Loved it. Wanted Sami to win but knew it was a Cinderella story shot in the dark, he's definitely Foley-esque during his run. Men's EC match was great as well. Gorgano was nice with it tonight. Ford is gonna be a star. Everything else was good but not as good as those two matches. Also, I was today years old when I found out that the S in Triple H's last name is silent. Whaaaaat an uncultured swine I am đ€Šđ»ââïž

They gave Sami a hell of a moment, but it wasn't good enough. They have to Kofi this thing. Cody doesn't need to win at WM. Let Sami win. Let Sami dethrone the champ. Let Seth take the title off Sami at summerslam, and let Cody take it from him.
Cody and Roman have had like no interaction. Don't force this.

Just amazing stuff
Roman made Canada and most of the US cry tonight. He doesn't need it now but I hope this showed Trips and anybody else that didn't think he could,that Sami is World champ material.
One of the best chamber matches ever,give me all the NXT multi man matches you want Hunter they gonna deliver ever single time. Johnny was Johnny Wrestling again tonight and Ford has some đ„ gear for when he's ready to go out on his own. Seth/Logan gonna be motn(both nights)at Mania,cant wait for that.
Please lets move on from Lesnar/Lashley,we could've gotten Lesnar/GUNTHER but we getting this again smh.
Women's chamber was good, so glad Asuka got the win. Her and Bianca is gonna be fun,time to throw the title on the Empress again and watch her go.
JD/Edge and Mrs did exactly what it supposed to do,set up Edge/Balor for Mania and show how great of a turn around Dom has made.

I reckon in my opinion Sami Losing tonight leaves Cody beating roman at manina Then the fans turn on Cody cause Sami won that leaves Cody to a slow heel build to he comes the most hated man in the company because he was chosen to carry heâs legacy

2nd WWE PPV I've seen in years. Pretty mediocre stuff.
The chamber has foam pads now? WTF lol. Nothing truly brutal or noteworthy happened but the action was decent. Logan Paul and Seth Rollins incoming? Pass.
Lesnar and Lashley was as WWE as WWE gets.
Roman and Sami had a fantastic atmosphere, but was a pretty generic little match. Good drama though.
I know Sami and Cody are the two dueling babyfaces right now, but I really love me some Jey Uso.
I'll stick around the product until after Mania, but I'm just not impressed. AEW's crappiest Dynamite episodes on average produce better wrestling than this PPV.

The Womenâs Chamber was pretty safe. Outside of Livâs powerbomb, nothing really memorable happened. I really like Livâs shtick of not wanting to lose by tapping out and would rather pass out instead, similar to her match with Rousey. One thing I hate, absolutely hate, is how smiley they all are entering the Chamber. Youâre entering a match where the ring is surrounded by chains and (cheap looking) glass. Whatâs to be happy and excited about? Itâs something Iâve noticed ever since these matches had their own PPVs. Thereâs no fear going into them anymore. Sell the match. Make me believe that itâs possible your career may end.
Lesnar and Lashley was a fun big guy match. I wasnât expecting a clean finish. I didnât like how Lashley was once again left looking at the lights, despite being dominating throughout the match. If youâre going to have the match end in a DQ, end it in a way that is beneficial for both guys and still entertains the crowd like a spear through the titan tron or something that neither can get up from. It has to lead to a Wrestlemania match. If the rumours of a Cell match between Edge and Balor are true then I assume thatâll be one night and a gimmick match between Lesnar and Lashley will be the other night? Iâm not sure how Bray enters into the equation.
First off, Edge and Beth have such a bad ass entrance. This match had a couple of timing errors, one misstep with Beth and Rhea and another really bad one with Beth that ruined a spot. Edge is at the tail end of his career. He can take a loss and it wonât damage him in any way. This was one of those nights. If weâre to take Judgment Day seriously, Finn has to stop losing all the time. No way he wins the rumoured Cell match either.
Logan Paul was a nice surprise at the end. If you had told me a few months ago that him and Seth would have a match, I would have laughed. At the same time though, Iâm all for it.
Main event was awesome. It was one of those very few Roman matches where it looked like he could lose. I didnât want him to lose his 900+ day reign on a B PPV but as the match progressed, I was all on board with Sami winning.
Two awesome PPVs in a row and with the way things are shaping up, Wrestlemania will be no different.

I definitely thought Jey would show up and turn on Sami. Maybe with everyone on the internet calling that spot, and still six weeks to build Papa H decided to change plans and prolong that a bit.
âŠ..or maybe Jey truly will not turn on Sami and somehow we end up getting Jey vs. Roman sometime after WM to make their story come full circle.
Either way, I still see Sami and KO winning those tag titles at Mania.

As crazy as it sounds maybe The Usos split before Mania and we get a Jimmy/Solo Vs Jey/Zayn match up for the tag team titles.It would ne odd booking for current tag team champions to fight each other and for the titled but I believe this has happened a few times in the past.Think WCW did this back in the day with Ating/Giant where they where champions but fought each other for control of the titles.
The money and most over faces in WWE right now are Rhodes,Zayn & Jey.The reason why Zayn got so over is because of the side storyline and chemistry with Jey.They need to be a tag team and babyface team going forward.
This way you have to major acts and draws for two different division and possibly different house show runs.

People wanna see Cody, Bloodline, Sami, Seth, Bianca, Liv. They are all selling a ton of merch and tickets. Who knew just a little character development and arcs would be good for business. Who knew?

Man, theyâve got stars made now thatâs for sure.
Cody - needs that wrestlemania win. Sure, people will turn in Him eventually however he has the potential to fill the Roman role once heâs dethroned and ultimate begins his Hollywood transition.
Sami - red hot right now from the Bloodline story and clicking on all cylinders. With that being said, I donât think we are going to see a Batista-Bryan 2024 rehash where the crowd turns on Cody. Yes, Sami is over, but so is Cody. For god sales Rumble weekend they were selling out of cody merch daily. That doesnât go away with Roman turning on Cody. Iâm sure there will be few that will boo Cody just because of the momentum that Sami has, but the vast majority want to see Cody vs Roman. Not all the fans are like those in the Internet forum. I think they will keep the momentum going on Sami and Cody - let them have a promo where Sami tells Cody to get Roman at mania and the have Cody agree and tell Sami when the time comes that he wants to fight Cody. Let Sami team with jey or Owens at mania.
Last but not least, Jey Uso - in my opinion the hidden gem of it all. I would be totally fine if they put the belt on Jey. Heâs been a constant in the Bloodline story and always delivered. âMain event Jeyâ has become more than just a nickname. Jey really can deliver in the main event scene and gets reactions. Iâm all for He and Sami keeping the story going and facing off against Jimmy and Solo at Mania. I do think Kevin/Sami is more likely vs the Usos after Jey finally turns in Sami, but I wouldnât mind a baby face tag team with Jey and Sami.
This is the best theyâve been in years - the WWE. They finally have options across the board of who they can go with. Excellent storytelling over the last few months and itâs nice to see them stick with the stories, not just abandon ship halfway through a program.

This has me picturing Jeff Jarrett being the one to dethrone Roman Reigns and I love it. Double J is probably the greatest carny of the last thirty years. Never drew a dime, rarely held a job more than a few months, mid as a wrestler and a total failure as a promoter, but somehow convinced every major promoter (and several minor ones) to hire him multiple times and put him in prominent roles both in ring and in office. The hustle of the guy is phenomenal, I can only imagine how damn good he is in a job interview.
