It's weird that even if you take Owens/Cena off the card, I'm still looking forward to this show more than I did Fastlane, Payback & Extreme Rules combined. That being said....
- Neville via Red Arrow (though a Bo win would be huge & they could play off of Neville's bad leg not being able to do flippy moves)
- Naomi (Tits hits the Shock Treatment on Paige, gets tossed to the floor & Naomi steals it)
- Ryback (if they replace Rusev with Wyatt, I'm going with Bray, but it fucking pains me to pick Ryback. Everyone else doesn't gain anything from winning it, plus Ryback has never won it)
- Cena via DQ or Countout (regardless, the match won't end clean)
- New Day (winning this will put their heel celebration over the top, which is a plus. No reason I should be looking forward to this clusterfuck as much as I am)
- Rollins via shenanigans (could see Reigns botch helping Ambrose, still think a Shield 3 Way Dance at Summerslam is in the works & would be huge, this could plant the dissension between Ambrose/Reigns)

I'm more pumped for this show than any so far since Mania. We can't forget the awesome Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose fued from last year, it was one of the bright spots so the main event should be entertaining. I hope it doesn't get too crazy with interference. And if I had to book a main event I probably would have those two so for the internet fans its awesome. And then there's Mr. Steen. That match speaks for itself, if you call yourself a fan there's no way you arnet super psyched for it. I predict Owens winning. If he doesn't, he'll apron powerbomb Cena after the match. On top of all that we have Two chamber matches, which aren't always good in terms of wrestling but great for entertainment. Anyways I won't be watching live because I work, I'll start watching around 9 so I'll be out of the loop for awhile and not looking at my phone. My picks are:
Neville over Bo via Red Arrow
Naomi wins the title by pinning Paige after Tamina Distracts.
New Day win the tag titles after beating Cesaro Kidd and The Wyatt's for he last two. Harper and Rowen will take out the ptp hopefully and get put into the match.
Ziggler to win the IC title after pinning Sheamus, but if Bray is in it he will win.
Owens pins John Cena and the internet crashes.
Rollins over Ambrose but the seeds are planted for the Seth Rollins vs Triple H match down the line. Overall should be a great show.

Predictions:
Neville
Nikki (I think Vince is petty and wants Nikki to break AJ Lee's record of days held)
Sheamus
Cena (Because the E almost never does what I want them to)
New Day (Incredible act at the moment. Another thing the E stumbled and bumbled it's way into)
Rollins

Owens does something cowardly to get DQ'd. He hits the outside power bomb on Cena. Cena still tries to defend the US Title on Raw, and loses to another surprise contestant.

I love that idea. Cena clearly looks like he can't compete, but since Owens won't grant HIM a rematch (because Owens has the title he cares about), he will have the Open Challenge........Bray answers & wins the title.
Hell you can have Bray vs Cena at the next PPV and have Owens cost Cena the match. Build toward a legit match between Cena/Owens with more than 2 weeks build for Summerslam. THEN you have Owens beat Cena clean. Or, because it's Vince, he'll just have Cena win.
They have to keep Owens strong now that he's promoted to main roster. They can't do what they did with Rusev & have him win 1 & lose 3 straight against Cena.

I'm really really looking forward to this card. The only match I couldn't care about is the IC match. They just put the worst group of midcard jobbers in that match. None of them are interesting to me. Everything else on this ppv could have a chance to steal the show.
Happy Owens and Cena day.

I really wish this was in Chicago. Owens would be a top-3 star after tonight. The crowd would make him. Corpus Christi gave the wrestling world one thing. Clash of the Champions X. I don't even know if the crowd was good, I just remember the show.
I disagree with the IC match. Yes, R-Truth is in it. Yes, Ryback might actually kill someone when you combine steel with his work. But Ziggler, Barrett, and Sheamus can go. We'll likely get a surprise entry, and maybe Lana pulls a Debra tonight. That probably won't happen, but one can hope.
The tag team match will be a glorious car wreck. I fear someone might legitimately get injured. Way too many spots, and way too many guys.
The Divas match will...........don't care.
Neville v Bo Dallas could be outstanding. Whenever Neville goes for a high spot, Bo Dallas should run and stall Larry Legend style. It could be great if they use psychology. Cue JR.
Rollins and Ambrose will be great as always, but I fear it will be an obvious schmoz. You could piss people off with a DQ in your two non-Chamber matches. But those should have decisive finishes. The Authority desperately needs new blood. It might not happen until SummerFest. But I'm tired of the Kane angle. Not good heel heat, change the channel heat. If Big Show returns to job out Ambrose, the only benefit will be Kesha's Chrisley style response.
Looking forward to the show.

Due to a leg injury suffered earlier this week, Rusev is not medically cleared to compete in tonight's Elimination Chamber Match for the vacated Intercontinental Title.
Renee Young broke the news moments ago on Periscope, live from Corpus Christi, Texas, the site of tonight's event. The Bulgarian Brute suffered the injury on SmackDown, WWE.com previously reported.
With Rusev out of action, what will become of his spot in tonight's match for the prestigious Intercontinental Championship? Will there be a replacement? And how will this breaking news affect the game plans of the other Chamber participants heading into WWE's fiercest battleground? Find out when Elimination Chamber takes over the award-winning WWE Network tonight at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Lana and her legs were pushing the face turn on the pre-show. She could obviously play the "fooled you" card down the road. But I wonder if the injury changed plans?

I hope this doesn't start a possible breakup with Kidd/Cesaro.
That was just as much of a clusterfuck as I thought. it was alright though, nothing special. Some different looking spots.
Would've liked to see New Day in there with more than 2 teams though.

Would've liked to see New Day in there with more than 2 teams though. That Kalisto spot from the top of the cage seemed off. I should probably just sit back and enjoy, but I really don't like the Elimination Chamber. I feel like the legit damage that outside causes doesn't generate enough heat to justify it. |
