WWE: Elimination Chamber 2013 - Live Coverage

[LG]

Cena looks disappointed as Ryback heads to the back angrily. Both Sheamus and Cena look on and their disappointment turns to shock.

In the Arena:

Dolph Ziggler comes out with AJ and Big E. in tow. He’s not too happy about not being booked. He says it’s great that Jack Swagger came into the Elimination Chamber after his long vacation and won. He probably thinks he’s guaranteed the championship, but nope, the briefcase that Ziggler has guarantees it. Ziggler has stolen the show more than anyone.

He’s interrupted by Booker T who says Ziggler may just be wasting everyone’s time. He knows Ziggle feels like he can do things no one else can do, but Booker begs to differ because he knows someone who can do everything, and a little bit more than Dolph can, and he’s his opponent now.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston makes his way out for an impromptu match with Ziggler. The bell rings and Ziggler clamps on a head lock, taking Kofi down to the mat. Kofi fights up and hits a dropkick before monkey flipping Ziggler out of the corner hard. Kofi misses a splash in the corner and runs shoulder first into the ring post. Ziggler catches Kofi with a dropkick of his own before putting him in a headlock. Kofi fights up to his feet and ducks a couple of clotheslines, but Ziggler is able to lock on the sleeper hold and Kofi drops down to one knee.

Kofi is able to fight up and he tosses Ziggler from the ring. Big E helps Ziggler up, and ends up eating a dive from Kofi. AJ accidentally distracts Ziggler and allows Kofi to hit the trouble in paradise, but it’s only good for two. Ziggler rolls to the outside, and Kofi dives out, wiping out Big E again. Kofi sends Ziggler back into the ring and takes him out with a big springboard cross body. Kofi heads to the top, but he’s stopped by Ziggler. Ziggler tries for a superplex, but instead drops him down on the top turnbuckle stomach first. Ziggler hits the Zig zag, then gets the three count.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Following the match, Big E gets into the ring and hits Kofi with a couple of clubbing blows before hitting him with a running splash that flattens Kingston. Langston hits Kingston with a series of knees to the gut, then shoulders him, dropping down to the mat with Kingston across his shoulder. Langston holds one arm high and screams out, standing over top of Kingston.

More to come …. continue refreshing often!

WWE Title Match
If The Rock gets himself disqualified or counted out, CM Punk wins the title
CM Punk vs. The Rock

CM Punk is the first man to make his way out to the ring with Paul Heyman carrying the WWE Title and holding it up behind him. Punk definitely has his supporters, but it’s not hard to see who this crowd will likely be rooting for.

Punk has himself introduced as the People’s Champion, and he holds the title high above his head, walking around the ring and showing it off to all the fans in attendance.

The Rock is out next and he gets a massive pop on his way into the arena.

After a slow formal ring introductions, and a reminder from Justin Roberts that if the Rock gets DQ’ed or counted out, he will lose the title, it’s time for the main event.

The bell rings and both men circle each other. Punk kicks at Rock before ducking a lock up. Punk continues to kick away at Rock before they finally lock up. Punk drops Rock with a shoulder block, and Punk is quick to celebrate. Another lock up and Punk clamps on a headlock. Rock pushes Punk off and is dropped with another shoulder block. Punk gloats again and Rock doesn’t look too happy. A third lock up and another headlock from Punk leads to another push off, and a third shoulder block from Punk. This time Rock retaliates with a couple of arm drags before Punk bails to the outside.

Punk gets back into the ring and slowly walks up to stare down the Rock. Rock and Punk have words before Punk slaps Rock. Rock hits Punk with a series of rights in the corner and Punk calls for more. The ref reminds Rock he’ll be DQ’ed and lose the belt, but Rock continues with the rights before being pulled off again. Rock stops himself and Punk smiles before getting to his feet and spitting in Rock’s face. Rock attacks and sends Punk to the outside, following and launching Punk into the barricade, then hitting a big clothesline. Rock slams Punk head first into the announcer’s table before laying Punk out across the table.

Punk rakes Rock’s eyes and heads back into the ring. Rock follows and Punk catches him with a quick clothesline, then a neckbreaker. Punk places Rock in a rear chin lock and works over the champ. Rock fights to his feet, but Punk pulls him right down to the mat. Punk releases the hold and hits a couple of knee and elbow drops. Punk goes for the pin but is only able to get a two count, so he goes right back into the chin lock.

Rock fights to his feet and out of the hold, but he runs right into a back heel kick from Punk that leads to another near fall. Punk pulls Rock up and hits him with a big suplex that puts Rock down for another two count. Punk puts on another rear chin lock, and Rock is quick to fight to his feet this time. He gets out of the hold and hits Punk with a big right, then another. Punk is able to catch Rock with a big boot, then a springboard clothesline which is good for another near fall.

Rock fades, but eventually he’s able to get back up to his feet. Rock fights Punk with a series of rights, but Punk ducks a clothesline in the corner and Punk connects with a high knee. Punk stalks Rock and backs up across the ring. He runs in with another high knee, then puts Rock down with a right hand. Punk goes to the top rope hitting the elbow drop for another two count.

Rock tries for the Rock bottom, but Punk fights it off and hits Rock with a big kick to the side of the head.

Punk picks up Rock and tosses him to the outside again. This time he gets him up on the Spanish announcer’s table, and he hits the Rock bottom, planting Rock on the table. The table doesn’t break, I guess they reinforced it too much after last month. Punk rolls back into the ring and smiles, but Rock is able to beat the count. Punk mounts Rock and hits him with a series of punches to the face. Punk hits the ropes and runs right into a big Samoan drop from Rock.

Both men get to their feet and Rock hits Punk with a giant right hand, then another. Punk responds with a couple of his own, but Rock gets the upper hand with a big clothesline. Rock hits a DDT, then waits for Punk to stand up. Rock tries for the Rock bottom, but Punk fights it off with a series of elbows to the head and neck, then the back of the Rock. Punk rolls out to the apron and gets to his feet, trying for another springboard clothesline. Rock catches Punk with a Rock bottom, and he goes for the pin, but Punk kicks out at two.

Punk rolls to the outside and Rock follows, bringing things back into the ring. Punk tosses Rock into the referee and the ref falls to the outside. Punk hits the Rock with the G2S, and Punk covers the Rock for a ten count, clean, but there’s no referee. Heyman is pleading with the referee to get up. Another official is down. Punk tries for another G2S, but Rock fights out and hits a spinebuster. Rock hits the People’s elbow and pins Punk, but Punk kicks out at two!

Punk knocks over the other official, causing him to roll his ankle, before hitting Rock with a kick to the side of the head. Punk calls for Heyman to get him the title, and Heyman obliges. Heyman gives the belt to Punk and then holds Rock. Punk winds up and aims for Rock, but Rock ducks and Punk hits Heyman. Rock hits Punk with the Rock bottom and the original official is in. Rock pins Punk for three.
