WWE Elimination Chamber 2024: 10 Things That Must Happen
Elimination Chamber is a big night for WWE stars like Rhea Ripley, Drew McIntyre and...Hulk Hogan?!
WWE set the scene nicely for Elimination Chamber on Monday's Raw.
There's a freshness to TV production that hasn't been visible for decades. Perhaps that's no surprise now Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn have finally lost their iron grip on the way things are done - this is Triple H's baby now, and 'The Game' clearly fancies experimenting with new techniques to create a different vibe.
It's working, and hopes are high that Saturday's next big PLE over in Australia gives WWE staffers another reason to high five one another. The match count is deliberately low, and that should give twin Chamber bouts significant breathing space to showcase everything right about the gimmick.
You can't have failed to spot the presence of one Hulk Hogan in the featured graphic. Could the spirit of Hulkamania actually linger over in Perth? If so, how will that even work in 2024?! Stay tuned to find out, because national hero Rhea Ripley could be set for some red and yellow shenanigans herself on the night.
Here's everything that must happen come Chamber, including exactly who wins each match and what WWE should do with a risky bonus segment.
10. Becky Lynch Runs The Gauntlet
Becky Lynch winning the women's Chamber match then challenging Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40 is one of wrestling's worst kept secrets right now. Lynch even passively dismissed Nia Jax as a threat on Raw (causing Pat McAfee to pipe up on commentary) and focused solely on 'Mami' instead.
That really says it all.
Bianca Belair, the returning trio of Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan and Naomi, and newbie Tiffany Stratton do offer some spice but...this is Becky's bout to win. She's the best choice amongst the current crop to stare down Ripley and try to take that Women's World Title from her in Philly.
To get there, WWE should make Lynch look like a true dream chaser. She must enter the Chamber first, and survive right to the end before pointing at one of those big neon 'Mania signs. This is creative's last supershow chance to firm up Raw's big female offering this April.
They surely won't waste it.
