WWE Elimination Chamber 2022: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
A typically forgettable pre-WrestleMania filler show.
The seventh of WWE's PPV events - sorry, Premium Live Events - in Saudi Arabia certainly wasn't among their worst to date, but it's tough to imagine many coming away from this year's Elimination Chamber feeling all that excited for WrestleMania 38.
Despite a number of promising matches on the card, the show was a dumping ground of mediocrity with just a few occasional sprinklings of actual decent wrestling.
All it did was shuffle the typical players into place for their respective, mostly expected WrestleMania matches while offering nothing particularly surprising (in a good way, at least) or interesting.
Aside from one stinker of a match and another that never even officially got started, the eight-match card was defined by passable, forgettable bouts and maybe two you might remember for a week or so.
To the show's mild credit it at least wrapped up within a courteous three hours, though it clearly could've been even quicker were we not forced to sit through an exhausting glut of overlong video packages.
Like most WWE shows this was a wildly mixed effort that left fans fleeting between being moderately entertained and absolutely infuriated at the nonsensical booking...
8. WWE SmackDown Tag Titles: The Usos (c) Vs. The Viking Raiders
Result: The match ends in a no contest because it never actually starts, as the Usos ambush the Raiders while they make their way down to the ring.
Rating: What else really needs to be said about this one? Why even book the match in the first place if you're just going to burn it off?
Initial reports suggest the match wasn't cancelled for time or an injury, so why bother flying the Usos and the Raiders to Saudi Arabia for such a fleeting, insubstantial moment?
By default this is the worst "match"/segment of the night, and the sort of silly, time-wasting nonsense WWE needs less of. Nobody asked for this. 1/10.
