Elimination Chamber 2019: Rating Every Match On The Main Card

Match #2: Shane McMahon and The Miz Vs. The Usos

Winner: The Usos

Rating: 3/5

Shane McMahon hits the leap of faith elbow on Jey Uso

This was The Miz and Shane McMahon’s first title defense since they won the Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble PPV. The match was quick and exciting to watch. Considering this was a Shane McMahon match, there were some pretty dangerous spots involved.

After getting the hot tag from The Miz, Shane McMahon proceeded to hit consecutive coast to coasts on the Usos. While he hit the first coast to coast on Jimmy Uso, he was met with a superkick by Jey Uso while attempting the second one.

Miz performed a unique springboard double axe handle which surprised him. Another dangerous spot in the match was when Shane McMahon hit a leap of faith elbow on Jey Uso through the announcer’s table.

The finish of this match was a bit weird though. Miz hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Jimmy Uso. But while attempting a pinfall, Jimmy Uso countered into a pinfall of his own. Thus, The Usos walked away as Tag Team Champs.

The result was good because now this also means that we may get to see The Miz Vs. Shane McMahon at WrestleMania.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
