What are the main highlights of the Elimination Chamber preview?

Sam Roberts 0:07
Welcome to a very special edition of WWE Now. It is... the Elimination Chamber preview show. Megan Morant is here along with myself, Sam Roberts on a WWE and Fanatics original production previewing the Elimination Chamber. I'm very excited for this Elimination Chamber for a couple of reasons. Number one, of course, it's leading us right to WrestleMania. Hopefully after Saturday night, we know four matches going into WrestleMania and their four massive title matches.
Megan Morant 0:38
Are we going to have four graphics?
Sam Roberts 0:40
Hopefully we have four graphics coming off of Elimination Chamber. That's what I'm really looking forward to is the graphics. Because as we all know, it's not permanent. It's not official until we see the graphic. That's right. The other reason I'm really looking forward to it is because, and this isn't always the case, I find this to be a specifically unpredictable scenario. set of elimination chamber matches. I would say it about both the men's and the women's. Yeah. I think the road to get to these chamber matches has been unusual. And I think, you know, the result, I've had conversations upon conversations upon conversations with people, including you, you, who all have completely different theories about what could happen in these matches and where it could go.
Megan Morant 1:23
Well, you look at the people who are in the Elimination Chamber, both on the men's side and on the women's side. There's so many different scenarios.
Sam Roberts 1:30
That's right.
Megan Morant 1:31
And all of them that you could talk yourself into.
Sam Roberts 1:33
Absolutely. Absolutely. So let's start breaking down these matches that we're going to see on Saturday. Let's start, as well as, by the way, we have two Elimination Chamber matches. We got two title matches and a crate. Oh, the crate. The crate. Don't forget about the crate.
Megan Morant 1:48
Crate day.
Sam Roberts 1:48
Crate day is Saturday. Adam Pearce said they spelled his name wrong. which is where my Santino stuff started coming into play.
Megan Morant 1:56
Or R-Truth.
Sam Roberts 1:57
Or R-Truth. And he is the type of person that would send himself in a crate without realizing, just book a plane ticket. You'll be fine. You get there. They'll let you in. You're R-Truth.
Megan Morant 2:06
I don't think you would realize he's in a crate.
Sam Roberts 2:09
No, I don't think so. He probably walked into a room and thought the door shut behind him, but it was a crate. That's possible, too.
Megan Morant 2:14
Yeah.
Sam Roberts 2:15
But we'll talk about the crate, too. Okay, so let's start with the women's Elimination Chamber match. We've got Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, Kiana James, Alexa Bliss, Raquel Rodriguez, and Asuka. massive lineup. I think Kiana James is the dark horse here.
Megan Morant 2:34
Oh, without a doubt. I mean, I want to say it's surprising to me that Kiana James made it to the Elimination Chamber. But Kiana James is someone that we've all forgotten about what she did in NXT. In NXT, Kiana James was an absolute... badass and she comes up to the main roster she's been working with Julia and it wasn't until that qualifying match that we just got a taste of what Kiana James is capable of and Sam I think of the Elimination Chamber two years ago yeah Tiffany Stratton that was a time when Tiffy Time really was given life yes all of Perth Australia is chanting Tiffy Time I would love to see something like that for Kiana in Chicago
Sam Roberts 3:16
I don't know if this will be the moment for it or not. People were definitely taken aback.
Megan Morant 3:19
Yeah.
Sam Roberts 3:20
Because, you know, she rolled up Charlotte and she, you know, hit her with the slide while Charlotte was in, like, applying the figure eight, which was a very unique finish to that match. But I think... Look, I think that this is going to be one of those things where when Tiffany Stratton walked into the Elimination Chamber, people were already chanting.
Megan Morant 3:40
Yeah, people knew who she was.
Sam Roberts 3:41
Right. I think that the Elimination Chamber match becomes the opportunity for Kiana, not just in terms of like, hey, if I win this, I get to go to a title match at WrestleMania against Jade Cargill. That's massive. But... More so, even if she doesn't win, this is the opportunity to put her on that stage. This is the opportunity that maybe if they're not chanting her name when she walks in, she makes sure they're chanting her name when she walks out.
