6 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW before Elimination Chamber: Former Champion not getting pushed this year, 3-time World Champion set to make a big return this Sunday? (February 15th, 2021)

#1 Sheamus reigns supreme on RAW ahead of the Elimination Chamber

Sheamus won the Gauntlet Match

Drew McIntyre was the one who spent the longest in the Gauntlet Match on RAW. Entering after Kofi Kingston was eliminated, the Scottish Warrior ran through AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, but fell short to the final entrant - Sheamus.

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have been teasing a feud for a while, and after the Scotsman was worn down in the RAW Gauntlet Match match, Sheamus attacked him from behind and had to take a little longer than expected to put away the WWE Champion.

That's exactly what happened on RAW, and Sheamus hit the Brogue Kick to secure his spot as the final entrant into the Elimination Chamber match this Sunday.

Sheamus is gunning for his fifth World Championship, and it was pointed out on RAW that it has been well over five years since his last WWE title reign. Sheamus is itching to get back on top, and this is the best version of him we've seen in years - even better than his last reign as WWE Champion.

Will Sheamus be able to displace Drew McIntyre at Elimination Chamber the same way he did on RAW? We doubt it, but it should spin off into an interesting match.
