LUKE: The show is over (or should be once this has gone live), so get your thoughts in. The best ones will be read out on the podcast!

Comments

Daniel Campos

I have never hated the pacing of WWE more than this show.

Magnus Grey

I'm so excited that Danhausen was the one in the box. His debut entrance was absolutely adorable and very fitting and I'm just so happy for him.

Dylan Gardiner

I haven’t watched anything but saw a second of Rollins and Danhausen.. cool ig.. roll on Dynamite

Aries392

Honestly, not surprised at all that danhausen was the one in the box. I guess wwe has ran out of ways of debuting people.

Gary Boyle

Rarely watch WWE now but tuned in and largely meh. Mad when Randy Orton feels like a breath of fresh air. Happy for Danhausen hopefully getting good money but already cringing at the ads he'll be doing with Otis and whoever

Colt Durham

I didn’t know entrance purgatory hell existed until the chamber entrances happened tonight. When Luke said WWE is an entrance company, it was never more true tonight. Every wrestler has an entrance so long I could’ve swore the undertaker was walking to the ring, but nope, it was just Logan Paul and every other wrestler in the chamber match looking for anyway possible to not enter their pod and waste as much time possible . I’m curious to know if the men’s chamber entrances all together were longer than the match itself?

Hamad saeeed

Hebsi is here , Well the curse of the vision ruined Seth return and no matter how much Paul Heyman screams I didn’t care that much are we sitting Seth and Logan yawn ,, Randy orton winning is weird and feel like a pivot same with Rhea ..

Alfredo jr Salgado

Chamber matches were entertaining, however the masked man story should've been dropped, the pop for rollins was nice, but where do you go from there. Also danhausen ain't gonna draw tickets and poor Drew is not going to mania as champion sadly. Overall better than the rumble with some strong chamber matches and fairly alright middle matches with the AJ vs Becky match feeling very sloppy.

Bdazzle

Danhausen was the reveal and the crowd boo'd lmfao I don't expect WWE to handle danhausen well tbh

Vault-Tec Doormamu

Je’Von is truly showing how much he understands the business. He’s got It. Taunting trick mid rebound, the positioning he’s shown in multiple spots. The kid’s going places.

Captain Nick

Just a question for you all: Does it feel like we’re on the road to Wrestlemania now?

Threads of Dragons

Building a mystery angle for a PLE and having the payoff be a comedy character who hasn’t been on national TV since 2023 and barely did anything of note during his AEW run is just confusing booking.

Dev King

Cant even lie, danhausen song was fire, the show was so predictable, but sometimes thats not bad, id say but average show nonetheless

Lucas P.

If I had a gun to my head and had to think of one thing that salvaged that awful show it’s Trick Williams. He’s not a future star. He’s a star. Don’t even wait for summerslam. Give him the belt at one of the B Shows beforehand

Dukect

The road to WrestleMania is on a filler arc. Right now, that's what it feels like. And I just didn't really care for this PLE and then when the box was revealed its reaction was a wet fart. Then, we get to the main event, which looks like it was set up and written by Vince Russo. Multiple interference leading to the most blandest wrestlemania championship match since roman versus triple h WrestleMania 32 No buys

Jamie Stidiford

It was your typical wwe ple. So much potential but ended up being Predictable and non eventful. Danhausen theme was best part of the night. If he's on the main roster put him in a feud with Dom.

LeQueerious

Sweet mother of mediocrity... Logan eliminating half of the field was punishment for us dreading Jey running it back in the match wasn't it? Oh well. Mixed reactions for Danhausen, but he'll always have my support because its great to see someone from Detroit make it in the business. Seems like AEW shipped him over to make him their problem!

PineJohn

Punk vs Balor was by far the highlight of the night. The men's chamber was most of the same for the most part, but the ending was actually surprising. I guess they had to have someone from the vision there for Seth's reveal, but they clearly had the spots planned for Reed to eliminate everyone and it just doesn't work the same/It's not believable with Logan at his place. Just have other people eliminate eachother, or better yet, have Trick eliminate Evans and Knight until Logan eliminates him.

Henry Riley-Edwards

Chicago did not feel like Chicago tonight. I guess that’s what happens when you price out your hardcore fanbase.

Lex Sells Merch

I’m sorry. But these 4 match cards are not working for me. It’d be one thing to sacrifice space on the card to let those matches have more time and have them all be incredible. Instead, we just get entrance simulator and wrestling that leaves a lot to be desired

PineJohn

I guess Rhea vs Jade makes sense, but it's just very boring imo. It also leaves Iyo with nothing for Mania, and it kind of confirms they'll probably lose the tag titles until then.

Will B

Surprises of the show ranked: 1) Orton wins 2) Danhausen in the Boxhausen* 3) Seth Return* *not surprising at all

Tom Garrett

In case of emergency (i.e. low ticket sales from TKO's perspective), break glass - that means getting Rhea and Orton in WWE title matches. As you all predicted, WWE pulled the trigger on Danhausen probably 3 full years after the buzz around him had crested. They needed a segment that would introduce him in a way that highlights what makes him special - interactions with other talent. Have him backstage in a talking segment. Not this. Crowd was largely indifferent or unaware of who he was. WWE keeps whiffing on these debuts. They must get better.

Gage Rosenow

Everything on this PLE just felt… off. Many botches both in the ring and on commentary with a crowd that felt lackluster. The product feels incredibly stale and just feels afraid to make any big moves. Cody loses the chamber but he gets an immediate title shot on Friday don’t worry! I would love to see WWE take a risk

Andy_Ryuga

LETS GO DANHAUSEN!!!

Tom Daniels

Why was the biggest thing coming out of Elimination Chamber not on the show? Wwe announcing Cody vs Drew for Smackdown felt huge, yet it was on the post show.

Lewis Kelly

Are we supposed to believe that AEW shipped Danhausen and 8 women in cat suits to WWE only to keep them locked in their for three weeks. Whilst shipping them from town to town. Obvious reveal but like the WrestleMania shoe teasers, this Left everybody expecting and wanting more.

Rich

Even though it was mostly predictable, it was a serviceable show. Thought both chamber matches had some good spots. Also, can’t wait for Michael Cole to find a QR code to your guys podcast in that jar of teeth from Danhausen.

Scott Robinson

I know of Danhsusen, but I probably would have been with the Chicago crowd and booed the reveal. Probably should have had some vignettes before he showed up.

Mr. Samuel Scratch

Guess Cornette's rule is truly disproven: he came out of a box, he was not over.

Adele A. Lugosi

The results were predictable minus RKO. I thought that it may be a great storyline if Randy did a heel turn. The Women's Chamber was there, but Jade and Rhea is probably the biggest match they could match, I just don't find it interesting. I did like the Seth reveal as I hated that Logan Paul was in the Chamber, and it felt rewarding to see that storyline play out. I watched the CM Punk vs Finn match waiting for Judgement Day coming out to mess them up, and feel like so much was left on the floor.

Courtney Rose

I'm from Chicago but not a single wrestling pal of mine went to the show as we were all priced out. Crowd felt off for it being Chicago, love Danhausen but I have no hope for this run and Randy and Rhea winning do nothing to make me excited for WM matches sadly. Love Rhea but feeling a bit of burnout with her atm. Logan vs Seth at Mania has the potential to be the most eye roll inducing match in a while. Who genuinely cares about Logan Paul?

Nathan jarvis

Not unhappy that Randy won. I do feel like it was a recycling of last years booking i.e older guy chasing record title goes over most worthy title contender due to interference spot. Cody will end up in the match at Mania anyway. I cannot believe they gave 3 eliminations to Logan Paul why did he need that?

Steffan Bills

Much like a lot of HHH PPVs, it was so middle of the road. All safe choices because Mania is set in stone now. The only semi shocking thing was AJ winning, I personally thought they'd wait until Mania for a big moment but it makes sense being in Chicago. The show did very little to actually get me excited for WrestleMania

Brody Allsep

Honestly, it might be ends not justifying the means, but with Aldis setting up the Drew-Cody match on the preshow, I could see Fatu interfering to negate Drew cheating and giving Cody the win to set up Cody-Randy and Drew-Jacob.

Brody Allsep

Aside from the relief I feel of Rhea winning to have someone able to help Jade through the match and finally get some star power back on the Women's Title, nothing from this show makes me excited for Mania. Might even be less excited somehow.

Lee Bauer

The box.....was not well received. My wife was confused and I know a lot about AEW from you guys and occasionally watching their programs every once in a while but as a WWE fan I have heard of Danhausen but I have no clue who he is. Crowd booed and it already seems he is dead in the water. Like the Chicago crowd I'm really behind Raquel Rodriguez, I think she could get big and they made her look strong, hopefully she gets that push after maina. Maybe a program with Liv, seems like the next logical step. Men's chamber seems like there are a lot of stories to tell still. Drew vs Randy seems underwhelming unless it becomes a mulit man match, then I could get into it.

Apesh 07

WWE does not need a Danhausen, what will he add to tv, comedy sketches with the lower mid card? Will people be willing to give this guy, who barely did anything in AEW, a chance? I think Danhausen is funny, but WWE is a much bigger pond than what Danhausen should swim in.

DennyDorko

I am glad they paid off the masked-man stuff with the Seth reveal instead of doing something stupid. Even with the Brons injured, just dropping it didn't seem like a feasible option.

Michael Trayner

I thought the show did what it needed to do to get the build for wrestlemania back on. Both chambers where good and interested to see if bron will be back in time for mania to pay off the seth reveal. Good show overall

KingWickedLee

The moment Rhea lost the Tag titles on smack down I changed my prediction to Rhea winning , got a little nervous when the final two was Tiffy and Rhea , because tiffy vs jade is a rivalry on cooldown .

Don

Not sure how danhausen will fit onto the roster. Seems so niche that even factioning him with a student of sloth style didn't really seem to work in aew. He'll probably flounder in the lower mid-card with his curses. Overall, show felt too safe and don't think it will really help move tickets

Godzilladreamer

Felt like a lot of this show wasn't for me. I understand Rhea is a star, but her being a title match for every single Mania show she's appeared on made me sour on her winning the chamber. I liked Becky vs AJ, and actually wouldn't mind if this leads to a match between Becky and Jessica. Ending to Balor vs Punk felt anticlimactic and wasn't the biggest fan of Logan eliminating half the men's chamber, but after that the men's chamber became quite enjoyable. Overall 6/10 show.

“Marky” Mark K. Fabe

Broadly fine show. They went with the safe option in 3 out of the 4 matches. Randy was a surprise, but will likely lead to Cody v Randy or a multi man match at Mania (Cody/Drew/Fatu/Randy). Danhausen’s debut was the only truly exciting part of the show and the Chicago crowd had the gall to boo him. They are now all CURSED.

Ryan Conger

Happy to see them not pick the “safe choice” for the chamber matches. Just hoping that the men’s match doesn’t lead to a three way at WM42 with Cody, Randy and Drew. Either respect the stipulation of the chamber win or abandon it. Also where does Danhausen land? Smackdown could use the comedic relief with the 3 hour runtime. I’ll gladly take a Toxically Cursed match with Kit Wilson. Very nice, very toxic, very evil.

Rootbeerpants

I actually quite liked Elimination Chamber. Happy that Rhea won since her vs Jade is a fresh matchup plus AJ and Punk being champs together was nice. Men’s elimination chamber match was fun but I really don’t have any patience for Logan Paul anymore and the amount of interference felt like it diminished the cage a bit. Shock Orton win made up for that a bit though. Overall I enjoyed my time with it which is more than I can say for some WWE shows

Andrew Vittoria

Danhausen fell flat with the crowd, but I'm still excited for him in WWE. I'm sensing a Miz-housen tag team after Wrestlemania... and the inevitable skits with R-Truth will be gold. Loved Randy Orton winning. Great to see Seth back. Paul Heyman chewed the scenery like he was an extra in a high school play and it was perfect. Rhea winning was predictable but she should have a good powerhouse match with Jade. Didn't really care much about AJ Lee or Punk, although the matches were decent. All in all this was a solid "B" show.

Stevie Sandwich

I was starting to believe in the women's tag TLC triple threat type of match (i blame Oli lol) but now that Rhiyo isn't in the tag picture it all just feels like a whole bunch of meh. Now Iyo is just left with pretty much nothing big to do for Mania now when she's been so good all year. Just doesn't seem worth it to do Rhea Jade idk. Punk match was good, Randys a fun winner. Rhea winning earlier soiled the show a bit for me unfortunately

KET

I don't understand why people are upset with Logan eliminating half of the competitors. He's a young star who's decent in the ring. Since he's full-time, he'll likely be willing to improve more in the ring. Also he gets heat from the crowd. Weather it's X-Pac heat or not, he gets a reaction regardless.

PhiAlphaRed

I sat front row. Red hair, jacket with white sleeves. I had a support wrestle talk sign and they took it away from me. You can see it around 2:52:36 left in the show. I have it for Alexa and by the time Asuka gets in, they took it. It did feature a flip down part that said “HHH fears Oli Davis” that I was going to show during the main event. But they never saw that part. I took a picture with it before the show.

Kian

This was a nothing special show even if the ending wasn’t the most predictable result, it just felt like a meh twist. I mean even with the end result the story is still between Drew and Cody so it just felt like a swerve because we all knew how the story should end. So now we’ll get some contrived segments on tv where Cody gets back in the match and it won’t mean as much. Not to mention the match that should be a triple threat wasn’t this one. The Liv Morgan match desperately needs Raquel Rodriguez to get in there. So even if this title match gets moved to a crazy 5 man one at mania, I think you can only cheapen it from here. Rhea vs Jade will be good it’s the only opponent you could put her against if Bianca isn’t coming back. Nothing was bad but nothing was that good either.

Chris deaton

Love the crate had a QR code to this podcast in it.

Pogo is here

The amount of people mad at DanHousan is insane like what did you expect. It's a box that says do not open until elimination chamber that they did a comedy routine with it four weeks and was only promoted with people like r truth. I think this has shown the biggest difference with AEW fans and WWE fans. AEW fans are much more receptive to silly bullshit wrestling like this where WWE fans want there wrestling to be serious all/most of the time.

mike wolfe

A mostly fine show with an exciting ending. Loved seeing Randy win, Seth returning while predictable was cool, both chamber matches were overall just OK, wanted Raquel to win but oh well, Intercontinental match was again just OK, Punk/Balor was solid, and poor LA Knight, he can't catch a break. I love Danhausen and while the debut fell flat I think there is some potential comedy gold between him and R Truth.

Phillip Jesurun

IS JE'VON OK?! My friend group watching it live saw him get dropped on the top of his head by Logan and was helped out of the cage. I hope he's OK.

Mr Mamba

Was hesitant on going due to egregious prices but my younger sister has been watching Raw so i decided to surprise her and take her. I felt like it was an alright show, my favorite part was Punks entrance with the Bulls theming. Je’von took a rough bump from Logan, Seth and Drew interfering was hinting at their direction. Overall a 6.8.

Hok

I can hear the Jacob fatu interference on smackdown already.

ScottJDev

After that reaction, I fully expect to see Danhausen to be on the 'we wish you well on your future endeavours' list by 2027

Hok

I was given the jar of teeth from danhausen, but he dropped it. I helped him pick up the teeth and saw one that looked different to the rest. I picked it up and took a closer look at it, and it was a QR code to this podcast.

Graff

If one of the featured matches at Mania this year isn't Danhausen vs Mr. Iguana then I don't know anymore..

Seth Colegrove

You know what's great about matches inside a cage? Not one but two run-ins, and a fake run-in. Even if that was okay, this is two years in a row that's happened in the men's elimination chamber. Alas, WWE is two for two on the low end of mid PLEs in 2026. 👍

Brandon

the last 2 masked men reveal (on smackdown and right before Seth tonight) were two graduates from Seths wrestling school (Black and Brave wrestling academy). If WWE was SMART they would keep these guys and frame them as "Seth rollins' uncorrupted vision". genuinely new guys that Seth trained and chose to push without influence from Heyman. have Seth come out and properly introduce them on Raw, give them some fun tag matches (maybe put the belts on them I don't know) and have them beat Logan and Theory at mania. Besides that Danhausen's debut might have been the funniest shit to watch with someone who doesn't know wrestling. just this weird vampire clown man and his harem comes down to the ring dances and dissapears, I can't wait for him to team up with Dominik Mysterio just so they can sell Domhausen merch

Pat the booker

I think over all elimination chamber was fairly decent. Rhea winning was good call Aj lee okay in her hometown i guess just predictable Punk winning super clean i didn’t like expected Dom-terferance Danhousen debut cool Randy winning was a swerve and maybe how we get to a multi man title match

Jonathan “The Headmaster” Hedman

I liked the show but please redesign the chamber, ever since they remodeled it a few years ago there is a distracting shadow usually more noticeable the second chamber match.

Lily Petal

Rhea winning gives us a fresh match up so cool. Wish I had waited to do my Wrestle League predictions until after SmackDown. I see a triple threat match at WM between AJ Lee, Becky Lynch and referee Jessika Carr. Finn lost . . . DAMNIT!! Randy won, Aldis booked Cody vs Drew for Smackdown so this will be how we get Cody vs Randy at WM because as much as I hate it Drew is losing. Danhoussen hopefully gets a better reaction next time we see him. Seth is back as the "masked man" Glad he is better but meh. Did you guys see the message Roman sent out about Punk. Overall it was ok.

CC

I was extremely impressed with Raquel tonight. She was the mvp of the women's elimination chamber. Also it felt like the men spent an hour climbing the cage for their entrances and then barely used it again during the match.

Kevin Fleuriot

I really like Rhea, but her winning shows how bad the SD women's division has been built. I'd rather have had another Charlotte Flair title match. Poor Danhausen lol, they shouldn't have let this happen at Elimination Chamber.

DeadBadger

FREAKIN DANHAUSEN! Hell yeah, awesome....I hope they don't ya know ruin him

Adam

I have recently been enjoying my explaining many of WWE’s characters to my four year old son, but did find myself more lost for words than I have ever been in my life trying to explain to him what a ‘Danhausen’ is and why he gave someone a jar of teeth, danced with some latex-clad face-painted ladies, and then blew up in the world’s smallest pyro. Wrestling is wonderful!

Rob Buck

Danhausen coming in as only he can genuinely put a smile on my face! I just wish they wouldn’t make Michael Cole be the straight man to stuff like this to immediately poo poo it as ridiculous. You once commentated Wrestlemania from a GIANT GLASS CUBE! Don’t act like you’re above a man coming out with a jar of teeth!

kyle McAllister

Loved Rhea winning! Her vs Jade is a big match for mania and immediately makes the SD women’s title more exciting. Both chambers were good, but I thought the women’s was better.

Ashton Mitchell

2nd bad PLE of 2026 for WWE. I'm glad we're pushing the new guys and gals like Randy, AJ Lee and Rhea, I think them 3 all have massive futures ahead of em. Randy winning does nothing for me, and neither does AJ, especially with how talented the women's division is currently, I don't get why we're relying on nostalgia. Danhausen would have got a pop from me if this was 2021, issue is, it's not; I don't see what he adds to this already dire product. If this was meant to hype me up for Mania, then it absolutely failed in my opinion

Brent

I can easily imagine the longest Chamber entrances with the following: Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, The Undertaker, and Travis Scott. I was going say it would take 25-30 minutes before the actual match starts but with Travis Scott, the match would never start ever.

Sedin Magic15

I give the show 90%! Really really good! Love seeing Rollins back, even though we knew the masked man was him. I have no idea why Randy won though. I like him but we've seen him vs. McIntyre twice in late 2025, and it's a very predictable match for mania since there's no way he's winning

Neweyes66

Danhausen Vs Brock Lesnar. Book it Triple H. It would instantly sell out Vegas

Drew Vincent Curwood

Can we get a masked / hooded attacker count going, that was like the 6th one this year

Daniel James Baker

Danhausen reveal went down like a led balloon, the crowd saying "That was the worst surprise ever!" fucking cracked me up hahaha. I personally am not familiar with him so it didn't work for me but, he seems fun and could be a fresh breath of needed air on the roster. AJ vs Becky I thought was wonderfully told with all of the spots from Becky's machinations in place only for her own hubris and Jessica Carr to get the better of her for AJ to get her tapping. Guess we know whose getting that chant now lol, The womens match i was disappointed with Alexa going out so early but it made sense for the spot, I got really hyped up with Raquel pinning both Kiana and Asuka but then deflated with the pivot to the second most boring option to face Jade in Rhea, sure it'd be a good match but they are creatively starved for booking at Mania, after all, "it's shit booking season..." Punk vs Balor had a lot of turns I believed Balor could've won, Dan and Lukes discussion on this in the prior weeks really cemented that for me but I'm still happy iwth the retention, mens chamber match had some good spots but I was emotionally over for it.

Ravi Teja

Wow what a shitshow! The crowd was bad throughout except for the women's elimination chamber match. WWE is going to struggle filling out arenas in the future(post WrestleMania) for their ples. They have lost touch with reality and more importantly they don't know who their fans are anymore. And Triple H fears Oli and he is bad at booking

Lando

Oh boy, I don't watch a lot of WWE anymore, but decided to watch as it was on Netflix.... When entrances are as long as the matches, that tells me that they don't have much faith in their wrestlers or audience. Which is a shame. 4/10 show for me. It doesn't make me want to watch more WWE that's for sure.

Homerstar

I don’t hate Danhausen (I really know nothing about him) but that went down like a lead balloon. The truth is, he’s a comedy character and setting up a big debut for him like that is always going to be a let down. I also don’t trust the company that they’re going to book him properly. We’ve seen Triple H book comedy characters in the past. Feel like he would have fit better in NXT.

Badgersprite

I don’t know who Danhausen is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. People act like I’m supposed to know who he is but I’m a terminally online wrestling fan and I swear I’ve never seen anybody talk about him. Rhea & Randy are great winners. Can’t wait to see Becky Lynch v Jessika Carr, finish the Shane Sewell story arc!

Oliver

Don’t mind Danhausen, but it does leave a sour taste given a comedy character gets a full song and dance entrance but some of the ex-AEW guys who are good enough to be on the main roster are stuck in NXT. Was a very mid PPV that annoys rather than excites imo

DerBilz99

WWE really cant do anything right atm... Danhausens debut was interesting but felt off somehow

Yeetus Skeetus

I do find it funny that the crowd were angry after the Danhausen debut. So what do WWE do to make the crowd happy, have the biggest POS eliminate all your favourites to complete silence and no heat. P.S the men's chamber match went 25 minutes, the entrances went about 20.

DynamicWarpath

Poor Danhausen… His debut was set up to fail. I really like Danhausen, but this definitely was not the right time (by a couple years) nor the right place to debut him. He was never going to live up to the curiosities that people had about the box, then they open it for the cool down spot right before the main event.

Jamie Fisher

Feels like they suddenly want to finally do Cody vs Randy for the title because of ticket sales. If they do, what a truly underwhelming way to get to that match.

Jack Horbury

I actually thought this was a decent show, not the abomination a lot seem to be making it out to be. Enjoyed the women’s chamber, the winner was just predictable but Jade vs Rhea is a big match. AJ vs Becky was probably as good as we could’ve hoped, Punk vs Balor was fantastic. The men’s chamber was a tale of two halves. Did not enjoy Logan getting the first 3 eliminations. After that though I enjoyed all the sports entertainment drama and happy that Randy won.

RealDoubleJ

Some (not all) fans: "remember when wrestling was fun? There's too much sports in my entertainment" Perpetually Online Papa H: "we're breaking the walls down between sports and entertainment with this mystery box puzzle, enjoy the show" Most fans: "what the hell was that gobbledy-gooker-ing about?!?" Love DanHausen and I hope he got a nice fat contract courtesy of his friendship with One Bill Phil

Blossom

Look, it’s not the worst show ever. I loved the campiness of danhausen and Randy as a surprise winner (wouldn’t be my first choice, but better than Cody and a huge multi-man is likely for mania) Also happy for Raquel getting such a good showing and glad Seth is back as the main event needed him Also HYPED for Jessika Carr v Becky But wasn’t anything particularly memorable in either cage, mens felt too short

Don

Boring

G the B (Greg the Bastard)

Hello guys. Like Luke I'm not a fan of the chamber but actually enjoyed both this year. Rhea was 100% the right winner but Tiffy was the MVP for me, she took some gnarly bumps! I wanted Randy to win so delighted with that. Drew keeps costing Cody which is going to lead to Cody getting added to the title match. Be happy with a triple threat but can see Jacob and maybe Sami being added as well? Maybe some kind of 5 way elimination match at Mania? Jam that jam!

Caine Graham

Love danhausen, just wasn’t the biggest fan of the debut last night. Still kind of unsure as to why? Punks entrance was cool although there was too many mean faces lol. Decent show overall expected Cody to win so Randy was a nice suprise. Cody wins belt on smackdown?

Vikrish-Ingi

Really enjoyed chamber maybe because it was good maybe because I was 6 pints deep. Tiffy v jade isnt happening again . Great Michael Cole told us how becky lynch is saying bad things about AJ Styles . Great Balor v punk was great. What's in the box ? Another fucking box . Great Ring announcer announces Jevon Williams . Great Cody doesn't win. Great. Seths back . Great . Negatives woman's tlc for mania is out the window sorry Oli. Trick didnt win. Balor didnt win. And been drunk watching convinced ourselves Kevin owens was in the box but when I checked aew before the show seen Dan Hausen wasn't on the roster so knew it would be him. Much better WWE still room for improvement

Stewart Moore

AJ Lee to retain at Mania, Paige returns on RAW after Mania to beat her. Just like 2014

Nathan Lopez

Fine show nothing ground breaking but totally fine. Once again the women’s chamber was better and a star making performance with Kiana James also shout out to Tiffy, she was bumping like crazy

jasong316

20 minutes of nothing before the bell rang for the first match, I could have watched an episode of the new series of Scrubs in that time!

Nabeel S

Looking at the Danhausen reaction, I reckon WWE were banking too heavily on the Chicago crowd being a "smart crowd" that know of the wrestling world outside of WWE. But I feel like every time they've gone to one of those traditional US "smart" crowds in recent years, they've not really met those expectations. With increased ticket prices, I don't think you're getting hardcore wrestling fans anymore, just hardcore WWE fans specifically.

Oliver

Really don’t want to sound like a negative Nelly but honestly that show was just so uninteresting. I just genuinely can’t remember the last time wwe genuinely impressed or excited me with a decision or angle. Unfortunately spent most of the show wondering when the next aew ppv is and I would consider myself a fed fan. 2/10

Jack McEwen-Quy

Women's chamber was much better although I'm sad Rhiyo wont be in the Women's TLC now but Rhea vs Jade is a marquee match. I feel the boos Danhausen were mostly because that was it like, maybe don't have him come down to the ring if he's not doing a promo. Look forward to his feud with Los Americanos.

Darren Lloyd

2 weeks for just an entrance is flat no matter who it is, Danhausen just being signed announced by Pearce and doing that entrance would have gone over better

DJ Sparky

So many people moan that WWE is predictable then you get 2 chamber winners who you didn't expect and people still moan. Can't win with some people

Kieran

Was hoping Raquel would win the women's chamber, felt she has been doing good work lately and deserves a chance, Balor vs Punk had it's moments , bit of a dull ending. Finn has been wasted in WWE. AJ vs Becky was enjoyable. Men's chamber was as expected, I thought Randy would win it. Not the best event.

ATallstalls

I'm generally positive about most things but it all felt too safe the most shocking thing to happen was orton being the one to win the chamber but even that isn't going to matter come mania if they are going down the multi-man path for the belt but I am happy for danhausen he seems like a genuinely nice guy

Mick Reynolds

The first guy who ran into the Chamber was the guy who raised the briefcase against Austin at King of the Ring 1999. Mystery solved.

Peter Siddorn

Well that was a show - WWE has basically decided to end one of the few positive things that they have at a time when fan support is at a real low in Rhiyo to sell at best like a dozen tickets for Mania and a mystery box of if Rhea can pull a half decent match out of Jade. - A nice AJ Lee moment but just a moment - Punk Balor in a there match And a Randy Orton win that just means we get a 4 way to open Mania night 1 At least it was nice to see Danhausen

Tim Koskuba

Once Rhea lost the tag championships, it was a lock she’d win. Biggest women’s star in the company and yet she feels like a third or fourth option for Jade. The Logan Paul thing will never not annoy me. The novelty has worn off. Crowds don’t react to him at all. It’s time to build an actual top heel now, guys. 2/10 show

Brxdley.h

The wwe needs a reset, unfortunately they are just too cold atm and it’s because they don’t build new stars. They pretend to, but don’t follow through. They need to pass the company to the new guys, rather than reusing old guys constantly

the danhausen reveal was embarassing, like i felt embarrassed watching it. It felt either too 80s of a character, or too goofy for the main roster. He would’ve worked in NXT though - so I understand and agree with the boos

Pretty mid show. The Danhausen revel felt so out of place and kinda cringe. Up there with The Fiend and the giant box like structure from WM.

The show was kinda good, but just very safe over all. They really did give me hope that Raquel would win the chamber, but Rhea will mostlikely increase ticket sales. And Randy vs Cody at Mania? Man... I really hope they don't do that, and just have a multiman hell in a cell or something. Just have everybody that Drew has attacked be involved in the title match at Mania. It's the only way to match that CM Punk and Roman star power.

The women's chamber had no stories between the women because they don't care and they're bad at booking. Rhea and Jade have had no build or even minor tension whatsoever because they don't care and they're bad at booking. The AJ Lee and Becky Lynch feud cooled off months ago, but they're gonna drag that corpse of a feud out to Mania because they don't care and they're bad at booking. Finn Balor somehow got a championship match despite not having won a singles match in months because they don't care and they're bad at booking. Randy won the chamber to win a single match at Mania against Drew. But that's not going to happen - undermining the chamber itself - because they don't care and they're bad at booking. Love that Danhausen.

I swear I heard Michael Cole say Jevon Evans is "taking the WWE by storm". Someone needs to contact the bureau of meteorology if there's both Evans AND Penta storms circling around WWE.

Very happy for Danhausen. I loved that entire thing but man does the feel like it doesn't fit the product, and sadly it isn't big enough to be worth the build up. As someone else said, just an announcement and entrance without the "box drama" would have been better and less disappointing to people who aren't me, who loved it. #awhooooWrestleTalkAaronWolfPack

Man, since Drew won the title, the WWE Championship has been hella unpredictable & entertaining. So, Drew V.S. Orton V.S. Fatu V.S. Rhodes V.S. Zayn? Or, any other combo? + Zayn or Rhodes might still turn heel,because who attacked Fatu & now Jey Uso? Interesting, interesting, interesting

Luke summed it up perfectly in isolation the show was fine, the matches were of a certain quality but on the whole it failed to truly build anything for Mania outside of finalising a couple of matches with graphics Danhausen I can fully see ending up in Triple AAA doing stuff with the likes of Mr Iguana Congrats on the 10 years you guys are always a highlight of my week here’s to another 10 years

Do you think Roman saying "We" in his promos isn't referring to Papa H and Creative but leaning into his politicking family led by a certain Final Boss who now has his summer free due to failing his Oscars bid? But more importantly, you guys going to get a bigger couch or we keeping the cosy vibes for the next 49 weeks of MNW?
