WWE Elimination Chamber: 5 Key Things We Learnt

elimination chamber The final PPV before the grandaddy of them all Wrestlemania has now passed us by, and we are now on a solid course towards the April extravaganza. Let the predictions and wild speculation commence. But, perhaps it would be sensible to reflect on what was a stellar Elimination Chamber event, with the bearing its outcomes will have on Wrestlemania and the road to the prestigious event. With four championship matches, and a match inside the merciless confines of the Elimination Chamber to look forward to, it would prove to be a worthy night of creative booking. The main event of the evening was of course the Rock vs. CM Punk II for the Brahma Bull's newly won WWE Championship, with the stipulation that if the Rock was counted out or disqualified then he would lose the belt. With the main event of Wrestlemania against Royal Rumble winner John Cena on the line, you could expect the pair to pull out all the stops to produce an entertaining and unpredictable match. Speaking of Cena, he was competing in six-man tag team action, taking on the unified presence of the Shield alongside Sheamus and Ryback. With the Shield having targetted these individuals in the previous month with blindsided attacks, would Cena and company manage to take their revenge when the odds were even? However, the match that had the potential to steal the show was the namesake of the PPV, the Elimination Chamber Match, where Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, Daniel Bryan and Kane would compete to determine who would become the No. 1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. The combination of raw power and technical ability present in the match would certainly provide an unpredictable atmosphere, with so many roads to Wrestlemania possible for the "Big Gold Belt". The title of course was in a state of balance during the evening as well, when Alberto Del Rio would defend once again against The Big Show, in a match that would provide a great deal more than what was expected of it.
