10 Last-Minute WWE Elimination Chamber 2017 Predictions
7. Nikki Bella Vs. Natalya Will Be Called Off
It’s difficult to pick a winner between Nikki Bella and Natalya, but what if no winner needs to be picked at all?
This week, the Wrestling Observer reported that in light of her recent surgery, Nikki’s neck problems “have been acting up, and have led to numbness at times on one side of her body.” Other outlets are even going as far as talking about a potential retirement after WrestleMania 33, or at the very least some extended time off.
Basically, it seems like Nikki isn’t quite 100% right now, so perhaps it might be for the best if the company push back on her scheduled match with Natalya at Elimination Chamber.
Conveniently, an injury angle was actually shot on Talking Smack this week which, despite John Cena’s nonchalance, could easily be used as a get-out to justify cancelling their match this weekend if Nikki’s neck really is as bad as reports suggest.
Though this one’s brewed into a decent rivalry in recent weeks, don’t be surprised to see the match postponed for the time being until Nikki's in better shape.
