Elimination Chamber is one of the most important WWE premium live events every year. Multiple talented superstars enter the chamber in an attempt to outlast their opponents for a match at WrestleMania.
Just like every other year, the match-card for the event seems promising. Stars like Austin Theory and Doudrop will enter the punishing structure for the first time, while veterans like AJ Styles and Seth Rollins will get one more chance to prove their worth at the event.
Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch will defend their titles against fresh challengers, while Drew McIntyre and The Miz will compete in non-title matches. Also, Ronda Rousey and Naomi will team up to battle Sonya Deville and Charlotte Flair.
Along with fantastic matches, various surprises and interesting moments can occur at the event. Here are five possible moments that could steal the show at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022.
#5. The Universal Championship match witnesses an unexpected finish at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022
Roman Reigns is scheduled to defend his Universal Title against one of his strongest challengers yet in Goldberg. This dream match has been anticipated by the WWE Universe for a long time.
The bout was supposed to take place at WrestleMania 36 in 2020, but couldn't happen that year. Fortunately, 2022 will finally feature the showdown between the two.
Reigns has been the Universal Champion for over 530 days and has defeated legends like Daniel Bryan, Edge and John Cena all in one year. Although everyone expects him to win at the Chamber, the company may have planned something different.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE may be planning a big swerve for the event, where Roman Reigns will unexpectedly lose to Goldberg.
It is worth noting that Goldberg has never been unsuccessful in winning a Universal Championship match as a challenger. If history repeats itself, fans may get to see the end of The Tribal Chief's dominant title reign.
Goldberg is scheduled to wrestle the last match of his contract at Elimination Chamber 2022, but there is always the possibility of him signing a new deal with the company.
If a new deal is in the works, the Hall of Famer may very well become the new Universal Champion.
#4. The Phenomenal One shines at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022
Bobby Lashley is scheduled to defend his WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber against the likes of AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Riddle, Seth Rollins and Austin Theory.
While many expect Lashley or Lesnar to win the match, all the other challengers would be credible winners as well. AJ Styles is one person that can certainly win if the title is to change hands on February 19.
The current booking of The Phenomenal One has been great. In recent weeks, he has defeated major stars like Damian Priest, Rey Mysterio and Austin Theory. One thing is clear - the company is building him up for something. Could it be a WWE Championship reign?
Styles winning can also ensure that fans get the dream match they want at WrestleMania - AJ Styles vs. Edge for the WWE Title. Both stars have shown interest in facing each other and the match being pitched for the Show of Shows is also in the rumors now. If the rumors are true, Styles will become the new WWE Champion.
#3. WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 sets up a Triple Threat match for WrestleMania 38
The Elimination Chamber match is known to have multiple twists and turns in it. This year's edition of the match can be used to set up the main event of WrestleMania 38.
There have been multiple instances of superstars invading the Chamber to assault their rivals. Just like he did at Royal Rumble 2022, Roman Reigns could interfere to make sure that Lesnar doesn't win the match.
If he does that and somehow his former Shield stablemate Seth Rollins gets involved between the two, fans might get a triple threat match in the main event of the Show of Shows.
Seth Rollins defeated Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble 2022 via disqualification, so their feud seems far from over. It might get rekindled at Elimination Chamber 2022 to set up a Reigns vs. Rollins vs. Lesnar rematch from WrestleMania 31.
#2. The Goddess rises at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022
The Women's Elimination Chamber match will contain major stars like Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Nikki A.S.H., Liv Morgan and Doudrop. They will battle it out for a RAW Women's Championship opportunity at WrestleMania 38.
Out of all six entrants, Alexa Bliss was the last one to be announced. It seems like she will now be leaving her spooky character and going back to being the Five Feet of Fury.
This character change has been anticipated for a long time and letting her win the Chamber will be an ideal way to restore her momentum leading up to the Showcase of the Immortals.
Little Miss Bliss' reincarnation could be as a babyface, making her the perfect rival for the heel Becky Lynch. Hopefully, she will win the match and go on to challenge for the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania.
#1. Cody Rhodes returns to WWE at Elimination Chamber 2022
Cody Rhodes has created a buzz among pro-wrestling fans since leaving All Elite Wrestling. Rumors of his return to WWE have been on the rise lately.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated recently reported that the former TNT Champion could start filming segments for his huge WWE return at the Performance Center starting 19-20 February.
What if WWE decides to shock fans by making him appear in some form at Elimination Chamber 2022? Major returns have previously been spoiled due to their appearance at the Performance Center. Making Cody Rhodes return for a segment is the best idea to thrill the pro-wrestling universe.
