Elimination Chamber is one of the most popular gimmick-based PPVs of WWE. But With Super Showdown just being over and Wrestlemania happening within a few weeks, hypes are relatively low around the show, this year. This is also the first time that no men’s singles division Chamber won’t be there on the PPV night that is expected to be a filler one.

No prime titles won’t be on the line from either Raw or Smackdown. But the tag team titles, as well as the mid-card belts, will be hanging on the balance. Two Elimination Chamber matches will be there for the tag team titles and to determine the number one contenders for the Raw women’s championships. Also, a No Disqualification match will go down from the show that takes place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Check out the match card alongside potential predictions,
RAW Tag Team Titles Match
Murphy and Seth Rollins vs. The Street Profits (c)
The tag team titles changed hands only this past Monday Night, courtesy of Kevin Owens. We should not expect another title change abruptly at Elimination Chamber that could hurt the momentums of the youngsters, The Street Profits. Rollins and Co. will try with all their mean streaks to win back the gold but once again, Owens should play the role of the neutralizer. This, in turn, would set up a Wrestlemania 36 bout between Owens and Rollins.
Big Updates On Stone Cold Steve Austin And Edge’s WWE Raw Return
WWE United States Title Match
Humberto Carrillo vs. Andrade (c)
There’s an apparent heat going on around the current United States Champion, Andrade if the recent reports are any indications. Back to back losses following his TV return might have indicated the same. Based on this, we should not be surprised if WWE hands the United States Title at Elimination Chamber to Carrillo. WWE wants him to be the successor of Rey Mysterio and so to become a top babyface for the Mexican fanbase. This might be the right time for him to pick up a belt and prove his potential on the title picture.

3-on-1 Handicap Match for the WWE Intercontinental Title
Cesaro, Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Braun Strowman (c)
Odds are highly stacked against the reigning champion at Elimination Chamber. But WWE won’t ruin the strong status of Braun Strowman ahead of Wrestlemania 36. He is rumored to have a huge IC title match against the likes of Sheamus or Daniel Bryan. In order to get such a bigger match at the ‘show of shows’, the Monster among Men should have to topple down the resistance thrown by three men, at the same time. Strowman is expected to do so, effectively showcasing his inhuman powers.
Update On WWE Veteran Scott Steiner After Collapsing At Impact TV Tapings
Daniel Bryan vs. Drew Gulak
This match was inserted into the PPV to fill up the Elimination Chamber card which does not have much hypes around it. Daniel Bryan is a clear cut favorite to come out as the winner against the former Cruiserweight Champion. Gulak won’t give up easily considering that he would be competing in the hometown of Philly. But in the end, Bryan would either pin or submit him and potentially move into the Intercontinental Title picture.
No DQ Match
Aleister Black vs. AJ Styles
AJ Styles is on his way to compete in a dream match at Wrestlemania 36 against The Undertaker. In order to give him some momentums, WWE has fed Aleister Black to him. This match will be contested under No DQ rules which allow the OCs to get involved without any bar. It ensures that Styles will have number-games in his favor and is all set to pick up a win before facing the Deadman.
Elimination Chamber Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles
The Usos vs. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler vs. Heavy Machinery vs. Lucha House Party vs. The New Day vs. John Morrison and The Miz (c)
The Miz and John Morrison have upped their mean skills to a whole new level that made them the new Smackdown tag champs at Super Showdown. The title defense inside the Elimination Chamber might seem a tough job but it was planned just to project them as strong heel champions. By the end of this match, we expect Miz and Morrison to stand tall and remain the reigning champs as it would be unfair to take away the belts from them within just ten days.

Winner will face RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36.
The potential main event of the Elimination Chamber PPV has all the elements to deliver a successful showdown. However, the predicted outcome could ruin things in an atmosphere like Philly. Almost everyone from the WWE Universe knows Shayna Baszler is all set to challenge Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Title at Wrestlemania 36. There’s no otherwise spoiler is available around the match which suggests that the former NXT women’s champion is still the favorite to outlast the other five superstars. It would finally confirm Becky vs. Shayna at the showcase of immortals on April 5th.
