Becky Lynch vs. Lita for the RAW Women's Championship (WWE Elimination Chamber 2022)
Fans had low expectations for Becky Lynch vs. Lita for the RAW Women's Championship at Elimination Chamber 2022. Lita hasn't been an active competitor or faced a female in singles action in 15 years. The ladies delivered a compelling buildup to this bout, but many didn't think this would go beyond eight minutes.
However, Lita and Becky exceeded expectations. Lita looked as good as she did back in 2006. Not only did she perform her signature hits but threw in new moves. Becky did well to sell and even busted out the moonsault to taunt the Hall of Famer.
The final sequence had fans on the edge of their seats. After Lynch missed the moonsault, Lita dropped her with The Twist of Fate. The WWE Hall of Famer hit her moonsault for a close near fall before Becky caught her out of nowhere with the Manhandle Slam. This was arguably the best match of the night.

Bobby Lashley vs. Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles vs. Austin Theory vs. Riddle vs. Brock Lesnar in an Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship (WWE Elimination Chamber 2022)
The WWE Universe felt like the Men's Elimination Chamber Match would go down as one of the best in-ring editions of the stipulation. Early on, attention was directly on Bobby Lashley. The match started with Seth Rollins hitting a Bucklebomb on Austin Theory to Lashley's pod, crushing the glass on the WWE Champion.
Riddle and AJ Styles came in to try to put the attention back on the action, but everyone was occupied with what was going on with Lashley. Brock Lesnar gave fans a memorable moment when he broke out of his pod, going berserk on everyone in the Chamber.
Brock eliminated Riddle, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles before putting his eye on Theory. Lesnar chased Austin all over the Chamber before catching up, but Theory landed a low blow. He then got a fun hope spot with Brock's impeccable selling adding to the moment. However, it wasn't long before Lesnar hit an F-5 off a pod to beat Theory. It was the fun final portion that drove this over the top.
