WWE ELIMINATION CHAMBER

Sunday, February 23rd, 2014
Minneapolis


BIG E. LANGSTON vs. JACK SWAGGER: The crowd was really into this towards the end. Kind of still surprised that Swagger held the title once. It was okay stuff. **

THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS vs. THE USSO'S: Really? It's not 1997 still, is it? I didn't watch this.

TITUS O'NEILL vs. DARREN YOUNG: On a ppv? Really? I didn't watch this.

THE WYATT FAMILY vs. THE SHIELD: Good match, strange match. Six heels. Huh? Well Roman Reigns is leaning face and will apparently be the next big star...so they have him be pinned. Nice. Early it was okay but got exciting late. They put Seth Rollins through the Spanish announce table. **1/2

CAMERON vs. AJ LEE: Didn't watch. Kind of a shame that the women's division is a joke.

BATISTA vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO: I laughed when Batista was booed out of the building the entire match. Del Rio was cheered. Michael Cole said it was because of NAFTA. Del Rio came out with a crutch and neck brace then beat Batista with the cruch then ended up losing pretty fast. It's hilarious that Batista is being booed. *

RANDY ORTON vs. SHEAMUS vs. JOHN CENA vs. DANIEL BRYAN vs. CHRISTIAN vs. CESARO ELIMINATION CHAMBER: Good match, albeit not one of the better EC matches. No one was pinned until Christian lept off the top of a pod and onto Sheamus and pinned him at 26 minutes in. The Wyatts came out and beat up Cena for no reason leading to Orton pinning Cena. Early on it was a little dull. Bryan and Orton were the last two left and Bryan did kick out of one RKO but Kane interfered and Orton won and what the fuck? How many times will Bryan be screwed out of the title? No wonder CM Punk quit this company. ***
