Punk and Bryan retain!

In what was a somewhat shaky PPV, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan both retained their World Championships, which means the two indy stars will defend their titles at the WWE's biggest event, Wrestlemania! Jericho was never really eliminated from Raw's Chamber, which was a good thing. WWE didn't want Punk or Jericho to pin one another before Mania, I like it. It makes Jericho/Punk fresh for Wrestlemania. Other than that, the Raw chamber was kind of forgettable. Smackdown's on the other hand, is one I will never forget because it's the match that Santino Marella almost became World Heavyweight Champion. In the match, Marella pinned BOTH Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett. Are you serious? The future of the WWE? Pinned by this comic relief character? Really? Anyway, the crowd was HOT and wanted to see the upset of a lifetime, but it wasn't to be as Bryan finally got the victory. Sheamus made a brief appearance, setting up a clash with Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania. I don't think it's just going to be those two though. Orton has to be inserted into the match somehow, especially since Bryan technically took him out of the match with the title shot this past Raw. And I don't think Barrett and Orton are done yet, so better book a Fatal Four Way for Wrestlemania, seeing how we haven't had a Fatal Four Way for a World Title in about a year or so. Good setup for Mania.

Cena gets the obvious victory over Kane and now looks forward to facing The Rock at Wrestlemania in less than 6 weeks. I don't think it should have been main event, but neither Chamber match felt like it should have closed the show either. Maybe the Divas Title match? Anyway, good last PPV match for John Cena, it's time to be on Team Cenation now.

After tonight, we have some of the top matches for Wrestlemania brewing. Jericho/Punk and Sheamus/Bryan in some form are our title matches, Triple H/Taker is unfortunately all but confirmed, and of course we have Rock and Cena. Both title matches have some REAL potential this year, much better than last year's and the undercard should be really solid with the return of the MITB and whatever Rhodes does; either facing Marella or Goldust. Wrestlemania 28 should be a good show, let's just see if WWE puts these matches in motion.
