Welcome back to the blog, Elimination Chamber will be LIVE from Montreal Quebec, Canada. A location that is famous in professional wrestling history. Let's take a look at the current match card and predict the winners.
Disclaimer: These predictions were written prior to SmackDown, if more matches are announced, they will be talked about in the review-ish.
Mixed Tag Team Match
Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley
This match has been on the cards for quite a while, Edge and Beth will want to get revenge on Judgement Day members Finn and Rhea from recent events. Damian Priest may not be ringside for this one as he will be competing for the United States Championship, whereas Dominik Mysterio could attempt a distraction to help his team win. Predicted Winners? Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley.
Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar
Likewise to the match above, the storyline continues, Bobby was close to winning the US Title on RAW is Thirty until Brock returned to cost him the match, this is a difficult one to call, both competitors are capable of winning, we could see the reunion of the Hurt Business here with the inclusion of Omos. Predicted Winner? Bobby Lashley.
We will now go through a process of elimination, excuse the pun, and talk about each participant in order to decide the winner of the two respective Chamber matches.
United States Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Austin Theory (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Bronson Reed vs. Damian Priest vs. Montez Ford
Seth was eliminated by Logan Paul at the Royal Rumble, they look set to face each other at WrestleMania so that rules him out here. the thought is Gargano eliminates Priest or vice versa, leading towards a one on one match on the next episode of RAW, standard logical booking for you.
I've been watching Bronson Reed since his NXT days, it is great to see him in the company once again, hoping to see him put on a monster performance so people take note of how good he is. There has been a lot of talk from fans about Montez being a singles competitor, Tez and Theory may be the final two left in the Chamber. Predicted Winner? and STILL United States Champion. Austin Theory.
Elimination Chamber Match for a RAW Women's Championship Opportunity at WrestleMania
Asuka vs. Liv Morgan vs. Nikki Cross vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Natalya vs. Carmella
In terms of who starts off the match? the choices are Raquel and Carmella, both will make it far and get taken out by the eventual winner, Nikki is going to cause chaos, Natalya is in her home country, expect the fans to cheer her on, with her eliminating one or two participants along the way, Liv made it to the final two of the Women's Rumble, that may be the situation here also. Predicted Winner? Asuka.
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sami Zayn
The Royal Rumble was mentioned a lot during these predictions and rightfully so, The Bloodline & Sami Zayn story reached new levels, it feels like the fire has since cooled after we saw Cody speaking to Paul Heyman on Monday Night RAW, while it was a great segment, it would've made more sense to wait till after this Saturday's event.
Sami will bring the fight to Roman, ultimately falling to The Tribal Chief, after Solo Sikoa, Jimmy and Jey Uso play an important role in that, with Jey turning against Sami, Kevin Owens will attempt to help Sami during the match, his efforts will not be enough, drama in wrestling is what we all love to see. Predicted Winner? and STILL Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Roman Reigns.
***Announcement***
After much thought and consideration, there will not be any WrestleMania content this year, it is important to have a break and enjoy watching both nights of The Grandest Stage of Them All. There will be content in the run up to April and after, stay tuned for that.
The Elimination Chamber review-ish will be available on Sunday.
