The following matches are advertised for the WWE Elimination Chamber event that will be held Sunday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Wells Fargo Center.
-Shayna Baszler vs. Asuka vs. Natalya vs. Ruby Riott vs. Liv Morgan vs. Sarah Logan in an Elimination Chamber match for a shot at the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania.
-The Miz and John Morrison vs. Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso vs. Big E and Kofi Kingston vs. Otis and Tucker vs. Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik vs. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in an Elimination Chamber match for the Smackdown Tag Titles.
-Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro, and Sami Zayn in a handicap match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Powell’s POV: The men’s Elimination Chamber match for a shot at the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania has been scrapped. WWE simply announced Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania instead. WWE has a lot of work to do and several matches to announce between now and Sunday.
Back in the day when they charged 60 bucks for a PPV it would have been unthinkable to see such poor planning… now with the network, they can afford to book PPVs on the run because we are paying 10 bucks a month. The network has worsened show quality no doubt.
Just what I was thinking. Imagine being asked to pay more than 10 bucks for this card?
If they don’t up the quality if they take the PPVs off the Network, I can’t see them selling many.
