#9 Elimination Chamber

Two great Chamber matches.

This show may not be the most remembered one of the year, but it did play host to two completely different, yet fantastic Elimination Chamber matches. The night opened with a Chamber match to decide the first WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Sasha Banks and Bayley went the distance, last eliminating Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville to become the inaugural female tag champs in WWE. After that, most of the mid-card was forgettable. Ronda Rousey squashed Ruby Riott on the way to headlining WrestleMania.

In other action, the Usos won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship from The Miz and Shane McMahon, and Finn Balor won a handicap match to become the Intercontinental Champion. But the biggest match, and moment, of the night was the WWE Championship match inside the Elimination Chamber. Daniel Bryan defended his eco-friendly belt against five of SmackDown's best, including Kofi Kingston, who was a replacement in the match for the injured Mustafa Ali. Little did we know the magic that would be created.

Following a super hot final sequence, Bryan pinned Kofi to retain his title. But this sparked the birth of KofiMania, truly a happy accident.

#8 Crown Jewel

The surprise of the year?

Expectations for Crown Jewel 2019 were not high, especially considering the previous year's unexciting show. The involvement of big names from other combat sports helped carve out a different feel for the second and final Saudi Arabian show of 2019. While Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury were not particular highlights in their respective matches against Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman, Crown Jewel can still comfortably be called WWE's greatest Saudi Arabia. pay-per-view to date.

The show also made important history, when Natalya and Lacey Evans faced off in the first-ever women's match to take place in the country, in a moment that will surely bring hope to many. Elsewhere, Mansoor continued his hot streak by defeating Cesaro in a really good match. Hopefully he gets more opportunities on NXT TV in the coming year. Team Hogan, captained by Roman Reigns, defeated the Randy Orton-led Team Flair in a fun 10-man tag team match before the night was stolen by Bray Wyatt, in a Falls Count Anywhere match against Seth Rollins. 'The Fiend' would defeat Rollins for the Universal Championship, and on Halloween, no less.
