Here are a few interesting observations from the 2019 Elimination Chamber Pay Per View

Last night's Elimination Chamber PPV featured a lot of celebratory moments from Bayley and Sasha Banks winning the Women's Tag Team Titles to Finn Balor becoming the new Intercontinental Champion. Most importantly, Kofi Kingston has had an impromptu career boost in a matter of a few days.

Even if Elimination Chamber 2019 wasn't a perfect show from start-to-finish, it was good enough to prove that WWE doesn't need legends or part-timers to save the day once again. All they ever needed was to showcase some of their regular superstars with some great booking decisions to fulfill the expectations of the WWE Universe.

Nevertheless, here are a few interesting observations from the 2019 Elimination Chamber:


#3 Top-Notch storytelling comes to fruition

If you recall, it seemed as if Bayley was pulling most of the weight when it came to Sasha Banks and her leading up to the Elimination Chamber itself.

In a sense, we witnessed that there was some sort of a disconnect between the Boss 'N' Hug Connection. While that may have seemed confusing before last night's PPV, all of it made sense when it was Sasha Banks who took her team to victory in the end.

This was a long time coming. Both of these women have worked hard to get to this point, and the emotional release following their win was pretty evident too, as even the commentary team (most notably Beth Pheonix) got swept in emotions if you noticed closely.

Regardless, one could go on praising this moment throughout the entire blog, but let's save the praising for some other great moments that happened last night. One does hope that both Bayley and Sasha Banks find success in what's to come in the near future, including WrestleMania 35.

Which team should challenge The Boss 'N' Hug Connection for the Women's Tag Team Titles first? Sound off in the comments section below.

#2 Let's talk about the Lacey Evans cameo

What are your thoughts on Lacey Evans' random cameo during Elimination Chamber 2019?

Lacey Evans hasn't had a single RAW or SmackDown match following her appearance in the Royal Rumble last month.

The Lady of WWE has an interesting gimmick. Evans portrays a character that already separates her from the rest of the Women's roster. However, audiences are yet to witness her full potential in the ring, and the last thing anyone expected was for her to take a little stroll on the ramp during last night, without any direct purpose.

This could very well play into the character's primary motivation of putting herself to a higher standard as compared to the rest of the female roster.

What did you think? It goes without saying that her little cameo had a lot of fans confused. Nevertheless, let's hope that we get a better insight into Lacey Evans' character sooner than later.

#1 The Kofi Kingston Show

Elimination Chamber 2019 will always be regarded as a high point in Kofi Kingston's career

"11 years, baby. You deserve that" -Big E to Kofi, after the latter received a standing ovation for his performance.

Who would've thought that Kofi Kingston's career would see a sudden resurgence within a matter of a few days? What's even more baffling, is that all of this happened because of Mustafa Ali's injury. What are the odds?

It goes without saying that Kofi did justice as Mustafa's replacement in the Chamber match last night. Even though he came up short, Kofi Kingston won everyone's hearts. 11 years is a long time to be performing in the ring for WWE, and Elimination Chamber 2019 will always be regarded as a high point in Kofi Kingston's career.

Last night, he even got a louder response as compared to the most popular Superstar in WWE's current landscape, Becky Lynch.

So what's next? Perhaps a feud against R-Truth for the United States title? There is a lot of history between the two, and the US Title's relevance could certainly benefit from a high stakes feud heading into WrestleMania 35.

Otherwise, the most obvious choice would be to book Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 (I never thought I would type those words two weeks ago).

Needless to say, the filter of pancakes and Booty-O's made us all forget that Kofi Kingston is one of the most hardworking WWE Superstars even to this day, and he still has a lot left in the tank!
