Second night in a row that I’m attending a WWE show… it’s a PPV, this time around; the Elimination Chamber PPV or whatever they’re calling it. Make no mistake, however; the Elimination Chamber may be the gimmick that the show is named for, but neither Chamber match is the focal point of the main event, as beloved underdog and hometown favorite Sami Zayn challenges the dominant Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This was a major turning point in the story of Sami Zayn and the Bloodline and the way I saw it, there were only TWO ideal scenarios that you could go from here… but did they actually go there?
Unlike the Smackdown musings, I did watch the PPV as it aired on the WWE Network and so there’s a little more structure. And honestly, there’s a couple live notes I could toss there, but on a whole, there’s not much too to it. I think the crowd reactions translated well to television. Maybe a couple localized chants from our section didn’t quite make the cut, which is a shame because you had the one guy who constantly chanting for Mami and there were a couple random chants here and there – see the Smackdown musings because they’re the same chants pretty much. But on a whole, no complains on how it was presented on television other than the usual quibbles about the shitty N64-style graphics for the entrances as well as some of the more atrocious camera work during the Men’s chamber match.
