[7.0] "Trick was the star. Logan was incredible. Je'Von was "NERVOUS! " Randy was apex. Cody was there, too. I liked the production of this match a lot. (Except for Seth Rollins and the black mask nonsense - which is being ruined by the way). One day Trick has gotta win one of these baddies."
[8.0] "This match was enjoyable, especially in a string of lackluster PLE main events as of late. Je'Von Evans looked legit, and Trick improved upon his disappointing SNME match from recently. The Logan Paul eliminations were a bit much for my tastes (I know they probably were recycling the Bronson Reed plan, but I'm not a fan of Paul's work as of now). The masked man reveal was expected, but I'm happy to see Rollins back, and he presented himself like a star (Heyman also sold it well). The Orton win was refreshing and will make for a nice change of pace at WrestleMania for Drew. Overall, a very solid main event and some good creative choices throughout. Rating: 8/10."
[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] "Das Konzept der Kammer passt einfach nicht mehr in die heutige Zeit, da den Teilnehmern jegliche Härte abgeht. Der Schwachsinn mit den Mystery Men muss aufhören. Das sollte eine der am meisten geschützten und kayfabe-bewahrenden Matchart aller Zeiten sein."
[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] "Man merkt einfach, dass die Chamber aus der Ruthless Agression Era kommt und eine gewisse Härte und Intensität erfordert, damit sie funktioniert. Dazu ist die Sparpower auch nicht durchgängig gegeben, was den Kampf weiter verwässert. Schade. Aber das Finish war interessant. Ich geb gnädigerweise 5 Punkte."
[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] "Das Match war leider ziemlich langweilig. Sehr unspektakulär, keine Härte oder Intensität. Die Eingriffe von dem maskierten Angreifer, welcher sich wenig überraschend als Seth Rollins entpuppt, und Drew McIntyre machen Sinn, hätte ich aber nicht unbedingt gebraucht. Aber so war wenigstens was los."
[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."
[5.0] "I'm often a fan of unexpected results, but now I'm curious to see how they plan to untangle this self-inflicted knot after the show. The match is fine when Logan Paul takes center stage, because he's trying to deliver here, and not just offensively. The reactions to Cody are waning, if you can say that. Meanwhile, LA Knight is giving ammunition to all those who don't see him as top spot material, while Williams and Evans get to enjoy the higher card regions a little. And another masked man is exposed as unknown before Seth Rollins makes a comeback that delivers much less emotions than it could have if staged differently. You really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to squeeze out five points here."
[2.0] "Abysmal, Lazy Booking, and flat-out garbage. I was quite excited for this match as it featured some of the future pieces of the business in Je'Von Evans and Trick Williams, who I thought would have great performances and some lengthy time in this match, but oh, how wrong I was. The match started fun, with Cody Rhodes and Je'Von Evans starting it off. The in-ring action was fun, nothing flashly just trying to weaken each other, with Je'Von Evans displaying some fun offense. Then Mr. Whoop That comes with the crowd roaring he was having a ball with Cody Rhodes then a great call-back to NXT as Je'Von Evans went face-to-face with one of his big-time rivals as they started to duel it out this was a fine start getting two of the young talents going it at with the face of the company but this is when things started turning south I don't know if Logan Paul is just radiate negative energy but once he came into the match it started to reek he was sloppy, and he just tries to spam big-time moves does he know in-ring pysholocy? Like you have to build up to those moments, but he wasn't doing anything good. Mr. LA Knight comes out as he started to get after The Vision's Logan Paul, as he has some unfinished business with the group that took him out for many months. There was a cool spot as Je'Von Evans and LA Knight threw Logan Paul off the top of the pod, but LA Knight hit a sick B.F.T. to Je'Von Evans, which knocked him out. The final entry came in with Randy Orton, the man with the most experience, comes him. Still, before anything, Je'Von Evans hits a Five-Star Splash onto Trick Williams, but Logan Paul hits his finisher; he botched it so bad that he spiked Je'Von Evans onto his neck. Still, he was the first eliminated. Now, here's when things started getting ugly, because creative could've just changed up a lot. Still, nope, they gave everything Bronson Reed was going to do to Logan Paul as he eliminated LA Knight and Trick Williams, as no one gave a reaction. The perception on social media was highly negative; people were irate. The masked man came out, but it was a decoy again. This is probably one of the two good moments from this match. Seth Rollins made his return as he revealed himself as the masked man, with Paul Heyman in disbelief, as Logan Paul was Curb Stomped to be eliminated. But more drama ensued as the WWE Undisputed Champipon Drew McIntyre came and attacked Cody Rhodes with the title but Randy Orton hit an RKO to Drew McIntyre as he told Cody Rhodes to hit a Cross Rhodes then the 2nd best moment of the match occured sneaky Randy Orton hit an RKO out of no where to win the match as he will be chasing his 15th World Title as he defeated Cody Rhodes to go onto WrestleMania. This was flat-out terrible, worse than the 2015 Elimination Chamber Match when Ryback won the WWE Intercontinental Title. Garbage stuff, by Last booking. Can't believe that this company had over 19, 000 in attendance and gave an abysmal show. I'm not surprised, but man, this company has been reeking this year. Not happy with how the young talent was treated, but not happy with how lazy the creative is."
"[2] This is a gimmick match in which the whole point of the chamber is to stop interference- they then proceed to book two run-ins making the entire purpose of the match and gimmick redundant. A completely forgettable elimination chamber match, with no notable spots or stand out individual performances."
[6.0] "This actually started out great with Cody vs JeVon Evans wrestling each other. They two of them are capable of some entertaining stuff and worked well together. However, the second half of this match was a lot of standing around and featured a major botch. The ending was a little overbooked (why are they leaving the cage door open like that? ) resulting in an unexpected finish."
[7.0] "It was a very strange and mysterious fight, it's a shame about Botch LA Knight. Jevon didn't do any acrobatics except for the splash, but RANDY ORTON HELL YEAH, I'm very happy that my favorite fighter won, and of course Seth Rollins who stops Logan Paul's DOMINATION. I have to say about it too, it was unexpected. Overall, this men's fight is, in terms of the first one, 3/4, it's kind of average, but I'm inclined to give it a 7."
[7.0] "I thought this was fun! Not the best match from a technical or narrative perspective, but it didn't really need to be. Trick is awesome, Je'von looked good, LA Knight had a quiet match outside of the trip (Harmless and well recovered, but impossibly funny), but I thought the BFT on top of the pod was a good time, Logan looked strong, although his stuff was clearly meant for Reed, and Cody and Randy were the right final 2 with Randy being an unexpected winner."
[8.0] "Very solid stuff - thought the winner was a bit of a surprise and overall the in ring stuff was decent. Couple botches and another two masked men (which brings our 12 monthly total to around 17 I believe) but not too bad"
[4.0] "Unfortunately, it was full of overbooking and you could tell where it was heading. A truly disastrous ending in my opinion: Rollins vs Vision? Who cares? At best right now we might get Seth vs Logan a predictable outcome and honestly not very interesting, come on. Orton vs Drew at WM? Maybe, but I don't really buy it, especially since we're getting hints of Orton turning heel. The only paths here are either Cody wins the title before WM, or we end up with a banal triple threat. Going back to the match itself, it wasn't bad before the finish, even if the participants weren't exactly exciting and not so much because of Trick and Je'Von, but because they need to be built up before being put in matches of that importance. Anyway, the ending ruins the whole Chamber (and maybe the entire event)."
[8.0] "Für mich das zweitbeste Match bei Elimination Chamber 2026 (***1/2). Randy gewann, Seth war der Maskierte Mann und rächte sich doch sicher für letztes Jahr. Aber es tauchte auch ein anderer auf sicher ein weiterer seiner Schüler. Die haben sicher die Masked Männer gespielt wenn er nicht da war. Das ist nur eine Vermutung aber einer wurde ja als einer seiner Schüler fix bestätigt und indiziert. Es war der in der Friday Night SmackDown Folge am Freitag."
[7.0] "Enjoyed this chamber. Thought it was quite a bit better than the women's to be honest. Not as good as last year. But a very well executed finish. Randy winning was the most obvious option I guess. Let's see how it all goes."
"6/10. Maybe I'm just oblivious but I thought it was okay. Je'von starting out against Cody was a big deal for the Young OG. Things did get a bit dumb later on with Super Logan going on a pinning streak including Je'von, Knight, and Trick (maybe they just gave him Bronson's pins). Eventually we get to the Masked Man business, with (after another decoy) Rollins unmasking after taking him Logan out while Heyman is in shambles. Finally, Drew does his screwiness once more and it leads to Randy getting the rather unexpected win, helping with the chaos going on in the WWE title scene."
[4.0] "Love Trick Williams, He got it. LA Knight always stings, feels like a lost opportunity. Logan i assume is just here for the masked man angle, yet he proves to be . Randy is great in this spot. just be a legend, farm aura and lay down for the newer people. JeVon is destined for greatness. I NEED a good Randy Orton vs JeVon feud were Evans goes over and wins the world title after to take the record! Now i just need 5 minutes of Cody seeling for Evans. well that was not really that good, Cody gave him nothing. Now starts the time where we get the small little moment farming. Trick vs JeVon was very good. A few of these spots seem less exciting as they happened in the womens match aswell. Could have restructured the match. Feels very much like Logan is taking Bronson Reed or Bron Breakker spots. Oh yea that masked man stuff was a big nothing. Cody v Drew is unreal in the negative heat it generates."
[7.0] "Very low rating probably due to the overbooking at the end and Logan Paul eliminating half the guys. Still personally enjoyed the bout as well as the Rollins reveal even though we all knew it was happening. Randy's last RKO is simply magnificent."
[8.0] "Absolutely delivered in the main event tonight and everyone shined with the exception of LA Knight unfortunately and my only issue with the match is that I felt it was a little rushed which is not what I wanted from a 4 match show. Still though very good way to cap the show and the right winner"
[4.0] "I have so many issues with this main event. It's an elimination chamber. Why does it need to be in a cage AT ALL when everyone who wants to can just walk in Willy Nilly and attack anyone? You managed to overbook and put a dozen hats on a hats hat. It was a remarkable f**k up of the concept which rendered it entirely redundant. To make matters worse, every man seemed to have applied copious amounts of lube to their footwear before appearing. The structure of the match was poor, the quality of the work was poor, the storytelling was poor, the build was poor, the choice of participants was poor, the finish was poor, the winner was poor, having Logan Paul in their at all and actively pinning people was poor. In short, this was poor. I can't remember ever being this disappointed so consistently by any wrestling show. The simple question is this. Who wants to see Randy Orton in the main event besides no one? I wouldn't be shocked if the WWE put the belt on Cody before mania. A three way seems inevitable now. Awful match."
[3.0] "This adds a whole new meaning to the term booking backwards, this is not wanting to reach a point and booking the stuff before it to get there. This is booking characters to regress as much as possible while having almost no innovative or exciting action. Elimination Chamber with two (lazy) interference spots is so dumb."
[6.0] "Je'Von and Trick are being pushed too soon, Logan got 3 eliminations for some reason, LA was just there, but at least Cody and Randy's involvement had the most meaning. Randy got the surprise win after some sheaningans, but I believe it's not gonna end up on just Randy vs Drew. Anyway, the EC match lost its truthful meaning a decade ago when the WWE made it a lot safer for the participants. It felt like a TV main event six pack match rather than the Elimination Chamber match. It wasn't boring, just the violence and the grit was non-existent"
[2.0] "Ich bin bei diesem Match doch sehr negativ! Der Matchfluss war nicht besonders hoch. Das Match an sich war meiner Meinung nach eher langweilig. Die Highspots waren rar gesät, wirkten recht konstruiert und waren dabei nicht mal all zu sehenswert. Und dann ja das Overbooking. Ich fühlte mich, wie in eine andere Zeit versetzt."
[2.0] "Un horrible chamber en sachant que de base le match n'était pas spécialement excitant , la seul chose à retenir du match c'est le retour de Seth sinon il n'y a absolument rien de marquant on aurait pu faire le même match en weekly sans stiuplation cela aurait donné la même chose. Personne n'a rayonné hors mis Logan à qui on donne la moitié des éliminations , le in-ring fut très moyen avec de beaux botchs bref un très mauvais match."
[9.0] "I thought that this was a very good match. Every participant shined, the spots were fun and I added a point for the final RKO, a beautiful set-up. I liked the match. Je'Von Evans was cool, hopefully he isn't hurt (or isn't hurt badly, at least). Trick Williams also had a great showing. LA Knight had an unfortunate slip on the top rope, but other than that had a nice couple of spots. Cody looked great, the fact that his story to WM is not that stream-lined is interesting to see. And great to see Orton keeping up with the youths and having great crowd reactions."
[2.0] "46 year old Randy Orton gets a win he doesn't need in a match that was sloppy and boring. Logan Paul was made to look like Brock Lesnar which does nothing for everyone involved. If anyone thought Trick Williams was going to get better treatment than any other NXT call up or new signing then their disappointment will continue. This felt so much like 1999-2000 WCW."
[8.0] "Enjoyed this a lot, Logan Paul had a great showing outside of the botch, there was a lot going on all match and we finally have the true masked man revealed as Seth Rollins to the surprise of no one! Orton winning is the right call as McIntyre needs a big opponent who isn't Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania"
[3.0] "Starten tun hier Cody und Je'Von, danach kommt Trick Williams. Die drei im Rang machen schon Spaß. Es folgen Logan Paul und LA Knight, Yeah. Und zum Schluss noch Orton. Als erstes wird Evans eliminiert. Knight botcht dann gewaltig und Logan Paul eliminiert ihn. Und danach auch noch Trick Williams. Das ist alles sehr unspektakulär. Plötzlich klettert ein maskierten Mann die Chamber hoch. Er wird demaskiert und ich kenne ihn nicht. Was eine bullshit Storyline! Die Tür zur Chamber ist offen und noch ein Masken Mann kommt rein, wodurch Logan Paul eliminiert wird. Der Masken Mann ist Seth Rollins. Aber hey, wir sind noch nicht fertig! Die Tür zur Chamber ist immer noch offen, McIntyre kommt rein und attackiert Cody. Randy Orton gibt beiden einen RKO und gewinnt. Was für eine overbookter Quatsch! (* 1/2)"
[5.0] "What an underwhelming Chamber match. The action is uninteresting, the spots are lackluster, you get Je'Von doing gymnastics out there, nothing hits, and I just didn't care. Well, at least until the masked man attacks Logan and is revealed to be Seth, which is a pretty awesome moment. Then the officials forget to do their job and let the Chamber open for some reason, only for Drew to get involved, Randy and Cody to team up for a brief moment before Randy pulls the trigger instantly, and the execution of that finishing sequence is immaculate. The late drama actually saves this from being a total disaster. ***"
[8.0] "I see many people hating on this, and I can understand their perspective. Paul eliminated half the participants, and the last two eliminations occurred because of outside interference. But those are actually the reasons that I enjoyed this match. More specifically, while I hated seeing LA Knight being the second elimination, I thoroughly enjoyed the return of Rollins and also the unexpected Orton victory after Drew attacked Cody. Let's hope that we get a four way with the three of them and also Fatu at Mania. If that happens, everything that took place tonight will have been worth it."
[6.0] "To really cap off a mediocre show we get a mediocre Elimination Chamber match. This wasn't unwatchable but it bears many of the same characteristics of the Extreme Elimination Chamber of 2006. Some solid ring work in brief bursts, bogged down by some seriously bad botches and out of place to straight up bad booking. First off I thought Je'Von Evans and Trick Williams really stepped up and were probably the best parts of the match bar Je'Von's awful BFT on the top the pod which wasn't really his fault, more just a spot that was never gonna work. LA Knight was mostly good but that BFT spot plus his botched elbow drop really left a stain on his whole performance unfortunately. Logan Paul actually had a good showing, being a fun punching bag, timing his moments well and garnering monster heat eliminating most of the field which honestly was pretty great booking if it was leading to something interesting like a match with Je'Von but that seems like an afterthought for creative. Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes were good hands but super safe picks for the match and having them go to the final two was pretty underwhelming to me especially given the circumstances. Now the interference. As well designed as the Seth Rollins return was it was entirely too predictable and much like the rest of the booking of this show, will more than likely lead to a match at Wrestlemania that I have no interest in. Then there was Drew McIntyre who came in after the fact to prevent Cody from winning which despite Cody and Randy's collaboration was still the end result. Randy winning is fine I guess, it wasn't the most obvious but it's far from interesting. In a vacuum this was ok but I'm mostly sour on this looking at the bigger picture and that's this matches biggest downfall. Last year's Elimination Chamber matches made Wrestlemania a must see show and this has me really questioning why I should give a fuck about the biggest show of the year"
"[[6/10]] This was so close to being a banger; unfortunately, it dropped the ball at multiple key moments, rushed through its high spots diminishing the overall impact of each individual moment, and lacked polish. Now given the stipulation it could be argued it doesn't need to feel polished and fine, but for the ideas for match was attempting to execute it needed refinement. The ideas here are great (or at least the best solutions to bad ideas already initiated), however, when we're never given time to breathe or take in the multiple interferences (all getting in functionally the same way) it become trope-a-holic. A lot to enjoy and it's definitely worth a watch, but them taking the 5 way at mania route felt like the perfect decision, now they just need to actually try to produce an entertaining product instead of doing 20 minutes of wrasslin then 5 minutes of Paul time bookaggedon."
[3.0] "[*1/2] Might go down as THE WORST chamber match of all time in terms of in ring. Sloppy, boring and totally uninteresting. Logan Paul eliminates 3 guys. I appreciate the pivot with Jey Uso, and I understand the Bronson injury messed it up but at this point I don't appreciate the pivot. Logan also drops Je'Von on his head during the Pulveriser. Yikes. The interferences (damn why does EVERY chamber match nowadays end with interferences) somewhat saved the show. Rollins (surprise surprise) was the mystery man. Cody lost this match but IMMEDIATELY gets a world title match on smackdown. What a crappy match, totally deflating. Congrats Orton, you deserve it."
[3.0] "Not a good match at all. The spots were clunky, there were many botches, pacing was off and nobody stuck out in this match. I can't tell you one cool, or memorable in-ring spot that occurred during here, it was a disaster from start to finish. The only thing I looked forward to, was seeing Orton and Cody as the final two, knowing that both these men are going to end up in the main event of Mania night 1 anyway, but maybe we could get some teasing from Orton of a punt kick with a heel turn, maybe see a different side of Cody that we're not used to seeing, some solid in-ring action between the two... but no, it was thwarted in 30 seconds by the most frustrating and repetitive booking of Drew Mcintyre interference. ZERO STORY. The only attempt at storytelling was the Rollins spot which yes FINALLY HE'S BACK, and WWE deperately need him back, but the spot was just overbooked, just have him come out... please..... we don't need multiple swerves when we all know it's Rollins. The Paul eliminations were distasteful, LA Knight will never be taken seriously, Je'Von and Trick were afterthoughts, Cody looks like a loser, (yet now gets a title shot Friday, Super Cody lol) the only real winner here is Randy who is pretty clearly going heel anyways. Mess of a match."
[4.0] "A very lacklustre Elimination Chamber match. Besides the obvious Seth Rollins reveal and the not so obvious Randy Orton win... There was just no heat? The crowd was dead, Logan Paul eliminates 3 people for some reason (too lazy to rebook the Bronson spot) and there was just no tempo or excitement throughout. A Frog Splash off of the pod got zero crowd noise, hello? Worst match of the night, nothing terrible by any means, but okay at best."
[3.0] "Bad and disappointing are the main words that can describe this. The only positives I took away from this match was the winner being Randy, and everything involving JeVon and Trick. Otherwise, the main actual meat of the match was bad. LA Knight sadly had a bad botch. They had Logan Paul eliminate three of the most over guys in the company. This was followed up with the masked man angle with Seth being revealed as Logans attacker. I dont mind Seth. It is nice to see him back, but his inevitable return really didnt do anything to help the match in my opinion. It was a cool moment I guess, but it doesnt take away from the rest of the match being bad. The finish was what you would expect. I am not docking anything away because of the finish because it is clear that they are doing a multi man of some sort at mania. Some variation of Randy vs Drew vs Cody, with Jacob Fatu most likely in it. Overall, crap match. I dont get what Triple H sees in Logan Paul to have him eliminate everyone like that."
[4.0] "Yet another run of the mill chamber. Although it made sense for the masked man to interfere, pretty much all of the last 4 men's chamber matches saw interferences decide the match, which really has become very annoying. Having Logan Paul get almost all of the eliminations AND it took interference just for him to get eliminated is stupid to me. He's not a star and WWE should stop trying to make him one. Randy winning was a great choice however, and is probably the only thing I really liked about the match."
[4.0] "Middling Chamber match. Too much door open shenanigans for my taste. Funny how the big return in this match was, physically, so obviously that person. The action had fine pace, but multiple distractingly poor moments hurt the match and there were no real big time noteworthy spots imo. I wasn't expecting the winner, which helped the match since I am fine with it. A couple of eliminations felt flat. Overall this Chamber was somewhat interesting in the moment, but in the end I was just kinda "eh" about it. Didn't make me any more interested in things and didn't offput me at all."
[6.0] "bad booking really bad booking didn't enjoy Logan Pauls involvement he got rid of half the people and was only announced the day before, was stupid. No point of the chamber either as there were no real spots apart from Je'Von jumping off and even that felt lacklustre. It got better when Drew and Seth interfered and had me hyped, im glad cody didn't win. Love him but he doesn't need this. The wrestling itself was also poor with a few botches and awkward moments"
[7.0] "As a multi man this was okay, as a chamber it wasn't my favorite. I was mostly entertained by Jevons offense and the novelty of Trick in this situation. Asides the bft on the chamber this wasn't too memorable in terms of in-ring. This did pack a bit of drama. 1st was the Seth Rollins interference which I actually thought was well done with the initial decoy sent while the chamber was open. This added to the match for me and made some sense of the masked men angle. That being said, I didn't appreciate the Drew interference. That's overcooking it imo but I guess that's what was required for an Orton win in their eyes. 3.5*"
[5.0] "Whoever is responsible for having the last second pick Logan Paul eliminate 3 people in a row, possibly injuring Jevon's neck in the process needs to have their writing capabilities to be stripped as soon as possible. Before that string of events happened, this match actually was kinda going interesting. Given Rhea winning the previous chamber, I really just wanted Cody to not win so I guess not but the main reason is I don't think every Mania needs Cody in a title match, especially if Roman's going to have the other men's title match. But I mean Randy's chill, it's nice for him to win, though I really can't pretend to care about the most obvious return of all time in Seth. I guess it could be worse, the winner could've been Paul that would've really just turned this into nothing for me. But honestly the second Je'von went out the way he did (and then Knight? ), they lost me and I was never really pulled back in"
[4.0] "The only reason I am not giving this a 3/10 is because at certain points it was so bad that it actually made me laugh, especially near the end. Early on, though, the match felt boring and sluggish. Unfortunately, it also felt like the moment was too big for Je'Von, who looked very green inside the Chamber, with a few near botches and a clear gap in technical ability compared to Cody. Trick Williams had similar struggles, minus the botches, but he often seemed confused rather than outright bad. Cody at times looked like he was struggling to build chemistry with both Trick and Je'Von. Then we get to Logan Paul, which is where the match genuinely became funny to me. Giving three eliminations to someone who was not even announced for the match two days earlier felt ridiculous, especially when it was clearly done just to set up the masked reveal. Unsurprisingly, the mystery man turned out to be Seth Rollins, which felt incredibly obvious from the start. The final two being Cody and Randy was also completely predictable. Drew snuck in, Randy hit an RKO on him, Cody followed with Cross Rhodes to Drew, and then Randy immediately hit a RKO on Cody to win. Overall, the match dragged badly at times, with long stretches where very little happened. The only real saving grace was that parts of it were so unintentionally ridiculous that they became entertaining in a comedic way. No truly memorable moments came out of this match, and it honestly might be one of the weakest Elimination Chamber matches ever. The only reason it scores as high as it does for me is because it was so stupid that it ended up being funny."
[2.0] "Horrible match. The chamber feels non existent. Truly other than the Jevon spot the chamber had no effect on the match. Now even the worse bit, why the hell is Logan eliminating half of the contestants? Then that wasn't enough let's do TWO RUN IN SPOTS. The painfully boring Masked Seth angle and then the same angle we've seen for the last month with Drew. Who cares. Who could possibly care. How does this make us care about the mania build and the actual mania title match. 1/5."
[6.0] "The male chamber is average. The beginning was nevertheless not bad with good wrestling but from the elimination of Evan's, everything was rushed. Seeing Logan Paul being highlighted with 3 eliminations when it was an opportunity to highlight Trick Williams is not good. The positive points are the feedback from Rollins which costs the chamber to Paul and Orton who takes advantage of Drew to put a RKO on Cody to win the match. I didn't expect to see Orton win this match but for me it won't be Drew/Orton but a multi-person match because Drew cost the match to Cody and Fatu."
[6.0] "Most people will complain about the run-ins and interferences, but they have always been an integral element of WWE's style of storytelling, and I thought these were well executed. What brings down my rating is how fast Je'Von, Trick and Knight were eliminated without too much time to shine."
[9.0] "This match was something else. It was really good, but the final few moments of this match were fucking insane. Trick delivers a fucking stiff and loud backhand to Je'Von, I mean holy shit. Logan getting jumped by Cody, Je'Von, & Trick was amazing. Then bullshit started happening. Je'Von splash from top of the pod was amazing, but was ruined immediately when Logan attacked him and eliminated him. Knight missing his elbow sucked, but Logan eliminating him after giving him a low-blow pissed me off. Two back-to-back horrible eliminations, Logan pinning Trick after Cody hit him with a cross-rhodes was fucking stupid and infuriating. The mask man helping Cody take out Paul was great, but, what made it better was the mask man turned out to be Seth Rollins, I lost my mind when it was revealed to be him. The final few moments were fucking insane with Drew coming in trying to mess things up, only to get attacked by Randy and Cody, Randy immediately hit him with the RKO to win the chamber match, simply amazing."
[6.0] "What a let down. Could've been decent but...eh.... 3 interferences, two masked men and drew. LA Knight being too slow and botching, Randy Orton being good but sticking to the script TOO much thus, exposing its fakeness. Cody, trick, and Ishowspeed were just there.... Logan Paul + Paul Heyman somehow carried this match."
[5.0] "This match was extremely mid. LA Knight's botch wasn't great. The performances weren't anything too crazy. The only good parts about the match are Seth Rollins unmasking, and Randy Orton winning. Randy winning was the best idea, and I love it so much. 5/10."
[7.0] "Both chamber matches seemed to be lacking tonight. The difference with this one is that the winner was a bit of a surprise. There were some fun spots, such as Logan Paul getting thrown off of his pod and Seth Rollins being revealed as the masked man. But Drew McIntyre is the most unintentionally hilarious heels in recent years, getting involved in everything and trying to shape his own match for mania. I was sure Cody would win, but I was wrong."
[3.0] "The only reason this isn't getting rated at a 1 for me is because the ending was actually very good. The match structure as a whole was beyond terrible. Logan Paul shining is inexcusable, the whole masked man story is extremely dumb, and the match itself just felt very slow and boring. Feels like no spots really happened and there was just no grit whatsoever. The ending, however, was very good. Orton winning after capitalizing on Cody being vulnerable, the same thing Cody did to Sami weeks ago, was very good storytelling. If anything, Orton winning really adds much needed life to the Cody/McIntyre/Fatu story."
[4.0] "Why the fuck were the entrances longer than the damn match? ! And I actually can't believe another overbooked ending. Logan Paul hit a fucking insane Omega Driver-ish thing on Je'von. LA Knight tripped right on his big moment (and then gets eliminated right after). Seth returns (ok). But, having said that, Randy winning got me marking tf out. Great decision. I hope he wins it at WM. P.S: You know what? Yeah, this was shit. [4.5/10]"
[7.0] "This was a lot of fun for the first 20 minutes. Jay Malachi, Cody Rhodes and Trick Williams section of the match especially. Cody using his epxerience to hang with the uber athletic youngsters was fun. Helps when said youngsters are two of the most athletic people to step in a wrestling ring. In the moment, I thought it strange to leave Randy till the last entrant. Seemed like he would be a good guy to run and pace the match. Now that I know the finish I understand, but I also kinda don't. I'm very hopeful for Randy vs Drew but after seeing Roman win the Rumble, and Rhea win the chamber I was hoping for some new star to catch an upset win in this match. Also, I want to cheer LA Knight so bad but he makes it so hard. Good match, lots of fun moves and spots, but man that finish was soooo dragged out. Fuck the Vision. Shitty ahh faction. If it aint Seth vs Bron Breakker I don't care."
[3.0] "Man, that was tough. In a match where there's supposed to be no outside interference, Seth manages to mess with the match again. Regarding the match, having Trick and Je'Von in the main event just a few months after their rise to the main roster is insane, and they were clearly one of the highlights of the match. Randy's victory was the right decision. Aside from that, it was a boring match, and LA Knight's botch and Logan almost breaking Je'Von's neck with that Paulverizer were extremely negative points. I hope Je'Von is okay."
[7.0] "This was the best match of the night which still isn't saying much but at least this was entertaining and had a story going through the match. Seth being revealed as the Masked Man was very predictable and Drew showing up at the end was good. Randy wanting to go to Mania to get his 15th title was at least a good motive for him wanting to win. "
[2.0] "One of the worst chamber matches of all time. The match was centered around Logan Paul and the crowd didn't care a single bit. Sadly there were a lot of botches as well and it ruined the flow of the match. The masked man reveal was obvious and Seth vs either of the vision guys doesn't sound Wrestlemania worthy"
[4.0] "Seriously one of the worst Elimination Chambers I've seen in the existence of it's concept. This was truly a laughable attempt at a Chamber. 3 Logan Paul eliminations, Drew and Seth interferences and a crowd that were in crickets for 1/2 the match. Truly a novelty watch here. At least Randy won I guess! [**.25]"
[4.0] "The men's Elimination Chamber match was predictably weaker than the women's, largely due to the specific storytelling on the level of "LOL LMAO LOGAN PAUL STOLE THE PIN", and the culmination of the masked man storyline happening right here. And while I understand that Rollins is primarily taking revenge on Heyman, it's still funny, because Logan Paul has absolutely nothing to do with this whole situation. Otherwise, everything was very weak, unimpressive spots, the worst elimination methods, Je'Von delivered the most uncreative OMG moment possible, which literally looked weaker than his usual stuff. The finish is notable only in the sense that Orton used Cody's logic against him, and that will probably lead to Cody, Zayn, and Fatu joining the title program. Otherwise, it was a mediocre match (**1/4)."
