My Thoughts
- I was a little nervous heading in, but Elimination Chamber turned out to be a pretty great event. The two Chamber matches were very fun to write, and then there was that triple threat SmackDown Women's Title match.
- Let's talk about that match for a second. Never in my wildest dreams did I see that one coming. Paige's ridiculous run as champ finally came to an end at the hands of Alexa Bliss, in one hell of grueling match. Just for comparisons, that match clocked in at just over 22 minutes. The two Chamber matches finished between 16-18 minutes each. Just amazing.
- Overall, I feel the Road to WrestleMania is more exciting now more than ever, and that's all I was hoping to accomplish with this event. Let's move on to some very intriguing upcoming developments...
Upcoming Developments(Rumored and Scheduled)
- The already announced Fastlane main event tag match, pitting AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels against Samoa Joe and Goldberg, will decide the main event of WrestleMania.
- Originally, Joe and Goldberg was supposed to be the main event, thanks to Joe winning the Rumble, but plans changed, largely to add interest in the tag match.
- Shawn Michaels came out of retirement for one last run, and it's been a big success. Good things can't last forever, and the thought is to have a title vs career match between him and AJ.
- Speaking of, it appears that Sunday's match may have been the last for the Great One. The Rock is contemplating his own retirement at this time.
- Thanks to their classic match at Elimination Chamber, interest in SmackDown's women division is at an all-time high. It's expected that their title match will be a majorly-promoted match for Mania.
- WrestleMania will also likely feature a brand vs brand match, with John Cena of Raw and Cesaro of SmackDown as early favorites.
- Post-WrestleMania, it's expected that branded pay-per-views will return, to give more talent the spotlight.
- There are currently "big plans" for Shinsuke Nakamura, though I will not reveal them at this time.
- Seth Rollins and Rusev both suffered injuries last week, and neither is expected back anytime soon.
That's it for now. Thanks for tuning into another edition of Behind the Universe, and I hope you're looking forward to Fastlane!
