Alright, let’s go. Time to run the catch-up and get rolling.
Elimination Chamber was live from Toronto’s SkyDome “Rogers Centre.” Thanks, guys, that’s a cool name. Definitely as cool as SkyDome.
Arriving: Cody Rhodes! Kevin Owens! “The Affable” Sami Zayn! Damian Priest! Seth Rollins! Logan Paul! Drew McIntyre! CM Punk (bumps fists with a normie, is a Good Guy)!
Naomi vs Liv Morgan vs Bianca Belair vs Bayley vs Roxanne Perez vs Alexa Bliss
Elimination Chamber Match
Starting with Naomi and Morgan, but before they can lock up, Jade Cargill’s music hits. Liv Morgan is reacting heavily, and Jade enters the cage — but Jade attacks Naomi! The crowd pops big for that! I wanna say, Naomi was awesome here, if you looked at her, while Morgan was drawing your eye, you could see Naomi selling Jade’s approach on her face. She did it subtly (by wrestling standards), as if she was hoping that maybe Jade, like, somehow didn’t know.
But yes. It was Naomi. Bianca Belair is going absolutely insane in her Chamber pod.
Cole: “Does she believe it was Naomi! Who attacked her!”
McAfee: “…she’d be the only one who would know, Cole!”
It’s the professional idiot’s finest moment as a wrestling commentator, at least.
And Jade is just absolutely beating Naomi’s ass. Pillar-to-post stuff. Crushes her in the big Chamber door. Bianca’s pod acting is fucking hysterically bad. Jade leaves, leaving Naomi basically dead, which is great, because it means the least Naomi possible. As they bring the stretcher out for Naomi, Liv Morgan laughs, then goes over to rub it in Bianca’s face, and Bianca is continuing her bullshit. For some reason Alexa Bliss is also upset, more than Bayley is, and Bayley is Naomi’s friend.
Anyway, no replacement, it’s countdown time, and Wow What Do You Know It Is Bianca, who runs over to check on Naomi, who is out of the cage, with even worse physical acting than her verbal. Incredible performance from Bianca. All-timer. Morgan attacks Belair, and we will have a match!
