A secretive situation. The talent was just told "personal issues".

Ok, they just taped two months of TV so it is more obvious than when I was told but Lars is set to be off all shows for a long while.

Well, it doesn't have to be on a Takeover.

But Unstoppable and Brooklyn 2 are the only ones.

They taped a 2nd Women's match at Wargames but that was done for TV. Probably to save on some travel for Ruby since she was getting called up.

It's a bit main roster-y, but I think LeRae vs. Vega with an "If Vega loses, she's banned from ringside for the main event" match in NOLA would be a pretty good way to push LeRae right away.

It may have been posted already, but here are the rumored names for the Women's Elimination Chamber.

Bayley / Sasha Banks / Nia Jax / Alexa Bliss / Mandy Rose / Sonya Deville

I'm really wary of this match if true. I would sub out Mandy or Sonya for Mickie James, to be honest.

Hey, Asuka needs somethin' to do, right? And with twelve people in two matches, you're gonna need to pad out this card. Do Mickie vs. Asuka.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I think Moon should lose the belt at the next Takeover because until she turns heel or moves to the main roster and beats Asuka, she will always be defined as the woman who won the title by being second best and needing her rival to leave the promotion in order to do so. She's stuck in Lex Luger limbo with this title reign.

Padding on the floor outside the ring, and most of the chamber is made of plexiglass so that there's limited viewing obstruction. Its a lot less brutal looking, but they did make it easier to jump off of the top of the pods and get some height.

I assume Jordan gets replaced with Cesaro or Miz.

Roman and Braun are both really good at the kind of No DQ car crash that the Chamber embodies. They won't be able to tip stuff over and smash tables but they'll probably do some creative stuff anyway. Seth is great, Cena's been in enough chambers to know what he's doing. Elias is an obvious and glaring weak link but besides that, if they don't book it stupidly, it should be good.
