5. Anyone Other Than Asuka Wins

Look at the field of faces in that match graphic above.

Now, scan your eyes from left to right again. Who stands out the most? Asuka's face paints certainly help eyes gravitate towards her, but WWE pens should also put a tick next to her name when deciding winners and losers for Elimination Chamber. Honestly, who else works as Bianca Belair's challenger?

Carmella would be a poor choice, Nikki Cross isn't currently hot enough as a character to make the match feel big time, Raquel Rodriguez would be the lesser babyface of the two, Liv Morgan's flirtation with titles is over for now, and Natalya is...Natalya. She'd be the "safe" (boring) option.

Asuka is really WWE's only viable pick to come out on top this weekend. Then, creative can start spinning her deeper into heel territory in preparation for Belair, or go mad and try to heel route with Bianca on the main roster.
