-WWE Elimination Chamber received a majority B as the letter grade with 43 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B- grade in the members’ audio review on Sunday night.
-The voters gave the Women’s Elimination Chamber match the best match of the night nod with 42 percent of the vote. The men’s Elimination Chamber match finished second with 35 percent. I found the men’s match to be better in terms of the in-ring work, but I came away more entertained by the women’s match. Some of that was due to the men’s match outcome feeling so predictable.
-Monday’s WWE Raw received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 34 percent of the vote. I agree with the readers.
-Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown Live received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 36 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B-minus grade in that it was carried by the main event and didn’t have much else going on.
