Elimination Chamber Predictions

After the Royal Rumble, I am 2-2 in my predictions.  (Even though I did predict the Rock to win at the Rumble, I am considering that an ‘incorrect’ prediction because I picked CM Punk to retain the WWE Championship.)

 

Here are my picks for Elimination Chamber:

 

-WWE DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Kaitlyn (CHAMPION) vs. Tamina Snuka

 

YAWN.  I don’t really care who wins this match.  Neither wrestler excites me as the Divas Champion.  I guess Kaitlyn will retain.

 

Winner and STILL WWE DIVAS CHAMPION:  Kaitlyn

 

 

-UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Antonio Cesaro (CHAMPION) vs. The Miz

 

This is a tough match to predict.  Cesaro has been a dominant U.S. Champion.  He already successfully defended the title against The Miz on the Royal Rumble pre-show.  But The Miz won’t lose twice.  He is eager to get back into the spotlight as a WWE champion, especially with WrestleMania   around the corner.  The Miz will find a way to win.

 

Winner and NEW WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPION:  The Miz

 

 

-WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Alberto Del Rio (CHAMPION) vs. The Big Show

 

Del Rio has been able to outsmart the Big Show in each of their encounters in 2013.  The Champion will use his craftiness to defeat the Big Show again.

 

Winner and STILL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION:  Alberto Del Rio

 

 

-ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH

To determine the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship

Kane vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry vs. Jack Swagger

 

My heart wants Chris Jericho to win.  He would put on a great match at WrestleMania.  But I think Mark Henry, who has been on a path of destruction since returning to the WWE, will induct the other 5 wrestlers in the Chamber into the Hall of Pain and will win the match.

 

Winner and #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship:  Mark Henry

 

 

-John Cena, Ryback, & Sheamus vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, & Roman Reigns)

 

John Cena and Sheamus are multi-time WWE Champions.  They should easily be able to handle the upstarts Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns.

 

Winners:  John Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus

 

 

-WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

The Rock (CHAMPION) vs. CM Punk

If The Rock is counted out or disqualified, Punk wins the Title

 

The Rock did not win the title at the Royal Rumble only to lose it less than one month later.  The Rock will win.

 

Winner and STILL WWE CHAMPION:  The Rock
