5 Reasons why so many top RAW & SmackDown stars are missing from WWE Elimination Chamber 2020

#1 To not make the outcomes far too predictable

One of the things that we know already is that there is no way that WWE will allow the men and women in the marquee WrestleMania 36 matches to look weak before the show. Imagine Drew McIntyre losing a big match before the event.

It would take away all of the steam he has, and to put him on the card would essentially mean giving away the result before the match happens. There is no way that Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, or even someone like Becky Lynch would lose a match so close to WrestleMania 36.

A lot of times, WWE gets accused of being far too predictable and to have booked the stars in this manner would have justified all the criticism that gets thrown WWE's way by fans. So, yes, WWE is doing the right thing by not having the big stars on the show.
