildup to Wrestlemania 30. Keeping check back each week for the Road to Wrestlemania.
