Roman Reigns, Goldberg get Jeddah WWE Elimination Chamber up and running

JEDDAH: Jeddah’s superdome is hosting WWE’s final stop before WrestleMania for the first time on Saturday.

The event kicked off strong with a match which was set to take place 2 years ago at WrestleMania, with Roman Reigns and Goldberg set the stage for the evening kicking off their Universal title bout.

Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic this match didn't happen, and Goldberg appeared and challenged Reigns to a match for the Universal Championship in a move that many say is one come back too many.

Roman proved to be a wrecking force as he defeated Goldberg via submission to retain his championship.

17:30 GMT: Next up was the Woman's Elimination Chamber match. This match was announced at the beginning of the month on an episode of Raw, with the winner earning a Raw Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 38.

Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. were announced for the match with one spot to be filled. The following week, Belair won a gauntlet match to earn the right to enter the match, also after weeks of therapy sessions because her doll had been destroyed at Extreme Rules last September, Alexa Bliss completed her final session and named herself as the sixth competitor for the match.

The menacing structure was a befitting stage for the ladies as they put it all on the line. With double suplexs, and rough chops as part of this showdown all the women put their heart on line.

Belair and Alexa were the final two participants of the match and Belair pinned Bliss to win the match and the shot for the title at WrestleMania.
