Samoa Joe

Building up to the Elimination Chamber, there is no doubt that Samoa Joe has been the most lethal participant on the mic. The Samoan Submission Machine has roasted all five of his opponents in two minutes - especially Jeff Hardy. Joe has the magic to make any feud serious - a skill only a few wrestlers possess.
However, this is exactly the cycle Joe has been going through on the WWE main roster. Joe owns his opponents on the mic and brawls. However, during the match, WWE does not go all the way with Joe and makes him eat the L.
Thus we should not be surprised if Joe fails to capture the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber - although he is long overdue for such an opportunity. The fact that WWE does not prefer a heel to heel title change also does not help his case. But we could expect him to be in the final three.
Predicted finish: 3
