WWE Elimination Chamber 2019: 3 things we are glad did not happen at the pay-per-view

WWE Elimination Chamber once again was packed with good matches and some spots which left the crowds in awe. From title changes to surprise showdowns, the show gave fans a good taste of what to except at WrestleMania 35.

The event saw a few championships change hands, and some being retained in grand fashion. One particular spot that the fans loved included The Man Becky Lynch giving Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair a beatdown, which might lead to a triple-threat match at WrestleMania.

Even though there were a few great spots, there were surely some questionable ones and some bookings that didn’t make much sense, we are glad a few things didn’t happen at the event which could have resulted in some bad bookings.

Here's a look at three things we are glad did not happen at the pay-per-view.

#3 Finn Balor pinning Bobby Lashley for the title

The Extraordinary Man had the last laugh

Balor has been an outstanding performer in WWE for quite some time now, and the lack of a championship belt around his waist was surely denting his reputation a bit.

The former Universal Champion squared off against Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley and his mouthpiece Lio Rush for the championship.

Thankfully, Balor pinned Lio Rush to win the Intercontinental Championship rather than Bobby Lashley.

While Lashley too deserves a title around his waist, Balor pinning Rush means the Lashley and Balor feud can now go further into WrestleMania for the belt without Lio Rush interfering any further.

It also does not ruin Rush’s reputation as he is mainly a 205 Live performer, and can go back to the brand and fit in comfortably there. As for Lashley, his character probably took the best turn last night after he attacked his mouthpiece after losing the title.

#2 The Miz and Shane McMahon retaining the Tag Team Championships

The Usos set a new record for SmackDown Live

While The Miz and Shane McMahon weren’t the best tag team on SmackDown, at least they were better than the last few Raw Tag Team Champions.

The duo was challenged by arguably SmackDown’s best tag team The Usos for the championships at Elimination Chamber. After a decent match, which surprisingly saw Shane McMahon shine, the challengers managed to win the titles for a record-breaking fourth reign.

This did not come as much of a surprise, but there was still a chance of Shane and The Miz retaining the title to take their story forward. However, now seems like a good time for the two to have a fallout soon and prepare for a match at WrestleMania 35.

The Usos winning the championships was most definitely the best decision to come out of the night, as The Miz and Shane retaining wouldn’t have done much for the tag team division.

#1 Nia Jax and Tamina winning the Women’s Tag Team Championships

The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection made history last night

The Women’s Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber match was one of the most anticipated matches of the night which saw six women tag teams battle it out to become the inaugural champions.

As expected by many fans, Bayley and Sasha Banks deservingly won the Women’s Tag Team Championships even though they were the first entrants in the match.

While the other teams were also solid during the match, Bayley and Sasha surely showed why they deserve the title more than other teams.

The other team which was among the favorites to win the match was Nia Jax and Tamina’s who got eliminated second last in the match and ended any more speculation of who would win. The final bout between the teams of Bayley and Sasha, and Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville was good and kept things interesting with a team from Raw and a team from SmackDown having an equal chance at the titles.
