WrestleZone Staff Predictions: WWE Elimination Chamber

The WrestleZone staff is back to pick the winners of WWE Elimination Chamber. It’s a fun card filled with what should be some exciting matches!

Check out our WWE Elimination Chamber predictions below!

Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa (Crusierweight Championship)

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Buddy Murphy
• Tyler Treese: Tozawa is a great wrestler but not hot enough to win the belt. Pick: Buddy Murphy
• Harry Kettle: Pick: Buddy Murphy
• John Clark: Pick: Buddy Murphy
• Michael McClead: Pick: Buddy Murphy
• Jonathan Jansen: Murphy has been a great champ for 205 Live and I expect him to have the belt going into WrestleMania. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin (No DQ)

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Braun Strowman
• Tyler Treese: You’d think the stipulation would be a way out for Corbin to get a win via some outside help, but I don’t feel like he really has any friends to make that possible. Pick: Braun Strowman
• Harry Kettle: Pick: Braun Strowman
• John Clark: Pick: Braun Strowman
• Michael McClead: Pick: Braun Strowman
• Jonathan Jansen: There is a 0.00% chance Corbin wins the match. Pick: Braun Strowman

The Miz and Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Co-Besties
• Tyler Treese: The Miz and Shane should hold the belts into ‘Mania. Pick: Co-Besties
• Harry Kettle: Pick: The Usos
• John Clark: Same scenario as the women’s chamber. The only way they lose is if they turn on each other and start a build to a WM match. Pick: Co-Besties
• Michael McClead: Pick: Co-Besties
• Jonathan Jansen: This team is built to last … at least until WrestleMania. But The Usos are a great tag team to have challenge The Miz and McMahon. Should be a fun match. Pick: Co-Besties

Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush vs. Finn Balor (WWE Intercontinental Championship)

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Finn Balor
• Tyler Treese: Finn’s abs would look extra nice with a white belt around them. Pick: Finn Balor
• Harry Kettle: Pick: Finn Balor
• John Clark: Pick: Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush
• Michael McClead: Pick: Finn Balor
• Jonathan Jansen: Finn Balor will look great at times, but Lashley and Rush will just be too much to overcome for Balor. Pick: Lashley and Lio Rush

Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott (WWE RAW Women’s Championship)

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Ronda Rousey
• Tyler Treese: Charlotte could interfere a ton, hit 15 spears, and Riott still wouldn’t have a shot. Pick: Ronda Rousey
• Harry Kettle: Pick: Ronda Rousey
• John Clark: Let’s be honest, you would bet your house on this match. Riott has no chance. Pick: Ronda Rousey
• Michael McClead: Pick: Ronda Rousey
• Jonathan Jansen: Could be a fun match. But we all know what’s happening for WrestleMania. So what can make the match interesting? ‘The Man’ could add some intrigue to this bout. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe vs. Kofi Kingston (WWE Championship)

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Daniel Bryan
• Tyler Treese: I’d love to see Kofi win it here, but I feel like his time could come in a singles program after this. Pick: Daniel Bryan
• Harry Kettle: Pick: Daniel Bryan
• John Clark: It will come down to Bryan & Orton and they will begin a program heading into WM. Would not be shocked to see Wyatt get involved. Pick: Daniel Bryan
• Michael McClead: Pick: Daniel Bryan
• Jonathan Jansen: The new Daniel Bryan has been a breath of fresh air and he’ll most likely carry the title into WrestleMania. And could get some major heat if he were to derail the momentum of Kofi Kingston. Pick: Daniel Bryan

Nia Jax and Tamina vs. The Riott Squad vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs. The IIconics vs. Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Naomi and Carmella

• Bill Pritchard: Pick: Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville
• Tyler Treese: I want a feel good victory for the faces. Pick: Sasha Banks and Bayley
• Harry Kettle: Pick: Sasha Banks and Bayley
• John Clark: This has been building up for a very very long time and the only possible reason I see Banks & Bayley not winning is if one turns on the other and they build to a WM match. In that case I would think The IIconics win. Pick: Sasha Banks and Bayley
• Michael McClead: Pick: Bayley and Sasha Banks
• Jonathan Jansen: There is no tag team in this Elimination Chamber that is more than ready to carry this new division. They are fun to watch and are perfect together. Also keep in mind, Raw tag teams had to qualify. Smackdown Live teams did not. So I expect this to be a catalyst into a feud between The IIconics vs Banks & Bayley at WrestleMania. Pick: The IIconics
