Result: Kalisto def. Kidd by pinfall (Solina Del Sol)
Rating: 3.1 stars out of 5 stars
All the other teams form the Elimination Chamber match are at ringside as lumberjacks. Match starts and Kidd and Sin Cara are the first two in. There’s a beautiful combo move by Kidd and Cesaro of an Uppercut/German Suplex that shows how good they are as a team. New Day Sucks chants still manage to erupt even though they aren’t competing. The match continues with great back and forth action. Kalisto hit a backhandstand headscissors as we go to break.
Come back from break with Cesaro in control of Kalisto.Kalisto springs himself off of Cesaros back for a hot tag to Sin Cara. Cara hits a second rope springboard moonsault onto Kidd for a two count. Kidd uses Cesaro’s back as a way to maintain his body control and hit Sin Cara with a headscissors of his own.
Cesaro hits multople uppercuts on Sin Cara but is interrpted as he tries to hit Cara with a big swing. Kalisto hits a huge front handstand rebound enziguiri to Cesaro for a two count. The Lucha Dragons have so many tricks it is so impressive to watch. Kalisto tries to roll to the outside but is thrown back in by the Prime Time Players. Listo kick to Kidd for a twocount. Kidd reverses a hurricanrana into a sharpshooter but Sin Cara broke up the submission.
Sin Cara lifts Cesaro out to take out the Ascension and the PTP on the outside. Woods grabbed Kidd’s leg to distracted him, and Kalisto hit the Solina Del Sol for the pin!
This match continues the animosity between Kidd & Cesaro and the New Day, and makes Lucha Dragons the favourites in the Elimination Chamber! Wonderful match with great action.
