[3.0] "Truly a concoction of horrendous pacing(the entrances were nearly longer than the match itself! ), uninteresting chaos, obvious reveals for the sake of cheap pops, and another of HHH's many, MANY runbacks of the one million and one interferers ultimately resulting in a finish that, while refreshingly unexpected, still feels ultimately slapped together in a desperate attempt to create intrigue for WrestleMania which is so underhyped this year I keep forgetting the dates which it is taking place. How depressing is this compared to where we were two years ago?"
[8.0] "Extremely overhated match considering the way the crowd went insane for the Rollins reveal. Surprise winner, plenty of good spots, fine eliminations. Yes, a couble of botches and interference finish hurt it a little, but people care about the booking way too much while rating. Overall -- good action, fine work from everone involved (aside for LA Knight who had troubles)"
[2.0] "Without a doubt one of the worst Elimination Chamber's matches I've ever seen, the match doesn't have a great spot, even with a fantastic worker like Je'Von Evans who could have delivered an all-timer level spot. Furthermore, Logan Paul makes the first three eliminations in a completely unconvincing way, leading to another appearance by the masked man who this time revealed himself to be Seth Rollins (to the surprise of absolutely no one). Immediately, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre attacks Cody Rhodes, allowing Randy Orton to capitalize and deliver an RKO to win the match (the only good part of the match). Except for the result, what a disastrous match [*1/4]."
[2.0] "I've never zoned out of an Elimination Chamber match quite like this. The only thing I remember, is something happening towards the finish, and I don't even remember details. Just typical WWE masked man stuff. Everything that made the Chamber exciting back in the day, is absent."
[2.0] "This was downright bad. How are we going to explain Logan Paul eliminating three men and three much better wrestlers in Jevon, Trick, and Knight? Knight botches an elbow drop which was unfortunate, but it felt like all the spots in this match were botched to some extent. One of, if not the worst, of these matches I have ever seen. Oh yeah and tickets to the show were over $300, and this was the main event, that's WWE for you."
[5.0] "It also was a good Chamber match right until the interferences began. Prior to that the only problem this match had was LA Knight botching a top rope elbow drop. When interferences began it instantly dropped in quality by a couple of points."
[5.0] "Crap match, felt like a very rote, Universe-mode booked chamber. Maybe the gimmick needs a break. The younger guys in the match don't really get a lot out of doing the 1000000th pod dive we have ever seen, while the older guys really are starting to look their age. Maybe WWE isn't the environment for this kind of match these days because you can just feel how very selective they were about who takes what bumps. +1 extra point though for a funny finish though, that Randy Orton is a sneaky guy never turn your back on the viper and all that"
[6.0] "I do like the finish a lot but I do think it should have built to a three way imo. Save the cody or Orton turn for a Summerslam singles between the two. Didn't enjoy Logan Paul wiping mostly the whole match. It's like Bronson was supposed to be in the match and they just kept the same structure. Jevon looked great trick is progressing orton was a shock a bit to me but a great one. Getting to much hate. (***1/2)"
[6.0] "Unlike the women's match, I think this one did not do a good a job of showcasing talent that needed it, Je'von and Trick kinda got not much to do. I get the whole thing revolved around the payoff for the vision masked man 2 electric bogaloo but man this happening without Bronson or Bron just falls flat on it's face. That is not Logan or Seth's fault but I think just clearly transplanting whatever Bronson was gonna do to Logan did not really work and I really hope the thread here is not for Seth to ultimately fight Logan Paul at mania cause that just makes no sense. Even ignoring this, the match was still pretty average, the overbooked ending with Drew didn't really help but I'm glad Randy won and finally didn't hesitate on giving some offense to Cody (a punt next time please) ***."
[3.0] "WWE just cannot figure out how to book these big matches at the moment because I found this horrendous. I understand that Bronson Reed was injured but you do not need Logan Paul to pin Je'von Evans and Trick Williams. How the fuck do you make a chamber match boring? Why are we booking interferences in the chamber again?"
[6.0] "This match started off pretty well I thought. Was fun seeing Cody go at it with Je'Von to start, his interactions with Trick were cool too. He was the mvp of the match, bumping and selling for everyone in the match. But then shit when left when Logan Paul entered the match, and the decision to have him eliminate 3 guys from the match just completely killed the energy of the match until Seth showed up. You understand why he was in the match cause of the Seth stuff after Bronson's injury, but surely the way the match was laid out could have been revised even with the angle that would follow right? Nope, they stick with what they were going to do with Bronson Reed. Then Drew gets involved in the match again, doing what he can to prevent Cody from winning the match since he doesn't want to face him at mania, he would eat a RKO and Cross Rhodes shortly after but then Randy immediately hits Cody with a RKO for the win and now he's going to mania to fight for the WWE title. Because of what Drew did yet again, Nick Aldis has booked a title match between Drew and Cody on smackdown tonight. Drew was so desperate to prolong the inevitable of what may come after he finally won the title after all these years, but he kept sticking his nose in other peoples business when it didn't concern him. His downfall may be on display tonight. Stay tuned. **3/4"
[1.0] "(0.5*) - I hate giving really low ratings. Some people might say it's bias against a certain wrestler or company or whatever, but sometimes it's just necessary and totally justified. There was basically nothing in this match that worked. Whoever produced it should seriously never produce another match again. It was a disaster from start to finish. After Danhausen's embarrassing debut, the crowd, which was already kinda checked out, looked straight up asleep during the almost twenty minutes of entrances. Nobody pays good money for a wrestling ticket to sit there in silence. Fans wanna be surprised, feel valued, get great matches. Not something that feels empty, with zero ideas and no one looking like they even wanna be there. Easily the worst Elimination Chamber in history. No real kickouts, no proper nearfalls. The planned spots felt so fake and over rehearsed that they barely got any reaction. Even Evans jumping off the top of the Chamber with a Frog Splash felt pointless and badly thought out. It didn't feel important at all. He didn't even hit it on someone the crowd was dying to see get wrecked. Doing that move on Trick Williams instead of Logan Paul just sounds dumb to me. The crowd hadn't built any connection to Trick, so there's no emotional payoff in seeing him take a brutal Frog Splash like he's paying for his sins and the crowd's getting revenge. Then we get a bunch of quick, predictable eliminations. Logan Paul almost injures Je'Von with his finisher, eliminates him, and kills any chance of telling a proper underdog story. Then the Trick and LA Knight sequence, full of botches and low blows, and the crowd barely reacts. The eliminations just felt like a gift being handed to Logan Paul after twenty minutes where basically nothing happened. Seth Rollins "saved" the match from being an even bigger trainwreck (from a DUD to a 0.25*), and he wasn't even in it. The invasion angle, helping Cody eliminate Logan Paul, was the only thing that woke people up. Even when it was down to Cody and Randy, and Logan, the most hated guy in there, was finally gone, the crowd still didn't care. The only time they truly exploded was when Rollins pulled the hood off and revealed himself. The place went crazy. They sang his theme. He felt like the only real star in the building, the only one who actually made people pay attention again, just for us to get another interference right after. I seriously don't get Drew McIntyre's character. He comes off like the biggest geek ever. The guy's a champion and interferes in a match that was gonna decide his challenger between a legend 14-times World Champion and Cody Rhodes anyway. And once again, the WWE Champion ends up looking like a total idiot, getting dropped by Cody and Randy, and somehow walking into another title defense on Friday. There are a million ways to make him look like the dumbest guy in the room, and this just proves Punk and Roman were right when they called him a geek. After two interferences, Randy Orton wins with an RKO. Sure, it's a surprise, but it's nothing special. It just feels like WWE hitting the panic button because Cody vs Drew was completely uninteresting to the fans. Sloppy ass match, barely any action, no real flow, way too many goofy interferences. Pretty much everything an Elimination Chamber match should not be."
[4.0] "Meh. Pretty much nothing match with a bunch of shenanigans at the end. As is usually the case, the work wasn't bad (apart from Knight's hilarious botch), but I just felt nothing and don't care to see Orton in the main event in 2026. **"
[4.0] "4 - Bad Chambers, I have the feeling that the result does not count (especially given the post-show), no interesting spot despite the wrestlers present in the ring. Over-booking does not bring anything special, is déjà vu and is not surprising at all."
[6.0] "Average. Nothing spectacular happened and I'll probably remember just the ending. And I think that's bad. You cannot have just an "average" EC with no highlights to remember. But at least I'm happy with the winner"
[2.0] "Definitely one of the worst wrestling matches I've had the displeasure of watching. Logan Paul is not a professional wrestler- he nearly broke Je'Von Evans' neck. Despite Logan's demonstration of his lack of wrestling ability, he eliminated 3 men here. I appreciate this was originally supposed to be Bron, and it would've worked for Bronson too, but Logan isn't a guy you can slide into that spot. Evans should've been in this longer. All the interference was terrible and uninteresting, Knight was at his worst in this match and the finish, while it was a nice surprise, left more questions than answers heading into WrestleMania."
[5.0] "Thought the match was decent but had some very questionable booking decisions within it. I guess they desperately needed a Vision member in there considering Logan got 3 eliminations (that was supposed to be Bron or Bronson) and then the masked man appearing for it to be Seth. That period before Seth's reveal was just a little bit stale, Drew coming in wasn't surprising but the interferences were getting tiring, at least this one led to Randy winning."
[7.0] "A good match. That was builted in a simple way with a good activity, a few intresting spots and the ending, where the storytelling to WrestleMania explodes. Seth Rollins finally back and this thing with a fake masked man was great. Drew McIntyre obviously came to beat Cody and the last RKO to Rhodes was so cool."
[4.0] "This was sub standard and it is very clear that Bronson Reed was meant to be there doing all the Logan Paul spots.on the plus side I did not predict the result!"
[8.0] "I liked this match. That was builted in a simple way with a good activity, a few intresting spots and the ending, where the storytelling to WrestleMania explodes. Seth Rollins finally back and this thing with a fake masked man was great. Drew McIntyre obviously came to beat Cody and the last RKO to Rhodes was so cool. I don't like Randy so much, but this result and how it was is very good thing."
[5.0] "While not to the same standard of the women's chamber this was still a decent match. A variety of botches did hinder this match such as LA knight's failed elbow drop and Logan dumping Je'Von Evans on his head during his elimination. The reveal of Seth Rollins as the mystery attacker while being predictable and not making much sense since Logan Paul had no part in the vision turning on him was still a decent moment. The match was largely saved by the twist ending with Orton's surprise win setting up an interesting road to Wrestlemania for the WWE championship scene."
[8.0] "The match was a decent, but I honestly expected more. Je'Von Evans had a few impressive moments, though nothing he did felt particularly exceptional. LA Knight unfortunately had a pretty rough botch that stood out in a negative way. Where the match really delivered was the finish. The return of Seth Rollins was executed perfectly. On top of that, Randy Orton picking up the victory was genuinely unexpected and made the ending feel meaningful. Overall, a solid Chamber match with a strong finish."
[7.0] "Nice chamber match, good spots by Je'von Evans, happy for the Orton win, i appreciate what Logan Paul did, but I think that with Bronson Reed it would have been better and more credible. So, nice chamber but nothing unforgettable."
[2.0] "As was the case with the night's previous chamber match, the violence didn't at all live up to the stipulation; what is supposed to be scary and brutal was just a backing for a standard multi-man match. In contrast to the women's match, this lacked an intensity and big-match feel with a really underwhelming opening. This was also filled with sloppy moments and lacked a solid flow. LA Knight getting pinned by Logan Paul immediately after a botch was trash, and the less said about Logan getting three eliminations the better. The masked man stuff is truly terrible and interference in a Chamber match is becoming far too common, although Heyman screaming at the Rollins reveal was a fun moment. Who left the door open for Drew needs sacking immediately - absolutely no reason for him to be able to walk in there. Orton winning was a great result, but god the match wasn't up to standards at all."
[8.0] "Good match in my opinion. I Didn't find anything wrong with this match. Jevon evans was the surprising star of the match with a lot of entertainments. I really loved the heel play of logan paul, this man has my respect. Randy orton was looking very strong in this match. Interference From Mcintyre and rpllins was also something surprising and fantastic. Let's not forget about the finishing of this match with rko sequence. But can't forget the botch from La knight, will definitely reduce a 0.25 for that botch, it matters actually. (***3/4)"
[4.0] "Overbooked nonsense with a shitty finish. Why have the cage at all when, for the last part of the match, the door is just open and not one, not two, but THREE people attempt to interfere. The rest of the match was just meh. Je'von was the most interesting part of the match and he got eliminated first. I was actually pretty interested in Logan's little elimination streak he had going there, even if I know that would've just pissed people off lol. Of course, this didn't last, and they had to do a stupid interference spot. Just a lackluster showing from what should be one of the most fun matches in WWE."
[2.0] "The fact that the most recent mens war games, rumble, and elimination chamber have all had interference in them shows the serious issue that WWE has with the mid card division. First of all, Logan Paul getting the first 3 eliminations in the way he did was awful. Both Je'von and Trick could've been seriously hurt and I'm glad they're not. I don't get why he has to be in the final 3-4 in EVERYTHING. It's so tiring. La knight had a terrible botch which I'm worried is only going to get him punished again. Right after Seth returned we get ANOTHER interference from Drew. The only good part here was the ending with Randy winning, everything else sucked and was going to be on track to be just as bad as the 2022 mens chamber match but thankfully the ending does it make it quite as bad."
[3.0] "A very disappointing match with the only saving grace being that Randy won. Je'Von didn't get to do as much as I thought. I swear I remember trick just laying on his back more than actually fighting. Cody is eh in this match. LA knight has an unfortunate botch. Logan Paul pins both knight and Je'Von and then we get another masked man segment. It's Rollins and the crowd couldn't care less. Nothing interesting happened in this match. All the interferences, especially from Drew, just made the entire concept of a chamber useless. 3/10"
[7.0] "I know Logan eliminating half the field was lame, even if he mostly weaseled his way into the pins, but the match was otherwise pretty solid and fun and those last few minutes were genuinely great and I'm not gonna ignore them just to stay mad about Logan"
[7.0] "A nice chamber match, i think the low rating is explained by Logan Paul, i think it would have been better if it was Bronson Reed but he unfortunately got injures, i think the match was good and Randy Orton winning was suprising to me i was expecting Cody to win it."
[1.0] "[0.5*] First of all, I want to start saying that this is a good faith comment. I gave a higher rating than the platform's average for 2 matches and the same rating as the average for the other one. But here, in this specific match-up, I couldn't disagree more. What is an Elimination Chamber Match about? That's the only thing I was thinking when this ""Main Event"" ended. Like, what's the whole purpose of this stipulation? I thought this was about "the most terryfing structure in spots entertainment" or some bullshit catchphrase like that. So how on God's green earth I'm supposed to give this shit a good rating if it was one of the least dangerous matches I've ever seen, with one of the worst usages of a structure (EC, HIAC, Steel Cage, fucking Punjabi Prison, whatever man) I've ever seen? Man, they were doing PC wrestling moves in slow motion while every single elimination was happening automatic mode with Logan Paul of all people clean sweeping the roster. Is this some sort of a joke LMAO? How many wrestlers had individual showcases here? Because in the Women's Match we can easily name Raquel and James as highlights. Who the hell was the highlight here? The only correct answer is SETH ROLLINS, who wasn't even a part of the bout. 25 minutes of bullshitting until the cutscenes starting, because that't the only thing this company can do nowadays in its Main Event's. The actual wrestling doesn't matter anymore, the development/progression doesn't matter, the only important thing is how many social media views the "huge surprise interference" is going to get. Ever since Triple H took over, ALL the EC ME's ended with one or multiple interferences. So I'll keep things brief and end my comment with the same question I started it. What is an Elimination Chamber Match about? Cause I don't know the answer anymore."
[4.0] "Pretty lousy and everything wrong with current day WWE. A match like this needs to be fast paced and brutal and filled with spots because its impossible to tell a coherent story with all these bodies in the ring. And give a chance for the young guys to impress instead Williams and Evans don't do anything of interest and are both pinned by Logan Paul who is booked like hes Brock Lesnar here (He had go away heat) The action is mostly boring filled with botches (LA Knight is so mid when he isn't in with Gunther and Paul dropped Evans on his head) and overbooked drivel of an ending. Its funny this match totally reminded me of WCW 1999/2000 in that every big main event has to end in a big over booked cluster fuck of interferences and un clean finishes and the main event title scene being held hostage by guys in their 40s well past their prime. In WCW it was Hogan/Nash/Savage/Flair/Sid and in current day WWE its Roman/Punk/Orton/Seth/Cody (Orton is a lot like Sting in the sense to his credit has completely stepped away from the main event scene for a long time so him winning here was a surprise but at the same time Orton has done everything already and its time for fresh blood in the main event). The entire masked man and vision stuff is barely above Vince Russo level bullshit. Swerve bro with Seth being back. Drew continues to feud with Cody who have been going at it for GULP 6 months. Just a really crap match. WWE have been on a dogshit run of form recently when it comes to these big gimmick matches. Wargames, Rumble and now Chamber matches have all been duds."
[1.0] "Horrible Chamber match, truly one of the worst you can remember of, that was super lame, and pretty much everything I will remember about this match was horrific. There wasn't a single competitor who left the match better than he entered, and the production was horrendous overall. The match started with Cody, Je'Von and Trick, nothing very special happened, and then Logan Paul appeared and eliminated three people lol. Evans's participation was extremely underwhelming, people were expecting a lot from him and he did nothing. LA Knight's botch was very ugly, I don't even know if it's his fault because Balor slipped in the ropes as well, looked like a general issue, but even so, that was bad. The entire match was sloppy as hell, very bad to watch, and the whole thing was a filler to a huge swerve at the end, with Seth Rollins returning as the masked man, and helping Cody, the babyface, against Vision's Logan Paul. We even had the champion Drew McIntyre interfering after this, God, what a lame match lmao. I'm glad Randy won, but it'll not even matter anyway, the Mania match will probably involve more people - {1/2*}"
[3.0] "The action between everyone involved was actually solid for the most part, and Randy winning was both a surprise and well earned win for him, but the booking of the match was a joke with Logan eliminating half the competition ruining the vibe of the match, and the final stretch being very overbooked, with Rollins being the real masked man whose been attacking the Vision didn't have that much of a surprise factor, and Drew once again costing Rhodes the opportunity to face him. This really could've been better if it wasn't for it's laughable booking and interferences."
[2.0] "Putting Randy's win aside -- which was a very cool moment -- this match was a straight 0 out of 5. Not a single memorable spot, and it didn't even feel like there was any real structure And that botch from LA Knight? At this rate, you can't blame them for keeping him a mid-carder.Trick Williams felt like a guest. Just very bad *"
[3.0] "I don't really understand the point of having a cage with a roof on top if you can still have run ins all match long. Seems pretty dumb to me. I'm almost certain that the entrances were longer than the match, and the match was not really anything to call home about."
[4.0] "The lowest point of the show for me personally. Randy gets the win which I love and hopefully he can win #15 at WrestleMania. Logan Paul eliminates half of the field, and the masked attacker comes in and stomps Logan, leading to his elimination. I don't know why there continues to be interferences like this in the chamber, but it is what it is. Also Je'Von and LA Knight on top of the pod was a bit awkward for me with an odd BFT. The two of them throwing Logan off was cool. Not necessarily awful, just could have been much much better. **.25"
[3.0] "Really poorly booked match with nothing to get me sucked in. It's as if they're booking their PPV main events thinking about the showcase cutscenes for 2k35. Just absurdly dry, Logan's ridiculous push completely sucking the air out of the crowd. Right winner, boring, dry match"
[3.0] "what? I've never seen a match fall off so badly in my life before. What the fuck just happened after Je'Von and LA Knight went up the pod? The match just disintegrated into this mess where Je'Von got eliminated by Paul and the crowd went silent... then LA Knight botched AGAIN.... in such a high level match. I'm so crushed for this guy, I think he's done. That was so embarrassing, even more highlighted by Orton's laughter, and amid the clownery he got taken out by a low-blow and a roll up. That's absolute bonkers. Trick Williams' elimination by Logan Paul off of a stolen Cross Rhodes pin fell completely flat killing a lot of his previous build-up... fucking Logan Paul eliminated 3 of the 5 men besides him. Seth's return couldn't help the abysmal downfall this match had, WOW. I mean WOW. What the fuck, I can't even believe they made Drew McIntyre look like an absolute FUCKING CLOWN again. This company is run by low-IQ people. It has to be. I mean a child who follows the product can make a better script. They're straight up killing characters. Who benefits from this? Who the fuck knows if they're using Grok AI or something to pull something as rotten as this. This is straight up fucked. Hell nah."
[3.0] "A REALLY bad chamber but admittedly not their fault. It's clear that Logan's booking was meant for Bronson and him getting injured fucked their plans, but I'm sure they could've done something stronger than copy-paste booking for the Vision member in the match. Logan running through people doesn't make any sense, we should've pivoted to Edge style ultimate opportunist stuff. Why he didn't pin Trick after the Je'von dive is genuinely beyond me. And then there's two full interference spots, which we've seen multiple times on TV, watering down this match to TV level nonsense. Randy winning was unpredictable but it wasn't particularly exciting. Just not a good chamber."
[5.0] "This was a very confusing and strange match that at least had a good ending sequence. Rollins reveal as the Masked Man was not surprising, but still good, as Seth is one of the best in WWE. I am SO glad that Randy won, and even though all of the interferences were stupid, not to mention Logan Paul eliminating THREE people, Randy's win and Mania main event made up for it, at least somewhat."
"Very cool main event but those fights were a disaster. Orton was the best in this fight and LA Knight YEAH was the worst.. And Rolins' return was amazing."
[7.0] "Not really sure about the low score here. It was a solid match with good action. My biggest negative for the match is how much Logan Paul got over. Three pins but it was clear that role was meant for Bronson Reed. The overbooking of the end didn't bother me. It's always seen as a negative but sometimes it can push the storylines further. I always treat the elimination chamber as a way to get to Wrestlemania so maybe I just had expectations for it but this pushed a couple of different stories further. Seth getting revenge and Drew's continued interference in the world title picture, especially in Cody's matches. This sets up the future nicely. Wasn't the best elimination chamber match but I thought a solid one."
[2.0] "The men's Elimination Chamber was bad. Got off to a nice start with Cody and Evans squaring off then Trick coming in to rekindle his NXT rivalry with Evans. Logan Paul was clearly the top heel of the match with how much revolved around him and he plays that role very well. Logan eliminates fan favorite Evans, who I felt could have done more. Rough outing for LA Knight as he put in his worst performance in a long time. Knight horribly botched his elbow drop then almost immediately after is pinned by Logan. Trick outside his strong start didn't do much before he's also eliminated by Logan who steals the pin from Cody. So far the match is okay. Then it devolves into overbooked nonsense with so much interference. They do a Masked Man fake out so the real Masked Man can sneak in and reveal himself to be Seth Rollins after he attacks Logan. Then instead of letting Cody and Orton as the final two having a real one on one, there's more interference with Drew coming in to attack Cody. Come on now, this is just stupid. The chamber has been completely devalued with this crap. Orton winning is really underwhelming. Sure, Cody would have been predictable but it would have been logical for the story they've been building up for months. Drew vs Orton is not WrestleMania worthy, give me a break. Nobody believes that's going to be the match and it shouldn't be. 2/10"
[5.0] "Pretty weak chamber match. The action was a lot slower in this match and there were a lot fewer cool spots. It didn't help that this chamber felt a lot more predictable as everyone knew either Cody or Randy was winning. The Seth return didn't hit nearly as hard as it should have either, mostly because of the Bron injury"
[3.0] "Je'Von Evans is a special talent, so easily the MVP of this chamber match, even though he spent the least amount of time. Things fell off as soon as je'von went out. Crowd didn't give a shit anymore, and Logan eliminating everyone was met with silence, the masked man stuff is stupid as well. Then they made Drew look like a geek, again. Awful, the only bright spot is that they went with a shocking winner."
[2.0] "Bottom 3 Chambers of all time, it started fun, but as we have seen for the last year, when the Vision comes the match falls apart, that faction is doomed, the worst wrestler of the match eliminated 3 of the most over acts in the company then we had 3 interferences and in a span of maybe 5 minutes, a decoy masked man, then Rollins and then Drew WHO HAS BEEN FEUDING WITH CODY FOR 6 MONTHS! and they went with the surprise win with Orton, but I think that isn't going to matter because the WWE title match at Mania is either Cody vs Randy, that would mean Drew gets cucked again, Drew vs Cody vs Randy vs Jacob or even a 6-Pack Challenge of Drew vs Cody vs Randy vs Jacob vs Aleister vs Sami, they really had two easy layups to build to Mania, either Randy vs Cody straight up without the never ending feud between Cody and Drew, or Drew vs Sami where Sami finally beats Drew, but they went with the most convoluted way"
[6.0] "Honestly thought this match was going really well until the overbooking occurred. Evans and Williams looked like stars throughout the matchup. Disappointing that LA Knight seemed to have no importance to the match and most notable moment in the match was a botched elbow drop. For a late change Logan Paul getting 3 eliminations was kind of surprising. HOW HARD IS IT TO CLOSE THE CHAMBER DOOR. The Seth spot made a little sense with the masked man distraction but you see a line of refs on the ramp how does Drew get there. Randy winning instead of Cody was surprising to me but tells me Mania will be at least a fatal fourway"
[7.0] "It's hard to fully enjoy LA Knight when on a big match like this, he screws up something as simple as a middle rope elbow drop, if it was Jey Uso, marks would be flooding the comment sections with hate. And speaking of hate, I hate Logan Paul but him playing the heel and trying to score all the eliminations was mildly entertaining, so credit for having me tolerate Logan Paul for once. The reveal of the masked man was cool, even when Heyman said it was Seth Rollins at the Rumble I still think no one expected it but we now have more questions and hopefully we get answers. I mean sure, I'd also try and destroy my faction if it was slowly regressing (even without the injuries) but Seth Rollins was unexpected. McIntyre's interference being stopped was cool but it felt staged. Randy winning was fine, I imagine it will start a feud between him and Cody but it feels less like it happened because of Drew and more because the useless referee's outside just decided to stand like a bunch of fucking statues and leave the door open. But I liked the match, action was decent and there was exciting moments but the score is gonna go lower if the follow up to all this is shit."
"So much hype about "the new era, " and the stipulation ended up meaning nothing. Today's WWE is obsessed with star power as a substitute for actual substance. You put Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, or Logan Paul inside the structure and automatically sell the idea that it's historic. But an Elimination Chamber doesn't become a classic because of the names on the poster -- it becomes a classic because of violence, real drama, a sense of danger, and consequences. And that's exactly what this "safe" version has eliminated. The original Chamber was brutal. In editions like WWE Elimination Chamber 2002 or WWE Elimination Chamber 2010, the structure felt like an industrial prison, with real metal grates, raw chains, and an exposed steel floor. Every hit sounded like a workplace accident. Not anymore. Now the cage has padded platforms, protective coating, a stylized structure, and choreography designed to minimize risk. The men's match wasn't technically bad. It was worse: it was harmless. WWE no longer builds matches to define an era; they build them to avoid risking talent, avoid jeopardizing commercial agreements, avoid disrupting the central WrestleMania narrative, and avoid stepping outside the formula. That turns the Chamber into an annual formality. The problem isn't that it's physically safe. The problem is that it's creatively safe too. It was a boring match, with no impactful moments and nothing memorable."
