#5. Becky Lynch retaining the WWE RAW Women's Championship can be one of the things that can happen at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022

Becky Lynch will defend the WWE RAW Women's Championship at Elimination Chamber against Lita.

It was a match that caught many by surprise after fans thought Lita's Royal Rumble appearance was a one-off. Not many are complaining, though, as this is considered a dream match, even by Becky herself.

Lita used reverse psychology to get this match. She came out and complimented Becky and got her to say she would never decline a challenge. That led to Lita making a challenge for Elimination Chamber, and Becky was cornered.

The outcome for the match will see Becky Lynch retain the WWE RAW Women's Championship. Lynch's presence at WrestleMania seems obvious based on the past few months of storytelling. This is just one last obstacle she has to clear before that showdown.

For Lita, her future after Elimination Chamber is unclear. One would assume, though, that if she has a good performance, WWE will want to have her do something at WrestleMania.

What that would be is also unclear, but a match with Sasha Banks or a returning Bayley would be a great WrestleMania program.

4. Bianca Belair will win the WWE RAW Women's Elimination Chamber Match

Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Doudrop, Nikki ASH, and Alexa Bliss willl face off in the first-ever Women's Elimination Chamber Match in Saudi Arabia. The winner of the match will take on the WWE RAW Women's Champion at WrestleMania 38.

Only two women in this match have an actual history with Becky Lynch. But only one of those two have unfinished business with the reigning RAW Women's Champion.

Liv Morgan got the push that fans had been waiting for. That push led to two championship matches. Becky won the first by holding onto the ropes.

The second match saw Becky emerge victorious cleanly. The only controversy in the match was that it seemed like Becky's feet were supposed to be on the ropes to cause another controversial finish.

WWE seemingly brushed that under the rug, and Liv's push has slowed down.

The outcome for this match will see another woman with a history with Lynch, Bianca Belair, emerge victoriously. After losing to the returning Lynch at SummerSlam in a few seconds, Belair has come close to regaining the title. But has come up short due to shenanigans from Becky.

Since then, Becky has done everything in her power to avoid another match with Belair. This was evident when she assisted Doudrop in winning a #1 contender's match for the Royal Rumble.

With a victory inside the Elimination Chamber, Lynch will not be able to avoid Bianca. This will lead to one final match between the two at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas.

3. Drew McIntyre will begin to gain momentum towards post-WrestleMania push

After his surprise return at the Royal Rumble last month, Drew McIntyre will take on one of the men who took him out, Madcap Moss, in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

This is an important match for McIntyre, who is supposed to be SmackDown's top babyface.

When he was drafted to SmackDown in the WWE Draft last fall, the belief was that McIntyre would be the one to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. But that is not the case and McIntyre is in a feud with Moss and Happy Corbin.

When Goldberg and Brock Lesnar disappear after WrestleMania, WWE is going to have to build up more babyfaces to challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship. Guys like Big E and McIntyre should be at the top of that list.

With a win over Moss at Elimination Chamber and likely Corbin at WrestleMania. McIntyre will have tons of momentum that should be enough to position Drew as Reigns' challenger after WrestleMania 38.

#2. Roman Reigns will retain the WWE Universal Championship against Goldberg

Before his showdown with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. Roman Reigns will defend the WWE Universal Championship against Goldberg.

This is a match that has been in the works for two years now. Then Universal Champion Goldberg was scheduled to defend the title against Reigns at WrestleMania 36. The match never happened as the pandemic occurred and Reigns went on hiatus.

With every Goldberg match, there is nervousness amongst fans that he will win a title. The best example of this was the 2020 Super Showdown event. "The Fiend" entered the event as Universal Champion, and many believed he would easily retain.

However, Goldberg quickly defeated him to win the championship, much to the chagrin of fans.

History will not repeat itself here though, as Reigns will retain the Universal Championship. With WWE already announcing Reigns vs. Lesnar for WrestleMania, as well as that story being built since last year's SummerSlam.

It would be a massive mistake to end Reigns' historic reign right before WrestleMania.

It is also important to note that this is the last match on Goldberg's current contract. While there is a possibility that he will sign a new contract sometime before or after the Elimination Chamber. All signs point to this being Goldberg's last match.

#1. Brock Lesnar will regain the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber

Bobby Lashley will defend the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar, Riddle, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, and Austin Theory inside the Elimination Chamber.

This match can either be the most predictable on the card or the most unpredictable one. It all depends on what the company decides to do with the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

While the Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar is set in stone, Bobby Lashley has no clear challenger for him at WrestleMania. This may lead WWE to unify the titles at Mania by having Lesnar win the title again.

They could also have Lashley retain or someone aside from Lesnar win the title and go from there. Whether it is time to end the brand split is another topic for another time.

The outcome for this match will see Brock Lesnar regain the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber. With WWE putting all of their eggs in the Reigns-Lesnar basket, they will most likely go all out and have it be a title vs. title match.

Lesnar can not take another loss at Elimination Chamber, already coming off a loss at the Royal Rumble. He needs to look as strong as possible heading into his match with Reigns, who has been champion for over 530 days. There is no better way to accomplish this than to have him defeat five other men inside the Chamber.

Who do you think will be the winners at the Chamber on Saturday?
