2024 WWE Elimination Chamber predictions
Males’s Elimination Chamber Match — Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton vs. Bobby Lashley vs. LA Knight vs. Kevin Owens vs. Logan Paul
Given the match is to find out who goes on to problem for the world heavyweight championship at WrestleMania, it’s important to break it all the way down to who is sensible to go on to such a high-profile match. The one man concerned right here who has been central to the story of world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins has been McIntyre. The Scotsman has been on Uncooked each week speaking about how he’s coming for Rollins and the title. Nobody else has that stage of engagement with the title. For that motive alone, it seems like McIntyre is the one good choice right here. Decide: Drew McIntyre wins (Brent Brookhouse)
Nobody within the males’s Elimination Chamber match deserves a world heavyweight title shot at WrestleMania as a lot as McIntyre does proper now. Not even Knight, who the WWE will hopefully strap a rocket to within the subsequent 12 months. McIntyre has been a marvel on the microphone, holding his personal in opposition to CM Punk, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. He is additionally some of the fleshed out characters on the roster, a heel with comprehensible motives. An affordable win over Rhodes on Uncooked is a promising signal that WWE is able to make McIntyre greater than the man who falls simply brief. It is time for McIntyre, who captured his first WWE title in an empty venue at WrestleMania 36 throughout lockdown, to have a real WrestleMania second. Profitable the Elimination Chamber is an efficient begin. Decide: Drew McIntyre wins (Shakiel Mahjouri)
Ladies’s Elimination Chamber Match — Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair vs. Liv Morgan vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Naomi vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Rhea Ripley vs. Lynch at WrestleMania 40 is a no brainer. They’re two of WWE’s hottest and gifted girls. It is also a match WWE has been slowly constructing to over the past eight months. Having Lynch win the Elimination Chamber is probably the most straight ahead path to a WrestleMania showdown, plus it showcases Lynch’s aggressive edge. Decide: Becky Lynch wins (Mahjouri)
WWE has been locked in on Becky Lynch’s new storyline of being the most effective girls to ever grace the promotion’s ring however instantly struggling to search out success. That leaves two apparent paths for Lynch within the Chamber. Both she will get the win and breaks the skid or she suffers one other loss and continues to query whether or not she nonetheless “has it.” Belair is a good expertise however feels sort of out of the image with Ripley. Stratton, Naomi and Rodriguez do not actually make sense as challengers for Ripley at WrestleMania. That leaves Morgan, who has a built-in story with Ripley the place she was sidelined by the champion or Lynch, who’s attempting to show she remains to be a prime participant. I will lean towards Lynch getting the large match at WrestleMania. Decide: Becky Lynch wins (Brookhouse)
Ladies’s World Championship — Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Nia Jax
WWE has a bizarre historical past of getting wrestlers of their hometowns or residence international locations lose relatively than have a giant second. It isn’t on a regular basis but it surely’s usually sufficient to trigger anybody to take pause on considering Ripley will probably be handed the win in entrance of an excited Australian viewers. Nonetheless, Ripley has been such a workhorse for the corporate and has totally come into her personal as an elite expertise throughout this championship run. I do not see WWE taking the belt off of her this near WrestleMania in favor of Jax. That mentioned, Jax has historical past with Lynch and Lynch vs. Jax at WrestleMania works nicely. I am getting a sense we do not get a clear consequence right here and will see Ripley vs. Jax vs. Lynch at WrestleMania. Decide: Rhea Ripley wins by disqualification (Brookhouse)
If you are going to ebook Ripley vs. Lynch at WrestleMania 40, probably the most handy path requires Ripley to efficiently defend her title in opposition to Jax. That is going to be a giant night time for Ripley. She returns to her residence nation of Australia for the primary time as a WWE celebrity and world champion. Jax’s profession has had a exceptional glow-up since her groan-inducing return on the 2023 Royal Rumble. It seems like a giant match and that is a fantastic launching pad for Ripley to WrestleMania. Decide: Rhea Ripley wins (Mahjouri)
Undisputed WWE Tag Staff Championship — Judgment Day (c) vs. Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate
Dunne and Bate successful could be a serious shocker. They’re a contemporary essential roster act taking over established, in style champions with WrestleMania in sight. Merely being on this place is a victory for Dunne and Bate. This match is extra about making Judgment Day look sturdy and showcasing the challengers potential than something. Anticipate Balor and Priest to retain their titles en path to a WrestleMania showdown, possible in opposition to R-Fact and The Miz. Decide: Judgment Day wins (Mahjouri)
