8 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Predictions You Need To Know

7. Bobby Lashley Vs Brock Lesnar

Elimination Chamber

Bobby Lashley’s character alignments are all over the shop when he's positioned against Brock Lesnar.

Entering their 2022 Royal Rumble title match as a tweener, he slapped fives with fans upon dethroning 'The Beast', despite the fact that he'd climbed the mountain entirely thanks to Roman Reigns' interference. When they met back up at Crown Jewel in November, he'd been one of the biggest babyfaces of the year but became a petulant a*sehole when defeated clean.

The lines have been blurred more during the build, with the pull-aparts veering between making Lashley a coward and a killer. But developments beyond this feud (more on that shortly) seem to have made clear his motivations beyond this specific match.

Which, per WWE, means he loses here. The company presumably have something big for Lesnar at WrestleMania, and Lashley's next step might well have more to do with who he’s stood alongside rather than against...

Winner - Brock Lesnar
