With WrestleMania 36 just around the corner, we'll be entering the final phase of WrestleMania season starting with this Sunday's Elimination Chamber.
With Friday Night SmackDown also confirming Daniel Bryan Vs. Drew Gulak for the show, I'm expecting a cracker-of-a wrestling event this Sunday in Philadelphia.
One cannot deny that this year's WrestleMania card is stacking up real quick and every single time the WWE Universe feels that they may be heading into a rather predictable Road to the Grandest Stage of Them All, Vince McMahon's last-minute cataclysmic decisions leave them all in a state of exhausted happiness.
The creative blunder of handing the Universal Championship to Bill Goldberg did leave us all disheartened, but Elimination Chamber could be a perfect opportunity for WWE to redeem themselves and get things back on track.
Could Vince be secretly planning something jaw-dropping for Philadelphia? Let's dive deep and concentrate on the 5 biggest things Vince McMahon could be secretly planning for this Sunday's Elimination Chamber.
#1 The Undertaker join hands with Aleister Black to destroy the O.C.
Although I was disappointed to see the Undertaker and A.J. Styles confront each other in such fashion at WWE Super Show Down, I'm still expecting the creative team to bring their A game for this once in a lifetime feud.
The Phenomenal One is currently scheduled to lock horns with Aleister Black this Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center. With this bout being an absolute must-win for the Dutch Destroyer, WWE could step up-a-notch and make things even more intriguing for this year's WrestleMania 36.
Like all of you, I'm also expecting the Phenom to show up this Sunday and screw the OC once again. Considering that the plans are always subject to change, WWE could use this opportunity to align the Deadman and Aleister Black, helping the latter get over.
As far as WrestleMania is concerned, a singles match between the Undertaker and A.J. Styles is absolutely happening, but by booking this moment this Sunday, WWE could help elevate Aleister Black big time. Let's hope it happens.
#2 King Ricochet turns heel and helps Seth Rollins and Murphy to win the RAW tag-team Championships
Highly acclaimed for his daredevilry between the ropes, it's saddening to see Ricochet in such a spot heading into this year's WrestleMania 36.
His latest outing in a 24/7 Championship match against the new up-and-comer Riddick Moss saw him on the losing side, which certainly opens the door for a lot of speculations.
Whilst Ricochet's recent downfall has been the talk of the town on social media platforms, nobody knows exactly what's transpiring behind the scenes.
If history is any indication, then we could see Ricochet's recent losses transform into something meaningful. You either give him the underdog treatment from here on or you turn him heel.
With Buddy Murphy's career-altering heel turn bolstering Seth Rollins' chances to lead Monday Night RAW into the future, there's a distinct possibility WWE goes out and does the same with Ricochet.
The former United States Champion may not be a main-event talent at the moment, but he certainly possesses the right credentials to work alongside the Monday Night Messiah.
Assisting Rollins and Murphy to get a victory over the Street Profits not only brings back the gold to this emerging stable, but also gives Ricochet the opportunity to head into WrestleMania as a legitimate superstar. Whether you see it coming or not, I have my money on Ricochet this Sunday.
#3 Jeff Hardy returns to the squared circle
After confirming his intentions to return to the squared circle at WWE Backstage, there's a legit possibility Jeff Hardy shows up this Sunday in Philadelphia.
With Philadelphia always remembered for its extremity (in case you forgot ECW), the Charismatic Enigma returning for a wild pop makes real sense.
Considering WrestleMania 36 is just around the corner, bringing in one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the game just in time for the event is a massive boost.
Although the card is already stacked for this year's Grandest Stage of Them All, it makes absolute sense to insert the face-painted enigma into the Intercontinental Championship picture.
I do believe WWE could be moving in for a multi-man ladder match for the IC Title and with Jeff ready to put it all on the line again, this multi-man match will be an absolute steal. If he returns this Sunday, expect him to be confronted by the likes of Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, or King Corbin.
#4 The Artistic trio win the Intercontinental Championship
What amazes me the most about professional wrestling is the fact that it can change careers real quick. Just look at Sami Zayn for a second. Zayn, in NXT, was transitioning into something really, really special.
Although his main-roster call up didn't really fare well for his career, there's a genuine possibility everything could change this Sunday. The former NXT Champion has not held a single Championship on the main roster.
With Zayn having Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro by his side this Sunday against Braun Strowman in a 3-on-1 Handicap match, I'm legitimately expecting the artistic trio to go over the current Intercontinental Champion.
Even if Strowman works real good when the odds are stacked against him, putting the belt on these three would make for an absolute fun Road to the Showcase of the Immortals. Imagine the possibilities.
Considering Friday Night SmackDown is already heating up with captivating feuds like the Fiend-John Cena and Roman Reigns-Goldberg, putting the Intercontinental Championship on these three could make things even more interesting and make the blue brand as the Miz awesomely stresses, must see!
#5 Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke reunite with Shayna Baszler
If the recent speculations regarding Vince McMahon's reaction to Shayna Baszler's in-ring debut on Monday Night RAW are indeed true, then we could be in for a real showdown this Sunday.
With the No. 1 Contenders' spot for Becky Lynch's RAW Women's Championship up for grabs this Sunday inside the barbaric chamber, I definitely believe Baszler will walk out of Philadelphia a victor.
However, if Vince McMahon isn't sure of Baszler's ascension to the top of the mountain, the company could step up their creative game and reunite the Queen of Spades with Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke.
Bringing in three of the four MMA horsewomen for this program could work well for making things even more difficult for the Man and would simultaneously make the storyline even more intriguing.
Although Becky's momentum as a face has dipped a little, Shafir and Duke's inclusion in this storyline would be perfect in placing Shayna Baszler as the next big thing on Monday Night RAW.
