Thoughts that occurred to me while watching the show...
* Daniel Bryan is as awesome as always. Although he did not have the match of the night tonight.
* I'm digging him and Kane in a feud, but the absence of C.M. Punk is keenly felt.
* I really don't know what to make of Emma. Hopefully, she can bring it in the ring, because all she is right now is the weird, flighty chick... which differs a bit from A.J. Lee's crazy chick vibe. I did crack a cheap "dizzy blonde" joke after the airplane spin on Summer Rae.
* Roman Reigns is hot right now, but I don't know if he's going to make it to main event level. At best, I can see him on Batista level.
* They really need to get the U.S. Title off of Dean Ambrose. I'd unite it with the IC Title again at this point.
* Speaking of, I'm thinking Swagger will lose his IC Title match against Big E, to keep setting up the breakup with Cesaro.
* Cena vs. Cesaro was a strong contender for best match of the year so far. I think the next time they go 1 on 1, it's going to be on PPV.
* Not really seeing much of the Darren Young - Titus O'Neill feud. Usually, I'd pick O'Neill to win the feud, but I've been worried they might make an angle out of Young's recent coming out for a while now.
* Wyatts vs Shield should be awesome.
* The New Age Outlaws winning the titles has been criticized quite a bit, but I kind of dig this understated thing they've been doing lately where maybe they're realizing they should have stayed retired. And the Usos deserve a title run.
* Sheamus vs. Orton was nothing special... though I would have let Sheamus go over clean, and a nice little brawl to round the show out.
My Elimination Chamber picks:
Preshow: Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel - This one's a toss up. The Brotherhood should win, but if they're planning to split them and have them fight at Mania, Rybaxel might get a cheap win.
Titus O'Neill vs. Darren Young - Titus
New Age Outlaws vs. The Usos - New Champs: The Usos
Big E vs. Jack Swagger: Big E retains
Batista vs. Alberto Del Rio - Del Rio wins when Brock Lesnar attacks Batista somehow... or Batista wins by DQ. I honestly think they'll twist things around to give us Batista vs. Lesnar at Mania, with Batista giving up his title shot for a shot at Lesnar.
Shield vs. Wyatts: Wyatts win when Dean Ambrose turns on Roman Reigns
Elimination Chamber: Daniel Bryan wins, eliminating John Cena last with a rollup or somesuch. Wrestlemania XXX Main Event: Triple Threat: Cena vs. Orton vs. Bryan for the title.
