Elimination Chamber, the final stop for WWE before WrestleMania 36, takes place this Sunday, March 8. The show will see feuds being set-up for WrestleMania, as well as filler feuds to help push a Superstar ahead of The Show of Shows.

A few title matches have been confirmed for the show, which includes the Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship, RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

There may also be a few Superstars who could return at the show, to possibly begin a new feud, or help a Superstar out at the PPV.

Let's take a look at 5 Superstars who could return at WWE Elimination Chamber 2020:


#5 Big Show

The Big Show made a surprise return to WWE in January earlier this year, joining forces with Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe, who were feuding with Seth Rollins, Murphy, and AOP. Show wrestled in two six-man tag team matches, but hasn't been seen since.

The Street Profits, who recently won the RAW Tag Team titles, will defend their titles at Elimination Chamber, against Seth Rollins and Murphy. It's quite obvious that the heels will help from AOP, and Big Show may come to the aid of The Street Profits to make it a level playing field.

The veteran Superstar and Kevin Owens could side with The Street Profits in their quest to retain the RAW Tag Team titles. Owens helped the current RAW Tag Team titles this past week on RAW, and he could do so once again this Sunday as he is not booked for the show.

Owens and Samoa Joe had earlier been in a feud with Rollins and Murphy, but with Joe's wellness policy violation, which will keep him suspended for a while, Big Show could take his place in this feud.


#4 The Undertaker

The Undertaker also made a return recently at Super ShowDown, where he rescued Rey Mysterio, who was getting a beatdown from The OC backstage. AJ Styles was set to win the Gauntlet match at the PPV, before The Undertaker arrived at the ring and won the match.

This feud between The Undertaker and Styles has resulted in a match between the two at WrestleMania 36, which will be officially confirmed soon. Styles is currently feuding with Aleister Black, whom he defeated this past week on RAW, where he also sent out a subtle message to The Phenom, copying The Undertaker's mannerisms.

Styles and Black are set to face off once again at Elimination Chamber in a no disqualification match. It's quite clear that The OC duo of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will take advantage of the no disqualification rules and interfere.

And we could see The Undertaker arrive to help Black and even the numbers. It would be quite a sight to see The Undertaker and Aleister Black in the same ring as well, as they are two Superstars with somewhat similar gimmicks.


#3 Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy was a guest on FOX's Backstage show this past week where he revealed that he has been cleared to wrestle by WWE officials, and he is waiting for WWE's creative team to give him something meaty to work with.

Hardy revealed that the last year has been a crazy one for him, with his injury, his father's illness, as well as his personal run-ins with the law. But, he said that he's getting better and sounded positive.

We could very well see the SmackDown Superstar return at Elimination Chamber after being out for almost a year, having last appeared 11 months ago, possibly to set-up a match for WrestleMania 36. While there may not be enough time to have an elongated feud, a past rivalry could be restarted, or a dream match set-up.

He could maybe come to the aid of Braun Strowman, who is in a handicap match against Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn, which could maybe lead to a match with either one of those three heels.

Hardy could also perhaps set-up a dream match with someone like Daniel Bryan or put over a young star like Mustafa Ali.


#2 Rusev

Rusev hasn't been on WWE television for a while, with his last match taking place three weeks ago on RAW. Reports have suggested that The Bulgarian Brute is yet to sign a new contract with the promotion and is negotiating a new deal.

But, PWInsider reported this past week that Rusev was backstage on RAW this past week, but wasn't used for the show. Rusev's controversial storyline with Bobby Lashley and Lana ended abruptly, and it seems unlikely that WWE will revisit it anytime soon.

The former United States champion could have another readymade storyline that he could enter into, at this week's Elimination Chamber PPV. Rusev could perhaps begin a feud with Angel Garza, who has been pushed by WWE over the last few weeks.

Rusev's last match in WWE had him team with Humberto Carrillo to take on Garza and Lashley. With Carrillo facing Andrade for the United States title at Elimination Chamber, Garza may interfere to help Andrade, which is where Rusev could come to the aid of Carrillo. This could set-up a feud with Garza, which could go on for the next few weeks.


#1 Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali was one of the many young Superstars that were being pushed by WWE in recent times, but the former 205 Live star has not featured over the last few weeks on WWE television.

Ali has wrestled in dark matches on SmackDown, but has not been on television, which is a pity, as he is someone that fans seem to like. He has been having dark matches with Apollo Crews and Drew Gulak over the last few weeks.

But, perhaps we could see him begin a new feud at the show, where he calls out and challenges someone backstage, maybe someone like Jeff Hardy or Daniel Bryan. He needs to get back in the reckoning and bring back the momentum that he had a few months ago, ahead of WrestleMania 36.

He was robbed of a potential WrestleMania moment last year due to injury, and that could possibly be the genesis of his new storyline, and he may very well have his WrestleMania match with Daniel Bryan. That's a storyline that could be put together quickly and would make sense.
