I recently came across a Twitch stream which is showing WWF, WCW, ECW episodes in chronological order from 1996 until 2011.

At the time of writing, the stream is currently in September 1998 which include WWF Raw, WWF Heat, ECW Television, WCW Nitro, WCW Thunder and Pay Per Views from the same companies.

[Update: The stream was called Shootworkbury but it has stopped streaming on Twitch. They are now on Kick]

52,590 WWE fans packed into the Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia for the Elimination Chamber event. Here are the results.

• The Kabuki Warriors defeated Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships
• Becky Lynch defeated Naomi, Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriquez and Liv Morgan and will face the winner of the Rhea Ripley vs Nia Jax Women’s World Championship match later on.
• The Judgement Day (Finn Bálor & Damien Priest) defeated New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate) to retain the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
• Drew McIntyre defeated Randy Orton, Logan Paul, LA Knight, Bobby Lashley and Kevin Owens and will face Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins at WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship.
• Rhea Ripley defeated Nia Jax to retain the Women’s World Championship. Becky Lynch will face Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania for the Women’s World Championship.

There was also the Grayson Waller Effect with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. They are planting the seeds for a tag team match between Cody/Seth vs Rock/Roman. We’ll see how this plays out.

For the 2nd time in WWE’s history, WWE travels to Australia for a Premium Live Event. Last time they were in the land down under was in 2018 for Super ShowDown.

There are 5 matches on the card. 2 ‘Chamber’ Matches and 3 title matches.

Title Matches

• The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) (C) vs Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae in a tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
  • PREDICTION: This match was made late this morning. Indi will get the home town pop, but I don’t think they are going to be taking the titles. Asuka and Kairi to retain.
• The Judgement Day (Finn Bálor & Damien Priest) vs Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate in a tag team match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships
  • PREDICTION: Finn & Damien don’t have any story leading them into Wrestlemania, so it would be good to have them drop the titles to Pete & Tyler, and then they can build to a big match at Mania. Who? I don’t know. Pete & Tyler to win.
• Rhea Ripley (C) vs Nia Jax in a singles match for the Women’s World Championship
  • PREDICTION: Rhea is the biggest star in the company right now. She is not going to lose in her hometown to the Australian Nia Jax… Wait a minute.
    In all seriousness, it would be criminal for Rhea to drop the title to Nia. Nia doesn’t need the title. Rhea to retain.

Non-Title Matches

• Becky Lynch vs Naomi vs Bianca Belair vs Tiffany Stratton vs Raquel Rodriquez vs Liv Morgan in an Elimination Chamber Match. Winner faces the winner of Rhea Ripley vs Nia Jax for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania!
  • PREDICTION: Chamber matches are very difficult to predict. You can discount Raquel, Tiffy and probably Naomi. They are great in their own right, but they are not ready for the title. Becky, Bianca and Liv are more than likely, and I would give 40/40/20 split respectively. I would like Becky to win, but wouldn’t be mad if either of the other two wins.
• Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre vs Logan Paul vs LA Knight vs Bobby Lashley vs Kevin Owens in an Elimination Chamber Match. Winner faces Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.
  • PREDICTION: Again, difficult to predict. You can remove Logan from the equation. While the other 5 could do it, it’s highly unlikely that LA Knight and Kevin would win. I really would like to see LA Knight winning it, but it seems we have all gone a bit… sour on him for some reason. Perhaps that is WWE’s fault for not slapping the title on him right away… Hopefully he can bounce back and become world champion down the line. For this, though, I have Drew McIntyre winning it and will face Seth at Mania.

And those are my predictions… What do you think?
