10 Last-Minute WWE Elimination Chamber 2017 Rumours You Need To Know

9. Apollo Crews Or Kalisto Turns Heel

One of the more puzzling matches on Sunday's card will see Dolph Ziggler take on Apollo Crews and Kalisto in a handicap match. While Dolph has had issues with both men since his heel turn (and both men have scored quick victories over him on Smackdown), putting this match together was a particularly bad idea. Babyfaces shouldn't have such a big advantage going into a match, and no matter what the outcome is, Crews and Kalisto won't get anything out of the bout.

That consideration is enough to raise suspicion that the bout could be a backdrop for another turn, with either Crews or Kalisto turning on his partner, allowing Dolph the win, and starting off a heel run of his own. Ordinarily, it wouldn't be a bad idea, but both guys are great babyfaces who haven't yet been pushed to their highest potential in that role. A turn, just like this match, wouldn't do them any favors.

Sadly, what's more likely is that Dolph will just win and the fans still won't care about him.
