WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 predictions
Males’s Elimination Chamber Match — John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Jake Paul vs. Damian Priest: There is a honest quantity of drama heading into the match, however this determination feels prefer it got here right down to Cena or Punk. Cena’s return for his “retirement tour” has been disappointing in his close to whole absence from WWE programming. Until he is prepared to truly be on tv week in and week out, there is not any cause to strap the largest match of the yr to his again proper now. Punk and Rhodes have had some glorious confrontations and it felt like a fuse was lit of their current face-to-face on Uncooked. For these causes, Punk edges out Cena for the decide. After all, no person was calling for Jey Uso to win the Royal Rumble, so this prediction is made with no diploma of certainty that the 4 different males within the match are out of the working to get the victory. Choose: CM Punk wins — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)
Ladies’s Elimination Chamber Match — Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi vs. Liv Morgan vs. Bayley vs. Roxanne Perez: Belair dropping the WWE tag workforce championship may very well be an indication the promotion is making ready her for an additional singles run. There aren’t many compelling ladies’s singles stars proper now, and Belair is one in all their most completed. Belair vs. Ripley is one thing followers have been ready for. They’ve by no means had a singles match in opposition to one another on the primary roster. Including to the intrigue, Belair is undefeated at WrestleMania. Choose: Bianca Belair wins — Mahjouri
Belair and Naomi really feel like they’re tied up within the ongoing drama surrounding the assault on Jade Cargill. Morgan is tied into that, in addition to the continued drama inside Judgment Day, and she or he simply received the tag titles (with Raquel Rodriguez) from Belair and Naomi. That is sufficient ongoing tales that it feels odd to shove her right into a WrestleMania title shot as nicely, particularly one in opposition to somebody she was entangled with for months in Ripley. Bayley would not have any true momentum to headline WrestleMania on something however the power of her title. Perez remains to be being constructed as much as the purpose the place she would get such an enormous spot on the greatest present of the yr. By technique of elimination, that leaves Bliss as a strong option to win. Bliss simply returned from damage and followers can be excited and able to see her gun for the highest as soon as once more. Choose: Alexa Bliss wins — Brookhouse
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens (Unsanctioned Match): There are few pairings as dependable in delivering an ideal story and nice match as Owens and Zayn. There is not any cause WWE would have them have a single one-off match, which leaves the query of whether or not they would favor the story shifting ahead with Zayn or Owens on the lookout for retribution. Zayn is at all times higher on the chase, as with all nice babyface, which might counsel Owens being the person keen to go just a little too far to get the victory in an unsanctioned setting. With that in thoughts, we throw our decide behind Owens in a memorable match. Choose: Kevin Owens wins — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)
Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus vs. Nia Jax & Candice LeRae: Stratton wants this win, pure and easy. The WWE ladies’s champion will defend her title in opposition to Charlotte Aptitude at WrestleMania. Having Jax and LeRae go over is counterproductive to constructing intrigue for the ladies’s title match. Aptitude is the winningest ladies’s world champion in WWE. Stratton, a first-time important roster titleholder, is already the underdog. There is not any have to additional stack the chips in opposition to her. Choose: Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus win — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
