WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: 10 Things That Must Happen

1. Bray Wyatt Shocks John Cena

Bray Wyatt warned John Cena on a recent episode of SmackDown that he shouldn't just be looking forward to facing Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33.

Wyatt's words indicate that a sweeping change is coming in the WWE Title scene; Bray's real feud will commence when he and Orton inevitably split, perhaps paving the way for a series of matches after 'Mania. There's surely money in that feud. Those issues between the fractured Wyatt Family members would carry SmackDown through the traditional post-WrestleMania lull.

WWE oddly downplayed John Cena's 16th World Title win, despite the fact it matched Ric Flair's "record". This suggests there's a bigger celebration coming when Cena breaks Flair's haul and wins a top title for the 17th time.

The question is: will WrestleMania be the date on which that happens?

In order for Cena to win the belt back come 'Mania, he must first lose it to someone at Elimination Chamber. The most likely candidate to topple him for the title is Bray Wyatt, a victory which would set the scene for a potential Triple Threat encounter, also involving Orton, on WWE's grandest stage.
