Winner: No Contest
Rating: **
Post match, all the other participants of the Elimination Chamber match ran in, and The Wyatts joined in on the attack. The crowd exploded as everyone started brawling in the ring! RAW faded with all the superstars in the ring, fighting each other!
Analysis: That was a decent main event, but the finish made little sense. The Shield interrupted the match for no apparent reason, but the crowd loved the showdown between The Wyatts and The Shield towards the end. All the other superstars in the Elimination Chamber match ran down and got into the fight to close the show, which was easily the highlight of the night.
Over – all rating of the show: ** ¾ (Out of 5 stars)
The go – home show was underwhelming except for the Cesaro – Cena match and towards the ending, when The Shield and The Wyatts got into it. The episode ended on a high, but the rest of the show fell flat. The absence of CM Punk is pretty obvious, and WWE needs to something as soon as possible to go into damage control. Anyway, that does it for this week’s episode. Join us for the Elimination Chamber PPV in six more days, as we march towards WrestleMania 30!
