- SmackDown Elimination Chamber (Cesaro vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Jey Uso vs. Kevin Owens vs. King Corbin vs. Sami Zayn): 6/7. Started a bit slow but picked up once everyone was in the ring.
- Universal Championship (Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan): 5/7. Surprisingly entertaining for what was such a brief match and such a foregone conclusion.
- United States Championship (Bobby Lashley vs. Riddle vs. John Morrison): 2/7 I'd rather Matt Riddle was not on this show; I don't care about Bobby Lashley; and I knew John Morrison wasn't going to win. So I didn't care about this match.
- Women's Tag Team Championship (Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler vs. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks): 4/7. Bianca and Sasha don't have any reason to be a team (and nor do Shayna and Nia, really), and the stuff with Reginald seems weirdly pointless.
- WWE Championship Elimination Chamber (Drew McIntyre vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston vs. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus): 5/7. Why did AJ Styles cheat to give himself a disadvantage? In this type of match you want to enter as late as possible, so breaking out of your pod to get into the ring early is counter-productive. Also, disappointed that his pod didn't then get selected to open (to mark his official entrance into the match). I don't think they really thought this through. Also, like the other Elimination Chamber match, it didn't really get good until everyone was in anyway.
- WWE Championship Money in the Bank Cash-in (Drew McIntyre vs. the Miz): 4/7. I'm just glad the 2020 MitB story is finally over. Everything from the nonsensical race up the building, to Miz suing Otis, to Miz cashing it in but then getting it back, has been garbage.
Overall rating: 4/7. Having two men's elimination chamber matches instead of one men's and one women's was a weird choice. And cancelling the Raw Championship match instead of replacing Lacey Evans was another weird choice. The show had its moments, but a lot of it felt haphazard or less than it should have been.
