With Ziggler still having the briefcase it's odd to me to see him in this kind of matches, which automatically tells you it's a loss for him.

The Shield either win this one, or it is the downfall of the stable.

I think we are moving closer to Swagger vs Del Rio so I wouldn't be surprised to see him win the chamber.

Overall, a 3/5 show. Here are some of my observations (without going into detail): - Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of ADR/Show. Del Rio's lucha libre inspired offense was a good way to undermine the much more imposing Show. ADR's attempts at cross arm breakers were quite suspenseful, and the crowd seemed to be into it. Good opener.
- Absolutely DETESTED the ending of Cesaro/Miz. Is this going to be a regular thing in WWE now? Did Bruce Hart book this match? Antonio's creative holds saved this match from getting negative stars.
- Good Chamber match. In the beginning I thought it was going to be one of WWE's worst, but the final few eliminations were great. I'm going to probably consider a healthy middle ground between awful and amazing because of that. Glad to see Swagger win the Chamber match, but it may be too soon. It's only been a week since Zeb Colter debuted, but it already seems like they're getting over based on crowd reaction. We'll see what happens from here.
- Average TV-quality match from Kofi and Ziggler in spite of its high tempo. What in the world did Kofi do to piss someone off? He's been on the butt-end of some ridiculous squashes as of late, and Big E.'s beatdown is only the upteenth time this has happened in the past few months.
- Shield/Cena-Ryback-Sheamus had some exciting moments and great performances from Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, but it was still quite forgettable apart from a few of its well-executed spots.
- Tamina/Kaitlyn match was slightly above par for Divas matches but it was still pretty bland.
- Punk/Rock, apart from near falls, was very underwhelming. This time, the table doesn't break for Punk's attempt at a Rock Bottom. The ref injuries and kick-outs added a ton of drama but the first two-thirds of the match was really meh. This feud could have been so much better. Now that it's pretty much a Rock/Cena II main event, it'll be interesting to see where Punk goes from here. Like I said before, I'm pretty sure it's going to be Taker.
I honestly feel that every match on the show will be something we'll be forgetting about this time next year, despite the great card (on paper). Your thoughts? |
