5 Potential challengers for Roman Reigns' WWE Universal Championship inside the Elimination Chamber

#2. Cesaro could be the dark horse inside WWE SmackDown's Elimination Chamber

Cesaro has been getting a push on WWE SmackDown, and the former tag team champion was able to decisively defeat Daniel Bryan. It seems like Cesaro is becoming a breakout star on the blue brand.

Cesaro and his fans have been looking for a way for the Swiss Superman to be pushed in the same way that Sheamus has been on Monday Night RAW. The WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view could finally be his chance.

Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura might be going their separate ways, so the Swiss Superman could enter the world championship picture heading into WrestleMania.

It's hard to argue that the former champion isn't a veteran who deserves the chance to shine in WWE. A shot at the Universal Championship this close to WrestleMania would definitely help Cesaro gain some prominence ahead of the event.

Bray Wyatt was the shock winner inside the Elimination Chamber in 2017. Likewise, there could be a shock winner inside the steel structure once again if Cesaro's recent WWE push continues.
