WWE Elimination Chamber is just a few nights away, and the company is looking forward to delivering a good pay-per-view after Royal Rumble. Elimination Chamber will likely determine who will head to WrestleMania with the top titles around their waist. The pay-per-view will also possibly tease who their challengers will be.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will take on five RAW Superstars inside the Elimination Chamber to defend his title. Roman Reigns, on the other hand, will have a much simpler task at Elimination Chamber.
Six SmackDown Superstars will compete inside the Elimination Chamber to earn a shot at Reigns’ Universal Championship later in the pay-per-view. The Tribal Chief will take on the winner of the Chamber match in the same night.
The Hurt Business’s Bobby Lashley will also feature on the event and will defend his United States Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Keith Lee and Riddle. The RAW Women’s Championship match between Asuka and Lacey Evans hangs in the balance after Evans made a major announcement on WWE RAW.
WWE could book some more matches for the pay-per-view to make it much more exciting. Let’s take a look at the five things that must happen at WWE Elimination Chamber.
#5 Big E must issue an open challenge at WWE Elimination Chamber
Big E has been one of the top Superstars on WWE SmackDown so fans can expect him to have a match at Elimination Chamber. While WWE has not booked a match for the former member of the New Day yet, they could do something different for the show.
At Elimination Chamber, WWE must allow Big E to come out to the middle of the ring and issue another open challenge to the entire WWE locker room. Apollo Crews must then answer the challenge once again, only to get on Big E’s nerves.
Both men have been in a rivalry for some time, and Big E has already refused Crews another shot at the title following his failures. However, Crews attacked Big E during his match last week against Shinsuke Nakamura.
A match between the two men must take place on the show to give both Superstars a boost. It will also allow SmackDown to have another big match at Elimination Chamber as only the Universal Championship from the brand is set to be defended during the night.
WWE could allow Big E to defeat Crews once again and end their rivalry at Elimination Chamber. Crews could benefit from a pay-per-view match, which will also allow him to further build his heel character.
#4 Keith Lee or Riddle must take the pin or submit during the United States Championship match at WWE Elimination Chamber
Keith Lee and Riddle will challenge United States Champion Bobby Lashley in a Triple Threat Match at WWE Elimination Chamber. While Lee had defeated Riddle to earn a shot at the United States Championship, WWE ended up adding Riddle to the match at Elimination Chamber too.
While all three men in the match have quite a following, WWE must protect Lashley from taking the pin during the match. Lashley is one of the company's top men who could be in contention for the WWE Championship following his United States title run.
With that in mind, WWE must make Lee or Riddle take the fall or submit during the match at Elimination Chamber no matter who wins the title. Riddle has taken a few pins and submitted on RAW a few times and he would be a good option to take the fall once again.
The All Mighty must come out of the match with a clean record so that he can get into another top rivalry without losing any value.
#3 WWE must allow a RAW Superstar to interfere during the Elimination Chamber match
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will have a tall task ahead of himself at Elimination Chamber. The Scottish Warrior will defend his title against five top RAW Superstars inside the Elimination Chamber.
Sheamus will enter the match last after he managed to win the Gauntlet Match on RAW. Apart from Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton will also enter the Elimination Chamber.
While the steel structure will be tightly locked up, WWE must allow a RAW Superstar to interfere during the match. A Superstar such as Mustafa Ali, ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt, or The Miz must be allowed to break into the Elimination Chamber and possibly target a Superstar.
Ali could go after Kofi, while Wyatt could take out Orton from the match. On the other hand, The Miz could enter the match towards the end by cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
Allowing a Superstar to interfere in the match will allow WWE to build towards some other rivalries that could pick up pace ahead of WrestleMania 37.
#2 Cesaro must have a star-making performance at WWE Elimination Chamber
At the 2019 WWE Elimination Chamber, Kofi Kingston had a star-making performance. After the WWE Universe backed the veteran to go all the way in the match, fans saw him fall just short of a victory over Daniel Bryan. However, the performance helped him go all the way to WrestleMania and win his first WWE Championship.
During the 2020 WWE Elimination Chamber, Shayna Baszler dominated the Chamber match. Baszler ran through her opponents and eliminated every single woman in the match to come out as the most dominant female Superstar of RAW. The Queen of Spades then failed to win the RAW Women’s Championship at WrestleMania.
This year, WWE must allow Cesaro from SmackDown to have a star-making performance. Cesaro has been around for years but hasn’t quite gotten the chances the WWE Universe believes he deserves. The Swiss Cyborg is among the top wrestlers in the world, and WWE must allow him to have a Kofi-esque time in the Elimination Chamber.
Even if Cesaro is not booked to win the Chamber match, WWE must give him a chance to deliver a memorable performance that can help him build towards a future World Championship opportunity.
#1 Roman Reigns must squash his WWE Elimination Chamber opponent within minutes
Along with Cesaro, fans will watch Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, King Corbin, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn enter the WWE Elimination Chamber. The winner of the match will earn a shot at the Universal Championship held by Roman Reigns later on the show.
Reigns has proven to be the top heel in WWE, and he will do everything in his power to retain his title at Elimination Chamber. Since Reigns is a villain, WWE will likely allow a babyface to progress to the Universal Championship match. On the other hand, a Superstar such as Zayn could also be presented a chance to turn babyface in the match.
Whoever progresses to the match against Reigns must be squashed by the Universal Champion in a matter of minutes. WWE must allow Reigns or Jey to attack the winner of the Elimination Chamber match right away and further weaken him before the Championship match begins, and Reigns wins it with just a couple of moves.
The angle will allow The Tribal Chief to further grow as a top heel and possibly offer a Superstar such as Cesaro, KO, or Kofi to come across as a bigger babyface. This could turn out to be a star-making match at Elimination Chamber.
