WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: 7 Things That NEED To Happen
2. Drew McIntyre Pulls A HBK
No, not by rocking some unfinished (and awful) brown tights or by wrecking his legacy when accepting oodles of cash for an unwanted match in Saudi Arabia. Something else. Drew McIntyre has been a top class troll on SmackDown lately, so it'd be logical if he brought some of those hijinks to Elimination Chamber just to mess with Cody Rhodes.
Why? Because he can.
Remember when Shawn Michaels came up through the outer grates of the Chamber in 2010 and cost The Undertaker his match? McIntyre should pull that same stunt with Cody this weekend for the banter. It’d certainly fit in with recent TV and what Drew has been doing. Plus, it’d give Rhodes a valid excuse if he was screwed out of the win.
He'd hunt down blue GM Nick Aldis and demand that something be done about McIntyre's interference. Taking a Claymore Kick to the chops just as it looked like Cody had this Chamber shindig well in hand would also bring out some more of those subtly brilliant heel vibes he's been showing in his promos. Just saying.
Recent rumours say Drew could defend his WWE Title in a Triple Threat, Fatal-4-Way or '5/6 Pack Challenge' come WrestleMania. Cody's obviously in the frame, but so are guys like Jacob Fatu and Randy Orton. Then, there are others like Sami Zayn and Aleister Black who have been rumoured too.
If one of the latter pair get bumped out of the picture and it's a 6-pack, then someone else would need to muscle in on the title scene. Luckily, WWE has just the fellow...
