Tonight, we continue on the road to WrestleMania 35 with the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. The show will kickoff at 6 PM ET with the preshow and the main card will begin at 7 PM ET. Here are all the matches set, predicted winners (in bold) and some “rumors” for tonight.
WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Daniel Bryan (c) faces AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton and Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship
Women’s Elimination Chamber Match for the first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships
Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. The Iconics vs. Nia Jax & Tamina Vs. Carmella & Naomi vs. Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan vs. Sonya Deville & Mandy Rose
Raw Women’s Championship Match
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott
It’s true, people have not really considered the possibility that Ronda will drop the belt to Ruby and we might have a new champion. But with this match set, it could happen. I do agree though, for Ronda to drop the belt and then get it back one month later leading into WrestleMania seems unlikely.
Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match
The Miz & Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Usos
Intercontinental Championship Handicap Match
Bobby Lashley (c) & Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor
No Disqualification Match
Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa
Rumors
You all know that I hate rumors, so these are less rumors and more thoughts and predictions. The largest story going into Elimination Chamber is Becky, Charlotte, and Ronda.
With Becky out of the WrestleMania picture as of this week, it is still unclear how she might find herself back in the match. Charlotte will be sitting ring-side for Ronda’s match against Ruby, so we could have some interference there from her. Again, I don’t think Ronda will be dropping the belt. And Becky is suspended for the next 54 days. But I do predict that Becky will show up tonight at the event, probably insert herself in the match, and cause a disqualification. I mean, with the suspension and being out of WrestleMania anyway, what does she have to lose?
Vince could tack on more to her suspension, keeping her far away from the title. But isn’t that exactly what we want? I mean, who wants Becky to have the belt without fighting from behind to some extent? If “the authority” keeps her down, she’ll just keep fighting back. The question here is, will Ruby be completely lost in this shuffle?
And finally, where is Asuka and when will she get a piece of the action? We’ll see how it all pans out tonight only on the WWE Network.
