WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 | An AWESOME Review-ish

Elimination Chamber was LIVE from the Tropicana Field in St Petersburg also known as the WWE ThunderDome. Keith Lee was originally scheduled to compete for the United States Championship, but he was removed from the match, because of a reported injury and so a fatal four way was scheduled for the kick off show, where John Morrison defeated Mustafa Ali, Elias and Ricochet. 

Main Card Results
Daniel Bryan won the Elimination Chamber match for an opportunity for the Universal Championship.

Roman Reigns defeated Daniel Bryan to remain Universal Champion.

Riddle won the United States Championship in a triple threat match against John Morrison and Bobby Lashley.

Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler successfully defended the Women's Tag Team Championships against Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair. 

Drew McIntyre won the Elimination Chamber match to remain the WWE Champion.

Chamber Review-ish
Daniel Bryan won the Elimination Chamber match and went on to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. Roman did the smart thing by not giving Bryan any opportunity to get to one hundred percent. It looks certain that Edge will challenge Roman for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania after spearing the champion. 

Riddle is the new United States Champion, congratulations to him on that achievement, he pinned John Morrison for the victory, it was interesting to see that Lashley wasn't involved in the pin fall and this wasn't the last we saw of him at this event. More about that later in the review-ish.

The Women's Tag Team Championship match went exactly as predicted, Reginald inadvertently cost Sasha and Bianca the match, resulting in Nia pinning "The Boss" for the win, Sasha and Bianca are sure to meet at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women's Championship and in regards to Nia and Shayna, I see them dropping the titles to Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez from NXT. It's all subject to change of course. 

Drew McIntyre remained the WWE Champion, after winning in the Chamber, lastly pinning AJ Styles for the win, really enjoyed watching the contest, particularly Kofi eliminating Randy Orton, "The Viper" can't blame Bray and Alexa for that one. There was a sense that something was about to happen, because the Chamber was going up and the event was only two hours and twenty something in, which proved to be the case. Lashley attacked Drew, leading towards the Miz cashing in, also, it's worth noting that MVP was seen talking to Miz backstage during the event, Miz ran down to the ring while Drew was on the mat and he cashed successfully, hitting "The Skull Crushing Finale" for the win and the title. 

Miz winning the WWE Title now makes Monday Night RAW tonight very interesting because of storyline progression. What will happen? We will have to tune in to find out! Thanks for reading.
