Critics also praised both Elimination Chamber matches and theEdge andBeth Phoenix vs.The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor andRhea Ripley)mixed tag team match, but some were critical of the ending of theBrock Lesnar vs.Bobby Lashley match.Dave Meltzer of theWrestling Observer Newsletter rated all but one match four stars or higher, with the highest rating going to the main event (4.75 stars), and the lowest to the Lesnar-Lashley match (2.25 stars).

Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]
The event was held at theBell Centre inMontreal,Quebec,Canada, which wasWWE's first major event to be held here sinceBreaking Point in September 2009. The arena was also the site of the infamousMontreal Screwjob which occurred in the1997 Survivor Series.

Elimination Chamber is agimmickevent first produced by the American promotionWWE in 2010. It has been held every year since, except in 2016, generally in February. The concept of the event is that one or twomain event matches are contested inside theElimination Chamber, either with championships or future opportunities at championships at stake.[2] Announced on October 24, 2022, the 13th Elimination Chamber event was scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at theBell Centre inMontreal,Quebec,Canada, and featured wrestlers from theRaw andSmackDownbrand divisions. This marked the first Elimination Chamber event to be held in Canada, and the second to be held outside of the United States, after the2022 event, which was held inSaudi Arabia. This also marked the first major WWE event to be held in Montreal sinceBreaking Point in September 2009. The event aired onpay-per-view worldwide and was available tolivestream onPeacock in the United States and theWWE Network in most international markets.[3][4] It was also the first Elimination Chamber to livestream onBinge inAustralia after the Australian version of the WWE Network merged underFoxtel's channel Binge in January.[5] It was also announced that the February 17 episode ofFriday Night SmackDown would airlive from the same venue. Premium hospitality packages went on sale on October 28 before general public tickets became available on November 18.[3][4]

In 2011 and since 2013, the event has been promoted as "No Escape" inGermany as it was feared that the name "Elimination Chamber" may remind people of thegas chambers used during theHolocaust.[6][7]

Storylines

[edit]

The event included five matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayedheroes,villains, orless distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[8][9] while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows,Monday Night Raw andFriday Night SmackDown.[10]

AfterRoman Reigns retained theUndisputed WWE Universal Championship at theRoyal Rumble,The Usos (Jey Uso andJimmy Uso) andSolo Sikoa attacked Reigns' opponent,Kevin Owens, while honoraryBloodline memberSami Zayn watched on in uncertainty, as Owens was Zayn's former best friend. As Reigns was about to attack a defenseless Owens with a steel chair, Zayn pleaded with Reigns to stop. Reigns then instructed Zayn to attack Owens with the chair to prove his loyalty to The Bloodline. After being berated by Reigns, Zayn turned on Reigns and attacked him with the chair instead. Zayn apologized to Jey for his actions only for Jimmy, Sikoa, and Reigns to attack Zayn. An emotionally distraught Jey, who initially took a liking to Zayn, watched on before leaving the ring as the rest of The Bloodline continued the assault on both Zayn and Owens.[11] On the following episode ofSmackDown, as Reigns tried to address the events at the Royal Rumble, Zayn attacked Reigns from behind and stated that he initially did not want anything from Reigns, but he now wanted the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Jey was absent that night, and Jimmy and Sikoa attacked Zayn, after which, Reigns accepted his challenge, stating that since Zayn hurt his family, he would hurt Zayn in front of his own family in Montreal.[12]

On January 30, it was announced thatAustin Theory would defend theUnited States Championship in an Elimination Chamber match, marking the first time for the title to be contested in the structure.[13] Qualifying matches began on that night's episode ofRaw, withSeth "Freakin" Rollins,Johnny Gargano, andBronson Reed earning their spots in the match by defeatingChad Gable,Baron Corbin, andDolph Ziggler, respectively.[14] The last two qualifying matches took place on the following week's episode, whereDamian Priest andMontez Ford earned their spots by defeatingAngelo Dawkins andElias, respectively.[15]

On the January 30 episode ofRaw, WWE officialAdam Pearce announced that due to the women'sRoyal Rumble match winner choosing to challenge for theSmackDown Women's Championship atWrestleMania 39,Bianca Belair's challenger for theRaw Women's Championship at WrestleMania would be determined by an Elimination Chamber match, consisting of three wrestlers from both Raw and SmackDown each. The first qualifiers were confirmed as the four runner ups in the women's Royal Rumble match:Asuka andNikki Cross from Raw andLiv Morgan andRaquel Rodriguez from SmackDown.[14] The fifth and sixth spots were decided in twofatal four-way matches. The first took place on the February 3 episode ofSmackDown, whereNatalya defeatedShayna Baszler,Shotzi, andZelina Vega,[12] while the second occurred on the February 6 episode ofRaw, where the returningCarmella defeatedCandice LeRae,"Michin" Mia Yim, andPiper Niven.[15] The following week, bothBecky Lynch andBayley expressed their desire to compete in the Elimination Chamber match, however, Belair interrupted and stated that if they wanted to compete in the match, they should go through her first. Pearce then scheduled atriple threat match for that night, where if Bayley or Lynch won, then they would be added to the match, however, if Belair won, neither would be added; Belair was victorious.[16]

AtExtreme Rules in October 2022,Judgment Day memberFinn Bálor defeatedEdge in an"I Quit" match after fellow Judgment Day member,Rhea Ripley, forced him to quit after threatening to attack Edge's wifeBeth Phoenix with acon-chair-to. Despite Edge giving up, Ripley still attacked Phoenix with the maneuver.[17] At the Royal Rumble, Edge returned as an entrant in the men's Royal Rumble match, where he faced off against Judgment Day members Bálor,Damian Priest, andDominik Mysterio. After Edge eliminated Bálor and Priest, Edge tried to eliminate Mysterio, however, Bálor and Priest eliminated Edge. A brawl then ensued between Edge and Judgment Day on the entrance aisle. Ripley then joined only for Phoenix to make her return and perform a Spear on Ripley.[11] On the February 6 episode ofRaw, Edge and Phoenix challenged Bálor and Ripley to amixed tag team match at Elimination Chamber, which Bálor accepted.[15]

At the2022 Royal Rumble,Bobby Lashley defeatedBrock Lesnar, thanks to outside interference.[18] They had a rematch atCrown Jewel in November which Lesnar won, although Lashley dominated the match.[19] AtRaw is XXX on January 23, 2023, Lesnar returned from hiatus and cost Lashley his United States Championship match.[20] The two then competed in the 2023 men's Royal Rumble match where Lashley eliminated Lesnar.[11] On the February 6 episode ofRaw, Lesnar appeared with a contract to challenge Lashley to another match at Elimination Chamber. Lashley came out and stated that he would give Lesnar an answer later on after reviewing the contract. This prompted Lesnar to attack Lashley with two F-5s.[15] A contract signing for the match occurred the following week, and after Lashley laid out Lesnar, he signed the contract to make the match official.[16]

Main event

[edit]
Montreal-nativeSami Zayn received enormous favorable crowd reaction and praise for his performance in the main event.[21]

In the main event, Roman Reigns (accompanied byPaul Heyman) defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Sami Zayn. As soon as the match started, the hometown crowd cheered for Zayn, while viciously booing and hurling insults towards Reigns. Reigns withstood an offensive flurry by Zayn before taunting the crowd, including Zayn's wife, who was seated in the front row. Zayn performed a Sunset Bomb on Reigns for a nearfall. Reigns performed a Uranage on Zayn for a nearfall. Zayn countered a Superman Punch into an Exploder Suplex. Reigns countered a Helluva Kick into a Superman Punch for a nearfall.

Outside the ring, Reigns attempted a Spear, however, Zayn stepped out of the way, causing him to crash into the barricade. Back in the ring, Zayn performed a Blue Thunderbomb on Reigns for a nearfall. As Zayn attempted a second Blue Thunderbomb, Reigns countered and sent Zayn into the referee, incapacitating him. Zayn then performed a Helluva Kick, however, the referee was unable to count the pin. Jimmy Uso, who was told by Heyman to stay home a week prior, appeared and performed an Uso Splash on Zayn. Jimmy placed Reigns onto Zayn and a new referee came out to count the pin which resulted in a nearfall. Reigns performed a second Spear on Zayn for a nearfall. As Reigns attempted another Superman Punch, he accidentally incapacitated the new referee. Heyman obtained a chair from under the ring and passed it to Reigns.

Reception

[edit]

The event received positive reviews, with critics praising both Elimination Chamber matches, the execution of the main event, and the mixed tag team match, but were critical of the Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley match.

Brent Brookhouse ofCBS Sports gave the Lesnar-Lashley match a grade of C−, stating that the match was "not satisfying in any way but that was likely the means to an end to get to a no-disqualification rematch at WrestleMania." He called the women's Elimination Chamber match "solid, if unspectacular," the mixed tag team match was "well-put together" and "made the Montreal crowd happy," and the men's Elimination Chamber match was "solid," and that Logan Paul's interference "won't satisfy many but it's building to a very obvious WrestleMania match." Brookhouse gave the main event match a grade of A, stating that "a hot crowd always makes a wrestling match better and Montreal was positively on fire," and that "the ending won't satisfy everyone," but "the match was given time and Zayn was positioned as a legitimate threat."[22]

Erik Beaston ofBleacher Report called the women's Elimination Chamber match a "smartly laid-out match," and gave the Lashley-Lesnar match a grade of C+, stating that if they were to set up a match between Lashley andBray Wyatt without Lesnar losing clean, "don't book the guy whose desperation lost him the match to then look like a dominant monster seconds later." He called the mixed tag team match "energetic" while saying that the finish to the match suggested that Bálor vs. Edge at WrestleMania 39 "is now off the table," and that Beth Phoenix vs. Rhea Ripley "feels like a match WWE can revisit at any point." Beaston gave the men's Elimination Chamber match a grade of A+, stating that the match "was an NXT-ish Chamber match," and that everyone involved had "the chance to shine rather than being set dressing for the one or two guys who actually matter." He concluded that the match "strengthened the Raw brand through expert booking." Beaston also gave the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match a grade of A+, calling it "professional wrestling perfection," a "dramatic masterpiece," and that Roman Reigns was "the master of the near-fall, shooting his shoulder off the mat at the last possible second to maximize the reaction." He said that "the story was all about Zayn and Jey, who started as rivals before developing a friendship that is now in question after the events of the past month," and that "their story will define what they do at The Show of Shows." Beaston said that Reigns and Zayn "delivered an instant classic that will be on many year-end award lists 10 months from now and recapped in "best of" lists for years to come," and that "everyone involved should be extremely proud of what they have accomplished."[23]

Sports Illustrated were also complimentary of the main event.[24]

The highest rated match on the card, according toDave Meltzer, was the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match, which received 4.75 stars. The men's Elimination Chamber match received 4.5 stars, the women's Elimination Chamber match and the mixed tag team match both received 4 stars, and Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley was the lowest rated match, receiving 2.25 stars.[25]

Aftermath

[edit]

Raw

[edit]

During the Elimination Chamber post-event press conference, United States Champion Austin Theory issued an open challenge for the title. The challenge was accepted by Edge, as he felt his feud with The Judgment Day was over.[26] On the following episode ofRaw, however, Edge lost due to interference from Finn Bálor.[27] The following week, Bálor said their feud was not done and challenged Edge to a match at WrestleMania 39.[28] On the March 6 episode, Edge interfered in Bálor's match, causing him to lose. Afterwards, Edge performed a Spear on Bálor and challenged him to meet him alone in the ring the following week.[29] There, the two agreed to aHell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 39[30] with Edge wanting to face Bálor's "Demon" persona[31] and Bálor agreed.[32]

Also onRaw, Sami Zayn addressed his loss at Elimination Chamber and said he needed to talk to one person, Kevin Owens. Zayn stated that despite their issues, the only thing that mattered was taking down The Bloodline, and that it could only be done together. Owens said that he only assisted Zayn so that Zayn's family would not have to see him get destroyed like Owens did in front of his own family at the Royal Rumble while Zayn had watched on. He followed up by saying that he would keep fighting The Bloodline alone and told Zayn to ask his "friend", Jey Uso, for help.[27]

Omos and his managerMVP addressed the match between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley from Elimination Chamber. MVP called Lesnar a coward and claimed that Lesnar intentionally got himself disqualified because Lesnar knew he could not break Lashley's Hurt Lock submission. MVP then invited Lesnar toRaw the following week to accept Omos' challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39.[27] On that episode, after MVP sold him on the match, Lesnar accepted to make it official.[28]

On the February 27 episode ofRaw, Seth "Freakin" Rollins called out Logan Paul to meet him face-to-face the following week, and Paul accepted.[28] There, Rollins wanted to fight, but Paul said he would not fight for free and hinted that they could fight at WrestleMania 39. WrestleMania hostThe Miz said he could make the match official, and it was later confirmed.[29]

Also on the following episode ofRaw, Bobby Lashley claimed that no one, including Bray Wyatt (who on theSmackDown before Elimination Chamber stated that he would target the winner of Brock Lesnar vs. Lashley), could break his Hurt Lock submission and stated that everyone needed to show him respect or else he would put them down.[27] Wyatt then began playing head games with Lashley on subsequent episodes ofRaw andSmackDown, which further enraged him.[33][28] Lashley then appeared on the March 3 episode ofSmackDown to confront Wyatt, but was instead confronted by Uncle Howdy, who Lashley fended off.[34] However, later that month, with Wyatt absent, the angle was dropped.[35] It was then reported that Wyatt was dealing with an undisclosed illness. On August 19, it was revealed that the illness was life-threatening, but he was making positive progress towards a return.[36] However, just five days later on August 24, Wyatt unexpectedly died of aheart attack. It was also revealed that the illness wasCOVID-19, which had exacerbated an existing heart issue.[37]

SmackDown

[edit]

On the following episode ofSmackDown, Paul Heyman informed Jimmy Uso that he needed to deal with his brother, Jey, or else Roman Reigns, who would be appearing the following week, would deal with Jey himself. Later that night, Jimmy cut a promo about always being there for Jey just like Jey was for him. Jimmy talked about The Bloodline's issues. Sami Zayn appeared and said that until the Royal Rumble, Jimmy had always been there for Zayn, including making him an honorary Bloodline member. Jimmy responded that it was Zayn who made the choice to betray The Bloodline and Jimmy put his family first, after which, Jey appeared from the crowd. Jimmy then attacked Zayn before Jey headed towards ringside, allowing Zayn to perform a Helluva Kick on Jimmy, who was urging Jey to join him. Afterwards, Solo Sikoa came out and Zayn retreated but had a brief staredown with Jey.[33] Over the coming weeks, Zayn tried to convince The Usos that Reigns was seemingly maniupulating them. Jimmy maintained loyalty to his family, while Jey's uncertainty continued until the March 6 episode ofRaw where he seemingly sided with Zayn, but turned on him,[29] because Zayn was not family.[38] The following week, Reigns' WrestleMania opponentCody Rhodes attempted to help mend things over between Owens and Zayn, but Owens refused; however, later that night, Owens came to Zayn's aid, who got ambushed by The Usos, and Owens and Zayn embraced.[39] On the March 20 episode ofRaw, The Usos acceptedOwens and Zayn's challenge for a match at WrestleMania 39 for theUndisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.[31]
