10 WWE Elimination Chamber 2020 Impulse Reactions

10. The Viking Raiders Vs Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins

There was lots of WrestleMania talk on the Elimination Chamber Kickoff, not least because much of the pay-per-view the panel were tasked with covering felt pretty skippable. It brought forth the potency and power of the 'Show Of Shows' even in this content-heavy era...and hung over this opening clash like this year's absolutely glamorous sign.

The commentary team noted how Hawkins and Ryder had won the Raw Tag Team Championships at last year's event (though didn't talk about how the Viking Raiders lit up NXT one night earlier just weeks ahead of their cursed main roster call up), which was presumably to explain ahead of time how the duo could get so much offence in on the floundering Erik and Ivar.

An elongated heat sequence was the sum total, in truth, before a miscommunication gave the advantage back to the big lads who polished off Ryder with The Viking Experience. This sure was a match - something the four might not get outside of the Andre in one month's time.
