This sh*t again.

At December's Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view, the planned payoff to the Baron Corbin/Braun Strowman rivalry couldn't go ahead thanks to the 'Monster Among Men's nagging injury problems. You're permitted to forget that though - he required full rehabilitation ahead of a Royal Rumble scrap with Brock Lesnar that didn't go ahead either. This programme, more than anything else in the entire organisation, reflects WWE at its most meaningless.

The Road To WrestleMania again looks full of enough potholes to derail Braun Strowman, as if he's not been sidelined enough over the past 12 months. His tag title win last year was reduced to comedy, but the joke isn't funny anymore.

Baron Corbin flitted between push and punchline depending on the height of his opponents last year, and 2019 hasn't exactly bucked the trend. He'll end Elimination Chamber looking at the same spotlights that will doubtless shine upon him again whenever Finn Bálor needs putting back in his box.

Winner - Braun Strowman
