6 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions You Need To Know

4. PLE Reveal Or Return Teaser Is In The Box

WWE Crate Box Elimination Chamber 2026

Danhausen appears to be the bookies favourite to burst out of the big wooden box at Elimination Chamber before putting a curse on everyone he can think of. Tony Khan would be at the top of his list. No, only joking. Seriously though, the former AEW curiosity would actually be a giant letdown considering the hype WWE has put behind this crate gimmick.

Some folks reckon it'll be Chris Jericho in there, which is also far-fetched. The latest word on Jericho is that he's staying put as #AllElite for now, so it's unlikely to be him. Finally, if anyone thinks The Rock is going to leap out of a big ol' box for his return, then we've got some magic beans we'd like to sell you.

2 for a pound.

Speaking of pounds, whomever's in the crate will sweat a few off - it'd be bloody roasting in there. Obviously, they wouldn't have literally been in there for weeks, but that'd be how WWE would frame things on TV. So, it's much more likely that it's a big statue of someone that feeds into a return teaser. A Dwayne Johnson bust is much more plausible than the real deal, put it that way.

Alternatively, this could be WWE's way of announcing that another major PLE is coming to Chicago in the future. A Royal Rumble special, perhaps? There's probably no way they can live up to the billing with this, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.

No Gobbledy Gooker style flops though, please. Pretty please?
