Three qualifying matches on Raw tonight:
Finn/Cena, Elias/Matt, Braun/Kane.

Really think Finn could win this. They’ve made him look like such a huge deal the last couple of weeks.

I may have asked before so can Cena now appear on both Raw and SD?

Yeah, he's a "Free Agent" which means he can show up wherever he wants.

For the Raw womens title.

J. Marston

If Bliss come out of that with the title, I give up.

Think Ronda will win the Chamber match setting up match against Asuka at Mania

CastorTroy

So women to be Alexa, Nia, Sasha, Bayley, Sonya and Mandy?

Pretty much. Alicia is injured and Dana is a jobber/valet (yet still eliminated Kairi in the RR :mad:).

Could also have Asuka decide to enter the Chamber and defend against Ronda at WM.

They could go with Ronda-Charlotte too. Charlotte would probably be a better fit for publicity purposes, and the Flair name would add more mainstream appeal to a match with Ronda. They could hold that until Summerslam though, WM pretty much sells itself anyway.

Would be content to put my life savings on Roman winning the EC match.

And you would be correct. You can put your life savings on Roman leaving WM as universal champion now.

so with the first ever woman's elimination chamber match (running out of first ever) does that mean it will be the main event again?

Not a chance, with Roman set to win the EC they'll have him Main Event so they can close with PPV with him on top pointing to the WM sign.

The Women's Royal Rumble was the main event purely for the Ronda Rousey angle.

angle.

And while he's pointing, Braun will flip the chamber

Wouldn't be shocked. All of the first evers have closed the show so far, Hell in a Cell, Royal Rumble etc.

CastorTroy

The women can do anything men can. Apart from fight men. I remember Asuka tweeting that she was looking forward to fighting Braun in the mixed match tournament only for him to tell her she wouldn't be. She was disappointed. He was probably relieved

Lord TSC

Ads are running in Las Vegas for the PPV, and spoils all the particpants in the women's chamber

(Not, mind, that it takes a genius to work them out...)

J. Marston

Sasha and Bayley are going to need to do some serious carrying in that match.

CastorTroy

With regards those participants,

how did I ever guess that lineup correctly?

:rolleyes: Not like there's much choice

It's a bit like guessing all the women in the Royal Rumble

There should only be 20 spaces in it really, you can't have a dozen legends returning every year to make up the numbers

Its something for them to consider next year, the likes of Trish and Lita were always going to pop the crowd this year, but despite there quality, they don't have the depth when it comes to legends returning for a pop.

Genuinely don't know who was not in the match this year that would pop a crowd bar AJ who I don't think can even wrestle anymore.

Aj Lee is unlikely given the relationship with Punk

Victoria, Layla, Eve Torres, Candice Michelle and Melina are probably the only ones I could see making a return someday

Could see Gail Kim, Kharma, Brooke Adams & Christy Hemme big maybe there....after having all those babies it may take her a while before she has 5 minutes to herself; god bless her.

Brilliant fan made poster for the PPV.

WWE accidentally spoiled the final entrant into the Elimination Chamber

by posting a graphic including Finn

along with The Miz, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Braun Strowman & Elias.

Lord TSC

On Facebook following Raw, Kurt Angle revealed that the final entrant into the Elimination Chamber is...

Finn Balor AND Seth Rollins

Presumably it starts as a triple threat match now.

So now 7 in the chamber match also why the spoiler tags?

Lord TSC

Just cause it was straight after Raw and I didn't want accidental clicks from people and getting spoilers.

Yeah, it's 7 people in the chamber. I guess they added Seth when yet another partner of his imploded, leaving him with nothing to do....

JP Liz V1

I'd love to see Finn or Miz win

Mr. Guappa

Ronda Rousey slated to appear at Elimination Chamber to sign her WWE contract, and one imagines set the wheels in motion for her 'Mania match.

xpletiv

This Ronda stuff seems like such a waste of time I feel like she's gonna be awful.

So I guess she will end the show facing off with the women's chamber winner

If she doesn't then her coming out at the end of the Rumble was a waste and overshadowed the womens rumble for no reason if she has this tag match against Stephanie that's rumoured

PTH2009

can see a few mania being set up at this event

Can see Miz and miztourage getting Braun Strowman elinimated from the chamber match which will lead to a mania match between miz and strowman with hopefully Braun winning an intercon title

With Ronda Rousey appearing it might set up the Ronday vs Stephanie storyline

Obv Reigns vs Lesner will be setup unless wwe are trolling us and someone else wins the chamber match. Balor vs Lesner at mania or Strowman vs Lesner ???

Cena getting eliminated early and been all dispressed, next night challegnes taker

JP Liz V1

The final card:-

Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt

Asuka vs Nia Jax (if Nia Jax wins she will be added to the Raw women's championship match at WrestleMania 34)

The Bar vs Titus Worldwide for the Raw Tag Team Championship

The Women's Elimination Chamber match for the Raw Women's Championship (Alexa Bliss (C), Bayley, Sasha Banks, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose and Mickie James)

The Men's Elimination Chamber match for a shot at the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34 (The Miz, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Braun Strowman, Elias and Finn Balor)

Ronda Rousey's contract signing

Pinkman

So I take it the chamber match will start off as a 3 way, presumably with Rollins, Finn (seeing as they were last to qualify) and probably Miz. I can see Rollins having another long night and lasting right to the end either losing to Roman or they will pin each other in some way leading to a triple threat with Brock at Mania. Personally I'd prefer the latter. The crowd need someone to get behind and the idea of ANOTHER Roman coronation is too predictable. At least with Seth in there it makes things less predictable as to who will win and will also make for a significantly better match. The story is also set up perfectly from 3 years ago. It has the potential to rivan Rollins vs Lesnar vs Cena from Rumble 15 as the best triple threat match in years.

PTH2009

could we see the wwe debut of Brother Nero with Jeff Hardy returing to help Woken matt beat Bray Wyatt ???

prob stay up for the event although i have a bloddy turas nua course at 9.30 monday morning :(

Brock/Roman face off confirmed for RAW after Elimination Chamber

CastorTroy

Looks like the preshow match is

Gallows/Anderson vs Dallas/Axel

Wish it was Balor. Been into the idea of the David vs Goliath championship match-up with Lesnar since his Summerslam match with Bryan was rumoured.

Plus I'm tired of giants colliding at the best of times.

sky88

Love the idea of finn brock cause you can use the club too have finn be heelish too

Then do seth vs roman playing off the rumble elimination and seth. Dont even have to turn any one heel just both trying to prove there the man

Mr.Nice Guy

Finn vs Brock would be a total farce. Balor looks small standing next to Rollins, never mind standing for a face-off with Brock Lesnar. The casual audience would laugh if you stuck those two on a billboard together. Imagine Finn Balor turning up on Conan O'Brien's show the week of Mania - Conan would tower over him too - and trying to convince millions of Americans that he can defeat the former UFC Heavyweight Champion. The audience would probably burst out laughing. I like Finn but let's be real here.

The main event of Mania needs two badass dudes who look like they can tear it up. Reigns vs Lesnar is the match that will carry the most crossover appeal so I hope Vince has the courage to go for it, as it's obviously a match he's wanted to do for some time.

sky88

Daniel bryan looked redicolous next to orton and batista but it didnt stop him having one of the best mania moments and main events and doing all the media in the world hell Hbk looked redicolous next to taker. Wwe is all about suspending disbelief and finn vs brock could be one of these moments.

But in case you are It worked for Eddie Brock.

I am serious - and don't call me Shirley!

Eddie was bigger than Finn physique wise when he fought Brock and it was still played up as a total mismatch. Goldberg interfered prior to the finish, which is often forgotten. Finn will look like a Cruiserweight next to Brock because realistically that's what he is.

There's suspension of belief and then there's "don't be ridiculous". This would be like expecting Hurricane Helms to defeat Kane in a singles match.

Don't forget prior to Bryan getting injured he was supposed to be in the Cena spot of being absolutely destroyed by Brock.

PTH2009

why does Ronda need an entourage to sign a contract

He's right to be fair.

Finn v Brock could be done, but it would need months of booking Finn as an absolute killer to make it somewhat creditable. Mania? to soon, to get Finn to that level.

I don't care that much about Roman, but he is the biggest full time star right now in the company so its the obvious if predictable match.
