Saudi Arabia will host its first-ever WWE Elimination Chamber on February 19, 2022. The company has booked some massive matches for the show to ensure fans have something to look forward to.
Lita will return to the ring to face Becky Lynch for the RAW Women’s title at the show. WWE will also look to crown the next challenger to the title in a six-woman Elimination Chamber Match.
Goldberg and Roman Reigns will collide for the first time on Saturday night. Meanwhile, Bobby Lashley will face five top superstars to defend his WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber.
The Miz and Rey Mysterio are also booked to compete in a grudge match at the premium live event. That’s not all, as Drew McIntyre will look to kick Madcap Moss’s head off at the show.
The night’s card is packed with quality bookings. With that in mind, take a look at the five things that must happen at WWE Elimination Chamber.
#5. The Viking Raiders become the new tag team champions at WWE Elimination Chamber
At WWE Elimination Chamber, The Viking Raiders will try to get to the top of the SmackDown tag team division. Erik & Ivar will challenge The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at the show.
The Usos won the titles at Money in the Bank 2021. Jimmy & Jey have held the championship for over 200 days and will look to extend their reign.
The Viking Raiders have never won the SmackDown tag team titles. The duo previously held the RAW titles. Erik and Ivar lost their steam after moving to SmackDown but will look to get back on a dominant run with a win on Saturday.
With that in mind, WWE must allow The Viking Raiders to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Elimination Chamber. The Usos have held the title for a long time, but their reign has been shadowed by Roman Reigns.
Putting the titles on another team will give the creative team a chance to build new rivalries. It'll also form some cracks in The Bloodline and make things difficult for The Head of the Table.
The company could look to have at least one championship change hands in Saudi Arabia. It could force the creative team to make the tag team titles change hands.
#4. Ronda Rousey must pin Charlotte Flair at WWE Elimination Chamber
After returning at the Royal Rumble, Ronda Rousey will feature in a massive tag team match at WWE Elimination Chamber. Rousey will team up with Naomi to take on Charlotte Flair & Sonya Deville.
Rousey won the Women’s Royal Rumble and wasted little time in challenging Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania. Meanwhile, Naomi and Deville have been in a rivalry for months.
Rousey saved Naomi from a beatdown from Flair & Deville last week. It looks like she's ready to teach the heels a lesson in Saudi Arabia.
At Elimination Chamber, WWE must allow Rousey enough in-ring time to show she’s ready for big matches. She must go on to deliver the final blow to Flair and pin her to win the contest.
Although Naomi and Deville have had a long-running rivalry, the spotlight must remain on Rousey and Flair in the contest. It'll allow the two to build towards their championship match at WrestleMania.
#3. Becky Lynch must continue her dominant run at WWE Elimination Chamber
Lita and Becky Lynch will collide for the first time at WWE Elimination Chamber. Lita returned at the Royal Rumble and competed in the women’s over-the-top-rope elimination match.
Instead of fading away again, she decided to stick back and take a shot at the RAW Women’s Championship. Becky showed Lita respect at first but showed her heelish nature soon after.
Lita vs. Becky Lynch will be electric. Fans can hope to see them get enough time to perform in the ring on Saturday. While Lita could get another run at the top in WWE before retiring again, Lynch must be allowed to win the match.
The Man has been extremely good as the RAW Women’s Champion, and WWE must look to keep the title on her. It'll allow the creative team to book another top match for her at WrestleMania.
Meanwhile, the Hall of Famer could have a few more matches against some top RAW stars before heading back into retirement.
#2. Bobby Lashley must retain the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber
Bobby Lashley will defend his title against five top RAW stars at WWE Elimination Chamber. AJ Styles, Austin Theory, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, and Riddle will enter the steel chamber with The All-Mighty on Saturday.
Lashley’s first WWE Championship run was dominant. He had a good run before losing the title, and the company could look to give him another memorable reign.
Styles, Rollins, and Lesnar stand a good chance of winning the WWE title in Saudi Arabia. However, WWE must look to keep the championship on Lashley at Elimination Chamber and give him a good win.
The All-Mighty has been one of RAW’s top performers. He defeated Lesnar in their first-ever match at Royal Rumble, and it'd be great to see Lashley pick up another major win.
The creative team could also look to build Lashley’s next championship rivalry inside the chamber. He should be allowed to walk into WrestleMania as the reigning champion following a remarkable year.
#1. Roman Reigns must run through Goldberg at WWE Elimination Chamber
WWE Elimination Chamber will host a dream match between Roman Reigns and Goldberg for the Universal Championship. The rivalry between the men is not new. However, it'll be the first time the two compete in the ring.
Goldberg has returned to WWE for one-off matches a few times now. This time, he has promised to stick around for longer if he wins the title.
Meanwhile, Reigns has held the Universal Championship for a record-setting run. He has been unbeatable. Even the biggest names in the industry have found it difficult to put The Tribal Chief on the backfoot.
It will be Reigns' first title defense with Paul Heyman back on his side. He has performed well with his special counsel nearby, and Heyman could play a major role on Saturday.
At Elimination Chamber, WWE must allow Reigns to defeat Goldberg following a distraction from Paul Heyman. The Tribal Chief has done well as the face of the company. Taking the title off him after such a short feud wouldn’t make much sense.
Brock Lesnar has already challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. The Head of the Table must retain the title to have his big match against The Beast Incarnate at The Show of Shows.
