7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2023
5. Way Better Than Predicted
Being brutally honest, this fan wasn't up for the men's Chamber match before it started. The match completely exceeded expectations by delivering a fun sprint through some seriously cool spots. Christ, this was like a WWE 2K23 car crash of big bumps, and that's meant as a compliment.
Montez Ford's Spider-Man impression from the top of the structure was incredible, and Johnny Gargano's hurricanrana from atop one of the Chamber pods was frankly insane. In the end, Austin Theory retained (which was the right decision), and the match will be remembered as pure fun from beginning to end.
Take a bow, lads.
This was the best Gargano and Bronson Reed have looked since rejoining WWE. Similarly, Damian Priest got some shine in, and Theory came out looking like an opportunistic heel champion who will eat sh*t next time he isn't bailed out.
