[10.0] "Incredible show, one of the best non big 4 ppv's ever, women's chamber was far better than the women's rumble and Bianca and Liv were great in that match, Trish and Tiffy against Nia and Candice isn't as bad as people say it was cool seeing Trish and Tiffany, Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn was the match of the night and was one of the best of the entire year. The chamber match main event was one of my favorite chamber matches ever and had the right result and a great finish. The post match segment is the most legendary segment ever with the Cena heel turn still my favorite moment of the year by far."
HeyyItsKris wrote on 01.12.2025:
[7.0] "A decent show with a two good, but passable Chamber matches, a filler tag team match and an absolute classic Unsanctioned match that lived up to everyone's high expectations. John Cena turning hell was the icing on the cake and an all-time great moment, despite how abysmal the heel turn was booked in retrospect."

[10.0] "This was probably WWE's best show of 2025 so far. Every match, except the women's tag team match, delivered at a very high level. The icing on the cake was the segment where Cena turned heel -- an iconic moment that will remain etched in wrestling history. A show that people will still be watching 10+ years from now."

[9.0] "Overall, this event delivered a strong and highly entertaining night of wrestling. The card featured a great mix of intense action, compelling storytelling, and a big-match atmosphere that kept the crowd invested. The major matches stood out with high drama and memorable moments, while the pacing of the show ensured there were no dull stretches. Even if not every bout reached the same level, the energy in the arena and the quality of the key performances made it a memorable show worth revisiting."

[10.0] "I have no complaints about a 4 match card when 3 of the matches are fantastic as they are here. Even the popcorn "let me up" match with Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus taking on Nia Jax & Candy LeRoux isn't bad for what it is. 2 of the more memorable Elimination Chamber matches as of recent. Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair & John Cena and CM Punk were the standouts of their respective matches. The Owens Zayn match isn't my type of thing but again not bad. The angle that ends the show is an all timer."

[9.0] "One of the best PLEs i've ever watched. Great match quality, and cena's heel turn was insane. I must say, it didn't age so well seeing as how they've fumbled cena's heel run, but at the time it was the stuff of legend"

[7.0] "Three great matches included a MOTY contender and a brilliant angle at the end make this one of HHH's best shows ever, let down only by the completely unnecessary tag match in the middle that did nothing for anyone. Why that couldn't have been swapped for something with a hotter feud I'll never know."

[10.0] "Tiffany and Trish Vs Nia and Candice was weak, but the women's chamber match was fantastic, the men's chamber match and the returns of Jade Cargill and Randy Orton were all absolutely brilliant, Owens Vs Zayn unsanctioned was really phenomenal, the Toronto crowd was red hot and the show's closing segment with John Cena's heel turn was just god tier perfection and will live forever in history. Overall WWE Elimination Chamber (2025) is a really phenomenal show and one of, if not, the best WrestleMania build up show ever thanks to it's in ring product, storytelling, big surprises and closing angle."
Alton wrote on 14.07.2025:
[7.0] "(6.8) Solid event but the first two matches brought the quality of the show down noticably. The unsanctioned match was good and the main event was decent as well. Cenas heel turn was crazy but slightly ruined by Travis Scott awkwardly standing in the background. The commentary throught the event was shockingly bad as well, McAfee further proving why he is one of the worst commentators of all time after he couldnt keep his mouth shut during cenas heel turn instead deciding to do a fucking play by play, and him bringing up the national anthem booing like 3 times was annoying af. The amount of ads on the show wasnt great either."

[9.0] "WWE's Elimination Chamber 2025 ends up being one of the best WWE shows I've seen. Both chambers delivered in their own ways. Every match served a purpose to help storylines move along and grow. From beginning to end I was blown away by this show. The big highlight here being John Cena turning heel for the first time since 2003. An insane visual that left me shell shocked. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. So much storytelling throughout this show and this PPV made me excited for the Mania Season. WHAT a FUCKING SHOW! This regained my trust for the Mania season. The only gripe I had with this one was the tag team match which felt pointless. Overall, this was an excellent show and I can't wait to see what happens on RAW. [****1/2]"
TPG wrote on 07.07.2025:
[9.0] "It was an excellent show. I think if I was just basing this score off the matches it might be an 8/10 or something below that, but the ending angle with John Cena attacking Cody Rhodes to align with The Rock was so brilliant that it boosts the score. An angle like that to end the show isn't the kind of thing you can do very often. I think it felt like a big deal and a historic moment. As I said in the review, everybody involved in it did a great job. The match quality was strong throughout the show. I rated the Owens/Zayn match the highest because it was the kind of chaotic brawl I expected it to be. There were a few dangerous bumps. They are also best friends who trust each other and I think they should be proud of the match they had. The Men's Chamber match was better than the Women's Chamber match in my eyes especially when it got down to that Cena-Punk-Rollins showdown. Rollins screwing Punk sets them up for WrestleMania while Cena capitalized to win. The women's match was really about Belair and Morgan. Belair winning was the right call. Good stuff with Jade Cargill coming back to go after Naomi too. As for that women's tag, it was just an average in this era of WWE although I thought Tiffany Stratton definitely stood out."

[9.0] "So let's start off by saying this is by far the best elimination chamber ppv to ever exist lol, that's not a contest obviously. But wow I'm so glad wwe took the less is more model with this ppv, because man did it ever work. The John cena heel turn at the end of the show was like icing on the cake. Best ppv since Wrestlemania 40 and one of the best ppv's of Wwe's history for that matter. Glad I got this live"

[9.0] "A very good show with 2 great chamber matches and a final angle that will live on forever (despite Travis Scott). Sami vs KO was brutal and made KO look like prime ROH Kevin Steen. While the tag match was clearly just there for Trish, it wasn't bad at all. The final segment was amazing and was actually shocking."

[8.0] "I'm mainly adding this review so that I can rate other things on here in the future but this was one of the first PLEs I've watched since dipping my toe back into wrestling and from what I remember of the show, it was pretty good and enjoyable to watch, even with an admittedly weak point with the women's tag team match. Both elimination chamber matches were great and it may be an unpopular opinion but I think I preferred the women's elimination chamber to the men's, at least in terms of spots and in ring wrestling. Jade's attack on Naomi at the start of the match was a great way to kick-start that rivalry. I wish Bayley and Roxanne got to interact more in the match with one potentially eliminating the other but the match was still really good and fun to watch regardless, especially when the likes of Liv and Bianca were putting in great performances to sell the Jade angle as well as the whole match. The men's elimination chamber match is a bit less memorable to me but from what I remember it was still good, especially with the final two being Punk and Cena, and it was the post-match angle of Cena's heel turn that really sold it because that was a well done and deserved moment, even with Travis Scott randomly being there and not really adding anything to the segment. The unsanctioned match between Owens and Zayn was also good and the story of the two refusing to give up so as to not let the other win no matter how badly they were hurt was sold really well. The only real 'low' point of the night was the women's tag team match between Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus vs Nia Jax and Candice LeRae mainly because it felt like it didn't serve much of a reason for being there, especially in the build up to Tiffany and Charlotte at Mania. It was cool to see Trish and it's also great to be reminded she can still go in the ring but I think this match would have been better if it had been simply a title match between Tiffany and Nia, that way giving Tiffany a successful defense and some momentum before Mania as well as a decisive win over Nia to end out that storyline following the cash-in. Despite this, it was still a good match and its cool to see LeRae get a spot on a PLE at least."

[9.0] "One of the best PLE's I've watched, both chamber matches were fantastic, the unsanctioned match was sensational and the fun tag was nice for Trish in Canada, the only real gripes I have with the show is the finish to the women's chamber, I wouldn't have had Belair and Morgan as the final 2 as I had 0 belief that Liv was ever going to win this, and someone like Alexa or Roxanne would have made it more intense but that is nitpicky, awesome show with the biggest heel turn of all time!"
maaxon wrote on 14.04.2025:
[8.0] "The MVPs of this event: Kevin Owens, John Cena, Liv Morgan. All three of them are such stars. The Women's Chamber was very fun, especially since this started the return of Jade Cargill and opened up the storyline with her and Naomi that I'm so excited about. Bianca winning made sense, and even with a predictable-ish end this was still very good. The women's tag team was a completely useless match outside of the fact of them wanting Trish repping for Canada, or something... why couldn't it have just been a rematch between Nia and Tiffany for the women's title, especially since we now know Nia has NO plans for WrestleMania? K.O. vs. Sami is, as predicted, the match of the night. I honestly don't ever wish for matches to be more brutal or bloody, but I do think when you have barbed wire and an unsanctioned match, we could've seen it be more visually impactful. Outside of that though, easy 10/10 match. The men's chamber was also great, outside of the fact that Logan is still being shoved down our throats. If you want an obnoxious heel to build up, why not put in Dominik or Melo instead? Still a great match with an iconic heel turn from Cena. Will probably be a top-tier event for WWE this year."

[8.0] "This was a really fun show, two epic chamber matches and Kevin and Samis brutal unsanctioned match all were fun to watch, and the crowd seemed really into it as well. Cena turned heel at the end of the show, making history."

[9.0] "The only grievance here is the tag team encounter but the remainder was nothing short of extraordinary. The women's chamber match was lots of fun, the men's chamber match was incredible and the unsanctioned match was unbelievable top-tier content. The most important moment however and I think I can speak for everyone else was Cena's heel turn which marks a tectonic shift in WWE history. They pulled the trigger at last and it means so much more now. Two decades as a face and now finally he turns heel. That was monumental at the very least. No words could do justice to what I saw."

JordanLC96 wrote on 29.03.2025:
[7.0] "Overall Elimination Chamber was a good PPV event with 2 great matches, an excellent closing angle but on a whole could have been much better. The Women's elimination chamber, while not bad, was just a bit of a boring match - outside of Jade Cargill attacking Naomi at the beginning of the match I can't remember anything else major that happened, in a 29-minute match that's not a good sign. Women's tag match frankly was completely skippable. The match of the night, easily, was Owens Vs Zayn. This is one of my favourite wrestling feuds of all time and whenever they have a match against each other it always delivers, this was no exception. One negative would be that it took a while to get going (a common theme on this show) but once it got going this was a great unsanctioned match and another great match between the two! This was also the match that the crowd started to get involved. The men's chamber match was really good, again the first half felt a bit slow but once the eliminations stared happening this picked up into a great match. And then the ending was perfect for its audience and felt like a major moment in WWE history. My biggest issues with this show was the pacing - a common issue - with so much time between matches and matches taking such a long time to get going. Also, I felt like the commentary was noticeably irritating and took me out a lot of the big moments. (7/10)"

[8.0] "Overall an exceptional show, both chamber matches were great, the unsanctioned match was great, the tag match was whatever, and the segment at the end was historic. Really love the direction this promotion has gone in since Triple H has taken full control of the company. MVP of the show goes to CM Punk for being a force in the chamber match and I think really doing a phenomenal job tipping over the first domino that would lead to Cena's heel turn after the main event."

[9.0] "This was a fantastic show with the majority of the show being absolutely amazing in-ring wise. But that last segment, was game changing, and will go down in history as one of the greatest segments in wrestling history. Cody is now the biggest baby face in WWE, Cena turned his back and aligned with The Rock, turning heel in the process, overall such an amazing night for pro wrestling and one of WWEs best PLE's in history."
WAKA Flockanoku wrote on 18.03.2025:
[6.0] "I typically rate shows for the matches rather than any promo segments, but I do make exceptions from time to time. Here, I feel like it's worth mentioning that I felt mostly indifferent to the big Cena heel turn. Cool that it happened I suppose, but I do kinda feel like it's past the time it would be interesting to me and that the story to get here has been (or at least felt like) a directionless mess where the Rock just does whatever he wants to week to week and they make a story out of it. Also Travis Scott being involved at all felt very silly and stupid. Overall though I don't hate it, I just don't feel particularly strongly about it either way. That being said the rest of the show was mostly fine, with the only exception being a very strong opening match. The women's chamber match honestly saved the show for me as everything after it felt pretty disappointingly mediocre to me. Nothing truly egregious, but a show that I would overall find very forgettable if it had not been for the opening match and closing segment. [MOTN: Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Naomi vs. Roxanne Perez]"

"Sami/KO is a WWE MOTY contender, the Mens Chamber was really good (fueled by the Cena/Punk nostalgia but alas), and a Top 3 heel turn in wrestling history. Top 3 non Big-4 PLE under HHH reign"
Peterman wrote on 16.03.2025:
"3 great matches and one of the greatest angles of all time. I just wish this new era had better pacing and fit more on the PPVs. This show with a few more good to great undercard matches couldve been a genuine all-timer. 9/10"
tlaustin wrote on 16.03.2025:
[7.0] "By keeping the card tight and the stakes high for nearly every match, this ended up being quite a nice event. I'm a jaded spectator when it comes to WWE, and while I think the only thing here that was truly ground breaking had nothing to do with in ring action (which, you know, sucks for me, a fan of wrestling) this was a easily watchable and fun event that stands as one of the better elimination chambers that have happened to date. Owens/Zayn is probably the match of the night."
SuperCrazy wrote on 16.03.2025:
[7.0] "Overall a fine show with a great unsanctioned match. The commentary, especially from Pat McAfee, was very porous throughout the night. The Cena heel turn was a good swerve but having The Rock go on a press conference an hour later going "Yeah that was a great angle right? This is how we got it to go down" kills kayfabe and is very lame to me."

[6.0] "I can't fully accept the rating people gave the Cage Match and Meltzer. If we were to compare it to recent shows, it was truly an event that could be given an 8 or higher. But overall, this event had many minor and major problems, but of course its good points outweighed its bad points. The women's tag team match is a candidate for worst match of the year. The women's Elimination Chamber match is a weak one. Sami and Kevin is interesting, but due to errors in the script, it can't be given a full score. Randy's return and the heel turn on Cena was interesting, and the men's Chamber match was acceptable."

[7.0] "Two good chamber matches, a very good Owens/Zayn match (although I could have done without all the extra handwringing at commentary) and a fun twist at the end. After looking back a week later though, Cena's heel turn feels more like a sugar rush and now that the initial excitement has leveled a bit, I think it's clear that Kofi and Xavier's heel turn a couple months ago was a much more genuine article."
AbeLincoln wrote on 12.03.2025:
[8.0] "Despite only 4 matches on the card, 3 of them were very good. The tag-match was only okay but the two cage matches each ran at a decent pace and were interesting throughout, with Liv Morgan and CM Punk being the standouts in each. The Unsanctioned Match had too many false finishes for me, but overall was a deliberately unpleasant to watch. It did the job to end the feud and Orton's return was a nice surprise to me. The 'main event' was a real swerve, I was sure that whoever won the chamber was going to have working with The Rock but though I was wrong when Cena had his hand raised, how wrong I was. A real surprise heel turn that will only raise the interest in Cena's final run."
Rosya wrote on 12.03.2025:
[8.0] "The same scenario as the Rumble got. 3 out of 4 matches and good, another one, I mean women's tag team action, is adequate at best. Frankly talking, women's EC match was better, for me. I didn't except Bianca win that match as well as I've never wished her fight against Jade Cargill at WM. I thought Bianca would still in tag team division, but she won and goes at WM, which is probably a good decision. Jade's comeback was also unexpected, especially how she did it. Naomi got Bobby Lashley 2022 booking. Cargill could have attacked Liv Morgan to help Bianca, althought Jade, maybe, didn't think of it at that moment. Owens and Zayn encounter is supposed to be a five-star match, but I don't think so. Pretty good match, but I didn't feel it was unsanctioned. There're a lot of details to be involved to make the rivalry interesting, as well as the match overall, but it was just a no DQ match. It's not unsanctioned. CM Punk and Seth Rollins were MVPs of EC match. Punk was probably even better. John Cena won, which is a right decision, but I hoped Cena and Punk would face each other at WM for the first time, as it the last Cena's year to wrestle. And Cena turned heel was also unexpected, but I'm not a huge fan of this idea. Turning heel at the end of your career doesn't sound like something promissing. And I'm sure Cena will turn face in autumn or December, so this heel turn doesn't seem to be necessary. As the moment it was cool, OK"

[5.0] "This was just a completely run of the mill show to me, with an admittedly hot closing segment. Two forgettable elimination chambers that had absolutely nothing that stood out as something that would shorten anyone's career as they keep insisting these matches do. The unsanctioned match was good but again, hardly something that will go down as overly violent as they advertised (and the commentators insisted it was). The elimination chamber format is so overdone at this point that it doesn't feel special or dangerous at all. 5/10"

"[8.0] A fantastic show, with some slight hiccups. The women's Chamber match wasn't super great. I did find it a little odd that Bianca went from being an emotional wreck over Jade attacking Naomi to winning the entire thing. Hopefully it works out in her favor, since it didn't *feel* like she needed to win, given that she's now given a fresh storyline anyway. The tag match was very forgettable. I was genuinely surprised they let the hometown hero (Trish) go over in their hometown for once, but Nia Jax continues to show she's just so uncoordinated in both delivering moves and selling. KO vs Sami was as wild and brutal as everyone expected it to be, and then some. The men's Chamber match was good, especially the callbacks to both Seth and Drew absolutely hating Punk with a fiery vengeance, and Cena and Punk having a couple bromance moments after so long of not having a match together. The ending segment has been talked about to death by this point, and it'll certainly go down as a huge memorable moment. Just keep Travis Scott away from wrestling from now, eh?"

[9.0] "This is without a doubt a contender for show of the year! It was filled with exciting matches and a great heel turn that has rocked the wrestling world! The Women's Elimination Chamber match (****1/2) - The match was off to a great start with Jade Cargill returning and attacking Naomi! From there, the match only got better with the action! Candice LeRae and Nia Jax vs Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus (**1/2) - This was really a homecoming match for Trish Stratus and there wasn't anything exciting. Not gonna lie, I didn't pay much attention to this one but there were some nice spots here and there. Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn (*****) - These two gentlemen can put on a banger at the drop off a hat! Everything was great from the in-ring action to the atmosphere! The barbed wire chair was definitely a highlight and the post match segment with Randy Orton coming back was nicely done! Men's Elimination Chamber Match (****1/2) - The main event was filled with excellent main event talent and Logan Paul. Although I have a minor complaint: The first three eliminations felt very sudden and most of the match focused on the three-way between John Cena, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins. It wasn't bad per say, but I thought Drew and Damien didn't get enough time in before their sudden eliminations. The ending is great and is a little foreshadowing, with John Cena acting desperately to win the match! The final segment was perfect! Cody Rhodes telling the Rock to go fuck himself and John Cena finally turning heel after twenty years was amazing! Sure Travis Scott's presence was unneeded, but it didn't really hinder the segment. The shock of the audience says it all and I am excited to see how Cody Rhodes vs John Cena plays out at Mania! Overall, Elimination Chamber 2025 really kicked WWE into overdrive for the Road to WrestleMania after weeks of nothing big happening. The John Cena heel turn is already talked about and the hype for WrestleMania is now back in full swing!"

[9.0] "Elimination Chamber 2025 was a show I wasn't too excited for admittedly, so as you can see by my rating, I was very pleasantly surprised with this show. Starting out hot with the Womens Elimination Chamber, it started out great with the return of Jade Cargill (a month too late but still) A lot of WWE Kayfabe annoys me, like seriously nobody even called Jade to see if she was okay? I doubt she couldn't speak or move her hands for 3 months and then suddenly got all feeling back, it makes for a shocking moment of her turning on Naomi, and admittedly it was a great beatdown. Jade then didn't enter the match in Naomi's place. Overall I thought the order of eliminations were perfect, and my god do I feel bad for Liv Morgan at this point, runner up in 2 rumbles and 2 elimination chambers? The in-ring action was great, probably on par with last years chamber for me in terms of best womens chambers of all time. Bianca Belair wins and sets up a clash with Rhea Ripley at WM41, it's a megastar match because these 2 are the biggest womens division stars since the 4 horsewomen & Asuka, but I do feel like Ripley VS Belair is one of those mega-matches that needs one to be the Royal Rumble winner, maybe Iyo Sky wins tomorrow night on Raw and we get a change, I doubt it. Either way, I suppose it seems Jade Cargill is only going after Naomi for now, Roxanne & Bayley's feud is continuing and Alexa Bliss came out of this looking great, all things considered, this was a very good match in all aspects, I am happy that Bianca is moving back into singles action now too, although I feel like it really should have been Bianca VS Jade this year. Candice & Nia Jax then faced off against Trish & Tiffany, good to see Trish back again in Canada, she continues her streak of being undefeated in tag team matches in Toronto. It was a decent match, served it's purpose and builds Tiffany's momentum back up for her to officially devote all attention to Charlotte. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn were next, I was half & half with this match, I think it's wasted, Sami & Kevin have feuded time and time again and after their lackluster feud in 2021 I'll admit - I only wanted to see a Kevin VS Sami feud again if it was for a World Title. But by the end of this one they swayed me around to them again, I still stand by my point of this match never should've happened but since it did, what a match, it felt like their old ROH bouts, all it was missing was blood for it to be basically identical. I loved the match itself and it was good seeing Randy Orton return post-match. Orton VS Owens is locked in for WM, but as for what Sami is going to do now? No idea, he might miss the show entirely unless he politics himself into Chad Gable's spot again. Another good match all things considered though. Finally in terms of in-ring action we have the Mens Chamber, I'll never be a fan of the fact they put both Logan Paul & Damien Priest in this match but considering those outstanding facts, I really liked this match, I didn't like Drew McIntyre being eliminated as early as he was, it feels an absolute waste of a Mania match putting him against Priest, LA Knight is right there with a ready made feud for the US Title (The only title McIntyre needs to become Mr. Grand Slam) But the rest of this match was really good, especially the ending with Punk & Cena showing their chemistry transcends age. John Cena won this match and I was very happy with that result, mainly because I thought if he was losing then he'd be against Logan Paul, and if that were to happen I literally would never forgive the WWE. Cody VS Cena at WM41, that's a dream match right there. After the match directly we had Cody come out to the ring to face off with Cena, and then prepare for his segment with The Rock. John Cena didn't leave the ring so you know he's there for a reason. The Rock comes out with Travis Scott (Not sure what the link there is.) Rock & Cody build up the moment well and Cody's line of telling Rock to go *Censored by Netflix* himself drew a great reaction and rightfully so, there was a bit of cringe with John Cena hyping Cody up, where you knew something was coming and The Rock quite flamboyantly cutting his own throat to enter Cena's Final Boss Sleeper Agent phase was brilliant. The beatdown of Cody was amazing too (up until Travis Scott decided to get involved and punched Cody too.) but will forever be overlooked as to how momentous this occasion was. John Cena is a heel, and while I wouldn't have done it like this and feel there was a better story to be had here, I'm more than happy with this outcome and I am infinitely more excited for the road to WrestleMania and this match. Because it builds an interesting story of "I kinda want to see Cena win #17 but at the same time, he's The Rock's whipping boy so I sort of don't? " I like it. I liked this show. I haven't said that about a main roster PPV since Backlash nearly a year ago. Summerslam being the only decent show in-between. Props to WWE for taking the risk on the Cena heel turn. Props to everyone involved with this show, it was a good watch and actually delivered and made sense storyline wise. 9/10."

I mean, that was a really great moment, but the rest of the show was mostly fine. Women's match was pretty middling and very predictable, although I thought Roxanne did great (**3/4), the men's match was pretty boring and was a bunch of moves being done until Punk & Cena got involved for the last part of the match (***), and as for KO & Sami, it was good, but they've had FAR better matches in ROH, PWG and WWE. Not even a top 5 match between them, and yet that's the one Dave finally gives 5 stars to...alright man. It was ***1/2 for me. Ending aside, and seeing Punk & Cena finally go at it again, this was really just a decent show being overrated for the ending."

The women's contenders showed how gifted they are, Trish had a cool moment in her hometown once again, Zayn & KO have written possibly the final chapter in their saga, and the star-studded main event spoke for itself. After sculpting the PLE for weeks with a mix of emotions from the fans, this clearly shows that the road to WrestleMania has taken a crazy turn!"

Dude, that's some multiverse shit right there. It was so unthinkable and the whole segment was very well done (I think the "Go Fuck Yourself" line could've had a bit more of build-up and fuck, don't let Travis Scott get into physical action ever again). Still, until Cena explains his reasons for doing this, I think it's quite nonsensical he goes heel at this stage of his career. Either that, or his whole Babyface persona for the last 22 years has been nothing but the biggest farce ever, which honestly, it would make his whole career mean shit. It would kinda make sense that Cena went heel because after being in Hollywood full-time he got to know all the good stuff that made The Rock retire from full-time competition and he once was critical with, so by doing this it's the confirmation that Cena fell into temptation and Cody Rhodes, as the new face of the company, has to be somewhat of the new moral standard in replacement of Cena. It's a nice story, and I hope they get to tell it really good like last year's story with Rock and Roman went. Still, I think people really just judges something based of if something in particular that's heavily relevant in the show is greatly good or greatly bad. What I'm saying is, this show is nowhere near being a 10 or a 9 at all and there's barely any objectivity, and also a big case of having low standards. Sami vs KO is not that great of a match. I've seen a lot of people calling it a massacre. God, if that's a massacre, then what's Foley vs Edge, Foley vs Taker, Foley vs Orton, Foley vs Flair, Foley vs HHH? Too much Foley examples, I now, but those were REAL massacres, this was a very regular Extreme Rules, No DQ, No Holds Barred, Street Fight that you would see in basically any PPV in the last 15 years, with the difference there is some big story behind that kinda elevates it a little. Sami and Kevin were splendid, their performance, psychology and storytelling was on point, but the problem is how light and how inhibiting WWE booked it. I wasn't moved at all by the match, I didn't feel anything from it until the final stretch (which happens to me a lot currently with most big matches in WWE). I think there was a lack of connective tissue between sequences that made the match not feeling completely fluid, completely emotional and unique. It needed to me more hardcore, more violent, and not neccesarily in an ECW way. Just watch Gargano vs Ciampa from Takeover New Orleans and you'll see what this match should've been. The women's tag match was fine for what it was. Just plain fanservice and homage for Trish Stratus, but the action was nice and Tiff was the one that ended up finishing things and getting the spotlight as she should. Nothing more to add to that. And about the Chambers, I liked Women's better than men's. Men's felt bigger because of the names, the stakes and some fanservice moments like Cena and Punk meeting again, but the Women's did have a better performance, more intense, more violent, more physical, hitting hard with everything surrounding them and the booking was good, except by how Bianca won. I'm ok with her winning it, she's the best option to have a great Title match at WrestleMania, but making her win the match after having a meltdown watching Jade return to kill Naomi just don't make any sense. That thing should've made her lost all focus on the match, she should've made mistakes that lead her into losing. I think that Jade's return should've been done later. The impact would've been the same and Bianca winning would've made more sense. And now, I don't know how they're going to mix both of her stories now. Is she going to ignore the Jade and Naomi thing like that now she is going after the World Title? Let's see what happened on SmackDown. Men's Chamber was good, fine action, good build-up, the sense of urgence was there but nothing was truly great aside from the fanservice face-offs between Cena and Punk and the final stretch with Rollins also involved in the run for victory. The finish was greatly done, Rollins costing Punk his so desired main event as he claimed Punk would main event WrestleMania over his dead body, and Cena not hesitating at all to win the match with the STF, a very heelish thing to do that goes well with his posterior heel turn. It was a good event, with one of the most shocking moments in Wrestling history, but aside from that final segment, nothing in the show was truly of great quality and I think it could've been so much better."

Sami vs Kevin, it was great, he was best match of the whole night but not my favorite; The female elimination was my favorite match but not the best of the night, I liked the men's elimination chamber, it was all that I expected there were no surprises but I still loved it. Everything is put for Wrestlemania. It will be incredible."
