[@prl_aussie9498]

That was awesome. I was there, but someone messed up in the men's chamber match. At the stadium, they accidentally put the countdown on after the first pod opened a second time. It was probably about 2 minutes after the first pod opened. That's why we counted down a second time randomly. Then, a few other times, it came back on the big screens at 0 so we booed. So they turned off the screens for about 30 seconds. We chanted we can't see and they turned them back on.

Love, love these overseas shows, especially since they elevate traditional B shows to a spectacle. And how people you wouldn't expect to get giant cheers do. First time watchers would think Indi and Tiffany were the biggest stars in the company, like Iyo and Zelina in Puerto Rico. Speaking of which, this was star making for Stratton. And afterwards she blamed Australia since they didn't cheer loud enough. She'll be in the title picture by the end of the year at this rate.

[@notsure1350]

Tiffany Stratton impressed me that's for sure. The start of the match was like watching people wrestle underwater. Becky and Naomi were moving so slowly and deliberately like they were just practicing or something and it was really awkward. Thats kind of always my criticism of Becky though. She is kind of vanilla in the ring

[@sujiks9517]

Tiffany was the MVP of that match and Becky is just average in the ring

[@matthewhostetter8974]

A predictable but good show. Tiffany was the MVP of the women's Chamber, she also got some of the biggest reactions of the show. She is a future headliner. Becky won, as most of us expected. Judgment Day retained the tag titles in a solid tag match. I do hope they split the tag titles soon. The Men's match was a great car crash with some amazing selling of Orton's back. We also set up 2 more possible matches at Mania. AJ vs LA Knight and Logan Paul vs Orton. Best of all DM Hunk gets to finish his story. Nia had one of her better matches but in the end, MAMI remains on top as the Home Town hero.

They gotta do something about the down time between matches. There’s no reason to have 20 plus minutes between matches and 10 minutes of entrances. I went to give my daughter a bath when they were going over rules for men’s match figuring I’d catch the end when done. When I was done they were still doing entrances

[@empower5228]

[@johndoiron9615]

It's great to see how much faith WWE has in a main roster rookie, and having the fans embrace her makes it all the better.

[@reikiwizard7778]

They turned the crowed volume down. We were chanting many rude chants at dom and Damian priest , and we were chanting tiffy time in the men’s chamber match haha

[@MHruskamusic]

They must have kept it down because I thought Rhea’s pop wasn’t as big as people were saying. I originally had my volume at 20, rewound it, put it on about 40 and still was not feeling the pop like I was hoping though I get that she is technically a heel so maybe that’s why. It felt to me like Grayson Waller got a bigger pop possibly since he lives and breathes Australian more than Rhea does, I mean he had the shoey and the Aussie-oy thing.

[@shaniagrogan4873]

Can confirm crowd loved tiff. There were tiffy time chants during the men’s chamber

[@urbaindelva7869]

She's already there right now, sans heel turn. She was runner up in the women's Rumble for the second straight year. She was the last woman eliminated in the women's Chamber match. I think that WWE is building her up for next year lowkey.

Not only did they namedrop Jericho but they also namedropped the Codebreaker like three times during the evening. While I don't think the "forbidden door" between WWE and AEW is gonna swing open any time soon, I don't think there is anything wrong with namedropping the competition every once in a while

[@onyroo]

So McIntyre beats Rollins and gets cashed in on by Priest?

[@kinglibra912]

Having Judgement Day being double champs is hindering the Titles growth/relevance especially with Priest being MITB holder 😩

I figured he’d win because he was a heel. Since it’d be at Mania, a good vs. evil thing kind of fits. I didn’t think Logan Paul would have won…maybe if he didn’t have a belt already, but I thought it was unlikely for that reason.

The fact that indi was NXT champion, got injured, called up and hasn't done anything since is just disappointing. Send her back to NXT at this point and let her have a proper run with the NXT womens title Also to be fair Simon, the one year rhea was doing pull ups in her chamber pod I'm pretty sure. So not always standing there. I wish Malakai would return and just do his sit in the pod while he waits to enter. I think it would create a terrifying presence for him, like he's just sitting crossed legged and completely relaxed.

[@empower5228]

If big things weren't on the horizon in AEW, and he wasn't already firmly rooted as the leader of a dominant stable, I'd say that he probably would consider it tbf. However, once his injuries are 100% healed, I think he's gonna be gunning for a singles title on his way to the world title scene. That would be cool to see though, him doing his sit-down stare in the chamber.

I took two things away from the show: 1. I am *TIRED* of watching The same wrestlers over and over and over and over and over again.

I actually sat and called *EVERY SINGLE* spot before it happend when only Liv, Binaca and Becky were left 2. This was a "safe" PLE. Nothing stood out (again except for Tiffany) it wasn't bad it wasn't fantastic it was meh okay
