Few people had the opportunity to look good in the men’s Elimination Chamber due to two men dominating the match (well, one dominating 90% of it and the other nailing down the other 10%).

Balor hung in there with everyone, but toward the end, he went toe-to-toe with Braun Strowman, dropkicking and attacking the monster and even hitting a Coup de Grace on him to knock him out of the match for a bit. Then he ran on Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns a bit, even hitting a Coup de Grace on Reigns before Strowman came back and eliminated him.

That brief flurry wasn’t enough to register an elimination, and it probably won’t amount to anything in the grand scheme of things, but it was still nice to see, so we’ll give it a nod here.
