Team Rhodes Scholars versus Brodus Clay & Tensai
To me this is an example of a great thrown together team and
a less than entertaining thrown together team. Team Rhodes Scholars were on a
roll for a while and I expected them to even pick up the tag team titles for a minute,
but it looks like we may be seeing the last of this team as they have already
begun to faze them out of the tag team division, and I expect Clay & Tensai
to go over them in this Pre-Show bout.
Divas Championship Match: Kaitlyn © versus Tamina Snuka
I can’t recall much build up for this one, which is a shame
the way the WWE treats the Divas title compared to the way TNA does their
Knockouts. I expect Kaitlyn to get the win and maybe even move on from Snuka,
the only real question is to whom? My suggestion would be to Natalya but that
would make too much sense.
United States Championship Match: Antonio Cesaro © versus
The Miz
I’m looking forward to seeing how this match plays out; both
men have done a great job building this feud up. I expect them to have Cesaro
go over here and continue forward with a full set of steam, but it also wouldn’t
shock me to see The Miz go over with a rematch at WrestleMania.
Cesaro has shown that he can be a big time player now and I
think if they continue the push that they are giving him he may end up in the
main event quicker than you might expect.
Team Cena (John Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus) versus The Shield
(Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins)
They have to protect Cena going into WrestleMania there is
no question, so I expect Team Cena to go over. I do think that now would be a
great time for an epic swerve and have Cena side with The Shield and turn heel,
but doubt that it will happen that way. I was a little surprised that they didn’t make
this in to some sort of gimmick match, but I do think that could all change
when the show goes live.
Elimination Chamber Match: Randy Orton versus Chris Jericho
versus Mark Henry versus Daniel Bryan versus Kane versus Jack Swagger
This could be a very interesting chamber match, with several
storylines being played out. Dolph Ziggler is a major wildcard in both this
match and the World Heavyweight Championship match. I expect him to be heavily involved
in one or the other. I expect Chris
Jericho to go on and win this match pushing forward the idea that Ziggler will
cash in later on and win the World Heavyweight Championship.
We also have the storyline between Daniel Bryan and Kane
which can go in a few different directions. I hope that whatever it is leads to
them dropping the belts to a good tag team, and moving forward with their
feud/storyline.
Randy Orton’s heel turn has been talked about what seems
like forever and with WrestleMania right around the corner could this be his
turning point? I’m not sure if we see it unfold tonight but I do think its
coming.
Then we have the recently returned Jack Swagger and Mark
Henry both should make an impact in tonight’s match but I can’t see either
walking away the winner. I am curious to see where Swagger’s character is going
as it’s a big edgy by recent WWE TV standards.
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Alberto Del Rio © versus
Big Show
Since ADR has turned face I’ve become a fan of him, he seems
more natural now in the ring, while I do think he was better on the mic as a
heel, his sidekick Ricardo Rodriguez more than makes up for that. I think we
see ADR go over here which will lead up to one of two things.
A.
He will go on to WrestleMania to face, what I
think will be Chris Jericho or Randy Orton, or
B.
He will win the match, but afterwards Big Show
will hit him with WMD which will bring out Dolph Ziggler and he will cash in to
win the World Title and go on to face Jericho at WrestleMania, which think will
happen regardless.
WWE Championship Match: The Rock © versus CM Punk
While we all feel like we know the outcome to this match, I
think that the WWE will try and surprise us somehow in this match. With that
being said The Rock will still walk out of the Elimination Chamber PPV the
champion, but will CM Punk walk out as a challenger to Rock and Cena at
WrestleMania or to The Undertakers streak? I think tonight is a now or never
moment for Taker, if he doesn't wrestle this year I think it’s time to hang
them up.
Side note: No Wade Barrett on the card is a bit surprising, I
expect we see a match with him versus Bo Dallas at some time during the night.
