6 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions You Need To Know

6. Becky Lynch Welcomes A New Protege

Most believe that AJ Lee will take the Women's Intercontinental Title away from a rattled Becky Lynch. Initially, this writer was very much amongst those believers, but he's had a change of heart after digesting what happened on this week's episode of NXT. There, Zaria turned on her old pal Sol Ruca by dishing out a vicious attack that cost Sol the match vs. Jacy Jayne.

A crafty veteran like Becky would've been watching.

So, is it really out of line to suggest that Zaria shows up in Chicago as Lynch's new protege to stop Lee from taking the gold? That'd marry a developmental brand story with what's happening on 'A' show Raw, which could be cool. Plus, it's only a matter of time before Ruca makes a splash on the main roster anyway, so why not see what Zaria can achieve?

She has the might and the muscle to work well as Becky's go to bodyguard/heater. Think Zoey Stark when she was buddying up with Trish Stratus against Lynch a few years back. That's the sort of thing we'd be looking at here. Assuming all goes to plan, it might well help Zaria bed in on the main crew herself.

Admittedly, she does seem set for a breakaway heel role on NXT post-Sol, but Triple H may be seeking a way to keep the Women's IC belt on Lynch until WrestleMania 42 at the earliest. If so, then welcoming Zaria up to the big leagues as Becky's new accomplice sounds like a solid enough plan.

That'd necessitate a 'Mania rematch, if nothing else.
