WWE's decision to have an Elimination Chamber match to earn the opportunity to face Roman Reigns later that same night can easily be termed a stroke of genius.

Not only does it portray Roman Reigns as a despicable heel, probably the biggest in the company, but it would also generate a lot of sympathy for whoever wins this Elimination Chamber match.

The chances King Corbin, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso are next to nil, given Reigns' position as a heel Champion. Among the babyfaces, each of Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, and Cesaro would be credible opponents to Reigns at Elimination Chamber.

We have already witnessed Owens and Reigns tear the house down thrice in the recent past. A rivalry between Bryan and The Tribal Chief is too big a program to be wasted on a show like Elimination Chamber. Considering these two factors, Cesaro would be the perfect opponent for the Universal Champion this Sunday.

However, that also seems highly unlikely now that the Swiss Cyborg is involved in a feud with Seth Rollins. Owens and Reigns still have some unfinished business, so expect The Prizefighter to get a hard-fought win in the Elimination Chamber match.

Prediction: Kevin Owens last eliminates Daniel Bryan to become #1 Contender.
