Elimination Chamber is upon us tomorrow, so it’s time for picks! PC Tunney breaks down how the Staff picked. Who do you think will win?
Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to The Chairshot Staff Picks! My name is PC Tunney and I’m absolutely thrilled to be in the midst of the road to WrestleMania. This month’s WWE Network event (that’s what I’m calling them now lol) brings back one of the most impressive structures in wrestling history. Now speaking of history, we will be crowning the very first WWE women’s tag team champions. Twelve women will tell the first chapter for a new and long over due division. Let’s get to the picks which have been pretty darn good. The Chairshot staff as a whole is 28-9-1, that’s picking winners at a 75%+ rate over the last three network events.

2019 WWE Elimination Chamber

Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy(c) v Akira Tozowa
- Abe Odeh – Murphy
- Bradley Jay – Murphy
- Carol Cassada – Murphy
- David Levin – Murphy
- Jason Schfletowski – Murphy
- Mason Epeneter – Tozowa
- Mathew Sarpraicone – Murphy
- Rey Ca$h – Murphy
- Robert Fernandes – Murphy
- Sarah Hirsch – Murphy
- Scott Mcleod – Murphy
- Steve Cook – Murphy
- Steven Mitchell – Tozowa
- Tiffany Carter – Murphy
- Miranda Morales – Murphy
- DP – Murphy
- Patrick O’Dowd – Murphy
- Andrew Balaz – Murphy
- Christopher Platt – Murphy
- Greg DeMarco – Murphy
Tunney’s Take: It wouldn’t make sense here to cut Buddy Murphy’s title run short of WrestleMania. My pick is Buddy Murphy.
The Chairshot: 19-2 Buddy Murphy #UseYourHead

Braun Strowman v Baron Corbin
- Abe Odeh – Braun
- Bradley Jay – Braun
- Carol Cassada – Corbin
- David Levin – Braun
- Jason Schfletowski – Braun
- Mason Epeneter – Braun
- Mathew Sarpraicone – Braun
- Rey Ca$h – Corbin
- Robert Fernandes – Braun
- Sarah Hirsch – Corbin
- Scott Mcleod – Braun
- Steve Cook – Braun
- Steven Mitchell – Braun
- Tiffany Carter – Corbin
- Miranda Morales – Braun
- DP – Corbin
- Patrick O’Dowd – Braun
- Andrew Balaz – Braun
- Christopher Platt – Braun
- Greg DeMarco -Braun
Tunney’s Take: This is a tricky one. I wouldn’t be surprised if Corbin wins here. Neither of these two have real storyline momentum of any kind so far on the road to WrestleMania. Regardless, I’m sticking with Vince using this spot to re-strengthen the dominance of Braun’s character. My pick is Braun Strowman.
The Chairshot: 16-5 Braun Strowman #UseYourHead

Intercontinental Championship: Bobby Lashley(c) & Lio Rush v Finn Balor
- Abe Odeh – Finn
- Bradley Jay – Finn
- Carol Cassada – LL
- David Levin – LL
- Jason Schfletowski – Finn
- Mason Epeneter – LL
- Mathew Sarpraicone – LL
- Rey Ca$h – LL
- Robert Fernandes – Finn
- Sarah Hirsch – Finn
- Scott Mcleod – LL
- Steve Cook – LL
- Steven Mitchell – Finn
- Tiffany Carter – Finn
- Miranda Morales – LL
- DP – LL
- Patrick O’Dowd – Finn
- Andrew Balaz – LL
- Christopher Platt – LL
- Greg DeMarco – Finn
Tunney’s Take: The Intercontinental belt seems a perfect way to use Finn Balor on the rest of the road to and at WrestleMania. My pick is Finn Balor.
The Chairshot: 11-10 Lio and Lashley #UseYourHead

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The MiZ & Shane McMahon(c) v The Usos
- Abe Odeh – Usos
- Bradley Jay – MM
- Carol Cassada – MM
- David Levin – MM
- Jason Schfletowski – MM
- Mason Epeneter – MM
- Mathew Sarpraicone – MM
- Rey Ca$h – Usos
- Robert Fernandes – MM
- Sarah Hirsch – MM
- Scott Mcleod – Usos
- Steve Cook – MM
- Steven Mitchell – MM
- Tiffany Carter – MM
- Miranda Morales – MM
- DP – Usos
- Patrick O’Dowd – Usos
- Andrew Balaz – MM
- Christopher Platt – MM
- Greg DeMarco – Usos
Tunney’s Take: I was positive that the Usos were taking the straps here, until the dust up with the law involving Jimmy and Naomi. I feel like original plans are still in place or the Usos would have already been removed from the match. My pick is the Usos.
The Chairshot: 14-7 MiZ & McMahon #UseYourHead

RAW Women’s Championship: Ronda Rousey(c) v Ruby Riott
- Abe Odeh – Ronda
- Bradley Jay – Ronda
- Carol Cassada – Ronda
- David Levin – Ronda
- Jason Schfletowski – Ronda
- Mason Epeneter – Ronda
- Mathew Sarpraicone – Ronda
- Rey Ca$h – Ronda
- Robert Fernandes – Ronda
- Sarah Hirsch – Ronda
- Scott Mcleod – Ronda
- Steve Cook – Ronda
- Steven Mitchell – Ronda
- Tiffany Carter – Ronda
- Miranda Morales – Ronda
- DP – Ronda
- Patrick O’Dowd – Ronda
- Andrew Balaz – Ronda
- Christopher Platt – Ronda
- Greg DeMarco – Ronda
Tunney’s Take: This seems to be an easy pick, and it is. Now before this becomes consensus, think about this… Do Ronda, Charlotte and Becky really need a title at this point? I know we are talking the main event(last match) at Mania, but the feud these three women have created feels like enough. The reason I won’t go against the grain here, and no offense to Ruby, it would be a disservice to the title at this point. My pick is Ronda Rousey.
The Chairshot: 21-0 Ronda Rousey #USEYOURHEAD

Woman’s Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber: Sasha Banks & Bayley v Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville v Nia Jax & Tamina v Carmella & Naomi v Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan v The IIconics
- Abe Odeh – Boss n Hug
- Bradley Jay – Fire n Desire
- Carol Cassada – Boss n Hug
- David Levin – Fire n Desire
- Jason Schfletowski – Riott Squad
- Mason Epeneter – Nia n Tamina
- Mathew Sarpraicone – Boss n Hug
- Rey Ca$h – Nia n Tamina

- Miranda Morales – Boss n Hug
- DP – Boss n Hug
- Patrick O’Dowd – Nia n Tamina
- Andrew Balaz – IIconics
- Christopher Platt – Boss n Hug
- Greg DeMarco – Nia n Tamina
Tunney’s Take: The hardest decision of the show for me and the widely split picks from The Chairshot staff attest to just that. I’ve been shouting Boss n Hug for weeks now but my mind has been changed. My pick is the IIconics.
The Chairshot: 8 Boss n Hug, 6 Nia n Tamina, 3 Fire n Desire, 3 IIconics, 1 Riott Squad #UseYourHead

WWE Championship Elimination Chamber: Daniel Bryan(c) v Kofi Kingston v Jeff Hardy v AJ Styles v Randy Orton v Samoa Joe
- Abe Odeh – DB
- Bradley Jay – DB
- Carol Cassada – DB
- David Levin – DB
- Jason Schfletowski – DB
- Mason Epeneter – Kofi
- Mathew Sarpraicone – DB
- Rey Ca$h – DB
- Robert Fernandes – DB
- Sarah Hirsch – DB

- Steven Mitchell – DB
- Tiffany Carter – DB
- Miranda Morales – DB
- DP – DB
- Patrick O’Dowd – DB
- Andrew Balaz – DB
- Christopher Platt – DB
- Greg DeMarco – DB
Tunney’s Take: More power(of positivity) to Mason if the pick of Kofi comes through! One thing my mind will not be changed on is that Daniel Bryan will be defending the WWE title at WrestleMania. My pick is Daniel Bryan.
The Chairshot: 20-1 Daniel Bryan #UseYourHead

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
