AEW Elimination Chamber Fantasy Booking: What If All Elite Wrestling Had This Gimmick Instead?
I’ve constantly had an interest in “what if” situations. In a parallel truth where just one thing was various, how would things play out in a different way? Alternate principles and dream reservation opens itself approximately a variety of conversations in professional wrestling, and with Elimination Chamber showing up this Saturday, the idea popped into my head: What if AEW had the Elimination Chamber at Revolution, instead of this being a WWE principle?
For argument’s sake, let’s state the whole lineup is precisely the exact same it is right now. All the very same champs are holding their titles, the fights are still in tact, and so on.
The only genuine distinction would be that rather of a Face of the Revolution Ladder Match that will likely be contributed to the card, AEW had the ability to place on a couple of Elimination Chamber bouts, rather.
Who would remain in them? What would they be for?
Let’s check out some concepts in this innovative workout!
Setup & & Extraneous Factors
For simpleness’s sake, I’m going to book as much of a comparable card as possible to what WWE is producing.
That indicates MJF vs. Bryan Danielson, which is currently on the card, equates to the Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn match.
It suggests the 2 Elimination Chambers I’ll be focusing on are going to be for AEW’s equivalent of the United States Championship (aka, the TNT Championship) and a females’s match to figure out the No. 1 competitor for the leading title in that department (Jamie Hayter’s Women’s World Championship, as opposed to Jade Cargill’s TBS Championship).
That indicates I’m not going to different Samoa Joe vs. Wardlow. I’ll go ahead and state that I’ll keep the tag group four-way as is (at least, for what it is right now, while 2 groups are to be identified) and I’ll even keep Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page different in a Texas Deathmatch to act as the equivalent of Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley.
There isn’t a combined tag group match for me to leap directly into for a parallel to Beth Phoenix and Edge versus Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor. I will mention that I’m not consisting of The Jericho Appreciation Society or Ricky Starks in the Elimination Chamber match. In my mind, that is too different of a fight and it might serve as a replacement for the blended tag match, in theory.
With that in mind, let’s begin breaking down my choices for the cage matches themselves!
AEW Women’s World Championship No. 1 Contender Elimination Chamber Match
Jamie Hayter is champ. She requires 6 females to be in contention to combat her down the line.
Preferably, these are the leading 6 females on the lineup, however I ‘d eliminate Cargill. She’s currently holding her own title and is on an unbeaten streak.
Britt Baker is a certain for the list. Not just is she the gold requirement of the department, her addition likewise gets the fans to question whether they’ll see Baker vs. Hayter.
Toni Storm would need to remain in the mix, too. Clearly, they’re still feuding. Disregarding Storm would not make any sense.
Ruby Soho is stuck in the middle of this growing split in between the lineup. She’s an ideal dark horse to win this.
The other 3 are a little more difficult to determine, for a range of factors.
Saraya is a prospect, however you do not wish to have her versus Storm at any point. Plus, she requires to be dealt with delicately for her possible injuries. Tossing her in this cage isn’t an excellent concept. I ‘d rule her out. She can assist and interfere Storm out or something.
I would go directly to Thunder Rosa If she had actually returned from injury by now, being on here. Given that she hasn’t, I think she’s off the table. Hikaru Shida, who would have made an EASY choice to be included here, has actually run out action the previous 2 months from a finger injury, too. That eliminates Kris Statlander As Willow Nightingale and even The Bunny. This is rough.
At this moment, I believe you’re taking a look at a group of 3 individuals who stand practically no possibility to win. Amusing enough, that is likewise what is occurring with the Raw Women’s Championship title shot. There is no other way Nikki Cross, Natalya or Carmella will win that match. Let’s attempt to discover the equivalents of those 3.
Similar to how Nattie is included when they require somebody to fill a space, I believe that might go to Nyla Rose. She ‘d be the hard “beast” of the match.
I ‘d likewise toss either Anna Jay or Tay Melo in there. Just one of them. My choice would lean more towards Jay, however Melo works simply great enough. They aren’t included as straight in the Ricky Starks vs JAS fight, so I see no reason that they can’t be competing for a title shot.
That last area might go to somebody at random like Athena, Riho, Red Velvet, Leila Grey, Kiera Hogan, Penelope Ford, Serena Deeb or Madison Rayne. I would take the chance to go with Julia Hart to offer her a long time in the spotlight she seldom ever gets.
Eventually, the winner of the match would need to come down to either Storm or Soho. Considering that I believe the more intriguing situation is Soho turning heel and lining up with Storm and Saraya, let’s opt for Ruby winning this and going on to combat Hayter.
AEW TNT Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Clearly, given that Austin Theory is entering into the United States Championship Elimination Chamber match, the AEW equivalent is Samoa Joe protecting his TNT Championship. That looks after among the 6.
Plainly, the 2nd ensured member of the match is Wardlow. He’s not just the individual Joe beat to win the title the very first time around, he’s likewise the person battling Joe at Revolution as is.
In general, I believe Darby Allin makes good sense for the very same factors. Having actually simply beaten Joe for the belt and lost it right back, Allin would remain in contention for another shot regardless of their entire “last match without any other possibilities” terms. Put simply, you simply do not have them state that. Plus, do not all of us wish to see what shenanigans Allin would get up to inside this structure?
Discovering 3 others isn’t challenging. The tough part is limiting the field when there are plenty names worth discussing.
I ‘d eliminate Orange Cassidy for having his own title, along with The Elite as trios champs. The exact same opts for the ROH champs Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta. In spite of how I ‘d like to see somebody like Miro return, considering that he’s MIA, I’m ruling him out, too.
Christian Cage’s return might have been held back a bit to enable Jungle Boy Jack Perry to be included. He particularly wishes to defend songs gold this year, is a workhorse in the ring, and an underdog that would completely fit filling an area.
Eddie Kingston is a fan favorite who can brawl with the very best of them. Put him therein.
Among the significant alternatives that stands apart to me is Mark Briscoe. I can see an argument to not include him if you do not desire him to lose, however considering that he’s brand-new to being able to battle on AEW tv and has a great deal of momentum on his side through Jay’s regrettable death, he’s a huge name to not ignore. For argument’s sake, however, let’s simply state that he might be changed by a handful of others if you do not wish to put him in this position. A couple of recommendations would be Powerhouse Hobbs, Konosuke Takeshita, Brian Cage, Keith Lee, Swerve Strickland, Malakai Black and PAC.
While I’m not offered on the forecast that Theory will drop the United States title, I do believe Joe is losing the TNT Championship to Wardlow. Basic as that.
