Santino Morella won the
Battle Royal for the opportunity to be involved in the Elimination Chamber
match for the WWE World Championship title, on SmackDown. During the PPV we saw vignettes of Morella
training for the match just like the greatest underdog in movie history, Rocky
Balboa. In the match Morella pinned Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett. He out lasted
four other men to go one on one with the reigning WWE World Champion Daniel
Bryan. Towards the end of the match Morella hit Bryan with the “Cobra” and honestly
I believed the WWE was willing to put the belt on him. Even though Morella hit
his devastating finishing maneuver it wasn’t enough. Bryan placed Morella in
the LeBell lack, to gain the win. Morella is considered, the comic relief of
the WWE, but this guy can wrestle. I am happy he got the opportunity to be part
of the main event; he was a pleasant surprise inside of the ring.
