WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 Predictions

This will be a historic pay per view because for the first time since the 80’s, WWE will crown brand new Women’s Tag Team Champions. This isn’t shaping up to be a very strong pay per view, which is concerning because this is on the ‘Road to WrestleMania.’ Also, where in the hell is Asuka? One of the biggest stars in WWE isn’t even on the card because she has nobody to defend her title against. Even with the title, Asuka is still being mistreated. Anyway, let’s see who will walk out of the Chambers holding some gold with my predictions for WWE Elimination Chamber 2019.
Preshow Cruiserweight Championship Match: Buddy Murphy (c) vs Akira Tozawa
After beating Lio Rush, Humberto Carillo, and Cedric Alexander in a Fatal 4 Way, Akira Tozawa gets another shot at Buddy Murphy’s Cruiserweight Championship. And once again it’s on the preshow, despite the Cruiserweights doing insane flippy stuff, they’re still relegated to the preshow. No offense to Akira Tozawa, he ain’t going to be champ again anytime soon. I’m picking Buddy Murphy to retain his title, and go into Fastlane as the Cruiserweight Champion.
Prediction: Buddy Murphy retains
Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship Match: ‘The Best Tag Team in the World’ (The Miz & Shane McMahon) (c) vs The Usos
At the Royal Rumble, the ‘Best Tag Team in the World’ pulled off an amazing upset over The Bar and won the tag titles. Instead of Sheamus or Cesaro coming out to get a rematch, The Usos beat The Bar, New Day, and Heavy Machinery to get a shot at the titles. Although Shane isn’t fully trained, he’s had some fantastic matches. This is going to be a great match, and I’m sure Shane is going to do something crazy, like a shooting star press or an elbow through a table. Hell, maybe both.While the implosion of Miz and Shane could happen here, I think that they’ll retain the titles one more time, and lose them at Fastlane.
Prediction: Miz and Shane retain the Tag Team Championships
Handicap Match for the Intercontinental Championship (If Finn pins Lio Rush, he wins the title): Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush vs Finn Bálor
I think it’s dumb that it’s stupid that this is a handicap match. They should not be a championship match stipulation because the other person could cost the champion his title, but can’t win the title for himself. It makes 0 sense. But here we are. Finn gets a chance to kick the crap out of the annoying hype man Lio Rush, and I’m sure he will. So far, Bobby Lashley has done nothing with the Intercontinental Championship, and the IC title has been a huge afterthought after Seth Rollins dropped the title to Dean Ambrose. I’m going to pick Finn Bálor to win the Intercontinental Championship, and bring some prestige back to the belt.
Prediction: Finn Bálor wins the Intercontinental Championship
RAW Women’s Championship Match: “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (c) vs Ruby Riott
After Ronda tapped out Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, now it’s Ruby Riott’s turn. This match was just announced randomly on twitter, and it makes sense considering basically the entire women’s division is in the tag title chamber match. And although I like Ruby Riott, I can’t really buy into her as a contender for Rousey’s title because of how random this match got thrown together. I think she can be a contender, but there has to be a better reason for her to get a title shot rather than making Ronda look strong going into ‘Mania. I’m going to make the easy choice and pick Ronda to retain.
Prediction: Rousey completes the trifecta and retains her title
Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin
Before the go-home RAW, it was announced that Braun Strowman will once again face Baron Corbin. I don’t need to go further into this because we’ve seen it so much. We all know how it’s gonna go down, Braun is going to squash Baron Corbin, end of story.
Prediction: Braun Strowman
Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions: The Boss N’ Hug Connection vs The IIconics vs Nia Jax & Tamina vs The Riott Squad vs Fire and Desire (Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville) vs Naomi & Carmella
30 years and 3 days after they were disbanded, WWE are bringing back the Women’s Tag Team Titles. I’m going to be honest here, although it’s an awesome thing to have a chaotic Elimination Chamber Match, I think it would’ve been better for WWE if they were to do an 8 team tournament that culminated at WrestleMania. It would’ve made for one hell of a ‘Mania moment. But thanks to Vince and Alexa Bliss, it’s happening here. This is going to be frantic match, and could steal the show. Let’s see how this groundbreaking match is going to go down.
Entrants 1 & 2: The Boss N’ Hug Connection & Fire and Desire (confirmed)
This further paints Sasha and Bayley as the underdogs in this match, and I love that. I think that they’ll have an okay start to the chamber match, but Corey’s gonna be in for a rough night when Mandy eats the pin for her team.
Entrant 6: The IIconics
I feel like that the IIconics would be perfect at 6, they’d try to pick the scraps for a quick elimination, but then would sit on the outside while everyone else beats each other up.
Most Eliminations: Nia Jax and Tamina
Nia has to look like a monster, maybe eliminate a couple of teams before they get eliminated in the ‘Samoan Slaughterhouse.’
Prediction: The Boss N’ Hug Connection become the inaugural Women’s Tag Team Champions
Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Championship: Daniel Bryan (c) vs Randy Orton vs Samoa Joe vs Jeff Hardy vs AJ Styles vs Kofi Kingston
Daniel Bryan is defending his WWE title in an Elimination Chamber match, which is actually the first time he’s done so since he was the World Heavyweight Champion (Remember when that title was around?). Speaking of the WWE Championship, I’m a big fan of Daniel Bryan’s ‘Hempyweight’ title. Now for the third pay per view in a row, Daniel Bryan will be facing AJ Styles in some capacity. Mustafa Ali was injured and had to pull out of the Chamber match, and was replaced by Kofi KIngston. Kofi had a monster performance in the gauntlet match Tuesday, wrestling for an hour, just like Seth Rollins did last year. We all know that this performance was supposed to go to Ali, but this was a blessing in disguise for vastly overlooked Kofi Kingston. Many fans on Twitter are saying that Kofi should be winning the WWE Championship, but we all know that ain’t happening. Just like any Elimination Chamber match, it will be a brutal affair. Let’s see how this Chamber Match will go.
Entrants 1 & 2: Jeff Hardy and Kofi Kingston
Hardy and Kofi will have an electric start to this match, with lots of high flying. I’m sure that Jeff will do something insane like a Swanton Bomb off of one of the pods.
Entrant 6: Randy Orton (confirmed)
Randy makes the most sense to be at 6, because he’d come in and pick everyone apart, maybe get an elimination or two before he goes.
Most Eliminations: Samoa Joe
It seems tailor-made for Joe to wreck a lot of people in the Chamber. He’ll get maybe 2-3 eliminations before he gets eliminated himself.
Prediction: Daniel Bryan retains the WWE Championship last eliminating Kofi Kingston
