The Elimination Chamber pay-per-view will be headlined by the match that gives the show its name. Six men will enter Satan’s Prison, and one will prevail. The prize awaiting? A WrestleMania main event match against WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. With that in mind, let’s get the obvious out of the way and say that Roman Reigns wins this match.

The rest of the line-up is intriguing, and the actions of the other five men may well be the most interesting part of it. Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan will likely drop the tag titles at the Royal Rumble, freeing both up for this match. The Chamber represents a chance to really push Jordan, and having the two start things off is a great idea.

Braun Strowman will clearly be in the match, and he will likely enter fourth or fifth and empty the ring. The Monster Among Men is rumoured to be facing Triple H at WrestleMania 34, and that match will be set up outside of this event. Strowman’s role in the Chamber will be destruction and destruction alone.

Finn Bálor and The Miz should also be in this match, and I would like to see this act as the beginning of a feud over the Intercontinental Championship. That title hasn’t been defended in a singles match on the main show at WrestleMania since ‘Mania XXVIII. That must change, and Bálor can take the white title on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Which leaves The Big Dog himself, Roman Reigns. It has long been rumoured that Lesnar vs. Reigns is the plan for WrestleMania, and this will be the night where that finally comes together. Some will groan, others will celebrate but, despite its predictability, Elimination Chamber promises enough action to be a show of excitement - or at least intrigue.
