Recommend Watch: 10/10

Match Total: 53/60 - this match/match slot is lots of fun

Comments: this is the best match/match slot on this card by some distance. Ranallo makes a mistake with; sunset flip power bomb by Cena, but it is a sunset flip pin, but in fairness to Ranallo it is a stiff/hard looking and sounding one, don't get me wrong nothing goes wrong but it has come because as there is a little bit power in this move/transaction. Where I originally backed up Ranallo a little bit, he unnecessarily corrected himself which makes it wrong where he goes from a sunset flip power bomb pin to a code red which is different. Now as I started with this pay-per-view to honour both Wyatt and Harper, as this individual gets referenced on commentary I may as well bring him into the mix RIP Umaga a.k.a. Edward Smith Fatu 1973-2009 aged just 36 the same age as Wyatt/Rotunda. Ranallo for a second and then again corrects himself from Styles to Ambrose just to make sure Otunga says Ambrose nicely almost simultaneously as well. Then much later Otunga makes a mistake but likewise corrects himself by saying 2000 then almost instantaneously says 2016, it should be also noted that Phillips has not said a word on commentary during this match so far [just to finish up this point doesn't say a word in this match] and whilst I am back on the commentary team, what I am about to say is based on speculation, observation and hearing; I just wonder if someone over their headsets told Layfield to stop picking on Ranallo. Because for this main event there is no friction and finally yes full disclosure I added a couple of more marks to this match slot on the category of Recommend Watch, because on reflection it is a must see based on considering it was Wyatt's first main event championship and yes I know this is not the last time I have said this or referenced it.

Basic Result: The Wyatt Family's Bray Wyatt is your new

WWE Champion Basic walk-through of this event:

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield Commentary; provides voice over a video replays of The Wyatt Family's Bray Wyatt's theme music "Live In Fear" where at one point and Layfield makes the mistake but corrects himself where he makes reference to the phenomenon forearm, but he quickly changes that to the 450 splash [likewise in fairness and balance Layfield possibly get confused because in the follow-up replay here comes the phenomenal forearm.] We go back to live footage to see Wyatt with it being dark and the usual lighting provided by the audience members to see Randy Orton standing near and taking down his hoddy to Layfield asking the question Orton vs. Wyatt at WrestleMania 33/2017? We leave this pay-per-view with Wyatt still in the ring on his knees close-up of his face smiling and laughing. On a very quick side note; does Tom Phillips' headset still work? Testing, testing does this thing still work? Because we here absolutely nothing out of him.

This Pay-Per-View receives: 7/10, this Pay-Per-View is good: I know this is a strange place to begin but to cover my back I want to make this crystal clear; yes absolutely I was going to give this pay-per-view one less mark based on the Layfield Ranallo unprofessional situation and not forgetting the fact that this pay-per-view isn't the most strongest on top of that either. But however I didn't want to disrespect is momentous occasion with Wyatt winning his first main event championship and what with my next paragraph, let's just say I was conflicted so hence why I came to this mark, but to leave on a more uplifting note; we all know in wrestling it is about how you leave them and this main event as you can clearly see leaves things on a high.

Now be it Umaga [he gets referenced on commentary by Layfield], Luke Harper/Brodie Lee or/and Bray Wyatt you may have gone but the wrestling universe is a strange place so you will work like any other wrestler or/and any other role will live on.

The highest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: "The Face That Runs The Place, The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. the WWE Champion John Cena; Pod 1: the WWE Intercontinental Champion "The Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose, Pod 2: "The Lone Wolf" Baron Corbin, Pod 3: The Miz and Pod 4: The Wyatt Family's Bray Wyatt: Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship; the rules; 2 competitors begin in the chamber whilst 4 men are in the pods, every 5 minutes a pod will be randomly selected and that individual will enter this match, this process will continue until all of these pods are empty, any competitor can be eliminated at any time be it pin fall or submission [then must exit the chamber,] there are no disqualifications and no rope breaks, the winner is the last man standing and he will become the WWE Champion with 53/60.

The lowest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: Nikki Bella vs. “The Queen of the Black Hearts" Natalya: Singles Match with 20/60.

Match Total: 42/60 - this match/match slot is good

Comments: even though yes again I have given this match/match slot as positive and yes it is solidly good, but having said that on one hand I can say/ask why is this match on this pay-per-view? Because they don't get much time to do anything other than a solidly good match, but this could have been put on TV as they only get roughly get over 8 minutes and if you're wondering no this is not the shortest match/match slot on this card that goes to the 2-on-1 Tag Team Match from earlier on in the night roughly over 7 minutes. But on the other and as consistent or/and long-term viewers of wrestling know precisely why this match/match slot is potentially here; anyone for a toilet break before the main event which is up next? I know this is an unfair speculation/probably valid and somewhat true point.

Basic Result: Naomi is your new WWE SmackDown Women's Champion

Basic walk-through of this event:

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield Commentary; provides voice over a video replay of Naomi's theme music "Amazing"

* Renee Young Interviewer: interviews the new WWE SmackDown Women's Champion in the ring, in a rough nutshell talks about WrestleMania 33/2017 Mauro Ranallo,  John "Bradshaw" Layfield & Tom Phillips: Commentary continuing to talk about this ongoing situation/Phillips handing it over to our next section and Layfield essentially not being happy by it.

* Dasha Fuentes: interviewer asks Carmella and James Elsworth for their opinion on what they have just seen.

* Tom Phillips & John "Bradshaw" Layfield: Commentary talk about this new Elimination Chamber structure as it descends into place for the main event Phillips sends us to a video package of how we came to be here, building up this stipulation and this year's competitors in this video package

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer saying I am paraphrasing here the stipulation and then explaining the rules; 2 competitors begin in  the chamber whilst 4 men are in the pods, every 5 minutes a pod will be randomly selected and that individual will enter this match, this process will continue until all of these pods are empty, any competitor can be eliminated at any time be it pin fall or submission [then must exit the chamber,] there are no disqualifications and no rope breaks, the winner is the last man standing and he will become the WWE Champion, Hamilton begins introducing the competitors in Baron Corbin's entrance Layfield makes a blooper but corrections have when describing the chamber when originally says 2 tonnes and then 10 tonnes. But I digress AJ Styles vs. the WWE Champion John Cena [I just went with the first wrestler to officially enter the ring; I was just thinking I would say this to potentially save any confusion at some point down the line.]

Match Total: 40/60 - this match/match slot is good

Comments: even though this match slot is positive, man this match/match slot is awkward. For two reasons; for some strange reason the crowd were incredibly quiet at the beginning of this match slot, I know the outlay was to be a slow build up anyway; but this is one of those occasions there is quiet and there is quiet [it is too quiet for my liking, I mean in fairness and balance they could be a little bit burned out; but still] and then later on we got this is awesome chants later on. Then on top of that we have Layfield still digging in to Ranallo in one way or another; for an example because I am getting so bored with this behaviour.  Ranallo makes reference to this spot being performed on their commentary table and Layfield basically points out; it happens on the Spanish announce table. I mean if it was kayfabe I would still be criticising it, but as Layfield is making it absolutely crystal clear he does not like Ranallo with every chance he gets; Layfield is detrimental to this pay-per-view.

Basic Result: The Wyatt Family's Randy Orton picks up the W.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield Commentary: takes us not once but twice at one point or another through replays of what they have just seen with Randy Orton's theme "Voices"

* Commercial for; WrestleMania 33/2017 on Sunday 02/04/2017 commercial also contain advertising the WWE Network

* Tom Phillips Commentary; building up to tonight's main event with the elimination chamber on-screen, then heading to AJ Styles being on camera getting ready for tonight's main event.

* Renée Young; Interviewer Nikki Bella about what happened earlier tonight with Natalya; But the interview doesn't last for too long as  Natalya interrupts and wants more of Nikki Bella; so this situation has to be broken up with I am paraphrasing and in a nutshell Layfield on commentary; pointing out that nothing has been resolved there.

* Both competitors for our next match/match slot individually make their entrances into the ring.

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer doing his duties to announce the stipulations and then the participants of this match/match slot.

Match Total: 20/60 - this match/match slot is poor.

Comments: all I can say for him now is; what was the point of this match? I mean I mean if this is what they planned for this match slot? What a waste of time, in summary all it does is they have a little scuffle and it must continue after this event and that is it. I mean when we have Natalya: making a valid point of basically; if Natalya thinks she came out wrestle Bella then why doesn't you do it? Layfield says yes she is and she is winning.  Natalya: is winning, with Otunga saying she isn't, she is punching and kicking her.

Basic Result: Draw

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Tom Phillips: Commentary move things along to Carmella and James Elsworth appearing in a skybox handing things again over to

* Dasha Fuentes: interviewer asks Carmella and James Elsworth for their opinion on what they have just seen.

* The Wyatt Family's message: promo from Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton

* Tom Phillips: Commentary continues by talking about what is coming next simultaneously graphics of our next match Luke Harper vs. Randy Orton; moves on to video package of how we came to be in this situation.

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer saying stipulations and introducing our competitors.

* Mauro Ranallo & David Otunga: Commentary these two are discussing Luke Harper. But Ranallo makes it blooper by calling him David Harper. This is completely speculation on my part, but I have a feeling that Layfield picked up on this; so when he came into the conversation he deliberately said his name of Luke Harper, but on the other hand it does fit nicely into the conversation so it is purely based on speculation and previous knowledge of Layfield not giving Ranallo a break. Forget what I just said as we move slightly on Layfield deliberately drops dropped Luke or Luke Harper name in these two different ways. So you can pretty much take it as a subtle dig at Ranallo, but this is where I will leave things in this content.

Match Total: 37/60 - this match/match slot is good.

Comments: well to be fair the attribute marks on this match slot is a fair reflection. Well it depends where you are in this match slot sometimes the crowd are there and sometimes, they couldn't care; you know that whole attitude of I am just going to get something to eat and possibly go to the bathroom that kind of thing, which I couldn't blame them really. The crowd were not buying for most parts what the WWE are selling here and on top of that yet again we have this situation where Ranallo has honestly made a few mistakes and the other three are picking up on it; where he makes reference to Hell In A Cell [when it should have been Elimination Chamber] Otunga and Phillips made some comments which were fine, because they were on the ball and generally speaking pulling him up on it. But then we have Layfield going up and beyond making reference to drinking/sobriety test; do you know what the saddest thing is? Ranallo knew he was going to get some stick as he says Damn it [you can tell by his voice he is trying to smile it off and trying to enjoy himself,] as he basically gave Layfield and opened door and then later on Ranallo made a reference to The Usos: Jey& Jimmy Usos being related and Layfield basically highlighting they are twins. So my point here is very simple; at no point is Layfield getting off Ranallo's back its like every time Ranallo makes the most tiniest mistake or something Layfield can use against him; Layfield is there to crucify him and yes I will overlook the other two, because they gave Ranallo some stick here but they backed off. So it isn't like I am being overly protective of Ranallo because of his mental health [I am not a medical professional but I also have mental health issues myself.] But there is what these two have done here and there is what Layfield continues to do and that is get on Ranallo's back which this is just my opinion/speculation; I can completely understand why Ranallo left the WWE, if his mental health was being tested in this manner and just to finish cover my back this speculation comes into effect where we can speculate that Layfield was the problem, actually I would bet £1000 he was the problem but we only or I only know  [when this content was first dictated] that Ranallo had to step down for mental health reasons. I wouldn't mind seeing him in AEW he has a very unique way of providing commentary and very, very finely I know Ranallo said a drop to hold in this match slot at its earlier stages, but it isn't; it is just a spot where in a nutshell Fandango on the outside of the ring takes holds Slater's feet and consequently he just takes a face plant on the mat. Likewise when Jim Ross was young in particular or throughout his career to be fair and I had done this before where he has been so enthusiastic that you can overlook things like this, because I don't know about everyone else. But I would prefer a commentator of any gender being enthusiastic about their work.

Basic Result: after everything is said and done American Alpha: Chet Gable & Jason Jordan are still your WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield & Mauro Ranallo : Commentary talk about what they have just seen over replay with American Alpha: Chet Gable & Jason Jordan's theme music "Elite"  going back to live footage with these champions and the team that had taken the fall; champions inside the ring with their championships, whilst the other team ringside on the ramp way Layfield basically congratulating the champions.

* Commercial for: WrestleMania 33/2017 in 49 days

* Tom Phillips: Commentary continues the buildup to tonight main event with The Miz with a make-up artist and his wife Maryse on-screen

* Tom Phillips, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Mauro Ranallo & David Otunga on-screen, but continuing the conversation about The Miz whilst the other two are just sitting there. Then Phillips giving thanks to the band providing the theme song for this event with their CD on-screen No Wyld with the track "Air" from the album Nomads basically now available on musical outlets. Changing of graphics to our next match Nikki Bella vs. “The Queen of the Black Hearts" Natalya, then moving on to a video package of how we came to be in this position.

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer saying stipulation and introducing Nikki Bella and Tom Phillips: Commentary advertising Hulu in a nutshell for WWE content and then Hamilton finishing off his duties.

Match Total: 32/60 - this match/match slot is mixed.

Comments: well all I can say here really is; this is one of those match outlays/match slot that uses a predictable outlay, even though it is a predictable; the only reason I have gave it a high mark or relatively a high mark, is because without getting to make way even though this is the spoiler version; it fulfils a purpose. Well we are only two matches in and generally speaking the commentary is already beginning to annoy me; in a general sense we have Ranallo providing commentary to the wrestling, meanwhile we have Layfield and Otunga bickering about this match slot and Phillips only contribute something in the video replay section of the slot and the crowd likewise generally speaking were mediocre about this match, they were there for something or when it was something hard-hitting but other than that they were not impressed; I mean let's play a brief game of find the audience member; in this tag team and their celebration look for the individual wearing glasses and at some point he puts his thumb down to indicate his opinion on this match and there is aftermath in this match slot to be honest I had to take a mark off for the crowd enjoying  saying thank you Ziggler [other things throughout this closing angle] for in kayfabe potentially injuring one of his opponents; you know that was a little bit much as in everyone has to make a living and they are celebrating it being taken away from somebody.

Basic Result: Apollo Crews & Kalisto pick up the W.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield, David Otunga & Tom Phillips: Commentary talks about what they have just seen over replay with the theme music of whomever got the winning decision.

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield, David Otunga & Mauro Ranallo: Commentary covering the aftermath angle of this match slot.

* Tom Phillips: Commentary continues the buildup to tonight main event with the WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose on-screen warming

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer saying stipulations and introducing Beauty & The Man Beast: Heath Slater & Rhino

* Mauro Ranallo: Commentary through "The Fashion Police" Breezango: Tyler Breeze &  Fandango entrance Ranallo; which I am paraphrasing here is; winner tag team stays in the match Tom Phillips: Commentary introduces our Mandarin or Chinese commentary team of: Meng & Sean Deng. Now to cover my back I refuse to take any backlash for this cock up; Phillips says Mandarin whilst the graphics with their names says Chinese when they appear on-screen; likewise the following all get introduced by Phillips and appear on and off-screen, so next we have Japan: Shun Yamaguchi & Funaki, Russia: Moti Margolin & Zhan Pomerantsev and Portugal: Marco Alfaro & Roberto Figueroa [on a quick side note; I have decided to take off another mark; based on Layfield saying roughly something to the effect of "And from Mars we have you Mauro. Did you lose a bet with that haircut? "Ranallo roughly responding: I am actually from Mount Liman Connecticut and not from Mars but close enough. Without getting angry if this level of commentary continues instead of getting angry I will just take it off the marking of this pay-per-view instead end of story.

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWE Elimination Chamber 2017 12/02/2017 Match 1 Part 1 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

On rotation/Disclaimer/Just a heads up at one point I will just be saying it as it is: after this pay-per-view we are heading into WCW and full disclosure I wasn't planning to look at this pay-per-view, but the tragic passing of Wyndham Rotunda a.k.a. Bray Wyatt and his many forms on 24/08/2023 very much changed that and not forgetting also on this card we get to see Jonathan Huber a.k.a. Luke Harper in the WWE and Mr. Brodie Lee in All Elite Wrestling that has also tragically died on 26/12/2020 to I mean this respectfully I don't particularly want to do this pay-per-view, because I would prefer them to be still with us, but how things are I will do this to honour them and on a quick side note as this topic when this was first being dictated on Friday 06/10/2023 and tribalism seems to be a hot topic lately because it is getting out of hand. How can I put this nicely; you can shove your tribalism up your posterior, when it comes to; individually or together two good people losing their lives at relatively young ages Rotunda 36 and Lee 41 with life books left unwritten and their families, friends and anyone else left with a gaping hole and memories not created, it should put this so-called tribalism into perspective of in comparison a grain of salt; so I will finish this like this; “Follow the buzzards, ” "It's Friday. You know what that means" and let the lantern light your way members of The Wyatt Family, you may be gone but never forgotten.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Opening sequence to this pay-per-view: roughly; warning flashing effects can be seen at some point in this opening.

* Tom Phillips: Commentary does the welcoming to this pay-per-view

* Becky Lynch makes her entrance simultaneously Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer says stipulation and then introduces Becky Lynch, Tom Phillips: appears on-screen sitting behind the desk introducing his fellow commentators also on-screen likewise sitting behind the desk; John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Mauro Ranallo & David Otunga; I am sure everyone is going to be professional and they will be absolutely no problems [for those that cannot pick up soft sarcasm this would be a great example of it] and I may as well say from the very beginning I have decided to be very basic as it relates to what is being said by the commentary team because there is so much being said that it would take me a long time to get everything down, so yes I will miss out chunks, in short it is at my discretion.

* Becky Lynch still doing her entrance

* Tom Phillips: Commentary takes us back to a video package to how this match came to be basically.

* Becky Lynch still doing her entrance; now waiting for her opponent

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer complete his duties as it relates to the entrances, as Mickie James

* Tom Phillips: Commentary in a nutshell introduces us to other commentary teams; Spanish: Carlos Cabrera & Marcelo Rodríguez and then the commentary team; Germany: Tim Haber & Calvin Knie [they appear on-screen at different times]

Comments: now I can speak more freely; wow I promise you if this is how things are going to be in this pay-per-view, it is going to make this pay-per-view suck. Back then or sometime around here it has been well documented that Layfield really didn't like Ranallo; in fact I don't know if it was this time or another time or it could have been both times, I think I am pretty right in saying Ranallo eventually had to completely leave the WWE due to Layfield's behaviour at this it was encouraging his mental health, I am not defending anyone here but just to cover my back I need to say it was alleged. But having covered my back I can continue by saying, based on my viewing experience there wasn't anything alleged about it. It is undeniable that Layfield really has a big problem with Ranallo, as Ranallo in a nutshell makes a reference to Scooby Doo and then Layfield tells him to go and work for Cartoon Network.

As you can see they are sitting next to each other; Layfield very rarely picks up from what Ranallo has just said including a very blatant passive aggressive thing of saying the name who he wants to talk to; so he will go David and make it obvious there are two separate teams in effect here instead of a foursome, but as it goes for the wrestling it is a solid opening to this pay-per-view.

Basic Result: "The Lass-kicker" Becky Lynch is victorious.

Basic walk-through of this event:

 * John "Bradshaw" Layfield & David Otunga: Commentary talk about what they have just seen over replay with Becky Lynch's theme music Celtic Invasion [Entrance Theme]

* Tom Phillips: Commentary move things along to Carmella and James Elsworth appearing in a skybox handing things over to

* Dasha Fuentes: interviewer asks Carmella and James Elsworth for their opinion on what they have just seen.

* John "Bradshaw" Layfield & Tom Phillips: Commentary Layfield makes a reference of some description to that previous moment, with Phillips with Baron Corbin on-screen warming up for our main event with Phillips building it up.

* Greg Hamilton: Ring announcer saying stipulation and introducing Apollo Crews; in a nutshell commentary discuss how this match came to be and then Hamilton introduced his tag team partner Kalisto; but he was attacked by Dolph Ziggler; their opponent for this 2-on-1 Handicap Match with these referees trying to protect Kalisto from any more of a beat down/checking on him Crews come to check on his tag team partner;The commentary team are talking about this unravelling situation; in a nutshell this match begins one-on-one.
