6 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions You Need To Know

2. Roman Reigns Drops Punk In His Hometown

'OTC' now stands for 'Owns The Champ'.

There won't be many who think Roman Reigns is a shoe in to appear at Elimination Chamber, and that's precisely why he should. It'd be a cool moment if he showed up to drop CM Punk with a Superman Punch and spear combo on Saturday night. 'OTC' is 'Owns The Champ' or 'On Track (For) Chicago'.

Humiliating Punk in his hometown just because he can is exactly the sort of flex Roman would want to show off ahead of their match at WrestleMania 42. He's trying to big dog Punk and claim that CM has no chance up against him in Las Vegas. By smashing the World Heavyweight Champ here, Reigns would give Punk something to talk about on coming weeks via Raw.

A snarling, ticked off champion would feel backed into a corner and embarrassed by what happened at Chamber. If it happens. Nah, it should. WWE will never get a full-time schedule out of Roman again, but he's surely willing to play ball when there's 'Mania build to focus on. This is a vitally important match for both he and CM, as well as the promotion itself.

They might be relying on Punk vs. Reigns to be the selling point of Wrestle-freakin-Mania this year. That's why Reigns should get his Jordans on for Elimination Chamber and show up to thump Punk in the jaw then blast his midsection with a rib-rattling spear.

There'd be a neat mix of cheers and boos in Chi-Town if he did. Good. Roman is used to that.
