BCW's Elimination Chamber Predictions

The road to Wrestlemania continues with the first PPV since the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber.  I've mixed emotions about this up coming Elimination Chamber event, as to be perfectly honest, I'm not really invested in any of the storylines and some of the matches almost feel pointless as we already know certain performers pretty much guaranteed to still be champion heading into Wrestlemania.  That is unless WWE are pulling the ultimate swerve and are planning on putting the Raw Women's Championship on Ruby Riott, for her to headline Wrestlemania, but I guess we all know that's not going to happen!

Any way to get in the spirit of all things Elimination Chamber, I have decided give my predictions, even though this is possibly the most predictable PPV of the year!  But hey, you can only play the hand you're dealt!  Thus, to make things a bit more interesting I've thrown in the odd curve ball for good measure.....


BIG CULT WRESTLING'S PREDICTIONS:


Cruiserweight Championship Match
Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa

BCW Predicts: Murphy retains

Notes:  I just feel if the title was going to change hands before Wrestlemania, it would have happened at Royal Rumble in the fatal 4 way match.



Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin  

BCW Predicts:: Strowman wins

Notes: I'd be very surprised if WWE didn't start the ball rolling on another strong Strowman push in the run in to Wrestlemania.





Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match
The Miz & Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Uso's

BCW Predicts: Miz & Shane retain

Notes:  I did initially think The Uso's would take the titles here setting up a feud between Shane and Miz for Wrestlemania, but after Jimmy Uso's recent run in with the law I can't see a title switch at Elimination Chamber, however I do expect some shenanigans and a little seed to be planted, that will ultimately result in a split for Miz & Shane in the coming weeks, setting up a match between the 2 at Wrestlemania.


Intercontinental Championship Handicap Match
Bobby Lashley (c) & Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor

BCW Predicts: Balor wins the title

Notes:  I think Balor will get the victory, but over Lio Rush, and not Lashley.  Thus leaving the door open for a rematch as Lashley wasn't the one defeated.





Raw Women's Championship Match
Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott

BCW Predicts: Rousey retains

Notes: Expect interference from the rest of the Riott Squad, plus with Charlotte at ringside it's almost certain Becky Lynch will get involved to trigger her inclusion in the Wrestlemania main event making it a triple threat.




Women's Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Nia Jax & Tamina vs. Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. The IIconics vs. Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Naomi & Carmella

BCW Predicts: Nia & Tamina win the titles

Notes:  I predict a swerve here, Nia & Tamina will come out on top and build upon Nia's already molten heat, setting up a showdown that will ultimately crown Sasha & Bayley as new champions at Wrestlemania.





WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Jeff Hardy

BCW Predicts: Bryan retains

Notes:  If the rumours are to be believed expect a return from Bray Wyatt in the closing stages to screw someone out of the title setting up a Wrestlemania feud, however I'd be very surprised if he cost Bryan the championship, as he's pretty much nailed on to carry the Hemp Belt into Wrestlemania!

The 15 Greatest Tag Team Finishers Ever

Image
Not since the days of Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The Road Warriors & The British Bulldogs etc. in the late 1980's has there been such a wealth of talented Tag Teams in the world of Professional Wrestling, until now that is!  As the likes of The Young Bucks, The Revival. The Uso's & The New Day are arguably among a best crop of Pro Wrestling Tag Teams to come along since the 1980s "Golden Generation".  Thus with this in mind, we have decided to pick our Top 15 (basically because we couldn't whittle it down to 10 as there are so many great ones!) Tag Team Finishers of all time. Honourable Mention: Shaker Heights Spike (The Beverly Brothers) It wasn't very often we got to see the Shaker Heights Spike, in fact Blake & Beau (The Beverly Brothers) usually only performed the move on local enhancement talent, as on the bigger shows they themselves were regularly jobbed out to more popular teams. The move itself is devastating, Blake would ...

The 8 Greatest Pro Wrestling Referees Ever

Image
The referee in the world of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment (or whatever you like to call it) is much more than the guy to count the 1,2,3.  In fact he/she is as important, if not more important, than the actual competitors.  What many people don't realise is that the official passes messages throughout the match to each superstar, calls spots & even tells the competitors when it's "time to go home".   As of late, especially in key matches on WWE PPV's, referee's have made some huge errors, blowing the finish to huge matches (Wrestlemania 35's Main Event springs to mind as one of the biggest).  Yes, I know anyone can make a mistake, but there is a fine art to being a good pro wrestling referee & an even finer art to being a great one.  Thus with that in mind, lets take a look at who we believe are the 8 Greatest Professional Wrestling Referees of All Time. Honourable Mentions: Danny Davis, Jack Doan, Teddy Long & Red Shoes Un...

10 Crazy Moves Banned by WWE

Image
WWE prides itself on safety these days, but that wasn't always the case!  With that in mind, let's take a look at 10 classic wrestling maneuvers WWE has since banned their Superstars from performing! #10 Doomsday Device Finishing maneuver of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom, where Hawk would perform a top rope clothesline knocking his opponent off his partner Animal's shoulders in the process.  It takes skill (mainly from the performer taking the bump) to avoid injury on the landing from the Doomsday Device, unfortunately a lot of enhancement talent in the 90's lacked said skill, thus the move was pretty much retired after LOD left the company, with the exception of the Dudley Boys performing it occasionally during their first run with WWE. #9 Piledriver The Piledriver was a devastating finisher/signature move right up to the mid 2000's in WWE, although it had become a watered down version by the end.  The move was made famous by the likes of Wi...
