It’s clear to Russo now that WWE “doesn’t give a sh*t”. They don’t care about the fans, all they care about is money. He truly believes that we could see a WWE vs. WCW scenario again if someone with money took them on, because WWE “can be had” right now. He also notes that Cuban owns AXSTV which broadcasts NJPW in the United States, so he wonders why Cuban doesn’t start a United States-based wrestling promotion.
Lane points out that he’s not a fan of seeing two Elimination Chamber matches on the same show, because he feels like the first match takes something away from the second match.
Russo thought there was really poor psychology at certain points of the Women’s Chamber match. He also thought this was a major step backwards from the Women’s Royal Rumble match. He doesn’t think it was a bad match, but it simply didn’t stand out because we’ve so many multi-women matches over the years on WWE’s weekly programming.
He was also ready to go crazy at the end of the match when Alexa Bliss started sobbing and thanking the fans. Luckily WWE swerved us all and quickly turned Bliss heel again at the end of the promo to which Russo said, “Thank God”.
Lane thought the Asuka/Nia Jax match was “okay”, and he was particularly happy that WWE gave Jax her heat back as soon as the match ended. Russo agrees, pointing out that Asuka was able to go over, and WWE still found a way to give Jax her comeback when the match ended which kept her strong. He gives WWE credit for this.
