WWE: Elimination Chamber builds, nonsense with Ronda Rousey and Goldberg

Episode Summary

WWE's build for Elimination Chamber is nearly complete, but nonsensical booking for the event and WrestleMania 38 is creating frustration. Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini discuss WWE shoe-horning Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey and Goldberg into title feuds instead of letting their star power speak for itself. The guys talk Goldberg getting another world title match vs. Roman Reigns, the inevitability of title vs. title with Lesnar and a convoluted story leading to Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair. Plus, a strong Becky Lynch vs. Lita feud, Chad Gable's long-overdue elevation and everything from SmackDown and Raw.
