The last PPV before Wrestlemania, Elimination Chamber. A lot of questions going into this PPV, like will we get an appearance from either Triple H or Undertaker, who will Sheamus face at Wrestlemania for his title shot, and will either World Champion survive? Let's break it down.
Tamina Snuka VS Beth Phoenix could be a really good Divas match. Tamina is getting her shot at the wrong time though. With the return of Kharma at the Royal Rumble, Phoenix/Kharma is all but confirmed, which can't happen if Tamina beats Phoenix. Phoenix retains to set up the biggest Divas match since Phoenix/James/Natalya.
Smackdown's Chamber will be the first of the two. Why? Because the competitors are a freaking joke. The Great Khali AND Santino Marella? REALLY? Is Christian that injured? They can't just let Orton come out last? What about surprises like Del Rio? Could he pull an Edge ala NWO 2009? Anyway, the other 4 are pretty good for this match and it's down to those 4 guys to walk out as World Champion. Take Big Show out because of the rumors of him having a match with Shaq at Mania and you're down to Bryan, Rhodes, and Barrett. The young guns. One of these guys will likely go on to defend the title against Sheamus at Wrestlemania. If Bryan retains, it would a rematch from last year's Mania. They had a dark match together last year and how ironic would it be for them to have a World Title match at the Mania the year after. Sheamus/Bryan would be a great match. If Rhodes were to win, he would make history being the World Champion and IC Champion at the same time. Rhodes/Sheamus has potential to be a great match, but I don't think Rhodes walking into Wrestlemania as World Champion is possible this year. Maybe for Wrestlemania XXIX? If Barrett won, I'm sure Bryan would be furious and try to get his rematch, which would set up a triple threat between Bryan/Barrett/Sheamus which is the match I've predicted. Barrett/Sheamus one-on-one wouldn't have the in ring technical skill of a Bryan/Sheamus but it could still be a very good big man match-up. Barrett has the best chance this Sunday to walk out as World Champion thanks to Orton getting injured. I'm going with Wade Barrett to FINALLY win a World Championship at the Elimination Chamber and who knows? Maybe we'll get either a Triple Threat or a Fatal Four Way with Orton involved? When's the last time they did a Fatal Four Way for a World Title at Mania? 2000?
Cena is going to absolutely DESTROY Kane this Sunday. He has to. John Cena is 6 weeks away from the biggest match of his career and if he doesn't beat Kane, he doesn't stand a chance against The Rock at Wrestlemania XXVIII. To be honest, I can see this being a total squash match to make Cena look as good as possible heading into the biggest event of his life. There is no discussion, Cena will defeat Kane this Sunday.
Raw's Chamber match is different this year. None of this guys look like they could be WWE Champion. They're all barely over the 240 pound range. Times sure have changed huh? Let's get real, the only two options in this match are CM Punk and Chris Jericho. The other 4 will probably be involved in the MITB match at Wrestlemania. So, does WWE take the title off of Punk and give it to Jericho? It's much better to see the face chase the heel for the title and it's especially good for Wrestlemania. Punk has just hit the 90 day mark for his reign. I would like to see him hold onto the title for a little longer, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jericho won. It hurts for me to type this but I'm going with Chris Jericho to walk out of the Elimination Chamber with the WWE Championship. Sorry Punk, you had a good reign, you'll win it again.
So there you go! After this PPV, all the stars will be aligned for the show of shows on April 1st. Can't wait to see how the Road to Wrestlemania paves out! Let's go Barrett and Jericho!
