7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2022
2. That Sudden Finish
Lita deserves praise for how well she matched Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber. Together, after a few early timing issues, they pieced together a match they can be proud of - looking on, few could've known that this was the legend's first singles action since 2012.
The finish though. It was sh*t.
Becky survived a Twist Of Fate attempt and hit a quick Manhandle Slam for the one, two, three. Fans in Saudi didn't see the three count coming at all, so they responded with audible grumbles, and it wasn't hard to see why. This sudden ending was a naff way to bring Lita's challenge to a close.
Honestly, yours truly was expecting her to kick out of that move and show a little more fire before being doused, but no. Lynch routinely picked up the win like this was WWE 2K22 and she'd started the match with stored finishers.
