8 HUGE WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Predictions You Need To Know

3. Roman Reigns Vs Sami Zayn

The most predictable match on the card is nonetheless the most compelling.

The Bloodline saga has earned deserved plaudits for its patience and poise over the past several months, and the planning here deserves huge kudos too. When news broke of Montreal hosting Elimination Chamber, everybody immediately fancast Zayn into this exact role, and WWE carefully plotted their way to the eventual destination.

Forever the plucky underdog in the group, Zayn's indomitable spirit and willingness to please 'The Tribal Chief' babyfaced him in the first place, and those same traits will make Reigns the most hated man in the building against the hometown hero.

It'll all be for naught in the end, but never will "naught" be so dramatic again. How the show goes off the air (more on that later) is up for debate but the result simply is not. The WrestleMania main event is set, is right, and always had to be where Zayn hit a wall. But the Challenger's nearfalls will ones for the ages along the way.

Winner - Roman Reigns
