WWE Elimination Chamber 2014: 4 Talking Points

The larger than life match between The Shield and the Wyatt Family.

Wyatt Family vs. The Shield

It was the match which had more heat than the Elimination Chamber match, and it lived more than up to its expectations. The crowd were supporting, cheering and chanting for both the factions, because they were experiencing (probably) the best match of their life.

These 6 men came up with moves which no on could have ever expected from them, for instance a suicide dive by Luke Harper. Surprise was a big element in this match. The game plan of isolating all three members of The Shield did the job for the Wyatt Family, who sent Rollins crashing through the Spanish announce table (from the American announce table) and left Ambrose in the crowd, leaving Reigns to handle all three of them.

For a while Reigns did handle all three of them with the help of all his big signature moves but Wyatt came up with the finishing touch as he delivered the Sister Abigail to Reigns and picked up the huge victory. This match alone was better than most of the recent ppv main event matches.

…But what will be the follow up?

Is it The Shield’s fall?

In this perfect match between The Shield and the Wyatt Family, only one team could win and it was the Wyatt Family, though you can’t call The Shield ‘losers.’ In this feud full of great promos, the ending was incredible, but do you see a continuation of this feud?

It doesn’t seem like this feud would continue because later in the night, the Wyatt Family attacked John Cena and Daniel Bryan inside the Chamber, the Sister Abigail was responsible for Cena’s elimination which means the Wyatt Family-John Cena feud has resumed, a feud that started when the Wyatt Family cost Cena another Championship match at Royal Rumble.

With the Wyatt Family busy with Cena until WrestleMania, it looks like that The Shield will have to find new rivals or make one out of their own team since they lost a big match at the ppv and somebody has to be responsible for it.

Is the idea of putting all their money on Randy Orton-Batista at WrestleMania XXX any good for WWE?

Randy Orton

As expected Randy Orton retained his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber, and that means he is going to headline WrestleMania with his old friend/foe, Batista. This is Triple H’s dream, which the WWE Universe don’t want to live.

During his match with Del Rio, Batista was getting more boos than the times when he was actually a heel, the crowd was totally behind Alberto. Batista is right, we have to “deal with it,” with this Orton-Batista main event at WrestleMania, nobody wants to see this match, especially at WrestleMania.

Randy Orton has kept hold of the Championship because WWE has chosen him over Bryan or CM Punk, just to book a match between him and the undeserving Royal Rumble winner, Batista. Only a good storyline/build up is going to placate the fans. But, by now it looks like than the WWE Universe has accepted this harsh reality.

Will Bryan finally come up with an answer to Kane’s attacks?

Bryan was again attacked by Kane and this time when he came the closest to winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With the Elimination Chamber match over, it looks like Bryan can now focus on his rivalry with his old friend, a rivalry which will eventually lead to a feud with Triple H that would result in a match between the two at WrestleMania XXX.

But, that wouldn’t determine an end to this feud between Kane and Bryan. Until Bryan doesn’t defeat Kane in a one-on-one match, Kane definitely won’t stop his attacks on Bryan, and this has to happen before the Triple H-Bryan feud intensifies.

The way they are putting Bryan in such tough situations is making him look like nothing but a hero, who will fight against the odds and eventually win the Championship, which is definitely going to be a memorable moment. But for now, we expect Bryan to turn up at Raw with an answer for Kane.
