If you were keeping score in the men’s Elimination Chamber match, you’d notice that two men registered all the pinfalls: Randy Orton (two) and Drew McIntyre (three). That meant the other four men had to make noise in different ways.

Kevin Owens and Logan Paul occupied themselves quite well battering each other throughout the match, with Paul factoring in directly to Orton’s elimination at the end. But for Bobby Lashley and LA Knight, the chamber felt like an underwhelming night for both.

Lashley did hit a sweet spear on Logan through a pod, but that spot also has become standard in a chamber match, and he was unceremoniously eliminated first with a Claymore while he was trying to cinch in a Hurt Lock.

Knight was the first one in the match, and he did little to stand out in the field once the bell rang, spending large portions lying on the floor while KO and Paul fought. He got a visual pinfall on McIntyre before AJ Styles interfered and battered him with a chair, but there wasn’t much else to his appearance.

It was a far cry from the megastar that some fans were saying should have been strapped up against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel less than four months ago.
