Let’s get to it.Starting with the preshow, I’ll go with Brodus/Tensai to beat the Rhodes Scholars. Wait, didn’t they split up already? Oh wait that was about two weeks ago so there’s no reason to remember it. This is basically just a way to put the dancers over which is fine, but the Scholars shouldn’t have split already. This should be the reason they break up, but that would make too much sense I guess.
I’ll go with Rock to retain the title, but I’m not 100% sold on it anymore. The promos don’t have me wanting to see the match as much as I wanted to see them last month, but it should be better now that Rock isn’t coming in seven months cold. I think they’re heading for Rock vs. Cena II at Wrestlemania and I can’ t say I’d argue over that idea. Rock retains.
For the other title match…..I’ll go with Del Rio winning. The bigger question seems to be will Ziggler cash in. He hasn’t been seen much lately at all, which may be an attempt to make us forget about him before he cashes in on Sunday. That being said, I’ve been thinking he’ll cash in for six months now, but I don’t think he’ll do it here. Either that or he cashes in and loses. Del Rio walks out with the title.
This brings us to the Chamber itself. I’m pulling for Henry to win and set up the 6’4 Mexican David vs. the guy that Goliath checks under the bed for every night. That being said, I have a bad feeling they’ll go with Swagger for the evil xenophobia angle at Wrestlemania, which makes my head hurt. Bryan and Kane will likely continue to self destruct which is probably the best thing for them. Orton and Jericho are just there and might have a match at Mania out of it. Hopefully Henry wins but Swagger is the dark horse candidate.
I’ll take the three man machine to beat Shield. Why would you have Cena win the Rumble one month and then lose in a six man the next? Shield goes down here.
Kaitlyn over Tamina and Cesaro over Miz in matches that make no difference whatsoever.
Elimination Chamber looks like it could fit into the category of “good because it has no expectations coming in.” Things could change a bit at this show and odds are we’ll finally get some answers about the rest of the card at Wrestlemania. There are a lot of options open still which is nice as opposed to the card being pretty obvious eight weeks out. The show should be good an interesting, which is a good sign.
