Smackdown Live’s women stole the show on an historic night for the division at the Elimination Chamber pay per view event.
– We’re live from Anaheim, California with Mauro Ranallo, JBL, David Otunga and Tom Phillips.
When Sunday night was over and fans walked out of WWE’s Elimination Chamber PPV, some must’ve been pinching themselves.
“She was so disappointed, and all she could manage to say was “No”. She warned him they would lie to him, they would try to denounce him, they would try to steal his gift. But now, after everything he’s gone through, he truly does have the whole world in his hands. Fans pop for Wyatt.
The PPV ended with Randy Orton staring into the eyes of Bray Wyatt. This is why she insulted Nikki Bella’s personal life, especially focused on her relationship with John Cena. Her new title marks the very first championship title she has earned in the WWE. And it would be great to see Bray Wyatt finally, and deservedly, get the strap. The chant starts up again. Surely, Cena will get his rematch in the coming weeks, but don’t forget that Styles also has a singles rematch promised to him. Cena wants to cut the chit-chat and have their match right now. I see why WWE turned him heel as he was not doing anything worthy as a babyface, but he hasn’t been great as a heel. Therefore, the interesting aspect is how they go about keeping the title on Wyatt. This makes me think that Cena will not retain the title. To kick off the things it was Cena who was the most experienced amongst six against his rival AJ Styles. Cena, AJ and Wyatt have words as Bryan’s music hits. Just when Cena went for an AA to Wyatt, the latter countered into Sister Abigail and pinned Cena. The theme of family, by blood and by choice, should run deep throughout this build-up, and that this is Bray’s first “main event” program at WrestleMania feels like both the ending of the underwhelming first phase of his career and the birthing of his second act -where, hopefully, those long-standing “the new Undertaker” takes will come to fruition.
All this action followed the night’s opening bout, Becky Lynch’s victory over Mickie James.
What insanity will take place this year as SmackDown LIVE Superstars throw caution to the wind in the pursuit of championship glory?
The SmackDown Tag Team Championships were defended in a tag team turmoil match, which is a gauntlet-style match. As we edge towards Mania, a bigger programme should give the Show Off the lift he needs.
Dean Ambrose rolled-up Baron Corbin to secure the first elimination of the night, before Ambrose was pinned by The Miz after being attacked by an irate Corbin.
Orton has been one of WWE’s top stars for the last decade, winning the world title 12 times.

American Alpha (c) vs. Harper throws Orton outside and hits a suicide dive on him, then back suplexes him onto the announce table. Jey Uso comes in off a blind tag and drops Slater with a superkick to eliminate him and Rhyno. Crews gets in some offense early on, but Ziggler takes over and keeps Crews grounded with a headlock. That means it’s time for the suplexes but Chad tags himself back in, leaving Jordan to miss a charge into the corner. Not that it matters as Gable rolls over for the real hot tag. The double count-out finish was fine despite the crowd’s negative reaction. Kalisto came in and hit Doplh with a spinning headkick before Crews wrapped up the win with a running sitout powerbomb.
