Elimination Chamber 2019 Preview, Predictions And Thoughts

It’s time for the primary of 2 stops at the manner in opposition to WrestleMania 35, as a result of for some reason why there are two pay in step with perspectives between the Royal Rumble and the most important display of the 12 months. First up we’ve Elimination Chamber, despite the fact that I’m no longer positive you can know that once this week’s Monday Night Raw, which basically fascinated about WrestleMania. There is on the other hand a pay in step with view card to take a look at, with a couple of main suits. Let’s get to it.

Kickoff Show: Cruiserweight Title: Buddy Murphy(c) vs. Akira Tozawa

Was somebody realistically anticipating this to be at the major display? The Cruiserweight Title is all however assured to be at the Kickoff Show anymore, despite the fact that I will opt for the theory of getting them get somewhat additional time so issues will also be fleshed out. Tozawa gained a 4 manner fit on 205 Live to earn the shot towards Murphy, who’s changing into moderately the highest degree Cruiserweight Champion.

I’m pondering that’s sufficient to stay the name on Murphy, who turns out virtually assured to have a big name fit at WrestleMania (at the Kickoff Show fit after all). Tozawa is an excessively a laugh skill to look at, however I don’t assume he’s the type of man who’s taking the name from a monster like Murphy. This will have to be a troublesome hitting fit, but it surely’s the type of fit that may handiest result in a technique, which is Murphy holding.

The champ waits for Tozawa:

SmackDown Tag Team Titles: Shane McMahon/The Miz(c) vs. Usos

Well that is much more attention-grabbing. As you most likely heard, Jimmy Uso were given arrested previous this month for disorderly habits, this means that issues are most definitely going to be shaken up somewhat bit. At the similar time despite the fact that, the Usos could be looking to go away WWE and if they’re, a Tag Team Title reign would possibly gradual them down somewhat. Also on the similar time (it’s a hectic time), McMahon and Miz aren’t precisely topic to the similar laws that govern maximum wrestlers.

That being mentioned, I’ll take the champs to retain, as this appears to be one thing that we wish to get to heading into WrestleMania. I don’t know in the event that they lose the titles there or face each and every different there, however nor is precisely an exciting consequence. The Usos deserve higher, however after what came about remaining week, that must be placed on grasp, no less than in the intervening time. For now, extra McMizAmania.

This is now the peculiar one:

Raw Women’s Title: Ronda Rousey(c) vs. Ruby Riott

This corporate loves some alliteration. This one is set as simple of a winner as you’ll get and there’s not anything improper with that. As Rousey could also be leaving the corporate in about two months, it’s cool to look them moving into as many suits as she may have towards various warring parties. Riott and the Squad haven’t gotten to do very a lot with Rousey, however the fit itself will have to be a laugh.

Of path Rousey keeps right here, as a result of what else goes to occur? Rousey is already slotted in for a name fit at WrestleMania, however on the similar time there’s a place for Riott. If you let her get shut right here and virtually have Rousey beat, there’s a option to set her as much as face Asuka in April for the SmackDown Women’s Title. Riott loses right here, however she might be up for one thing else one day.

Rousey does keep in mind this fit exists proper:

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

This is No DQ and….I do not know why I might need to see this fit. It’s a feud that has been happening for months now and I’m actually no longer positive why I’d need to see it occur once more, particularly on a pay in step with view. The tale has misplaced its manner a very long time in the past and it’s a lot more “they were fighting a few months ago and they’re still fighting now”. There’s a superb opportunity that Drew McIntyre and Kurt Angle become involved right here, as a result of we didn’t get sufficient of that fit on Monday Night Raw.

For some reason why I believe Corbin wins right here, as it’s been too lengthy since he’s gained a fit of observe and gotten extra of a push that defies any and all good judgment. McIntyre and Angle will most definitely run in to make it a larger mess than it’s already going to be and we transfer in opposition to the large showdown between Angle and Corbin at WrestleMania. How that may be Angle’s remaining fit is past me, however WWE loves Corbin for causes I don’t need to comprehend.

They’ve been having problems with past due:

Intercontinental Title: Bobby Lashley(c)/Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor

Now this one scares me. All indicators level to Balor profitable the name, however I don’t assume they’re going that manner simply but. For some reason why I believe we’re prone to see it at WrestleMania, which generally could be wonderful however I don’t assume there’s any place close to sufficient steam on this feud to get them that some distance. Hence the inclusion of Rush right here, despite the fact that once more I’m no longer positive how attention-grabbing that may get.

I’ll cross with Rush and Lashley holding right here, despite the fact that I’m virtually terrified to look how they get to that conclusion. There’s a superb opportunity it’s some more or less a screwy end to stay the name on Lashley, like Rush serving to with a double pin or one thing, however having Balor lose is a slightly unhealthy concept. Then once more it’s no longer the brightest concept to stretch this out, however for now it’s as just right as we will be able to get. Lashley keeps, in the end dropping the name to Balor down the road.

He’s completed it to considered one of them:

Women’s Tag Team Titles: Elimination Chamber

For the inaugural titles and actually, there are just a few groups with an actual shot. You can get rid of Naomi/Carmella, the IIconics and Fire and Desire. You know, the SmackDown groups. That leaves you with the 3 Monday Night Raw groups, who’ve been the favorites all alongside. You may just cross more than one techniques with the 3 last groups, however one sticks out.

I’m going with the Riott Squad profitable the titles right here. I simply can’t consider having the Samoans win the titles, leaving you with two actual choices. Bayley and Sasha Banks were handled as the primary stars, however with Banks nonetheless being banged up and the potential of this feud if truth be told happening till the 2 of them are piles of mud, I will’t image them profitable the primary titles. Maybe they win them at WrestleMania, however for now it’s the Riott Squad getting the titles.

WWE Championship: Elimination Chamber

This felt like the most important layup on this planet till Tuesday when Kofi Kingston had some of the perfect performances of his profession. I’m no longer positive I will consider Kingston getting the name this quickly, however he definitely has momentum at this time and with the C degree pay in step with view Fastlane no longer very some distance away, there’s an opportunity that he’ll get a one on one name shot there. But towards who?

That could be Daniel Bryan, who I believe keeps the name with the assistance of both Rowan or any individual else, perhaps even a returning Luke Harper. Bryan isn’t prone to lose the name right here as his new heel persona is sizzling sufficient to stay round, however he’s going to want some lend a hand to live to tell the tale and advance down the street. A couple of issues may just pop out of the fit, however I will’t consider considered one of them is a brand new champion.

Overall Thoughts

I’ve made no secret of the truth that I don’t see the wish to have two pay in step with perspectives between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, however Elimination Chamber sounds way more attention-grabbing than Fastlane. This display no less than has two large suits and the ones two will have to be sufficient to make issues paintings somewhat higher. If issues cross neatly, we may have a slightly entertaining night time, simply with the extent of motion on my own.
