WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 Results & Reactions

The Grayson Waller Effect: Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins Bring Big News To Perth

After the announcement last night on Smackdown that Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins would both be guests on Grayson Waller’s show— The Grayson Waller Effect— at Elimination Chamber. The assumption was that the segment would further the Reigns-Rhodes feud and hint at a possible tag match between Rhodes and Rollins against The Rock and Roman Reigns.

The segment went how you’d expect, the heels being annoying while the faces played along until they destroyed them. However, we did get a couple of interesting tidbits. Seth Rollins announced that he was days away from being cleared to compete, which received a loud response from the fans.

On the other hand, Cody made a flat-out challenge to The Rock. This was mocked by Austin Theory, but social media has been a buzz ever since. This could be the direction things go, but we’ll have to wait and hear from The Rock.

Men’s Elimination Chamber: Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Logan Paul, LA Knight

Winner: Drew McIntyre

It was a highly anticipated match this year, no small part of which is due to the amazing talent inside the EC competitor pool. The Chamber entrants were diverse and believable as threats to Seth’s reign.

Truthfully, any of the participants could make a great program with Seth and take it all the way to the “show of shows,” but Drew McIntyre has the momentum walking into the cell. This match could make or break the interest fans have in McIntyre challenging for Seth’s title, but it could also launch a guy on the verge of greatness like LA Knight.

Coincidentally enough, it was LA Knight and Drew McIntyre who started the match, which we received an early preview of on SmackDown.

The match’s pace was executed well, and significant moments hinted at many potential outcomes for who could win this thing.

Nobody surprised more than Logan Paul, though we should really start thinking of this guy as an actual wrestler— for all you may dislike about him and the reasons for his prominent placement on cards, you cannot deny that he takes great pride in his performance. He is sort of nailing everything he does in that ring (with the help of some far more talented wrestlers, helping to make him look even better).

Paul took all the big bumps: against the chain wall, onto the apron platform, and even a huge spear from Lashley through the plexiglass chamber (a classic EC spot). Paul went into this match with a big task because the Chamber can be difficult and clunky, especially for guys who can fly like Paul.

The Chamber’s design makes for awkward spots at times that can come off as silly, but Paul went in and decided to earn “The Boys” admiration and the fans’. Paul was never going to win this match, but in the grand scheme of things, he was one of the night’s biggest winners.

One of Paul’s biggest spots was a dive off the pod onto two waiting opponents, but his professionalism and timing were the biggest examples of this kid’s growth.

Kevin Owens Plays Utility

Kevin Owens is an MVP employee. He is the kind of guy you can put on any team in the office or classroom, and he makes the team better. Owens did his job tonight/morning, and that was to make the match look good.

Owens’ understanding of psychology and generous nature as a performer is only heightened by his ring IQ. That kind of performer can work with ‘the big guy,’ the highflyer, the brawler, the technician, etc. He will give you everything, and in a match like Elimination Chamber, you must be willing to give twice as much with every move.

From a narrative standpoint, he continued his program with United States Champion Paul.

Bobby Lashley Was Booked Big

Lashley came into the match selling a right elbow injury, but he was dominant in a losing effort in Perth. The rivalry with AOP and Karion Kross could not have come at a worse time for Lashley, yet he was still just as much the “All Mighty” inside the Chamber.

He utilized his size and strength, but there were too many variables to overcome, and this just wasn’t his time.

Not Knight’s Day

LA Knight was booked well in the match and kept strong, but WWE clearly has other plans in store for one of the hottest baby faces in WWE. Initially, it seemed like Knight was being booked to possibly be in the final two, but AJ Styles intervened in the match to take Knight out with a chair.

Drew McIntyre’s Time

McIntyre would go on to get the win over Randy Orton, but it came with help from Logan Paul, who used his now-infamous brass knuckles to take Orton out.

McIntyre is the right choice; he and Seth can tell a great story. He has been one of the best performers on TV for the past several months, and his promos are getting increasingly raw and real. Monday Night RAW will be interesting, and the continuity between Seth and Drew exists in a way that only hypes this match further.

WWE Women’s Championship (RAW): Rhea Ripley (c) vs Nia Jax

Winner: Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley received a hometown hero ovation from the Australian crowd as she entered the ring to defend her title against Nia Jax. The match never felt very big in the build-up, though WWE did their best to put Jax over as a real threat. But Ripley has been too good and too dominant.

Chants of Mami, Mami, Mami… Oi, Oi, Oi rang out throughout the crowd. As much as Jax tried to work as the big, Ripley is too strong to look like the ‘weaker’ wrestler in the ring. It was a standard offensive attack for Nia, but Rhea mixed things up with hard strikes and then landed an aerial move— a missile dropkick that amounted to a near-fall, and she would land a frog splash later in the match. We knew the spot was coming, but it was surprising to see Rhea lift Jax, which she did onto the turnbuckle face first. The two took the action to the outside, where Nia put Rhea through a table off of a Samoan Drop.

In the end, Nia’s mistake was risking too much to mix up her own attack as she was caught climbing to the top rope before Ripley turned the moment into a superplex. Ripley landed the Riptide and picked up the win in a successful defense of her world title.

Women’s Elimination Chamber: Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch,Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriquez, Liv Morgan & Naomi

Winner: Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch and Naomi started off the Women’s Chamber match, and Australia was not shy about who they were rooting for as Becky chants began quickly. This would end up being a terrific Chamber match for Becky, but Naomi started hot with the offense. Then, the already hot crowd amped up even more for Stratton’s entrance into the match.

She tried some quick offense to offset her opponents, but it was the spot where she carried both women on her shoulders briefly that hyped the crowd. The chemistry between the three women was really good. Raquel Rodriguez was booked as the “big” in the match, showing off her strength by rag-dolling people into the chains.

Tiffany was booked well in the match, and one of her biggest spots was landing a Stratton Bomb on three other women off the top of the pod. Liv Morgan wasn’t absent from the match, but her biggest reaction was eliminating Stratton.

Bianca Belair made her time in the Chamber count, and though she was eventually eliminated, she attempted a 450 splash on Becky Lynch, who got her knees up just in time. Liv would go on to hit the CodeBreaker before rolling up Belair for the elimination. However, Becky was waiting and hit her Manhandle Slam to pick up the win and stamp her card for WrestleMania.

WWE Men’s Tag Team Championship: Judgment Day (c) vs New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate)

Winner: The Judgement Day (Baylor and Priest)

This was a sneaky match on the card that many had high hopes for, though WWE could’ve done a better job at making Dunne and Bate seem like an actual threat to The Judgment Day’s titles. Dunne was in classic form to start things off, but the numbers game came into play as it tends to with factions like Judgement Day after some interference from Dirty Dom, Bate, and Dunne took back momentum.

It wasn’t like Dunne and Bate looked bad, but without another team in their corner, the outside factors will always favor the champions. Dom was eventually thrown out for interfering, but it wouldn’t matter as Priest and Baylor would end things with some nice teamwork as Priest landed his South of Heaven of the turnbuckle as Baylor waited to hit his Coup De Grace on Dunne. And that’s a wrap.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Kabuki Warriors(c) vs Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell

Winners: Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Sane)

This match kicked off the night, and it was a match that was better than the attention it was given in the lead-up. LeRae is a great worker, and so are the other girls in the match, but the challengers never felt like a real threat coming into the match.

Sane picked up the pin in the match after delivering her picture-perfect Insane Elbow.
