7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2023
1. A Taste Of What’s Next
Begrudging looks of respect between Sami and Kevin Owens are nothing new, but there was something different about the one they shared as Elimination Chamber went off the air. A heartbroken Zayn (he was disappointed, Cole!) started to realise that he'd failed to beat Roman, and KO looked legit gutted for his on/off friend.
Next stop: WrestleMania tag-team partners.
That glance or two between the pair was a sign of what's to come, and so was Sami spearing Jey Uso unintentionally. Now, Jimmy can get in his brother's head and claim that Zayn was never properly family. After that, KO and Sami can come together to end The Usos' dominance over the tag division.
The Usos vs. Kevin and Sami is strong enough to headline 'Mania's opening night. It probs won't, but it certainly has the chops to do so if Triple H deems that necessary. Despite Chamber closing doors (hopefully temporarily) on Zayn's main event aspirations, he and his fans still have a lot to look forward to.
Hope out of heartbreak.
