Yeah I literally don't know why the fuck they couldn't just have Roman win the chamber. Instead having him come out and say he's next is a better option.

AJ Styles vs Aleister Black could be MOTYC if given the time but we'll see. I really don't want aleister to lose but AJ is gonna face Undertaker so he literally can't lose. UNLESS... Undertaker costs him the match

These have to be the worst Chamber matches in history, as far as lack of star power.

The women’s match is clearly just going to be a Shayna squash fest, no mystery there.

The tag team match has clusterfuck written all over it. Way to many bodies for a chamber match.

And it really exposes the lack of depth in the women’s and tag team divisions.

Shayna, Asuka, the Job Squad 2.0 and boring as fuck Natalya is the least exciting chamber line up I could image. There are not enough credible contenders to support two women’s divisions. The titles need to be unified ASAP.

Same for the tag division. Aside from Miz and Morrison how many more times can we see the Usos and New Day trade the titles back and forth. Lucha House Party is a throw away. Ziggler and Roode are just a makeshift team and Heavy Machinery are comedy jobbers. Like the women’s titles there should be one tag division for both brands.

Aside from Braun single handily squashing Sami’s nerd herd, there’s nothing else on this card that I’d even care to watch.

I don't really think heavy machinery are comedy jobbers.

Gulak/Bryan confirmed as of SmackDown. The card should be mostly finalized. Not an important show by any means, but I guess I could see a few of these matches being sleepers.

Bryan and Gulak could be really solid I imagine. I like what they have done so far with the two and I like that Gulak is doing something significant again.

It's a refreshing break for Bryan out of the main event scene as well that lets him still be entertaining. I'm sure people are bitching about it saying he's being buried still...but fuck 'em.

Tbh, this whole card doesn’t look so bad albeit the predictable women’s chamber match but honestly this card looks decent enough.

This is gonna be a boring PPV. My only fave in a match is Seth and he's likely gonna lose.

Tag team Chamber match should be good, but the women's one is painfully predictable.

I also prob won't be chatting during this show cos I'll be posting from my iPad instead of my laptop (need to use my laptop to stream the PPV to my TV), and my iPad is too slow to run the chatbox, like it lags to a ridiculous extent. So I'll just have to post in the thread itself every now and then. Bah.

Literally every match on this card has a lot of potential except the handicap match.

AJ vs Black could be phenomenal (no pun intended) and Bryan vs Gulak could also be really good if given time.

Here are my thoughts on the card.

Women's Chamber - meh, it'll probably be decent enough but I don't have high hopes it'll be super entertaining. Shayna is the obvious winner, which I don't think hurts the match anymore than everything else already does.

Handicap IC Title match - Not expecting much from this at all, Braun showcase most likely. Cesaro, Shinsuke, and Sami all deserve better, but mostly Cesaro.

Tag Title Chamber - Could be MOTN, the gimmick is a little chaotic though so it could end up falling apart. Miz & Morrison will probably retain but they have a couple different feuds going on here, so I wouldn't be too surprised if Roode/Dolph won to set up a Heavy Machinery match down the line.

Black/Styles - This should be awesome, I just hope the No DQ stipulation doesn't make this full of OC fuckery. A little would be fine, but let this be similar to Black/Cole's Extreme Rules match and we'll have MOTN here easily.

Street Profits vs Rollins/Murphy - should be fun, hopefully better than the SaudiMania match as that one was a little basic, but their Raw match was already better than it.

Andrade/Carrillo - They always have fire matches, this should be no different...hopefully they do manage SOMETHING different though so these matchups don't start getting stale.

Gulak/Bryan - Gimme a good technical showcase PLEASE :homer: also I want Drake Maverick and maybe Heath Slater involved somehow :side:
