WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 - Rumours, spoilers, etc

Lord TSC

Card is already shaping up.

WWE Championship - Elimination Chamber Match
Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy vs Samoa Joe vs Mustafa Ali vs AJ Styles

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship - Elimination Chamber Match
Jax/Tamina vs Rose/Deville vs Morgan/Logan vs Iiconics vs ???? vs ????

WWE Smackdown Tag Championships
Miz/McMahon vs Usos

I can't see Brock defending, so I'm guessing Raw won't have a chamber match. Two is enough anyway.

Guessing we'll see Finn vs Lashley for the IC title. Guessing Bayley/Banks and Kairi/Io as the last two teams?

J. Marston

Last two women's teams were spoiled/announced by an ad...

Carmella and Naomi over Sky Pirates? Go 'way and shíte, WWE.

Lord TSC

I can appreciate they don't want to call the duo up, but the reason they were rumoured was cause of the utter lack of teams. THAT team is very obviously filler, which is a bad image to give off when you're introducing a new championship for a division.

Tbf the Iiconics are embarrassingly bad in comparison to that 6th team. Even if they are a tag team the pair of them combined wouldn't add up to a talented wrestler. Looking at the quality of the Rumble match it doesn't fill me with much hope for this match.

Itssoeasy

meltzy is reporting that Sasha banks may not be cleared for the elimination chamber event. She's been injured a bit recently which would be worrying given she isn't the biggest.

CastorTroy

Spoilered for anyone who has to watch this week's episode yet but Cruiserweight title match, which will probably be on the preshow

Buddy Murphy vs Akira Tozawa

Ronda defending her title against Ruby Riott

SureYWouldntYa

I bloody hate title matches where there's 1000000% only 1 outcome, but how will Ronda overcome the odds?

With the chamber match, Bryan is the heavy favourite, but really any of 4 guys could conceivably come out with the title

Even though the outcome is obvious I hope Ruby(Who I think is a future champion in WWE) gets a strong showing and isn't made to look like a joke. Ruby is too good to be made a jobber. Don't let the tattoos fool you, this girl can wrestle.

Lord TSC

For all they try to deny the "Ronda is leaving after Mania" rumours, it sure feels the last few weeks has been trying to cram in as many different matches as possible for her, like there's a rush to do them.

I think she'll definitely take a break anyways. I don't think it will be permanent, but assuming the plan is for her to lose it would make sense for her to leave briefly and come back, possibly turn heel and set up either a rematch with Becky/Charlotte (hopefully Becky) at SS, or do the Four Horsewomen match (although they might do Ronda VS Becky - heel turn, introduce the Four Horsewomen, Survivor Series Match - leading into someone taking her down at Mania again next year)

And yes I'm probably being naïve that the WWE is that forward thinking :pac:

Lord TSC

Reports that

Mustafi Ali

is being pulled from the chamber due to injuries.

GSPfan

If Ronda is leaving you’d think it’s to start a family so she could be gone for a few years. Why else would she leave.

mcdaids69

they answered that in ronda thread :D

Surely...

Sheamus, or Cesaro or even New Day

J. Marston

Two matches announced...

Finn vs Lashley and Rush in handicap match. If Finn pins either, he wins the IC belt.

Strowman vs Corbin.

Both dreadful matches. They really have nothing for anyone outside the main event.

So Finn pins Rush leading to Lashley v Rush at Mania with Finn being in the multi man IC title match??

Itssoeasy

Am I the only person who doesn't see women's chamber match for the tag titles as a straight forward predictable as to the winner. I think there are at least three teams of the four who could win and I'd be perfectly happy with any of them being the first champs. The only one I wouldn't like to see is nia jax and tamina and it's nothing personal to either of them, but not their time. I'd love if the riott squad won and ruby had a decent showing in her match with ronda. They may be a underused group but they are a good group.

sky88

I’d much prefer riot squad win and give bayley/sasha the mania moment with the win there

Lord TSC

Imagine if Ruby won, and they move towards Becky vs Ronda without the title.

I don't see it but I certainly see Ruby Riott as a champion in WWE. There is a match she had on raw with Ronda in November last year before the show in Australia which shows how good a match her and Ronda can have. And Ronda is in there with a person who knows what she is doing having done it for nine years.Is it obvious I'm a fan of Ruby Riott or have I been subtle enough ?

Not at all :pac:

ERG89

I'd pay money to see the look on Vince's face if someone suggested in a creative meeting that having Ronda Rousey lose her title to Ruby Riott.
Rousey & Lynch is all they have on paper now that people want to see at Wrestlemania even if it involves Charlotte. People want Lynch to be the one to beat her.
Nobody cares about the world title matches, the public are aware Taker is done in ring even if he ain't & unless you really want to see Ambrose vs Nia Jax or Kevin Owens return there ain't much to anticipate.

I would love Kofi to get a world title reign

I'm really hoping they have Kofi put in a strong showing at EC, and keep moving forward into a proper Bryan vs Kofi match at Mania.

nannerby

I think id put my foot through the TV screen if I had to listen to promos between Bryan and New Day.

sky88

give Kofi the title then it leads to big e turning on the new day with poor xavier stuck in the middle

nazmoalex

Would love to see Kofi win the title.

Pessimist in me thinks neither Bryan or Kofi walk out with the title, and we wind up with New Day vs Vegan Wyatts with Bryan in place of Bray or Harper. Surely one of them due back before Mania? Hopefully not!

New day been a bit shafted Mania wise, when they hosted it was pants. As it stands for me, their mania moment is coming out of a giant box of booty o's. If Kofi were to be in a match with Bryan for the title at Mania no question he'd deserve it. I'd be happy with a decent singles run for Kofi to be fair.

Lord TSC

WWE are live streaming the construction of the chamber.

PTH2009

Suppose I'll stay up for this, main show is midnight.-3.30

Don't expect much to happen tbh. Can see Bryan retaining with help from Rowan and a returning Harper

Anyone but Tamina and Jax for the women's tag titles

Brock with the night off again

The White Wolf

I'm resigned to Jax and Tamina winning to be honest. The way they've put over Jax since the Rumble....there's only one way that is ending tonight.

Agent Coulson

I don't think Sasha & Bailey should win it tonight they are better chasing it to WM and let them have their moment on the biggest of them all.

SureYWouldntYa

Why not have Bayley/Sasha be history making instead by being the first champions tonight

We're already looking at Rollins and Becky getting their moment by winning the title at Mania, there's enough of those moments

The White Wolf

WWE probably have the horn at the idea of the first women's tag team champions being a pair of Samoans from the "Royal" blood line. That's one of the main reasons I think result tonight isn't even in question.

J. Marston

Main event is

The women's EC, according to a post on Reddit from Fightful's patreon. Thought the WWE title would get that spot, looks like a potentially great match. I have little to zero interest in the women's EC so it saves me staying up later for it.

Agent Coulson

Mojo push incoming.

Giving one of his good promos in the pre show.

Sirsok

Tozawa v Murphy should be good.

Been really impressed with Murphy since his nxt days, liked Blake and Murphy, especially with Bliss. Glad to see him step up. Consistantly great creative performer.

Sirsok

Cruiserweight matches should open every show. Cant help but feel the preshow element of it, drags some life out of it.

Consistantly putting on great matches.

Murphy needs to mov3 up the card, another great performance

martyos121

Burying Owens with cringey vlogs before he even returns?

It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off.

Speaking of Alexa bliss. It shows how good as a heel she is but when you see or hear her talk not in character she comes across as the nicest person ever. Maybe that's why she is so good at playing a heel because she is such a nice person in real life.

Itssoeasy

Charles looking well. Big mark looking healthy and well. Good to hear.

Mark henry picking the Iconics to win.

Why is the audio for Coach so crap lads ?

Sirsok

Interesting you say that itsoeasy, was having a conversation thr other day about acting. Was about actora producing fantastic results of portraying a character that completed opposite to their own characters.

For example eddie durkin and the viper are english guys that moved to ireland and were able to pinpoint certain irish characteristics that would ve common to most people but completely foreign to others, and replicate it with great details.

Or a pioneer playing a drunk person, they are able to pick up certain mannerisms that others canr pick up upon as they are so engrained in that culture.

That was excellent. Tozawa is no slouch. Very enjoyable match.

I love that WWE still put up the warning at the start of the PPV.

Not the first women's tag titles lads. The glamour girls and Jumping bomb angels would like a word ladies.
