WWE Elimination Chamber 2022: Ranking and grading every match

Elimination Chamber is in the books, leaving WWE with a clear march towards WrestleMania 38. This was a solid showing, albeit with some questionable booking decisions.

Most of the matches delivered, once again showcasing how talented WWE's roster truly is. The women had a particularly great night, as we will get to. However, the ending has left a sour taste in fans' mouths, and Elimination Chamber may not be as fondly remembered as it should be.

Nevertheless, this was still one of WWE's best Saudi Arabian outings. Quite a few memorable matches and moments highlight this card, with six of them happening on the main show. The Usos vs. Viking Raiders showdown is not on this list, as it did not even happen due to a pre-match assault.

Anyway, let's take a look at every match at Elimination Chamber 2022, grade them, and rank them from worst to best. What was your favorite match on the show? Let us know in the comments section below.

#6 - Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship

WWE's booking for this match was counterproductive, with everybody besides Brock Lesnar looking like total chumps. Once The Beast Incarnate busted himself out of his pod, it was curtains. He quickly eliminated Seth Rollins, Riddle, and AJ Styles with complete ease.

Bobby Lashley wasn't even inside the Elimination Chamber when this happened. The All Mighty was written out of the match as part of a concussion angle when Rollins powerbombed Austin Theory through the pod he was in.

There may have been some fine action, but everything was overshadowed by Lesnar destroying everybody. His chase of Theory in the end was entertaining, though. It ended with a brutal F5 from the top of the pod onto the Chamber padding, before the young star was put away in the ring.

Brock Lesnar was at his dominant best, but after seeing him win the Royal Rumble Match in a similar way, this was unnecessary. This Elimination Chamber Match just devalued the top stars of RAW, who now don't have a world title to contest for at WrestleMania.

Grade: C

#5 - Ronda Rousey and Naomi vs. Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville

This was a decent showing for all four women, serving as a preview for WrestleMania. Ronda Rousey will challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship at the event, with this being a great showcase for her.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet wrestled with one arm tied behind her back. Her judo attire was a nice touch, adding more layers to her personality in WWE. Sonya Deville and Naomi also had a good night at Elimination Chamber.

The latter may have been the star of the match, shining bright on multiple occasions before Rousey picked up the submission win over Deville. This bout served its purpose well enough.

Grade: B

#4 - Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss, Falls Count Anywhere Match

The build-up to this may not have been good, but the action between Drew McIntyre and Madcap Moss certainly was. Their Falls Count Anywhere Match was hard-hitting and allowed Happy Corbin to get involved.

McIntyre staved off the numbers disadvantage and took care of Moss, who suffered a pretty brutal-looking bump. He landed on his head in the ring. The rising star finished the match showcasing how tough he is before getting checked backstage.

The Scottish Warrior ended this fun contest with a Claymore Kick and a foot to the chest. Hopefully, WWE gives Madcap Moss a better gimmick. He has tremendous potential in the company.

Grade: B+

#3 - Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg for the Universal Championship

Elimination Chamber began with Roman Reigns, who told fans in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to acknowledge him. He then proceeded to break Goldberg down. While the match wasn't as explosive as expected, both men did well enough for it to be considered a success.

The WWE Hall of Famer gave what he had, but it was not enough. The Tribal Chief ended up choking Goldberg out with the guillotine. While there was a botch during the submission hold, Reigns' victory still holds merit.

He has now claimed a rare and unique record, that may never be replicated. The Head of the Table was good as always at Elimination Chamber, while the WCW legend held up his part of the bargain very well.

Grade: A-

#2 - Becky Lynch vs. Lita for the RAW Women's Championship

Another WWE Hall of Famer who came up short in a world title match at Elimination Chamber, Lita had a spectacular showing opposite Becky Lynch. She proved she could hang with the best of performers of today, with the RAW Women's Champion having another great title defense.

Lynch's reign has quietly been one of the greatest in recent WWE history, as she has defeated a wide range of women and found different ways to retain her belt. However, she seemed desperate at the Elimination Chamber, even going for a Moonsault, but missing.

After a convincing near-fall from Lita's Moonsault, Becky Lynch found an opening to hit the Manhandle Slam for the win. This must have been a dream come true for her, having now defeated her teenage hero.

Grade: A-

#1 - Elimination Chamber Match for a RAW Women's Title shot at WrestleMania

The best and worst matches of the night were both inside the Elimination Chamber, which showcases WWE's contrast in booking quality. Each entrant in the women's Chamber match got to shine, as several stories were furthered.

Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan got to shine here, but there were bigger stars who had more of a spotlight later on. Alexa Bliss had a great night, as she showed zero ring rust in her first match since September last year.

While adding her to the Elimination Chamber Match only to lose may be an issue for some, Bliss did very well here and put Bianca Belair over spectacularly. The two had a great battle at the end, which saw The EST of WWE overcome the returning star to come out on top.

Belair was the star of the show, as she so often is. She is now set to face Becky Lynch at WrestleMania, which should lead to her second Women's Title win in WWE.

The Man's entire reign has been built in the lead up to this, with the Elimination Chamber serving as the perfect vehicle to get Bianca Belair to the promised land.

Grade: A
