WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: 7 Things That NEED To Happen

7. Dominik Mysterio Costs Finn Bálor

'Accidentally on purpose'. Or, maybe Dom Dom will run in with pure intentions for his Judgment Day stablemate but legitimately muck it up and cost Finn Bálor his match vs. CM Punk. Whatever way you slice it, this should lead to Dominik vs. Finn at WrestleMania 42 regardless of how WWE frames the story. Being honest, this possible run-in is the only real story Saturday's afterthought World Title match has.

Bálor hoping to throw a spanner in the works for 'Mania season feels like the speed bump narrative it is. Everyone knows the match will be good bell to bell, but it's pushing it to even put this on a 4-match PLE and charge premium ticket prices for it. No wonder select fans are holding onto their cash and giving Vegas a miss - some of WWE's booking has been uninspired.

Meh, at least the writers can glean something tangible out of it by running Mysterio’s interference to kill Finn’s big dream. Then, everyone can get moving on the real matches people want to see. Namely, Punk defending against Roman Reigns and JD imploding enough for Finn to teach Dom a lesson that'll either keep JD McDonagh onside or cause him to start feuding with Bálor as well.

It wouldn't hurt (ironically) if Punk seemed a little gassed out and beaten up coming out of Elimination Chamber too. His broken down warhorse who's doing everything he can to prove he still belongs at the top tale is a winner, and it'll come in handy once a well-rested Roman launches his latest return in time for 'Mania.

Give Finn something to spin out of Chicago with, please.
