Here is the card for Elimination Chamber PLE in Saudi Arabia tomorrow.
Rey Mysterio v The Miz
Falls Count Anywhere Match
Drew McIntyre v Madcap Moss
Smackdown Tag Team Championship.
The Usos (c) v The Viking Raiders
Ronda Rousey & Naomi v Sonya Deville & Charlotte Flair
Raw Women's Championship.
Becky Lynch (c) v Lita
Women's Elimination Chamber Match.
Doudrop, Rhea Ripley, Nikki ASH, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan & Alexa Bliss
(winner faces Becky Lynch/Lita for Raw women's title at Wrestlemania)
WWE Championship-Elimination Chamber Match.
Bobby Lashley (c), Austin Theory, Riddle, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins & Brock Lesnar.
Universal Championship.
Roman Reigns (c) v Goldberg
Quite a large card, would imagine that one of the matches will be on the kick-off show, maybe even two of them.
Haven't seen any WWE for two weeks so looking forward to the show very much!
There is a Smackdown tonight but it was taped from last week so they could travel to Saudi stress free.
As for the Undertaker, well that's deserved to say the least! I wonder who will induct him?

I've been sitting on this thought, and maybe it's obvious but I've not watched for a while, but the Alexa Bliss comeback...I've had a couple of thoughts. With how WWE has been, I can already see them having her do well in the match, everything's fine save for some untimely glimpses to the Lilly doll in the cell, then someone get the doll and controls her, like they did thirty years ago with Undertaker and the Urn, and she loses in a stupid way, controlling person loses, doll is ripped up, and Bliss goes unhinged again. That's what I'm predicting.
What I'd like to see is...maybe more ridiculous? So she's had the "Goddess" bit, then went to the spooky possessed/lost soul bit. If they're gonna do anything with that dark magic vibe, merge the two. Call it Fallen Goddess or Demoness, go back to some of the mannerisms and set pieces of the Goddess, but fully embrace the Fiend's supernatural malarkey. From what I've seen, I think she could pull that off, but I don't know for sure. Just putting a thought out before it festered too much.

Lesnar is the new WWE champion but the way is happened was a bit rubbish, Rollins gave Theory a buckle bomb through Lashley's pod whilst Lashley was still in it, Lashley was 'hurt' and helped to the back and didn't return due to 'concussion protocals' So the champion didn't even defend the title and Lesnar just ripped through everyone to win, its Champion v Champion at Mania now.
Match of the night for me was Lynch v Lita which was great and Lita looked fantastic, Becky retained and will face Bianca Belair for the Raw women's title after Belair won a really good women's chamber match and Alexa Bliss looked great on her return, Madcap Moss took a brutal bump when he landed right on top of his head in his match with Drew. SD tag title match never happened as Usos took out Viking Raiders during the latters entrance (they flew them all the way over for that!) Roman v Goldberg was fine for what it was and it could (or rather should) be Goldberg's last match as is contract is up. The women's tag match was good and Rousey had her Judo gear on.
Good show overall and the crowd were good, not sure how to feel after that men's chamber match though.

Correction, a poorly thought out and rushed Champion vs. Champion because WWE couldn't be asked to give the WWE Championship a proper storyline. It was the same thing with the Smackdown Women's Championship for Wrestlemania 35, it was just latched on the Main Event rushed because WWE had no idea what to do with it.
This event has the usual issue February PPVs in recent years of being the biggest filler where nothing really happens because we ready know what happens for Wrestlemania. We haven't had a February PPV swerve since Jack Swagger won the Elimination Chamber in 2013. Worse here because this Road to Wrestlemania is such a one track mind, if you're not Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Charlotte or Ronda Rousey. You don't matter.
I really wish I had access to AEW at this point.

Its been reported pretty much everywhere that Bobby Lashley suffered a shoulder injury during his Royal Rumble match with Brock Lesnar, it does need surgery and that unfortunately means four months out.
The thing during the Elimination Chamber match involving Lashley is way to write him out of TV for a while.

In two weeks time on Raw there will be a triple threat match for the tag titles, Alpha Academy defending against RK-Bro and now Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens after the latter two beat RK-Bro last night to be added to the match.
Finn Balor challenges Damien Priest for the US title next week after Priest wanted someone to step up, Balor and Tommaso Ciampa beat Ziggler and Roode earlier in the night, it was Ciampa's first match on Raw.
Edge gave a great promo asking for someone to step up and face him at Mania and he dropped hints to the likes of Balor, AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes (he should face Styles IMO) Logan Paul will team up with the Miz to face the Mysterios at Mania after Miz announced him as his tag partner, they then attacked the Mysterio with skull crushing finales, Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE title at the MSG house show next Saturday, Heyman announced it.
No Cody last night, or Veer....and that's five months now!

I think AJ is in a similar boat to Kevin Owens. They've done most they could possibly do in their wrestling careers already. Might as well as stay where the moneys at.
EDIT: Drake Maverrick has been rehired by WWE. WWE seems to not know whether or not they want him or not

I loved A.J. Styles back since his TNA days (remember "Get Ready To Fly!"?). He's legit, folks. He will definitely remain a fixture in the WWE. That is, unless he wants to bolt over to AEW (which starts tonight!), Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling, or some other promotion.

When MJF isn't going into borderline edgelord territory with his promos he's pretty dang good.

Musings of the latest AEW Dynamite...
* Did any of you see MJF on AEW from tonight's AEW Dynamite? Even though MJF is a jerk, what he talked about in advance of his match with C.M. Punk made me respect MJF more.
* Bryan Danielson and Daniel Garcia played to a pretty awesome match as the main event of the evening.
Pretty good Dynamite tonight. I'm all of a sudden reciting "What have I become?" from Jericho's theme.

Technically not quit, his contract run down and there were offers from WWE but they couldn't agree terms, interestingly because his contract run out he doesn't have the 90 day no compete thing, so he can go anywhere he wants right away.
Brilliant worker and one of the most under-rated wrestlers WWE have ever had.

Remember when he beat Seth Rollins at Mania last year and they made a big deal out of it and he was supposed to get a big push? Didn't really happen did it? He did have a title match v Reigns but he was just another guy who Reigns beat really.

To me, Cesaro is one of the greatest wrestlers to never become Heavyweight Champion. He has all the tools (so to speak). He was the best pound-for-pound wrestler in any promotion. To learn of him being no more is absolutely sad. If you ask me, Cesaro should be a Hall of Famer.

Vince McMahon will be a guest on Pat McAfee's show this coming Thursday. There are reports that Vince will have a match against McAfee at Mania, not making that up!
Reigns v Lesnar match at Mania is no a unification match and they had the contract signing for it last night, I'm not excited for it right now. Johnny Knoxville returned last night to challenge Sami Zayn for an IC title match, Sasha Banks also returned last night and it looks like she will team up with Naomi.

Xia, Xia, Xia... you know what? I was very impressed with Xia Le in her first ever match on SmackDown!. "The Protector" seems more like a real-life superheroine. Like, what if Mulan was real? She downed Natalya with a Chuck Norris-style roundhouse kick. Xia dislikes vultures, and she took down a very seasoned vulture. I just hope her shelf life doesn't go the way of Hit Row or somebody.
