The WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event was truly a night of solid action action and memorable events. The show was certainly long, but it seems like the actual amount of time in the ring is shocking.
The February 24 event in Perth, Australia marked WWE’s first live Premium event in the country since Super Showdown in 2018. Rhea Ripley retained her Women’s World Title against Nia Jax in the main event, while Drew McIntyre exited victorious in the men’s Elimination Chamber match. , winning a World Heavyweight Championship match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
Becky Lynch secured victory in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, setting up a showdown at WrestleMania 40 against Ripley. The Undisputed Tag Team Championships and WWE Women’s Championships were also on the line in their respective matches.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2024, which covers the hour-long kick-off show, extended by a run of four hours and 30 minutes. Within this time period, only 1 hour, 50 minutes and 13 seconds were dedicated to in-ring action, making up approximately 40.8% of the total event duration. The remaining runtime was allocated to video packages, Peacock ads and Australian Tourism Board endorsements.
The most notable break in the action occurred between the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Title match and the start of the Men’s Elimination Chamber, which lasted 55 minutes. The “Grayson Waller Effect,” featuring Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, contributed to this interval with a 22-minute performance.
It’s clear that WWE really cares more about the presentation and things outside the ring than the action inside the ring, at least when it comes to Elimination Chamber. Regardless, it remains to be seen if WrestleMania 40 will end up being the same in April.
