WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 is the last major stop on the road to WrestleMania 38 and with just two matches set in stone for AT&T Stadium at the beginning of April, Saturday will have to go a long way in shaping that card.
Both Elimination Chamber matches seem tailor-made to do that. The new No. 1 contender for the Raw women’s championship will be determined in the women’s Chamber match, and while Becky Lynch will also put her title on the line — against Hall of Famer Lita — Lynch’s victory seems all but certain.
The men’s Elimination Chamber match, with Bobby Lashley’s WWE championship on the line against five challengers, will be equally impactful. While it could go a few different ways, six-time WWE champion Brock Lesnar, who already has a Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns set for WrestleMania after winning the men’s Royal Rumble, could win this and make it a world title vs. world title match.
Speaking of Reigns, he got his long-awaited shot at Goldberg in a Universal Championship defense at Elimination Chamber, and put away the hall of famer to retain his belt. Ronda Rousey’s first standard match in almost three years will be a tag team contest, pairing her with Naomi against Rousey’s WrestleMania opponent, SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair, and Sonya Deville.

But that doesn’t mean there weren’t a few surprises along the way.
The crowd in Jeddah wholeheartedly got into their “Goldberg” chants during his entrance and heartily cheered for the 55-year-old instead of acknowledging Reigns, the dominant champion. Goldberg even beat Reigns to the spear, a signature maneuver for both. But as he went for a jackhammer, Reigns shook it off and grabbed the momentum…
