Do you have any predictions for Elimination Chamber, especially with big WrestleMania implications in the major matches?

"I think John Cena is probably losing the title in the Elimination Chamber. Surely they cant do Cena vs Orton for the 400th time! Bray Wyatt seems the logical choice to take the title, but that seems underwhelming to be honest.

I suppose with two titles they can have the Smackdown World Title Match as the WrestleMania opener like they did with Edge and Alberto Del Rio a few years ago.

It's always felt like Orton isn't really a bad guy since he joined the Wyatts, and that he's just been waiting to turn. But him joining the family seems to have gone better than they thought it would. I think maybe thats more just good luck than anything else though!

With Kevin Owens and Goldberg, I think the title should probably go to Goldberg. I like Owens and Chris Jericho, but I just couldn't see those guys being in the main event of WrestleMania, so that title should probably go into the biggest match."
