in about five minutes adam pierce opened the show to tell us everything we just already saw in a video package anyway cheers adam really helpful of you and then made an announcement of actual substance new wwe champion bobby lashley will be defending his title at the elimination chamber in saudi arabia this forced bobby to come out while he was midway through trying on seth rollins's wardrobe to trash brock lesnar who was actually there in the building to come out too guys i i don't know if we can call brock a part-timer anymore he's he's there quite a lot lesnar looks like he's having so much fun right now and his on-screen terrifying happiness is infectious imagine the complete opposite of what ronda's doing he said lashley only won because of roman reigns who he confirmed he'd be challenging at wrestlemania but by the time that most stupendous of premium live events rolls around it's going to be title versus title he wants in on the chamber and then closed the segment with a lot of naughty words that had to be censored just two entrants in and the chamber is already must see this was a fantastic opening segment as it did what wrestling angles are meant to do really make me want to see a merch unfortunately vacant lost out in the chambers four other spots throughout the night thanks to a series of qualifying matches given a large portion of this episode actual significant stakes seth rollins got automatically entered first based on his dq victory at the royal rumble which led to some fun terrible heel planning from kevin owens who tried to get rollins to reject his place unless ko got automatically added too seth and ko continue to be one of the best acts in wwe side note the graphic for the ko show segment made it look like owens was going to have the wrestlemania sign as a guest which is a brilliant idea instead ko had to qualify in a terrific match against austin theory since being drafted to raw owens has consistently put on match of the night contenders and wwe have been doing a great job of steadily building up theory and long matches against established stars and shockingly theory one i would have had austin valiantly lose and get over and defeat here as i think people want to see ko and rollins in the chamber more and to win over owens at this stage feels too soon for theory but it was still very well done having theory kicked the middle rope into ko's prize fighters getting over austin's gimmick that he'll do anything to win and thus please his sugar daddy vince mcmahon presumably owens will now re-enter his damian priest program who wasn't on the show at all riddle and chad gable's NUMBER_TOKEN-lap scooter race around the arena was somehow again very entertaining they had updates peppered through the first hour of the show but then otis wiped out riddle just before the finish line for gable to win thanks to his olympic speed suit for zero air drag it's like he's wearing nothing
