WHERE CHATTERS GO TO TALK ABOUT OFF TOPIC STUFF!
That's right...not Sunday, but this Saturday afternoon...And What does Elimination Chamber mean? It means that when it comes to the "Road to Wrestlemania", you are DAMN RIGHT we are on the right road...
Anyway, on to the preview: First, let me say, I normally love the Elimination Chamber PPV, almost as much as the Rumble...but this year, it's clear that this PPV is basically being used as a place-holder for Wrestlemania, with matches where the outcomes are mostly really easy to predict. I don't expect many surprises...except for ONE possibility... Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz There isn't really much at stake here. As such, this might be the time the WWE pulls the trigger on Dominick Mysterio's heel turn, setting up a father vs. son match at Wrestlemania. Prediction: Dominick turns on Rey, and helps the Miz win. Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss (again?) This is the 2nd PPV in a row for this match, and it's going to have the exact same result. Take a leak or get a snack or something during this match. You won't miss much. Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins in a squash. Smackdown Tag Team Championship The Usos (c) vs. The Viking Raiders The WWE has done NOTHING to make me believe that the Usos will drop the belts to these guys, because they haven't done anything to make people care at all about the Viking Raiders. Prediction: Usos retain. Ronda Rousey & Naomi vs. Charlotte Flair & Sonya DeVille This match basically serves as a warmup for Rousey, just to help her get back into actual match-worthy ring shape. This could go either way, but the actual outcome doesn't really matter, as no matter who wins, the end result will be the same: Set up Rousey/Flair and Naomi/DeVille for Wrestlemania matches. Prediction: Coin flip says Charlotte/Sonya DeVille. Women's Elimination Chamber Match Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Nikki ASH vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Bianca Belair vs. Doudrop Let me put this match this way: It's Rhea Ripley vs. the field. And when the WWE presents matches like that, it's almost always a bad idea to take the field. Prediction: Rhea Ripley wins. Raw Women's Championship Becky Lynch (c) vs Lita Why is this match even happening? Lita isn't back full time, no way they put the belt on her. This match is happening just to give Becky something to do. Prediction: Becky Lynch Universal (Smackdown) Heavyweight Championship Roman Reigns (c) vs. Goldberg On the surface, this seems like a gimme match for Reigns...just like with Lita, Goldberg isn't gonna be around long term...but then again, the last time Goldberg had a title match on PPV, he emerged victorious...This would change the Wrestlemania match to Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg instead of Lesnar vs. Reigns...which, I can actually see the WWE doing, giving us a potential additional match of Reigns vs. Seth Rollins in a non-title capacity... Prediction: Roman Reigns...but I am not as confident about this result as I am a few others... Mens Elimination Chamber Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton vs. Matt Riddle vs. Austin Theory vs. AJ Styles I would LOVE to think this is open ended...but, the WWE has almost flat out told us that the match between Lesnar and Reigns at Wrestlemania would be champion vs. champion. That means there can only really be one outcome here...That doesn't mean there can't be a surprise though...It is entirely possible, that one of the contenders, most likely Riddle or Austin Theory, could be replaced in the match in exchange for the return of...Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes had been working for AEW without any contract since December, doesn't have a no-compete clause, meaning he can be used immediately, and is WIDELY expected to have resigned with the WWE...Cody in the Elimination Chamber match would get people talking, could set up a Wrestlemania match for him, even if he doesn't walk out with the title..because even if he ends up a surprise entrant, he isn't winning the WWE title this Saturday. Prediction: Brock Lesnar.
