SPOILER - Raw Elimination Chamber announced

WWE have just announced that the raw chamber will be:

CM Punk (c) vs Dolph Ziggler vs Chris Jericho vs The Miz vs R-Truth vs Kofi Kingston

Thoughts?

Really?!

Kofi Kingston? Strange, he hasn't been anywhere near the title picture.

I guess the Cena/Kane feud will be carrying on then.

I would imagine Del Rio would've have been in the Chamber as well, maybe he is out for longer than what was first thought? I expected him to return last night.

In terms of actual wrestling ability that should make a good Elimination Chamber. I am just surprised as it presumably means that the Cena/The Rock match is going to be without the title. Also I just can't see any of those guys winning the world title before Wrestlemania so surely Punk will be going into 'Mania with the WWE Championship. The only one with a chance is Chris Jericho, but I just can't see that.

I know the Chamber PPV is only 3 weeks away, but wouldn't it have made sense to announce the line up on Raw? Failing that, a few qualifiying matches?

Would of made more sense for the Raw EC match to be for a Wrestlemania match for Punks WWE title, like last year

I presume they'll announce it on Raw as if it wasn't announced on WWE.com. It would have made a lot more sense to have qualifying matches, rather than five random guys handed a world title opportunity.

Dolph Ziggler just lost a world title match clean, Chris Jericho has wrestled only at the end of the Rumble, The Miz has dropped away from the world title picture, R-Truth has only recently returned from a kayfabe injury, Kofi Kingston just lost the tag team championships, never mind a world title match.

I'm slightly confused with the e in recent. Most of the rumble was filler and had no substance.


The fact that a guy who has been in limbo the last few weeks and who's being feuding with jinder Mahal tells you all you need to know.

Hopefully he won't be on 1st like del Rio last year.

Not nessacerily, depends which title Sheamus has decided to go for....although I assumed he'd be choosing the World Title
