WWE Elimination Chamber 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
8. Then Locks A Full Nelson On Riddle
Lashley has been torturing Riddle with his Full Nelson for a reason. Eventually, Raw's laid-back babyface is gonna' break that hold and gun down Bob's title reign. It's a natural story, and it should work provided WWE don't lean too heavily on forced comedy for the ex-UFC man, but it's too soon to pull the trigger.
At Elimination Chamber, Lashley should beat Keith Lee then shred Riddle's upper torso with that deadly submission. As he does that, the announcers can wonder aloud how the reigning US Champ could ever be stopped; it's simple, it's logical, it'll be effective.
There's no need to deviate from recent events here.
WWE can build and build Lashley's insatiable lust for that hold. Then, when the moment is right, Riddle can release an unstoppable volley of resistance that leaves the champ reeling. Hopefully, all going well, that'll come at WrestleMania in Tampa.
