6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2024

2. New Age Opportunist

For years, Edge lived by the nickname “The Ultimate Opportunist” after his Money in the Bank cash-ins. Saturday night, Drew McIntyre might have borrowed that title due to his performance inside the Elimination Chamber.

McIntyre picked up the expected win, going wire-to-wire and eliminating three of his opponents. But all three of those pins came after capitalizing on situations, including two outside interferences. AJ Styles entered the chamber and obliterated LA Knight with a steel chair, allowing Drew to cover him. And later, an eliminated Logan Paul used brass knuckles on Randy Orton, and McIntyre pinned him to punch his ticket to WrestleMania 40.

The slow slide of McIntyre into becoming a pure heel has been a thing of beauty to watch, as he’s decried the underhanded tactics of the Bloodline, and now he’s openly taking advantage of those same situations with no hesitation or remorse.

All of this makes Drew – a dangerous opponent for Seth Rollins on its face – even more of a threat because he won’t let any advantage slip by.
