10 New Directions For WWE After Elimination Chamber 2023
WWE Elimination Chamber was the beginning of the end for Roman Reigns and the Bloodline.
Even wrestling's best ideas don't last forever.
Despite being at the peak of his powers as the best all-rounder in the biz today, Roman Reigns just experienced his last WWE pay-per-view triumph for a while at Elimination Chamber. He did so at the expense of beloved babyface Sami Zayn, but...what a story those men told.
Triple H and WWE won't bask in the afterglow of a job well done for long though. They can't afford to - the not-so-small matter of WrestleMania 39 looms on the horizon, and that means it's the beginning of the end for Roman's title run and his Bloodline's dominance.
Elsewhere, certain other top stars will pivot out of Chamber with a bang and take their own successes over the coming months. Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, Asuka are more are destined to work wonders on WWE's grandest stage.
Will an elusive dream match join them? On that note, will Trips bring back a famous gimmick bout for its first 'Mania whirl since 2016?
Here's where company business is headed after the glory of Montreal.
10. Seth Rollins = Raw’s Top Babyface
"Whoah! Whoooooooh-ooooooooah-ooooooooh!".
That refrain has become a staple on programming and helped turn Seth Rollins from hated heel into flashy babyface. Coming out of Elimination Chamber, and due to the fact he was screwed out of United States Title success by Logan Paul, Seth is now ready to become Raw's top male baby.
Expect WWE to present Rollins as exactly that during the build towards WrestleMania. There, he'll likely go above and beyond to make Paul look like the man (ahem) by handing the celeb-turned-wrestler his very first singles win in the company; that's a guess, but it does seem rather likely considering how Logan has taken to this wrestling stuff.
The best thing about all of this is that Seth is so over he can take a loss and still get those reactions from live crowds. If this keeps up, and even if he's putting LP over at 'Mania, Rollins will be back in the top title mix by summer.
