6 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions You Need To Know

1. The Rock Helps Cody Rhodes Win Chamber

We're about to find out exactly what The Rock is cookin'.

Drew McIntyre has been earning a lot of babyface reactions (despite being firmly heel) on TV lately, and that's because people are invested in his personal journey back towards the WWE Title. Conversely, those same fans appear to be getting just a little bit sick of Cody Rhodes - the poster boy has been hearing scattered booing throughout his matches/segments for a while now.

What if WWE re-airs that soul-stealing story from last year's event by delivering a Cody heel turn at Chamber 2026? Last year's card featured a memorable John Cena turn. Sure, they didn't really know where to go with things after that and Cena turned babyface again in a hurry, but it did get the world talking. Hopefully, if Rhodes goes rogue, Triple H and his creative types would have a long-term plan in place.

They can always sit on the end game for a while. Cody can look utterly baffled that Rocky returned to help him secure a 'Mania title shot, then his full desperation can be revealed over time. Picture it: Drew and Cody work a double turn akin to Bret Hart and Steve Austin back at WrestleMania 13.

Could they pull it off? There's only one way to find that out.
