WWE Elimination Chamber Took Place Once More in Jeddah

We watched with eyes wide open and full of adrenaline and thrill! The 2022 Elimination Chamber match was on Saturday night, live at the Jeddah Superdome.


Destination KSA was there through the entire event highlighting the scoops from Bobby Lashely’s unfortunate incident to the WWE’s Elimination Chamber Championship!

The press conference before the awaited night! We had the opportunity to meet the wrestlers with one-on-one interviews where we were able to witness the people behind the well-known characters before they were unleashed.

The WWE Smackdown Superstar, Charlotte Flair!  “Having watched the paper reviews from home, and feeling the energy and not even being there performing, I am looking forward to being in it and seeing just how amazing and crazy the fans are. Like in a good way how excited they are that we are here.” Her first time in Saudi, Flair expressed her excitement for being in here and finally coming up close with the dedicated fans of Saudi. “I think it’s just incredible that we’ve been able to come here so many times, and it just goes to show how global WWE is and how our fanbase just keeps growing and growing.” Without a doubt, the WWE fanbase has just gained a new fan: US!

“Being able to perform here as a woman means so much to me! Allowing us to – it’s just awesome all around.”Charlotte Flair.

The Four-Time World Champion, Goldberg!

It’s a barrier smasher.” he carried on saying, “After i came, it’s the most unbelievable feeling that i’ve ever had and it truly is a lot of people’s fault that they don’t experience this because it has smashed thoughts that I had before.”

“At the end of my career, right now, I am just so thankful that at this point or at any point I was able to open my eyes and hopefully my heart to the people here, and I’ve been taken in graciously.”Goldberg

The Elimination Chamber!

Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Doudrop vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Nikki A.S.H. vs. Alexa Bliss:
A round of applause to all the women who rumbled the stage at the women’s Elimination Chamber! The women’s elimination chamber startled the audience with the power and skills each wrestler brought to the wrestling ring. Bianca Belair wrestles for the win to once again be competing for the world title at WrestleMania scheduled to take place April 2nd and 3rd at the AT&T Stadium.

Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Theory vs. AJ Styles vs. Riddle:
The road to WrestleMania continued as the men took on the ring! The themed entrance of each wrestler hosted by the chant of the audience added a punch of thrill and excitement as we eagerly watched until the Elimination Chamber began! From Seth Rollins’s ‘Joker’-like vibe where he also pulled off the stunning Joker costume at the WWE Smackdown show to ‘The Almighty’ Bobby Lashley’s fired up entrance, the win was guaranteed by ‘the baddest man on the planet’ Brock Lesnar leaving the fired match as the new WWE Champion! We were all waiting for the Almighty to set foot onto the ring, however, Seth Rollins did the powerbomb move with Austin Theory into Lashley’s cell sending Lashley off for concussion protocols. Throughout his successful wrestling career, there was one thing Lesnar has never done up until last Saturday, wrestle in the Elimination Chamber!
