10 WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 Impulse Reactions

1. A New Day, Yes It Is?

As with The Miz and Shane McMahon's uneasy exit earlier in the night, Xavier Woods and Big E appeared to be giving the eyes elsewhere as they helped their fallen friend to the back following Kofi Kingston's Elimination Chamber heroics - might that yet be the fate of The New Day on the Road To WrestleMania?

Kingston stole the show alongside The New Daniel Bryan for the second time this week, and seems as close to a singles push as he has since he was booted out of the very same match by Edge over a decade ago.

The last time Kofi competed in the match, he did so alongside Woods and E, but the less time spent remembering 2015's catastrophic Tag Team Chamber, the better. Not least in the afterglow of one of the best ever incarnations of the match.

A Fastlane singles scuffle between the two surely awaits, with Kingson perhaps likely to fail again. Will it still be all be fun and games in the aftermath of two substantial setbacks, or will the legendary and merch-shifting magic finally dissipate under the pressure?
