Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk podcast here every Tuesday. And this week, Wednesday, and then we're back on Sunday for Elimination Chamber the review. Because right now It's Elimination Chamber The Predictions. I'm Ollie Davis, I'm joined by Luco and D A D If you haven't already, please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts from. That could be on YouTube, it could be on Spotify, it could be on Apple Podcasts, or exciting if you go back.

Um we have sponsored the past here. Wow. Because if you go back and watch an old Elimination Chamber match, that pattern in the grill QR code comes here because we will not partake in any of your woke knots of Your woke nonsense of the new chamber is disgusting. No one gets really hurt by it anymore. And I think uh it's it's uh it it's full of pussies. It it's it's sanitized is what it's done. And I just think it's about time we started fighting back against sanitization of combat sport.

Yeah, everyone's just Oh, let's play around, let's do some moves, let's get bouncy in this new bouncy castle thing. No, I want people to be in pain afterwards. Yeah. I know it's ma I know it's all predetermined and everything like that. No, I want them to be in real pain. Yeah. I want them limping. The following day being like, Oh, I felt that match yesterday, that's what I'm after I want people to go, Oh no, when they find out they're in the chamber.

I mean to your cr to your point, you know, no we're having a bit of fun here. You know, we're at a bit of a a joke uh a joke and a jape. There doesn't seem to be actually that much threat about being in the chamber. You know, like Trick Williams on Raw seemed thrilled that he was gonna it's not like you know, when you

They first did it when Bischoff came up they did it. Twenty yards or twenty miles of solid steel chain link fence. It's dangerous. The the plexiglass. It could stop a bullet. It was bulletproof glass. And now it's just like, and whoever wins gets to go to the other title match in WrestleMania and everyone says, Yay, I'm into the match. Yeah. Yeah, we want it to just like how Helena Cell was restored to its brutality in the Levesque era,

Uh but he doesn't like the chamber. We've said this for quite a few years now, we always get hyped up. Oh, this'll be the year Triple H gets round to fixing this thing. Um but then we forget that he doesn't care about some things. I just thought then is it because it's Bishop?

In the same way that we I figure he doesn't like the uh money in the bank because A he never won it and B it was Jericho's idea. Yeah. But Triple H uh you know, he's one of those people that I think of with elimination chains. In the very first one, Crashed's larynx. Well he probably liked a few of them'cause he won a bunch.

Uh but here we are. Uh not a lot of hype for this show. No, no. No. We're we're at a a percentage level. What is your hype? My hype? I'm gonna try and answer this seriously. About time. The most hype uh is a hundred percent. So the most hype right now for me is the Batman 2.

That seems pretty hype, eh? You seem pretty hype about that. Oh, I'm I'm super hype about that. That's the that's the thing I want to watch. So I thought you were saying your hype levels for the Elimination Chamber are at the same as the Batman two. I'm establishing the Okay. Right. Now I'm with you. I am hyped for Batman two. It's the thing I'm most looking forward to in the world. And it's too far away. God, what's zero percent hype?'Cause I wouldn't say zero percent hype is something I'm

Not looking forward to another Tron movie. Yeah, it would say I'm totally indifferent to it. But I would Tron would probably hit the seven percent mark. Because I'm curious. Who has dirt on the executives at Disney to keep reviving that series? Um I would sa I would say if it if Zero is totally disinterested, but not actively hating, which would be like I dunno. What's something that I would actively not want to see? Raw alive. Uh I think it would be something like

Even Devil Wears Prada 2, I'm interested in. That's gonna say don't don't try and pretend that you're not excited about it. I love that movie. I love the first film. Okay, but zero is complete indifference. Hundred is the Batman two. I would say we are at Twenty one. Yeah, I was gonna say twenty-five. Yeah. And a lot of that, I would say a good twenty percent of that is the crate. Yeah.

I forgot about the crate. What's in the box is about 20% of my interest. Upgrades 25. I agree. Four percent for the box. Because criminally, I'm looking at the card on the Wikipedia page here. No match listing for the box. Of the box reveal. Four matches number five. Yeah. So only four matches because we reckon the chamber matches will be about, you know, forty, forty five minutes long.

And Becky uh AJ and Punk will get big Chicago entrances and we'll have about 40 minutes of adverts. But then, yeah, there will be. The box. Yeah. And you say like this only four matches. It's pretty standard.

At this point there were four matches for the Rumble and then there were four matches on war games. There are four matches on Saturday night's main event. I I Wait for a two hour fifteen card. I it would be, but it'll be three and a half hours. Um but yes, do we want to do the mystery box first?

No, that's the main event. We will save that to the end. Kids, instead of going to the box factory today, we're gonna go to CM Punk vs. Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship. I think I know my joke. For the Batman too. Yeah. Uh CM Pi. Yes, this will also be my Joker pick when we do WrestleLeague. Uh sign up for WrestleMania, link for that's in the video description down below.

I'm going for CM Punk to retain over Finn Balor. I think that Bala is going to have DO this Dom's gonna come out to try and help Bala, and that is gonna cost Finn Balor the max. And that will set up Bala vs. Dom for the IC title uh fr uh at WrestleMania in a storyline that started at last year's WrestleMania, then hasn't happened until two weeks later.

Uh I think you're moving a bit fast on that whole judgment day storyline. I honestly have not thought at all about what could happen after this match for Finn Bala. I think that's what happened. I do think he will be a baby. Yes, I agree. And we'll get six weeks of nothing segments where there's a bit of tension over his new morality. Yes.

For the Intercontinental Championship, Becky Lynch defends against AJ Lee. I've got AJ Lee down to win. Both I think the the show ends with AJ Lee and well not the show I think there's a chamber will probably the middle of the show happens. I guess there'll a chamber will open, a chamber will close, I think there'll be AJ and Becky, and then there'll be Punk and Bala and after the Punk Baller match, Punk and AJ pose with their

Do you not think we could open with men's, then have Becky Lynch, AJ Lee, then women's chamber, then main event with punk baller? I think you need more of a gap between But if you do the women's match, that women's match is going what, thirteen minutes? I that's it's not enough of a gap between the two chambers. I am more interested in the match order than who wins these matches. I'm just thinking'cause then you get the nice show closing moment of punk and a

with their belts in Chicago. I mean last year's chamber was main invented by the rock uh calling out for Cody's hole. So maybe this year's world main event with the box. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, but because Punk and A. J. Lee are in there, the box is brought down. Yeah. That's one for Danhausen. That does feel like a Danhausen thing right there. Uh but yes, AJ Lee, she'll win the IC title. I think Becky refuses to acknowledge she lost it again, and they build to an a stip match.

at WrestleMania, which I have already fantasy booked to be an I quit match. Which I love.

Let's do You're AJ Lee as well. I'm gonna AJ Lee as well. Um do you want to do the women's or the men's chamber first? I have no opinion. Okay, we'll do the women's one first then. It's Tiffany Stratton versus Rhea Ripley versus Alexa Bliss versus Aska versus Kiana James surprisingly versus Raquel Rodriguez for the shot at the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania forty two.

Yeah. Well do you want to do your bit first? So the stipulation of this match is that the winner will face Jade Cargill at WrestleMania forty two. And then she inserts herself into the Liv Morgan Stephanie Vacur match and it becomes Triple H's favourite. He's got three H's and he loves a triple threat. A triple threat for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania. And I think that is a much more interesting story than just doing Liv versus Steph in a singles match.

I think it pays off or plays off, rather, what you did at the Royal Rumble and then what you did uh two nights after the Royal Rumble in that title match between Raquel and Stephanie. And that becomes then quite a neat little story that you can tell. You know they've stopped telling that story.

Well well, maybe they he okay, I will concede that maybe they have stopped telling that story until after Liv has won the title at Mania, then that's her first title program and the the big turn happens on the RAW after Mania to set up the Clash in Italy. You gotta remember Dan Leighton might have worked you into a shoot brother. I I feel like it's gotta lead to something. The other reason the reason why I'm going down this path so much is because I'm looking at this line.

And who else is it gonna be? It'cause the a the answer is Tiffany? Yeah. And it's just Tiffany versus Jade. Like I don't wanna I don't wanna worry you, uh WWE. Your ticket sales are bad. And I don't think doing Tiffany Stratton versus Jade Cargill is going to sell any extra tickets. Do you think Raquel Rodriguez does? No, but at least it's a good story. I don't there's no story between Jade and Tiffany, we've just done that. The exactly long term booking.

That's not long term booking. That is a that is a story that's been done. They had a flawless feud. Uh it was just banger after banger. Nothing nothing went wrong in those matches. Re Ripley is gonna be in a tactile programme. Come on. Asker is gonna be involved in that tag title program. I think Alexa Bliss is as well. I agree with Charlotte. And Kiana James is the Montez Ford of this match, is going to get a big push.

Quote unquote about it. She's getting a big push because she's in the match. Actually means diddly dick, but she's in the match. Ergo, quote unquote, big push. Which only leaves Tiffany. But Tiffany versus Jade is It it's nothing. I don't want it to happen. But I tha that's my pick. I think it's Tiffany. I think it's Tiffany Straddle. Exactly. And that's what you gotta do. We're trying to get accurate predictions here. You go for the most conservative boring outcome.

I'm gonna I'm sticking with my guns, I'm going Raquel Rodriguez. I'm going for that the interesting option here. Is it though? Of of those options, yeah, I think it is. Look, it's not gonna be Asker, is it? No. I mean look, they could just go it's gotta be

Rhea Ripley versus Jade Cargill. Two hoss mummers. Uh it's the biggest match they can do because Rhea Ripley's their biggest star. Jade's got the title. They've not met. Yeah. Uh they weren't Jade wasn't in the war games match, so yeah, th there's that's definitely the biggest drawing match they could do. And I don't I you know, for the last few months or or weeks definitely, they've not been telling this tag title.

Storyline. That's true. That they could have just dropped it, or they'll go in a different direction where it's Kabuki Warriors, it's Alexa and Sharla, and it's Bailey and Lion. Uh, because we need Rhea Ripley for a bigger spot to sell tickets. And y now that you've actually said that, there is the argument maybe they thought Bianca would be back by now. Yeah. And Bianca is not back?

So we do need to have a bigger program for Rhea Ripley. Uh for for uh for Jade in the title. But again, that's too interesting. I'm sticking with Tiff.

Which brings us to the men's chamber for a shot at the uh WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania forty two. It is Randy Orton versus LA Knight versus Cody Rhodes versus Javon Evans versus Trick Williams versus Whoopsie Daisy J Uso. Uh so we both LA night, pretty obvious thing. Look, I applaud anyone. I will congratulate. I will shake the hands uh of anyone and I love the optimism of LA Night fans who still think he's going to get a big

I think he was going to eliminate Bronson Reed in this match. And now Bronson Reed is not in this match, which means that LA Knight now actually serves no purpose being in Um yeah, it's uh it's babyface, babyface, babyface, babyface, Trick Williams, cheered like a babyface, technically a heel, and babyface Jussa. Very odd lineup even if you include Bronson Reed in there.

Uh yeah, it feels I mean, I love that Javon Evans is in there. I think he will have a standout moment. Of course he's gonna Michael Cole even said it on the go home roar. Oh, can you imagine him hitting the OG cutter off a pod? Yeah. Oh yeah. It's what I figured it'd do. I hope they do something better than what I think they're gonna do.

Um but yeah, I d I look at this th one report's come out the I think it was Russell Votes that the Drew McIntyre match is gonna be something like a five way. Yeah, I heard this as well. Like they one of the ideas they'd pitched was Doing Drew versus Cody is too obvious and not uh it it's too predictable and it's not that inspiring.

So let's shake it up a little bit. Though Dave Meltzer originally pulled it a triple threat was being discussed and yeah, I think then now that's coming out, it could even be a five way in putting Randy and Alistair Black in there. Yeah. So Jacob Fattoo's the other name. I think it really undermines the chamber if all of a sudden the but like say if Randy Ordam wins and then like

Oh, and now these three people get at it as well, who didn't have to go through the chamber. Yeah, well my pitch originally was to put uh Jacob in this match as well and it ends in a double pin. And Cody and Jacob pin each other and then it becomes a triple thread. He's got three H's in his name, he loves a triple thread. It's a triple threat at WrestleMania. Uh I mean it's uh it's Cody right.

And if it's any of the others, I don't know how I feel. Well, okay, let's let's eliminate them one by one. It's not gonna be J Uso. Dave Bradshaw said I mean Jay's the replacement. Should really be J E so. It's to face Drew McIntyre. The person who has the most history there with Drew McIntyre is of course Cody Rhodes. And Randy. Uh and Randy, yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

I don't care. Okay, so let's eliminate them one by one. I don't think it's gonna be J Uso. Yep. It's not gonna be Trick Williams. That would be the most interesting. Just turn Trick Babyface. Cody somehow gets in the match as well. Yeah. It also doesn't have to be the main event. So you could do Trick versus Drew. Night opener. Yeah. Um it's not gonna be Javon Evans. Yeah, I think that's really unlikely. And it's not gonna be LA Knights. No. So that does leave just Cody and Randy.

I think I th I love Randy, uh like he's been amazing the last couple of years. I don't think TKO see him as a big tidal run draw anymore. He's sort of used as that person who floats around the title scene. Looks at titles. Looks at titles. Looks at cleavages. And then doesn't actually get the title shot.

Um but also he doesn't like getting pinned. So maybe he does win. Look, I th it's Cody Rhodes. We'd we're just going around the houses to try and make this more interesting. Trying to pat this out. These four matches, guys. YouTube can add another ad break in there if I talk for another two minutes. Um yeah, yeah, Cody. Do you know what I'm not I'm gonna say Trick William no I'm not. Can I? Yeah, Trick Williams doesn't matter, does it? It doesn't matter. Yeah.

Shall we get to the most fun part? Fine. Uh Edison Kieran, I'm saying Trick Williams. Put Trick Williams up on screen. Uh yes, so let's get to the fun part now. What's in the box? What's in the box? The box factory. We've got some box factory. Um Is it something Okay. Is it something actually

Agreed. I think if it was something actually big, it would not be in a comedy box that says do not open until the elimination chamber, then just got shipped to SmackDown, got shipped back to Raw and now is being shipped to Chicago. I don't think it's anything ac it's not Jericho. No.

A lot a lot of speculation it could be Danhausen because and I think you said this to me last week uh on a call, you said, Oh, Danhausen is what I think it could be And I was like, Yeah, I guess that makes sense. It's a it's a bit goofy, it's a bit comedy. But I made the argument Danhausen's peak of popularity was quite a few years ago. I think it would be fairly insane for WWE to try and capitalize on someone's momentum that doesn't actually exist anymore.

Uh Joe Hendry, Mr. Iguana. How how many more examples do you need? And this is the argument you made back to me, which I do concede. Yes, uh they've made Joe Hendry the NXT champion well past the peak of his popularity. But with Danhausen, you know, that's a pretty uh contrives the wrong word, but sort of it's it's a specialist gimmick.

I d and debuting him in front of Chicago, I think you'll get the most favorable crowd reaction. But the WWE crowd's been pretty dire recently. Like they're not they don't feel like hardcore fans. who would know the product to the extent where they would pop for a guy who had a few appearances In AEW and Ring of Honor several years ago. Yeah. And hasn't like the big sort of internet meme of Danhausen feels like it hasn't really been around much for a while.

Though my my follow up question to that is does WWE need Danhausen on the main rock CM Punk's mate, they're flailing. Look, the the curious thing is, it's human sized. So which'cause my my prediction is gonna be it's a promotional thing for WWE 2K. It's like a a stand and it's got the Super Edition set or it's whatever. I don't know. It's a promotional advert thing. It is a week before the game it comes out for a pre- It's I don't know. It can't be abyss, but it a an old character like

98 cane. Right? Just cane's in there. Mayor cane, but he's dressed as the 1998 cane. Yeah. Oh, wow. Pre-order bonus. Oh yeah, I recognize that from my childhood. I must order it now. That's my prediction. Is it's a two K mode? Yes. Or a two K downloadable. A two K promotional

You think that this is a little bit like the WrestleMania promo video that they did where they accidentally made people think that Santos Escobar was getting a new faction when really it was just a WrestleMania advert. Didn't think about that. Could be Santos Escobar. They did sign into a massive contract to they desperately needed him back. Where has he where has he been? Don't tell me triple A. Uh so what do you think of it? Danhausen. You're gonna go Danhausen.

Am I I guess I am. I really have no idea. Yeah. Because like here's my thing,'cause I agree with you. And I you know I I sort of raised the point as well myself. I don't think it can be anything big. I don't think it can be anything that is like truly monumental that's gonna shake the foundations of WrestleMania. Cause it's in a box. Hmm. I g it's in a b a crate that has been jokingly sent back and forth between raw.

So it can't be something important. It has to be something that's either comedy or nothing. Yeah. And what I've pitched there is comedy in Danhaus and what you've pitched is nothing in a two K Mose. I I think there's kind of it has to be somewhere in that region. If it comes out there's Jericho, I would just have so many questions about why why come up with this idea for Jericho? Yeah. Very unlikely to be Jericho still under contract with AEW reporter.

So yeah, I mean let us know your thoughts down in the comments. I feel like we've been asking this for the households again. It's uh it's uh again Yeah, we we debuted him, but uh that was three weeks ago. We can debut him again. What if it's Ober Femi? And people would be like, But he was in that backstage segment. It was like, It's the prestige

I don't know. Yeah, let us know in the comments what do you think is in the box? And it's weird, isn't it? Because I I've just really been very flippant about it, and that's twenty percent of my interest in this show is what's in the box. Well it's a sort of you know A Shardam Freud style of interest, isn't it? How will they screw this up? What how will they get themselves out of it? Oh, what if it's nothing?

What if they open the box and it's empty? Or if they open it and we just see a shot reverse shot of Pearson Naudis go and it's a glow. Or they open it and just inside is a note that says see you at WrestleMania. That's my new prediction. That's my new prediction. It is an empty box and there is a note inside that says, I'll see you at WrestleMania. And that's the big hook and tee. And maybe that'll be who's answering Brock Lesnar's open challenge. Oh my god.

Let's call this before you you you actually changing from Danahausen to a note. To a note. But have you seen how big that box is? That's the joke. If people are gonna think it's a person, it's not. It's actually technically empty, but it's got a note inside. Well get your uh predictions down in the comments and also go over to wrestletalk.com forward slash wrestle league where you can compete against us if you care enough about this show.
