Elimination Chamber preview

Read on for my ideas for tonight's WWE Network special event.
-- Kickoff:
- Murphy vs. Akira:
Might as well shake things up and have Akira win. As great as the 205 Live crew is, if this brand's not turning a profit, it's time to make plans to move talents to other shows once Smackdown Live changes nights.

-- Elimination Chamber:
- Ronda vs. Ruby:
Hopefully Ruby can at least shine for a moment before Ronda kills her. I wouldn't mind Becky attacking Charlotte in the crowd to keep that part going.

- Lashley/Lio vs. Finn:
Lio scores the pin, because that's the most interesting thing to do. I'd have him be co-champion going forward and win with Lashley's help. He's a heat magnet. Lashley, Finn, Braun, and Baron all need some shaking up after WrestleMania, BTW.

- Braun vs. Baron:
If Baron Corbin is the best Raw can do as a heel, we've got a problem. While I think Tommaso Ciampa and the Undisputed Era (and potentially Kassius Ohno) will help out in that area post-WrestleMania, I wouldn't mind Bray Wyatt causing a distraction so Braun loses. Otherwise send Baron to the WWE Performance Center for six months or so to shake things up.

- Shane/Miz vs. Usos:
WWE needs to make a real decision on whether keeping the Usos here is the best move after Jimmy's arrest, because this match is going to get pounded by the crowd and frankly they need to make sure Jimmy's in a good place. There's an option for SAnitY to "attack Jimmy before the show" so they get the spot. Shane and Miz retain. If they're going to break Shane and Miz up, save that for Fast Lane.

- Tag team Chamber:
Sasha and Bayley win, because pretty much the whole reason they've been put on hold is for this title. They're talented enough to head the division and work with every other team for a while.

- WWE Title Chamber:
Not going to lie, I want Rowan to either enter Bryan's Chamber pod or run in after someone's eliminated to help him win. Bryan needs to keep the title a long time; he's amazing.

More wrestling coming up.
