Tag chamber was good IMO. Had enough action to keep me entertained for the 20 or so minutes. Liked the bit with the New Day doing Authority favours to get themselves every possible advantage in the chamber. Best heel team in a while.
The Diva's match was bad. Like really bad. Like I'm surprised no one got hurt bad. Naomi is really bad.
Cena vs Owens was worth my £9.99 alone. Incredible match. Can't believe Owens went over clean. I'd love to see WWE shock us by having him win clean again at MITB.
Neville vs Dallas could've been better. Put in an impossible position following Owens and Cena though. Neville's least entertaining main roster match thus far.
IC title chamber up there with December to Dismember. Really boring, poorly booked. I think Rusev's injury hurt the match a lot. It would've been a lot better if he was in it instead of Mark Henry (who's idea was that?). Thought Sheamus was a shoe-in to win so Ryback winning was a nice surprise. Good to see him finally getting a title run, although I don't think it will last long.
Ambrose and Rollins have probably had better matches, but this one was still really good. I loved the finish. Rollins screwing Ambrose again puts the heat on Rollins because he keeps the title again by the skin of his teeth, which will just make the crowd want him to lose it even more. Last night showed that when Ambrose does eventually win the title, he is ready and it will be awesome.

outside of Owens/Cena it wasn't anything special. Exactly. Pretty much a one match show. Both EC matches were a mess. The tag was a little more entertaining but the booking/elimination of teams was puzzling. The IC was just god awful. I'd rather watch the divas again because it was shorter and I can rewatch the Naomi botch fest that I was only half paying attention to. Main event while not bad felt flat. Glad Rollins is still champ.

So...is Kevin Owens on the main roster now? If not, what does that win do for KO if we wont see him on TV for a few months? Or is he gonna bounce back and fourth between WWE and NXT? He still has a lot to do at NXT. Samoa Joe feud, defending the title, eventual re-feud with a returning Zayn. If WWE isn't careful They may over-expose this guy before he even makes it to the main roster. Owens will do double duty. I'm not a big fan of it, especially when he still has the NXT title. "Coming up next we'll see John Cena face Kevin Owens for the NXT Title!" Cena wins. El oh el.

For me, the IC title match was the worst chamber match of all time....and that's coming from someone who bought December to Dismember.
Other than that, top notch show!

Cena vs Owens was booked perfectly, it was the obvious way of booking it after what they have done with Owens in NXT and on Raw the last few weeks but i still thought they would screw it up have Cena winning or possibly a dq finish, was a very enjoyable mach and the right winner for sure.
Not keen on a rematch in 2 weeks time though, it screams a Cena win, should have just booked Owens going back killing dudes on NXT and possibly raw and leave the rematch for a few months down the line.

lol I marked out like a nut when Ambrose won. My dog was sitting on my lap and I scared the crap out of him. Thankfully my little one month old son didn't wake up. My dad was watching with us and said, "just wait, some how they'll reverse it. They'll say they couldn't use a different referee or something stupid like that" I'm like, no way. They do that crap all the time in the past and it's fine. Then when the ref disqualified Rollins...I was so pissed. I'm thinking, if the ref really wanted to punish Rollins for pushing him, he would have let it go and have him lose his title. Just shows you how cheap these bookings are sometimes. I mean, enjoyable overall and I understand the slow burn of building Dean up which is fine, but if they really want people to tune in, they've got to go with a shocker finish. As much as I wanted Ambrose to win, I never thought he would win, so when he pulled the upset it got me interested. When they do the 180 like that it kills the interest. Am I still watching? Absolutely. But I'm not as excited as I would have been if Dean truly won. Him keeping the title afterwards was great though

Oh and Kevin Owens match was great. Definitely the show stealer. Looking forward to seeing this guy more. Reminds me of Vader or Bam Bam. A big dude that can move like hell in the ring.

Having watched this a second time, it was actually a damn good PPV. At first I thought it was just average.
Tag Team Chamber Only thing I didn't like about this match was Kalisto and his stalling. The time it took him to climb to the center of the Chamber and drop down, I could have cleaned the house and mowed the lawns and he'd still be swinging away. Not to mention it was rather anti climatic. Favourite part was The Ascension hurling El Torito out of the ring. If the cage wasn't in the way, he probably would have ended up in the fifth row.
Nikki vs Naomi vs Paige Apart from Paige being out of position for Nikki's top rope kick and the hurri - whatever that was, it was a decent match.
Kevin Owens vs John Cena My god what a match. Owens reversing the top rope superplex was impressive, never seen that before. No complaints, match of the night.
Bo Dallas vs Neville. It was a match I guess. Bo screaming was hilarious.
IC Chamber On first watch, I found this pretty tiresome. More emphasis could have been placed on Sheamus jamming the door shut by the announcers than just a passing comment. Highlight was definitely King Barrett mocking the other superstars in their pods and constantly yelling "boom!" Ryback was a good choice to win.
Sheamus and Dolph both lost in the Chamber but automatically get inserted into the Money In The Bank match? If they won qualifying matches, I'd be fine with that but because there's only two weeks away, there isn't too much time to do so.
Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins I watched this a few days after it aired and saw Seth's post match celebration in someone's avatar so when Dean got the win, I knew it wasn't permanent. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get excited though. Since this wasn't no DQ, it was refreshing to see a main event without J&J interfering every five seconds.
Watching this show made me realise how little I miss the Elimination Chamber. I'd be fine not to see it for two or three years.
Overall I'd give this 3.5 to 4 out of 5.
