The last major stop on the road to WrestleMania is merely hours away from us as Elimination Chamber 2020 is all set to take place on March 8 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With it taking place less than a month before the Show of Shows, the PPV is sure to have some major impact on WrestleMania 36.
As of this writing, a total of seven matches are scheduled for the show, with two of them taking place inside the deadly Elimination Chamber. While one of them is to determine the #1 contender for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36, the other one will see the SmackDown Tag Team Champions defend their titles against five other teams.
Even though the card lacks many major names like Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, etc, the company will back themselves to deliver a solid show to set things in place for the Grandest Stage of them All. With that being said, I present to you my five bold predictions for WWE Elimination Chamber 2020.
Be sure to comment down and let me know your thoughts, opinions, and predictions!
#5 Angel Garza attacks Andrade after his match
The United States Champion, Andrade recently made his return to WWE after serving a temporary suspension and finds himself defending his title against Humberto Carillo at the PPV. I believe Andrade will once again retain his title against Carillo, probably with some cheap tactics.
After the match, Angel Garza can come down to the ring to celebrate Andrade's victory with him, only to attack him seconds later. Garza is now the second client of Zelina Vega, who also manages Andrade and it will be interesting to see how she manages the tension between her two clients. This could set up an Andrade vs Angel Garza match for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 36.
Even better, WWE can include Carillo, Rey Mysterio in the mix as well and make it a fatal-four-way at the Show of Shows, which is sure to set the stage on fire!
#4 The Undertaker interferes in the Styles-Black match
One of the biggest matches looking to be in plans for WrestleMania 36 is the clash between The Undertaker and AJ Styles. With the Phenom returning to defeat Styles to win the Tuwaiq trophy at WWE Super Showdown, the two will surely start their feud soon and Elimination Chamber looks to be the perfect stage for that!
The Phenomenal One is set to take on Aleister Black at the PPV in a No Disqualification match and we all know how such matches usually end. While I would love to see these two extremely talented Superstars go at it in a proper match, but with the current dynamics of Styles' character, the chances of him playing fair are extremely low.
The OC might try and get involved in the proceeding, and with there being no rules, the numbers game will be too much for Black to handle. This makes for a perfect situation for the legendary Gong to hit the arena and the Dead Man to make the save, setting up his match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36.
With the involvement of the Undertaker, the Road to WrestleMania is sure to become more thrilling.
#3 Kevin Owens costs Rollins his match
Talking about the lack of some major names booked for Elimination Chamber 2020, one such Superstar is Kevin Owens. The Prizefighter is arguably the second biggest babyface on the RAW roster after Drew McIntyre and if not for the Scottish Psychopath, maybe we could have seen him step up and challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36.
Nonetheless, Owens and Samoa Joe have been in a feud with Seth Rollins and his disciples for quite some time now but with Joe facing a 30-day suspension, it has to be seen what the company intends to do with Owens at the Grandest Stage of them All.
The Monday Night Messiah is set to challenge the Street Profits for their RAW Tag Team titles alongside Murphy. The chances of the duo winning the titles look slim and the best way to go ahead would be to have Kevin Owens cost Rollins his match.
This could set up a clash between the two former Universal Champions at WrestleMania 36. Maybe we get a multi-man tag match with Owens assembling an army of his own to go against Rollins and his disciples.
#2 The Miz and John Morrison retain their titles
The first of the two Elimination Chamber matches of the night will see The Miz and John Morrison (Hey hey, ho ho) defend their SmackDown Tag Team Championships against the New Day, The Usos, Heavy Machinery, Lucha House Party, and Ziggler-Roode.
The match has all the ingredients to become the match of the night as we are sure to witness a high action, high drama contest when all these competitors step inside the deadly structure of the Elimination Chamber. On the SmackDown before the PPV, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode won the gauntlet match for the right to enter the match last.
Entering the match last surely makes them one of the favorites to win the match but with Ziggler heavily (No Pun intended) involved in the storyline with Mandy Rose and Otis, it's tough to see either them or the Heavy Machinery win the titles at the PPV.
As for my prediction, I'll say Miz and Morrison retain their title and go on to WrestleMania 36 as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions. It's too soon for them to lose the titles now. A triple threat between them, New Day and The Usos might be a great match for the Show of Shows.
#1 Shayna Baszler enters first and eliminates all the other women to win the match
The second Elimination Chamber match of the night, and probably the main event, will take place to determine the challenger for Becky Lynch's RAW Women's title at WrestleMania 36. The match will see Natalya, Shayna Baszler, Asuka, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, and Sarah Logan enter the chamber to book themselves a title shot against The Man at the Grandest Stage of them All.
While this might be one of the most predictable matches of the night as all signs are pointing towards Shayna Baszler winning the match and setting up a match with Lynch at 'Mania. But I genuinely believe she needs to do so in a dominating fashion. And hence for my last Bold Prediction for the show, I'll say the Queen of Spades enters the match at the first position and goes on to eliminate all the other Superstars from the match, creating a record for the most eliminations as well.
Such a dominating performance will portray her as a massive threat to Becky's title, making the rivalry even more compelling. So that concludes my Bold Prediction article!
