What were the highlights of the WWE Elimination Chamber event?
CM Punk retains the World Heavyweight Championship in Chicago. We have a new women's Intercontinental Champion. Rhea Ripley is going to WrestleMania. Randy Orton wins the chamber. We love that, Dan Housen. Rhea Ripley and AJ Lee are both going to be on the show. This is the Elimination Chamber recap on WWE Now, a WWE and Fanatics original production.
Oh, Megan, there it is, the sign blazing, brighter than ever, because we are on the road more so than we have ever been on the road to WrestleMania 42, the final PLE before WrestleMania. Is over. The table is set. Championship matches announced. Titles changed. The Elimination Chamber PLE, noteworthy to say the least.
Without a doubt, there were surprises. There were tickets punched to WrestleMania.
What does Rhea Ripley's victory mean for her WrestleMania aspirations?
There was a crate uncrated. But...
The biggest news of all, Randy Orton is going to WrestleMania. This is one that people did not see coming when we did our Elimination Chamber preview WWE now. Yep. Neither one of us picked Randy. We didn't see it coming. And that's the most worrisome a Viper can ever be.
Yeah, because you know what happens when he hits his finishing move?
What's that?
It's typically out of nowhere.
Out of nowhere. Randy Orton does it. He wins that Elimination Chamber match, an Elimination Chamber match that was up in the air as recently as last night on SmackDown when Jey Uso gets taken out, still by somebody who we don't know who they are. But that slot opens up.
How did Randy Orton secure his win in the Elimination Chamber match?
We see Jacob Fatu and Logan Paul compete in the main event of SmackDown thanks to Drew McIntyre. It's Jacob Fatu that loses after getting hit with that title. And Logan Paul goes to the Elimination Chamber. Logan Paul, I mean, honestly, ruining the Elimination Chamber.
Yeah, there was a few moments tonight where I legitimately thought Logan Paul is winning the Elimination Chamber.
And not happily.
No, with each elimination that he picked up, I was getting madder and madder and madder. And I think you felt the same.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, dejected almost. Yeah. Like giving up hope. Logan Paul comes in. It was a beautiful thing. He got beat up by Trick Williams and Javon Evans and Cody Rhodes all at the same time. But first it was eliminating Javon Evans.
What surprises occurred during the Elimination Chamber matches?
Yes.
Then it was... Taking advantage. Oh, then it was the low blow to L.A. Knight. Yes. And the roll up that took out L.A. Knight. So right there you have two dark horses that people walked into this Elimination Chamber match wanting to see. They're the first two out.
And I felt like Logan Paul ruined it for us because I was excited to see Javon Evans do some crazy things off the chamber. And Logan Paul got rid of him.
Well, yeah, we saw the one big splash off the chamber, but you're right. Before we could see more, Logan Paul did get rid of him. And then, of course, Trick Williams being a victim of that crossroads.
What challenges does Rhea Ripley face going into WrestleMania?
But Logan Paul, for whatever reason, stealing the pin, which is the most bizarre thing that I've ever seen in an Elimination Chamber match.
Because it doesn't matter how many pins you get.
No, no, it's not a scored event. You just have to score the last pin.
But that's so Logan Paul because it's annoying.
Yes, it is. That's a great way to put it. That is a great way to put it. However, Logan Paul. Okay, so Logan Paul taken out of that match. The last like three to five of this match is absolutely insane. And I implore... The WWE, Nick Aldis, Adam Pearce, whoever has to do it. figure out how to get that chamber door shut quicker. It's like the minute somebody exits the chamber, it becomes a free-for-all.
How does AJ Lee feel about winning the Intercontinental Championship?
I mean, massive amounts of people just flooding into the elimination chamber that weren't involved in the match, right? Because we see Trick Williams get eliminated, much to the chagrin of many who were there to watch Trick whoop that trick.
I mean, did you hear the reaction Trick got when he entered the United Center?
No surprise. Whether it's Chicago, whether it's Louisville, whether it's wherever that dude goes, he's a star. And, you know, not one of those stars that I go, gee golly, one day could main event WrestleMania.
