#4. Hope isn't true: A possible change in the Elimination Chamber line-up?

The main event of Elimination Chamber 2020 will see six top SmackDown stars go at it to determine Bray Wyatt's Universal title opponent at WrestleMania 36. The venue Wells Fargo Center put out an advertisement revealing Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke Nakamura, King Corbin, and Robert Roode as the men that will lock horns for a ticket to WrestleMania.

Dave Meltzer told Bryan Alvarez Wrestling Observer Radio that the lineup was announced to sell tickets and that it's not set in stone:

It was a lineup sent to sell tickets but they hadn't decided on, I mean, they are going to have an Elimination Chamber, the winner, who is likely to be Roman Reigns, will face Bray Wyatt for the Championship at WrestleMania but who the six people are, they just threw six people there. It's like it maybe those six, there may be other guys other than Roman Reigns is an obvious choice.

He added that Robert Roode could very well be removed as well:

Don't take those six guys as locked in stone or anything like that because it was not locked in stone when they sent that lineup.

We hope this isn't true because the lineup is great in itself, though we wish all six competitors weren't announced. This is probably the best line-up they can go for the Chamber main event.
