Elimination Chamber Qualifier
The most significant event of the WWE Raw was that Cody Rhodes emerged the clear winner in a Triple Threat match, the reward of which was a place in the Elimination Chamber, and a significant number of participants. It was the match of Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu who were keen to revenge the defeat at Royal Rumble. Zayn was only beaten by Drew McIntyre and neither Rhodes nor Fatu won the actual Rumble match.
Rhodes-Fatu Rivalry Sparks
The competition especially between Rhodes and Fatu had some personal connotation. The increasing competition between them was clearly observed in the first bell. Both men had already tried to counteract Zayn, and were hopeful of getting at him singly. But within seconds, The Underdog of the Underground switched by changing the tone. When the broadcasting changed to commercial, Zayn surprised the audience by making an enormous jump of the two contestants.
Within 20 and above minutes, the three contestants created an interesting and planned rich main event. The format gave each Superstar some time to rest and the two others have a fight. But there were even some dramatic situations during which the three were at loggerheads with one another. The non-straining spectacle was rhythmic and it was incorporated into the story, and all the giant strides were there.
McIntyre Interferes Chaos
Mayhem had preceded, just before it gave the victory to Fatu. Drew McIntyre came to the stage and killed Fatu with a Claymore. He trailed Rhodes after with a second Claymore. Then McIntyre put Zayn above Rhodes in what seemed to be the intention of influencing the result. Nevertheless, The American Nightmare avenged and he was not losing his hopes.
Rhodes Secures Chamber Spot
A Helluva Kick hit Zayn a few seconds later and neutralized McIntyre. This was not something that favored them. Rhodes seized his chance and put Zayn into the Cross Rhodes to get the Cross Rhodes. The win earns Rhodes a ticket into the Elimination Chamber, despite the misfortunes surrounding the statement performance and external interference in the match.
