This year’s WWE Elimination Chamber was held at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on February 28.

The premium live event featured Rhea Ripley winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, Randy Orton winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, CM Punk successfully retaining his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor, and AJ Lee becoming the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion by defeating Becky Lynch.

The event also saw the WWE debut of former AEW star Danhausen. Based on reactions across Instagram, Twitter, and other platforms, fans largely enjoyed the recent premium live event.

However, one aspect of the show did not sit well with a former WWE personality. Jonathan Coachman called out WWE for what he described as a major creative mistake on Twitter following Elimination Chamber.

Jonathan Coachman Says Raquel Rodriguez Was A Better Choice Than Rhea Ripley To Win WWE Women’s Elimination Chamber

Coachman argued that WWE should have booked Raquel Rodriguez to win the Women’s Elimination Chamber match instead of Ripley, stating that it would have led to a more compelling storyline between Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.

Coachman tweeted, “Not only are these decisions short sighted but you could have gotten so creative with content if Raquel now you have 2 members of the judgment day that could have their egos be bruised, members choose side, and a lot of back and forth. I doubt they do that with Rhea and Liv but they do both have history with Dom.”

There has been subtle tension between the two Judgment Day members ever since Morgan betrayed Rodriguez at the Royal Rumble, eliminated her from the match, and went on to win the Rumble.
