Hopefully they go a different route for Becky's WM match. Shayna ain't it. Out of the options in the chamber, Becky (c) vs Ruby is the probably the best choice.

Shayna is absolutely the right choice for Becky at WM.

Ugh, the crowd is going to **** on the women's Chamber match. Really not fair with the lack of star talent.

Chamber matches are star matches. They should only be for main titles and should have maximum 1 mid-card wrestler. If you can't gather up enough stars to fill one, have a different ppv. It's not the Rumble.

So Liv Morgan can make the chamber with this current gimmick but not Kairi Sane, ok then.

Also when is the last time anyone actually cared about Natalya and what she was doing in terms of wrestling, i'd say it has to be at least 8 years now.

Agree. Just like HIAC matches, they do way too many Chamber matches too.

Lowkey think the tag title chamber match should main event. Should be fun and Otis/Ziggler is really the only storyline that's over in either chamber match. Finish the show with Mandy getting involved somehow and Dolph screwing over Otis again.

Nothing in that women's chamber is interesting at all. Other than maybe Ronda returning, I don't think I'll care who wins that match.

I’m all for a decent squash match, but not to end what is supposed to be a “PPV”. I would of definitely liked to see a more competitive match there.

Shayna is definitely a great talent with a special presence. That booking did not help anyone. I would’ve had her start the match and run the table but showcase her talents in an iron woman type deal. She should’ve pretty easily squashed Liv and Sarah but had long competitive one on ones with everyone else. Let her get all her sh*t in and have asuka come in last and take her to the limit. Makes her look strong and doesn’t bury anyone important. Then at Mania I’d have her destroy Becky, Brock style, which I believe is the route they’re going to take. Becky and Seth are supposedly taking time off after mania. A humbling storyline is the right way to write her off and bring her back, fighting her way from the bottom.

Shayna swinging Liv onto the chamber and pod was ruthless

I really enjoyed this ppv.

Bryan vs Gulak was just outstanding. Interesting to see if this is the end of the story between them.
Probably not, because Gulak looked strong in defeat.

Styles vs Black was a bit weird. The OC just standing there in a no DQ match was stupid.
The match also was too long, because the only purpose was to set up Undertaker vs Styles for Mania.

Zayn getting his first non-NXT title, didn't see that happening last night.

I hope they don't have him lose it this week In a squash. Tired of "those hands" in 3 on 1 matches and squash matches.

Btw, Shayna is great when used correctly. The Riott Squad have varying degrees of use - with Ruby easily the best - but all 3 together aren't in her league.

Surprisingly solid PPV with a crap main event. I'm actually glad they gave the Tag-Team Division and RAW womens
division some shine by giving them a Chamber match. The Riott Squad members should never ever be in a Main Event
though.
