WWE Elimination Chamber 2024: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

6. Chamber Bouts Suffer Stadium Struggles

WWE has booked Chamber matches in large-scale buildings before. They booked two of the things over in Saudi Arabia at Jeddah's Super Dome in February 2022, for example, but that place is smaller than Perth's Optus Stadium. Basically, this is an interesting experiment from the promotion.

Ask anyone who has witnessed Elimination Chamber live and they'll tell you some seats don't have the best view. The actual structure itself restricts visibility more than some might imagine, and that could be exacerbated in a huge stadium when folks are up in the nosebleeds looking down.

If so, then that'll lead to periods of unwanted silence.

Management will be desperate for Australia's masses to cheer and boo all night. They'll want a wall of noise, and certainly won't be chuffed if the titular Chamber matches play before a few minutes here or there of apathy. That'd be a disaster, and it won't translate well on TV either.
