Elimination Chamber

By Scott Keith on 7 March 2020

Hiya Scott

I actually think the Elimination Chamber, much like the Rumble, is one of the few things the WWE has that still feels relatively likely to bring a good, entertaining match.

However, I've always felt the scheduling of this particular ppv is crazy due to the direct Rumble -> Mania link for title bouts. This year has been the strongest example yet of how much that link neuters the EC ppv, with almost zero build or genuine stakes to the Chamber matches.

I think it should move to another point in the year. I'd suggest switching it with Survivor Series (or simply replacing it, given that SS as a "big four" has basically died a death nowadays anyway). It'd give the Chamber matches more space to breathe and allow some more prestigious feel to it.

What do you think?

Hey, it started at Survivor Series 2002. It's a great place for it. I 100% agree that it's in a wasted position where it is right now. I agree with the other idea floating around that they should switch the February show to the women's Evolution one, with a main event of the Women's Rumble so that it divides up the men's and women's matches.
